Mystech@lemmy.worldto Documentaries@lemmy.cafe•The Two Dollar Bill Documentary (2015)English1·1 month agoI love those quirky two-dollar bills! As a child, family members would use them gifts, and they would occasionally confuse cashiers (some of whom were certain they were fake).
Mystech@lemmy.worldOPto Documentaries@lemmy.cafe•Bronze Age Catastrophe - Why So Many Ancient Civilizations Collapsed At The Same Time, Late Bronze Age Collapse circa 12th century BC [02:35:04] (CC Auto)English2·1 month agoSorry, Lemmy has this frustrating thing were image links override URL. Should be fixed now.
Obviously fake… FBI too busy protecting Tesla dealerships to do anything else.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto Out of Context Comics@lemmy.world•Octopus Pals with dozens of hands to work with, you say? 😏English8·4 months agoI have so many questions… to which I do not want answers.
War against Murder CEOs remains unresolved.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that if you search "thank my driver" on the Amazon app, you can give your most recent Amazon driver a $5 tip at no cost to you. This is a limited time promotion.English62·6 months agoIs there an option for “Request Amazon to pay drivers decently and improve working conditions?”
Nope, just a “illegally suppress unions” button.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon cloud boss says employees unhappy with 5-day office mandate can leaveEnglish49·8 months agoYet another thinly veiled stealth lay-off by a technology company. Amazon’s cloud boss Matt “The Prat” Garman will indeed see some departures, as intended and desired. However, that first wave will be of their most talented, who feel confident they will land on their feet elsewhere, leaving those that simply cannot leave (yet) or those that will cozily under perform. When Amazon applies the inevitable followup reductions (subjectively based on their internal review process) to remove the latter, and the former buckle under the load or also leave, Amazon will be left with lower-middle talent at best.
The more I see of business “strategy” among this layer of “leadership”, the more I’m convinced it is just a game of Jenga with talent, resources, infrastructure, security, quality, etc; pulling out as many pieces as possible in the drive for short term/sighted gains until a company collapses under its own dysfunctional “efficiency” and “success”.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli Court Orders End to General Strike Protesting Netanyahu’s CabinetEnglish7·9 months agoCourt “ordered” end to a strike generally means that any contractual, union or legal protections workers have are forfeited if the strike continues (i.e. folks can be fired, benefits lost, even sued in some cases). This is not uncommon in regimes where the judicial system has been compromised (USA, Israel, etc). That being said… be a real shame if productivity of non-striking workers were to mysteriously plummet to effectively non-existent levels. ;-)
Mystech@lemmy.worldto[Dormant, please move to !television@lemm.ee] Movies and TV Shows@lemm.ee•*Permanently Deleted*English43·9 months agoFinish the book, George.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the most memorable book you've ever read, and why did it leave such an impact on you?English4·1 year agoOP’s original post/questions, in case you’re curious. They have quite the history of posting and commenting, receiving substantial downvotes and then deleting or obfuscating. Verdict, troll or puppet account.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Georgia court of appeals indefinitely pauses the election subversion conspiracy case against Donald TrumpEnglish21·1 year agoIn unrelated news, Georgia Court of Appeals sporting all new luxury RVs.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto Kobo@lemmy.world•Kobo's first eReaders with E Ink Color displays could be coming soonEnglish1·1 year agoLet’s hope it is better than the BOOX Nova Air C Color. I’m convinced its initially popularity was from paid endorsements and folks suffering from Stockholm syndrome. ;-) Lackluster color (even by eInk standards), very bad ghosting requiring you to crank up the fresh rate so high as to make the battery life laughable. I think they actually pulled it off Amazon due to the high number of returns.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Court To Elon: No You Can’t Just Ignore The SEC’s Investigation Into Your Failure To Comply With The LawEnglish121·1 year agoNot without buying a lot of folks RVs, at least. #SCROTUS

Mystech@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•American automakers are losing the race to make more fuel-efficient vehiclesEnglish661·1 year ago“American Automakers Refuse to Participate in Race to Make Accessible, Fuel-Efficient Vehicles”
Fixed that title for you, Verge.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Republicans to meet allies of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán on ending Ukraine aidEnglish30·1 year agoWhy the closed doors? To quote their own rhetoric, if you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear. Oh right, he’s probably bringing receipts from their boss, Putin.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Brett Kavanaugh says justices are working on ‘concrete steps’ on ethicsEnglish3·2 years agoFrom a group of people that thinks transparency is having a set list of prices for their rulings.
Mystech@lemmy.worldto [Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse4·2 years agoIf they left for that reason, they weren’t visiting you, they were visiting your internet connection. :-(
Now that is a turn… Reddit user/bots copying content from Lemmy BACK to Reddit, instead of the other way around.
