I’m not even mad at the employers to be fair. The problem is that so many jobs are just busy-work that exists because as a society we can’t imagine decoupling labour from subjugation.

Yeah. That’s the problem. It doesn’t seem to be that they didn’t do the work, it’s that they did other stuff too.

The article doesn’t say anything about productivity or targets. They got as much done as someone who manually wiggles the mouse while thinking instead of going for a walk while thinking.

Notice how this doesn’t even have anything to do with productivity. These people were fired purely for having the gall to not respect office hours regardless of the completion of tasks.

Almost went to Stonehenge after visiting family down south. They wanted £60 and wouldn’t let us take the dog in.

You can apparently get in cheaper if you’re a member of English Heritage. So we looked online to see if it was a fair deal and what other sites membership grants you.

Turns out that English Heritage are a bunch of robbing bastards (they literally stole seahenge!) that enclose our historic sites in order to charge money for access to them.

I won’t be visiting if I have to pay them.

Search for “Hexamethyldisiloxane adhesive remover”. It’s designed for removing ostomy bags but it will remove pretty much any gummy sticky glue from anything with very little effort.

I don’t know if this something you’re deliberately trying to avoid. Apologies if you are, and I’ve missed the point, but

I gave up on doing anything in TK years ago. For all the effort to make stuff work in it, you might as well just use flask and have a HTML frontend. That way, you know it’s going to work on everything and includes remote access as a bonus.

Edit: for a lot more power with a little bit more learning curve, look at fastapi.
