And there are two tiers, most of them didn't even get charged with criminal charges.

Sounds so much like the old "You will own nothing and you will be happy". We got bombarded with things "as a service" and subscription models and I'm definitely less happy. I wanna own my stuff. I don't want to rent it from corporate overlords.

I'm sure this will go the exact same way. At first it will be a tool to make work easier. But then we'll be babysat by a corporate AI that will decide if we're still useful enough. And with every thing we use AI for it will learn more so it can displace more jobs.

Because it's another hassle in my work day. Like I said I hate bureaucracies, especially unnecessary ones.

I'm not a capitalist, but I do hate bureaucracy. Especially when it's just a fantasy for the sake of compliance. Because nobody I know actually reports their real hours. The company just tells the employees they are responsible for timekeeping. If you don't report the exact number of official hours every day you get penalised. Besides that the pressure on employees (not on me like I said but on some others in the same company yes) is still as hard as ever. I have no ambitition to rise in my career so for me it's a bit different.

What I object to is this law not actually improving things but companies weaseling out of it as usual.

Yes but they still are, that's the thing. The big corporations just added another layer of pretend compliance and the rest is not policed.

I think the politicians came off with a publicity win but nothing was actually changed in practice.

In most countries a second job is just not really allowed without your primary employer's approval. Which they are very unlikely to give. It's more a US thing for people who have problems making ends meet.

We have similar laws here in Spain but it is a bit annoying, my employer is making me 'clock in clock out' now all the time. So they can comply with this stuff.

Previously I just worked when I needed to, I work in IT and I was often flexible, hopping out to the shop or the doctor during the day and in the evening I'd hop on a call with someone in Australia. But now everything has to be formalised and officially requested which is honestly annoying. So I tend to just report bullshit hours and do whatever I did before, there's just another bullshit bureaucracy load on me. I was not being exploited and probably worked less than my requisite hours. Just saying these things can backfire as well.

Meanwhile the Indian guy in the mini market downstairs still works 12 hours a day because they only look at large corporations when they enforce this. Which weren't the ones where the problem was in the first place. Because nobody bothers to check the little businesses.

I'm not against laws preventing the abuse of employees, but I mean it just feels I got the short end of the stick, again. The company just shifted their responsibility onto me. People just report fantasy hours, the company is happy because they 'comply' and nothing actually changed.

What does it mean when a religion is officially recognised by the military? Do they get extra time for prayers or something?

Yeahhh I think it will be to be honest lol. She doesn't really write anything positive about them.

I bet most of its buyers never even have a need for a truck bed.

She came there realising the potential of political influence and tried to turn it into a power for good. She failed, obviously.

I think she's a good person if a little naive.

It's not Windows but I know what you mean. And totally agree.
