US labor agency sues Starbucks over treatment of Seattle workers
  • Good, go after Starbucks and any other company who tries to pull this crap. Fine them to the wall and make them have second thoughts first instead of going "yeah, we can do that, the penalties are low."

  • After “Barbie,” Mattel Is Raiding Its Entire Toybox
  • Skeletor is here to say some insightful meme crap He-Man! Be back in one hour!

  • DoorDash, UberEats, and Grubhub sue New York City over a new $18 an hour minimum wage for delivery driver
  • This is really just Gig economy companies exploiting a "you're just a contractor and not an actual employee despite the fact that we rely upon you to exist, and you have no legal representation" labor loophole. They want to get back to ye olden days of the 1920s before we had federal labor laws that stopped companies from pulling this crap.

  • "That means that it's good to be big, because you can spread those fixed costs over many, many users. One programmer writing software used by five hundred million users can make a lot more money than software used by five users. So the typical model is to take in a lot of investor money, operate at a loss, and lose money while offering a very compelling service to grow the userbase as quickly as possible.
    Once you're big enough, you can spread your costs around many users, so it's easier to make money. You switch from growing your userbase to making money from it. Because you aren't trying as hard as possible to draw in new users, the service is probably gonna get worse from a user standpoint."

    This kind of reminds me of how Legos are made. Creating the plastic molds from a molding machine to make a single Lego is extremely expensive, but if you make millions of Legos in mass production it reduces costs to make them dramatically to a point where the Lego Group has basically no operating costs to make them anymore. That turns Legos into an investor's dream.

    How well do NAS SSDs or NAS NVME drives run AAA PC games these days? I have a NAS that's a few years old with regular NAS hard drives and I usually get lag if I try to play more intensive games from them. Has the technology improved?

    How common is it to fly your country's flag, and how is it seen by others?
  • CGP Grey made a YouTube video on proper US state flag design etiquette that I personally agree with. Spoiler alert, most states failed the test.

    I'm from Indiana and we're more likely to see our national flag instead of our state flag here, but Indiana isn't known for much anyway.

  • Is lemmy.world more active than lemmy.ml?
  • I'm also a new Reddit user to Lemmy. I know that we can see other instances when we are logged into our main instance, lemmy.world for example, and we can interact with those other instances like email. Are we required to create a separate account if we want to change to a different main instance instead?
