(Exception: they can shuffle hours to other weeks to make up the weekly contracted amount of hours. As long as it works out to the correct average in the end. But as we've found out, it is by no means guaranteed that that actually happens.)
Well, today was mostly spent talking in Dangerous Professional to the manager of the local McDonald's, to get a friend of mine the salary they are entitled to. Things set in motion, and now we wait.
Speaking of which, if you work for McDonald's in the Netherlands and are on a part-time or full-time contract, check your pay slip. They *should* be paying you for your contract hours plus overtime, *not* for the clocked-in hours. But according to the local manager they always calculate by clocked-in hours (as per head office policy), which is illegal.

Ik vind het wel bijzonder hoe Albert Heijn nog steeds heel hard probeert te adverteren met "wij als theekenners" alsof ze de thee zelf produceren, terwijl ze duidelijk exact dezelfde leverancier hebben als Lidl

extremely impressed with me tapping my 
OV-chipkaart on the reader and my watch instantly vibrating with the journey summary and price. TfL could never!

Oh hey, even the HN crowd seems to have finally caught onto the fact that the people controlling the US government are fascists. Or some of them have, anyway

they should make an internet that's usable on a quad core 1.5 ghz processor with only 4 gigs of ram without grinding the entire system to a halt

you know when i was a teen a 1.5 ghz 4 core cpu with 4 GiB of ram would have been an absolute monster of a computer. the rpi's gpu would still have been complete dog shit by our standards back then though. i've never seen a computer struggle to run kobo deluxe before

seriously bums me out to see these specs be absolute garbage tier. hardware keeps getting faster and faster but software is just a race to the bottom now

If you roll your eyes at people asking you not to use ableist slurs and don't really get what the big deal is about 'whatever ableism is' anyway and think we're all just over-sensitive or some shit and tend to skip past threads talking about why you shouldn't be ableist, yeah this one's for you. Read up, fucker.

You know how in Minecraft many mobs have an idle component that makes them wander to random nearby positions without purpose
I have that too
I can understand people being snarky or a smartass about things sometimes, but what I don't understand is people who do that about something they got so wrong that even a cursory internet search would disprove them.
Like, if you're going to be snarky about being right, you should probably make sure you actually *are* right, first

new strategy for internet searches: start with "before:2000 your query here" and walk the year forward until you find results that are useful

I saw a post recommending adding "before:2022" to google image searches to remove ai sludge from the results, but I experimentally used "before:2009" instead on some regular searches and found that it is also really good at just purging a lot of seo sludge too. You'll still get the terrible "ai overview" butting in on a regular search, but it doesn't seem to inject ads at least.
EDIT: it'll still add product listings for some queries :/
