  • How would you compensate employees for commuting to work?

    Jump

  • No. It's not the employers fault that Alice spent more money on her mode of transportation.

    This is why paying people for their commute is unreasonable. Payment by mileage is based fuel costs mostly. Some wear and tear, but mainly it's to offset the fuel cost. If someone rides a bike to work, they don't have fuel costs, therefore should not be compensated.

  • Thinking of getting a retro gaming machine.

    Jump

  • A lot of it depends on what consoles you want to emulate. I'm no expert, but from what I've seen just casually looking through retro gaming forums, is that anything up to N64/PS3 is doable with relatively cheap hardware. But if you want to emulate N64 or PS3 and above properly, you're going to need to step up in specs.

  • Nuclear power may be the solution to Texas’s electric grid woes

    Jump

  • Nuclear is the way to go.

  • Teacher suicide exposes parent bullying in S Korea

    Jump

  • How about not giving the parents the teachers' personal phone number for starters. Every and all contact should be through a school email or chat app.

    And any email from a parent harassing or threatening a teacher gets escalated to the principal.

    If it continues, the pupil is expelled from the school

  • Is outbound federation with 0.18.x instances working? Edit: federation in general is broken

  • Something's up for sure. I can't get into my account on lemmy.world. Was working earlier today, but not anymore. I can log into Beehaw though

  • If you set up a decent sound system - what would be the first track you would play?

    Jump

  • Myage - Descendents

    Suggestions on espionage/spy shows

  • can't scroll on the "Look and feel" section of my settings.

    Jump

  • Same. I posted something a little earlier today.

  • Looking for better Sports streams

    Jump

  • When it comes to live sports, I gave up on trying to find online streams a while ago. IPTV is really the best way to go for that.

  • 'Conspiracy theories have become normalised in Britain', says BBC disinformation correspondent

    Jump

  • COVID, UFO/UAP's...the list goes on and on. Conspiracy theories are actually turning out to be the most reliable news sources. The MSM has proved over and over that they are just shills for whatever government they serve and we can't believe anything they put out as news.

  • How is Lemmy supposed to replace Reddit?

    Jump

  • It's not meant to be a Reddit replacement

  • Anyone else watching 24 hours of le mans? (live stream in link)

    Jump

  • Can someone explain why they didn't allow intermediates? Seems dumb to have to choose between slicks and full wets.

  • What's the current state of printers on Linux? Are there any decent options?

    Jump

  • This has been my experience as well. I use Linux Mint Cinnamon and two Canon PIXMA printers. One large format and one printer/scanner. Canon does not have any Linux drivers on their website, but they were recognized and supported when they were plugged in. Pretty much plug and play

    One thing I've noticed though is that the CUPS drivers seem to be the bare minimum. You can't do things like see ink levels and the color/brightness levels are off by quite a bit. A lot of times It takes a lot of tweaking to get colors accurate that for a lot of my photos, I just fire up the windows machine and print them from there

  • Favourite comedy films?

    Jump

  • Haha. Tough call between that and Young Frankenstein. Actually there's so many good comedies out there, it's tough to just pick one or two

  • Favourite comedy films?

    Jump

  • Blazing Saddles and Airplane

  • Android’s distribution numbers remain as depressing as ever

    Jump

  • Yeah. Maybe improvements to cameras is still a thing, but even those are so much better now than they used to be. But even that is really dependent on what phone you get. A flagship will always have a better camera than a budget phone.

    Other than that I see no reason to spend top dollar on a mobile device whose capabilities peaked 5 or more years ago. I just buy used unlocked mid range phones every three years or so. Can't say I'm missing anything.
