    Why is it that every iteration of basically every app becomes worse and worse? Sigh.

    @drahardja it's disappointing that this piece didn't take the time to delve into the actual history of general strikes.

    I feel like this piece really just misses the point entirely. Calling for a general strike can, in fact, be easy - successfully generating one is another matter entirely. That doesn't mean we should stop calling for them, though!

    Plenty of history can be found just in the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_strike

      General strike
      A general strike is a strike action in which participants cease all economic activity, such as working, to strengthen the bargaining position of a trade union or achieve a common social or political goal. They are organised by large coalitions of political, social, and labour organizations and may also include rallies, marches, boycotts, civil disobedience, non-payment of taxes, and other forms of direct or indirect action. Additionally, general strikes might exclude care workers, such as teachers, doctors, and nurses. Historically, the term general strike has referred primarily to solidarity action, which is a multi-sector strike that is organised by trade unions who strike together in order to force pressure on employers to begin negotiations or offer more favourable terms to the strikers; though not all strikers may have a material interest in each other's negotiations, they all have a material interest in maintaining and strengthening the collective efficacy of strikes as a bargaining tool. History Precursors An early predecessor of the general strike...

    @drahardja bottom-line: this is a union-busting piece, through and through, anti-labor and anti-organizing, whether it knows it or not.

    @drahardja ultimately I don't think anyone (credibly, anyway) claims that any of the "general strike" calls this author complains about were successful. But again, that doesn't inherently de-legitimize their intentions.

    Instead of saying "leave it to the #unions", I would say, "keep trying" and "talk to your friends and like-minded people". #Organizing is ultimately about relationship-building and #solidarity. No one "owns" the idea of a strike, general or otherwise.

    @doug lol fair. And to be fair I'm mostly kidding, I haven't actually tried Satisfactory but I've heard good things, and there doesn't have to be Only One True Factory (but if there did, it would be Factorio 😉 )

    Omg if you type a number and hit the "CONST" button on this thing it has 128 scientific constants stored.

    Definitely requires some memorization still though... The °F constant is just 5/9, so you have to subtract 32 yourself if you're going for °C.

    I wonder what kind of battery this "two way power" vintage calculator (at least 25 years old) takes...

    5 screws later: oh look, it's an LR44, I have a stash of those.

    Good as new! Now if only it could copy/paste to my computer it could replace the calculator app...

    @tillshadeisgone I just want to say thank you for posting this; as a cis white male I've been wrestling with instance-level action for this, and your take is very helpful and appreciated.

    Tufts full-time professors have been working without a contract since JUNE 2024!

    Before then, their cost of living increased 21% and their salary only increased 13%!

    The total cost of salaries for all faculty is only 3.5% of the university's annual budget! 🤯

    This just keeps getting worse!! #Tufts #tuftsuniversity #MedfordMA #SomervilleMA #MApoli

    @drscriptt yeah we started off as an OpenSRS reseller and then moved on to being an accredited registrar. Domain registration was generally a combination with our DNS for your own domain services.
