We started with an unlimited workweek (often 12+ hours a day all day) and reduced it to 40 hours with a weekend and a paid lunch. (Remember the movie 9 to 5 that was typical. Then it became 9-6 with unpaid lunch.)

Around the Reagan era, Osha got defunded so it didn't have time to deal with all the labor violations, which was part of the enshittification.

Who knew it would lead to a nazi uprising?

Turns out everyone did. The industrialist intellegentsia actually warned this would happen based on historical precedent, but the boomer generation was all fuck the future including their own kids. To be fair, prior generations hating later generatiobs was the norm by the time it was their turn.

I mean, the business plot aimed to overthrow America and make it a fascist state.

It took a few more decades, sure, but right now I'd say they actually got everything they wanted originally and then some.

Humans didn't invent this.

The rich did.

Yeah it's pretty but have you ever seen a Walmart parking lot 🤩🤩🤩

Humans saw this and made a limestone mine.

Hard to believe but the 40hr week is an improvement

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 21 points 4 hours ago

We went relatively quickly from 12h day to 10h and then 8h. And we stopped there for no reason.

Worse, they normalised 2 adults per household working 8 hours per day.

It is pretty sad that we haven't had any progress in 100 years despite all the technological marvels.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 hours ago

Maybe we had some progress but a class that is not the working class keeps all the money?
We will never know.

I hope we do. I started working for myself and I've only got my tools on maybe 30hrs a week now, it's pretty great. Most days I can put in a solid 5 or 6 hours and be good. I want that for everyone.

While scenery like this is nice for hiking, try making a living there.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

There's probably fish, game, and foraging available. But, yeah, that's probably more surviving than living.

I hate that often Microsoft Teams is the only piece of software I can get to work for sharing a screen with the layman. Many cross-platform user-friendly options don’t work reliably on Linux, but by some weird twist of fate, I get it to work more often than anything else.

Yes, for an IT person’s own solution, you’d just use a VPN or something, but I’m rarely working with people that are technical enough for this.

Yep used it for a while. Pretty solid, free and uncomplicated. Just send a link with a random word appended and you are meeting.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

No, and I don't think I'd ever ask anyone to try 'Jitsi'.
