Well, it appears the Exodus has begun. And once it starts, it really won't stop. I grabbed this ages ago, guess I'll use it for now: @taral" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@taral

After more than two years of negotiations, we can finally say it: @NYTimesGuild and @nytimes have reached a tentative agreement on a groundbreaking new collective bargaining agreement.

A manager at DHL's main US hub resigned and joined a union organizing campaign after other managers referred to workers as 'inmates' and that the managers were 'wardens' who had to take back the prison from them in response to the unionization effort theguardian.com/us-news/2023/a…

"It"? There's at least 3 things wrong with that thing.

BREAKING 🚨 YouTube Music workers are starting a strike today after @Cognizant and @Google management announced they were forcing workers to return to office on February 6. This is the first strike for @AlphabetWorkers’ and the first known strike at Google. #YouTubeStrike

@travisgoodspeed You probably know this already, but lead acid batteries charge at >12V (around 14V iirc), so please everyone don't connect straight 12VDC to one. It will go poorly.

I don't drive far enough, often enough to keep my battery topped up, so I need to run 12V lines to my cars, outdoors. What's better than Power Pole for this?

@evm_sec @travisgoodspeed ^ This. I had a battery tender clipped to the battery and its power cord was detachable. So I'd just plug it in while I was parked and it took care of everything.

@travisgoodspeed Don’t you want to just use an internally mounted battery tender and then run outdoor-rated extension cords?

If they didn't want to deal with pennies in 1941, why the **** do we still have them today? (Rhetorical question.)

@macromates Any way to turn off the "do you want to install this unrelated bundle that we've asked you about 100 times already" prompts in TextMate?

NEW: conservatives have a Millennials problem. In both UK & US, it’s not just that Millennials aren’t voting conservative because they’re young. Every previous generation grew more conservative with age, but Millennials are not playing ball. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/a0c1c1b…

@zachsilberberg @amandarykoff All I want for the holidays is Chaya Raichik to go to jail.

I want to engage this question earnestly, b/c it’s a legit question. The answer is yes, I do look at left, too. Left-wing activists are responsible for 2% of murders committed by political extremists in the US over the past decade; right-wing activists are responsible for 74%.

Master thread of all of my Mastodon and Twitter migration threads:

"There's a DM shortage in the tabletop community like there's a top shortage in the LGBTQ community." Trying to imagine the reaction to this quote if it appeared in the letters section of Dragon Magazine in the early 80s. We've come a long way, baby. hellgatenyc.com/no-on-wants-to…

@pezN8 Reminds me of this video (What an amazing way to start the day, each child greeted as an individual, a hug, a dance or a high five, and each accompanied with a big smile, generating so much positivity.) ❤️

@apenwarr I found a way to do it, but it was a while back!

@taralx Hold on, is that a thing you can just… do?

After my first experience with LinkedIn, I made sure to disable all InMail and such when I was finally convinced to recreate my account.

Lol: Twitter sent an HR email to every laid off employee acknowledging it's late getting people their separation agreements and release of claims. But the company messed up the BCC and it has become a reply-all catastrophe.

Well this is certainly not alarming, shows a robust knowledge of the issues in running anything financial, and totally won't end in lost funds, lawsuits, fraud, and federal and state regulatory and enforcement actions...
