After I applied for paternity leave I got told my contract would not be renewed and then shortly after that my leave was being rejected because my non-renewal makes me ineligible.

I spoke to a lawyer and very quickly my leave was suddenly approved.

Fuck these guys, apply for unfair dismissal, get back on mental health leave, whatever you have available to you.

Thank you for the detailed response. I presumed their conduct in the past had resulted in the community becoming inaccessible.

Oracle Cloud has a very generous free tier that includes outgoing data and multiple VMs.

Is there a reason we can't see ml c/technology from hexbear? Are we able to defederate from specific communities?

"Justifying your absurdity using hivemind baiting tactics may work on Reddit, but this is Lemmy."

It's actually good when literally everyone else in the room is calling me a fucking idiot and hoping I shut up because that makes it a hivemind, proving my argument correct. This person is totally not a debate pervert.

I find it rough playing versions before 24 now that positional play is finally a working mechanic in the game when it really should have been 10 years ago, but I'm still down.

I'm tentative on 25 given how slow progress is made on these games (They're generally amazing games, don't get me wrong) and I find it hard to believe they'll be able to convert to a whole new engine and deliver an equivalent or improved experience in just one year, but also I'm terribly addicted and will probably buy it as soon as the beta drops.

I'm in an Asian timezone.

I had my first appointment recently and the doctor asked me if I'm frequently distracted or have a lot of unneccesary information in my head and at the time I was focused entirely on why I can see a fake statue of liberty through the window behind them sat in a parking lot.

Hey so just to follow up on this.

I went to Takedao and I have some photos that I need to scrub of data, but i'm not sure if it fits into urbanism?

There's about five buildings there total and the train station is INSIDE the mountain tunnel. You access it through two sets of stairs attached to the side of the mountain.

I did walk down the old train tracks which are now a hiking path, very cool, many bugs.

Are there are downsides to AlmaLinux? From my research it seems like one of the best all-round options but I never see it recommended in discussions like this, unlike Ubuntu which has actual privacy concerns and is owned by a for-profit.

I share the feelings of soyviking in their comment. They put it into words better than I could.

There was a thread on reddit /r/games 1-2 months ago about a few neonazi dogwhistles being found during development of a life is strange sequel.

The evidence was clear - Anyone who has seen these symbols before knows that one is suspicious, multiple in the same place is undeniable proof something is up.

I checked it before falling asleep and the thread was packed full of comments denying there's anything wrong with these symbols, it's virtue signalling to complain about them, that people taking issue with them are in urgent need of therapy, at worst it's all just a coincidence.

And then a bunch of weird nerd types whose main takeaway from "The Wire" was somehow that its cool to swear repeatedly when investigating a murder scene and any racist memes that reference the same line are therefore A-OK!!! i-love-not-thinking

By the time I woke up the thread had been cleared and only more reasonable discourse remained, so there is some decent moderation on the hellsite, but I recognised it as the same pattern I see in a bunch of other places such as sports subs - the moment a divisive topic comes up the thread is flooded with transphobia and xenophobia or just straight up nazi shit, and attempt to argue back will be drowned out by 10s of other comments from fresh accounts or ones with no history in that community.

No real point here, just reddit-logo living up to it's well deserved reputation.
