For working remotely - a strange thing is that in Oxford, people are way more likely to meet you (not just on a polite level, but really meet you) than they did in Pasadena, CA & San Francisco, CA where I lived before. So even when I work from home, I have way more physical contact than I had in years. Greets from Gibraltar as of now 👋
Morning 🙂
assume that’s a nod-and-a-wink joke?
text is hard
I was hoping that they would cancel the daylight savings time thing, same as we've cancelled a bunch of other things :(
daylight savings is no longer gonna be a thing from next year, if memory serves
månmån

Morning.
maybe I don't understand what instacart is
I thought it was like shopify
and didn't really understand the boycot thing
but turns out its more like ocado
which suddenly makes more sense
I have some friends who work for Instacart and it can be kind of brutal even when there isn't a pandemic happening. I have a very low opinion of most of these "gig economy" companies because they are pretty abusive to their (contractor-not-employee) staff -- and of course most of the folks who work for them are doing it because they're already low-paid and don't have much of a safety net.
(overall these "disruptive" Silicon Valley companies are just vile in terms of labour laws and accountability -- Uber, Lyft, AirB'n'B... they make my blood boil!)
Whilst feeling sympathy for its poor, abused drivers, I hope Uber is dying the death of a thousand cuts 😐
They are offering millions of free rides to healthcare workers and seniors etc but I just saw a report their business was down 94%
