This right here. Unions are a much more potent way to tell management "that anti-consumer idea is bullshit and we won't do it."

I've been tech conferencing all week and I've already seen two talks about unionizing tech workers. Maybe the tide is turning?

People don't just look at the TV for an hour straight - they are doing other things, or second-screening, or having conversations, and multiple methods being available to pick up on the show dialog is helpful.

Wouldn't this make subtitles less useful rather than more? You can't see the subtitles if you're not just looking at the TV. For second-screening, it would be more helpful to listen to the audio while you're also scrolling Lemmy or whatever.

When you say "public transit", does that include bus lines, or only rail?

My guess is that was someone who was in the car, which could be responsible for the erratic driving that resulted in such a horrific situation. That's just a guess, though.
