The Working Time Directive means you can't work more than 48 hours per week and it also prevents employers from making you work more than 48 hours per week (there are some exceptions eg workers on ships and trainee doctors) but in most EU countries you can opt out of it.

Plot twist... my new employer uses it even more 🤦🏻‍♂️

Depends on the age of your tracks, if you have old Victorian bridges etc or aging signal systems it can be very hard indeed.

Have a read on the trouble the 2600 guys have been having sending out emails for the next HOPE conference - the junk filter is also great at filtering out topics it deems unsuitable.

Can only speak for the UK but as the lowest civil court here, small claims decisions are not binding on any other court (including other small claims courts) but they are considered "pervasive" and thus a judge should be aware and take them into consideration.

Chris Sayers reveals why he left Blizzard; fake promotions, lies, and gaslighting in c/games@lemmy.world

He said he was UK based... 100% unenforceable, an employment tribunal wouldn't even bother hearing it

Shut Up & Sit Down, Quinns Quest, and The Year Ahead - Quinn no longer reviewing board games, Tom taking over in c/boardgames@feddit.de

Did he say he wasn't reviewing any longer or would now just be a contributor instead of a more active role?

Well in which case you probably won't believe me but I've been using Kagi for a while and am extremely happy with it... no link with the company at all other than a very satisfied user 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can improve Google a bit using ublacklist but it still wasn't anywhere as good as Kagi.

I will say Kagi isn't as good when it comes to looking for local businesses or services... I still use Google for that but you can do that within Kagi with a !g and it anonymises the search

If you replaced "company" with "monopoly" in your last sentence, I agree.

Feature request - ability to edit posts (sh.itjust.works)
 

Sorry if I'm being dumb with this one, but I can't see how to edit posts. Comments, yes, but posts don't seem to have an edit facility.

I had mistype in a post I made earlier and had to switch to another app to edit it.

Feature Request - single feed/ timeline for multiple accounts (sh.itjust.works)

I would like to be able to use multiple accounts simultaneously with the option of viewing individual timeslines or an “everything” timeline. On the Everything timeline, the UI would indicate which account is showing (and therefore commenting) that particular post.

For reference take a look at the Liftoff! app - it adds a "via " next to the community name * eg !fediverse@lemmy.world via darreninthenet@sh.itjust.works *- indicating fediverse community on lemmy.world instance coming from my sh.itjust.works account.

Purpose - for accounts on defederated instances, or on instances with communities being blocked on some other instances

Considerations:

  • multiple accounts subscribing to the same community - proposed solution is for users to set their accounts in a priority order like the guest account drag and drop, so the account with the highest priority subscribed to that community is shown as the "via" account and used for any posts or comments

Feature request: Long-press gestures (sh.itjust.works)
 

I would like some gestures for a long-press on a post, community etc - probably a pop-up menu with choices of actions
