Not classical but a piece of music everyone knows nut few can name is Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs: https://youtu.be/_bpS-cOBK6Q?feature=shared

Your point regarding the legalities of the situation wasn’t missed. I agree with you that we need rights, but the point on the other side is while they can indeed say no, they cannot compel you to come in through means other than threatening firing you. They can say no and attempt to intimidate you, but firing and retraining for most non-entry level roles is a lot of work and often not worth the time and effort compared to letting an employee have a week off.

So while it is formally a request, we as employees can present it as an ultimatum and often if you aren’t terrible at your job, the power-tripping boss will realize it is easier for them to acquiesce and let you have your vacation than it is to go through the hiring process.

I think they’re arguing that unless you make yourself easily replaceable, you don’t have to make it a negotiation. They aren’t arguing the law, they’re just talking power dynamics.

Right now that is a bit of a sticking point with Lemmy. Right now, as far as I can tell, none of the apps for lemmy really do discovery.

If you are on an instance with a large amount of people, the easiest way is probably your instance’s communities list. This can be found by going to your lemmy instances web domain (in your case programming.dev) and log in. On desktop it will just show a little “communities” link in the top left you can click on, on the mobile site you have to tap trending -> explore communities.

What this “communities” list does is list every community that anyone on your instance has subscribed to. Subscriber and daily active user numbers may not be accurate as they as far as I can tell only count your instance’s users.

What I did when I first started lemmy was go through this list and subscribe to any community that remotely interested me.

The place where you will be able to see the absolute most number of communities is a lemmy indexer like lemmyverse.net which lists almost all instances and has all of their communities listed.

Other than that, though, I think discoverability is something actively being developed on the lemmy platform.

Hope this was helpful and you enjoy your time here o7

My favourite theory. “His head just did that”

They patched new HWID requests being sent, but any existing licenses made with those methods are fine. That was only one of several ways to spoof yourself legitimate, though. The rest still work.

On the internet, nobody knows you’re really a frog
