There is nearly always a contract and the business will submit tax paperwork with your compensation to the IRS.
Under the table workers are illegal and on their own
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 3 weeks ago:
I’m an American and I’ve always had a contract. Even in retail. Of course the contracts are all bullshit and just a waiver of my rights.
- Comment on Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t read it as humour I read it as a threat or perhaps a dig on trans folks?
Regardless I didn’t need to escalate.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, or even just budget cuts. I am sure it’s cheaper to just lock it down.
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 weeks ago:
I was at a subsidiary of a very large company and had work slack, email, and all my code on my phone, without even the thing that lets them remote wipe your phone.
It has to do with culture and willingness to put in the effort by the security organization
- Comment on Not allowed to work from home 4 weeks ago:
What does your contract say? With this back to work bullshit I made sure my contract explicitly said I was remote.
Doesn’t mean they won’t change their mind but maybe I’ll get severance instead of fired for cause of they have a back to the office push.
- Comment on Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect 4 weeks ago:
The hell does that mean? They are a shithead CEO, doesn’t need to be more than that.
- Comment on I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at? 1 month ago:
That is IIS, all it means is you are probably talking to a windows server. Is the traffic encrypted? What port is it going to?
- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
But but, we’ve been told Bethesda hears us and was fixing it!
- Comment on What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres? 1 month ago:
An RTS yes, but not turn based. In fact I bet we don’t fine any turn based real time strategies.
- Comment on Could an American please prove me wrong? 2 months ago:
Lolol, was about to post that I played enough hoi4 to know what the south of France looks like
- Comment on Meant to be eaten with Fudgie the Whale 2 months ago:
It’s a Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference. I have only seen the movie (I think the flower makes an appearance) but I have no idea what it’s about.

Do you like it?

Deadlock eh, never heard of it. Seems to be a valve Overwatch?
- Comment on Aaaaah 2 months ago:
Charlie horses are awful. It was hydration for me. When I drink enough water I don’t get them
- Comment on Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why? 2 months ago:
I think AI is falling into disillusionment and Quantum Computers feel at least 10 years behind.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
I thought the connotation was chattel slavery, not BDSM.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
It is changing, albeit slowly. In git the default branch was changed from master to main.
In high availability we use primary and secondary, or many other versions of the same idea (main/secondary, etc).
Not sure how disks are handled these days but I haven’t seen the master/slave terminology in those since my first CD burner
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yeah, she shouldn’t be doing any of that but we have no evidence she is the one that crashed. I bet I could do like 3 minutes of googling to find out, but meh.

Tell me you didn’t forget about Jar Ass?
- Comment on I need to survive for 3 days while pooping, and eating as much as possible. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? 3 months ago:
If you want volume, go for as much veggies as you can. Try 4 large potatoes and a lb of black beans per day.
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
This looks great. My Chromecast just died so I replaced it with a Google TV Chromecast thing, so I don’t have the bootloader exploit. Gonna look at the “unofficial” exploits they mention soon.
Does lineage let you cast to it through?
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
Yeah that’s what I may have to do, but casting from my phone is so nice. And anyone on my wifi can do it
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
I linked it somewhere else here but look up NymphCast on GitHub. It looks great and I don’t mean to cast aspersions on the another, I just haven’t spent time learning how to use it.
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
The new Chromecast TV bullshit makes it a bit more complicated, but the article also says that Google is making changes.
I agree with you though, I have used a Chromecast as my main way to get stuff on my TV for years and years. I don’t want them to complicate it or make me sign in to it, etc.
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
github.com/MayaPosch/NymphCast this exists. I built a proxmox server and patched qemu so I could have a gaming virtual machine, and yet that repo looks like more work than I want to do 😅
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
Is there any open source chrome cast? I know of one project but it required a special server as well. I just want to plug something into my HDMI port so I can cast dumb YouTube videos, why does it have to be this hard.
- Comment on is it possible to be married and still feel lonely? 3 months ago:
Yes, my ex wife and I can attest to that. Your coworker seems like a dick and should talk to a therapist.

Right?
