Hold Cobra meetings. Call in the army. Threaten more anti-union legislation. *Anything* except talk to the unions about pay. Shameful!

@wesstreeting Did Labour used to campaign for workers to get sensible working hours like 9 to 5? Why do doctors deserve worse conditions than other workers?

Instead of driving down quality of life for health workers, why not give everyone the right to paid time off work to see a doctor?

Slow clap to @RockstarGames for not only gatekeeping their games behind a "social club" no-one wants, not only making it require a verification code each time it rejects your nickname, but also coding the launcher so badly that it doesn't work when you actually find one.

I noticed a bunch of games recently have launched at $20+! Choo-choo Charles, Dwarf Fortress. Indies have been pricing their games too cheaply. Here is the average price of indie games (red line) and AAA games (blue line) for the last 14 years 🧵🧵🧵

[Dominic Tarason @DominicTarason]

BTW, Dwarf Fortress is out on Itch too, for the same price as Steam. The devs get a much larger cut of sales from here, AND you get both DRM-free and Steam key versions of the game.

Basically no reason not to get it there.

@NickCohen4 The modern Conservatives aren't a Thatcher tribute act, they're a Thatcher cargo cult - worshipping the superficial form without any understanding or respect for what Thatcher actually did and stood for.

@ottocrat Out of curiosity: how much is the editor of The Times paid?

[Jack Aidley 🇬🇧🇩🇪 @JackAidley]

@thehistoryguy Probably why he changed his name to Henry.

[Jack Aidley 🇬🇧🇩🇪 @JackAidley]

I suspect (IANAL) he is wrong to believe he hasn't agreed the contract. As I understand it, it is likely his email accepting the deal, and his acceptance of $20k in payment, was sufficient to be legally binding even without delivering a signed contract.

Interesting post (and thread) from the guy who wrote "The End Poem" for Minecraft. Sort of about art and passion and friendship and business and the misalignment when they meet.

[Julian Gough @juliangough]

So if you want to set the words of the End Poem to music, or animate them, or dramatise them, or mash them up with something, or use them on t-shirts, posters, tote bags, barn doors, be my guest. They are now free. Here’s the post explaining everything.

DoNotPay is building a chrome extension where you can specify something like “negotiate my Comcast bill down,” and it will use the Comcast online chat to lower your bill with GPT-3.

Over time, Comcast will also use LLMs. So robots will just be negotiating with each other!

@thomasforth You should be able to do AltGr + 4? (That's the right hand alt key)

People - esp doctors

PLEASE STOP saying that ppl who are highly POS on rapid Ag tests after 5 days are not infectious

There is NO reason to say this

All evidence suggest you are likely Infectious if POS

Biological evidence is MUCH more informative than “but it’s been 5 days”
