TikTok tells LA staff impacted by wildfires to use personal/sick hours if they can't work from home
I think this is pretty standard for Chinese companies. My friend works for one, and she doesn't get sick days. They must come out of her holiday allowance.
She gets treated better than her Chinese counterparts, though. For Chinese public holidays, they get the day off, but are then expected to give it back to the company at the weekend

It's cool how they decide what's "official"
I'm aware that presidents are allowed to do what they like now, as long as it's "official". I'm not aware of what republicans are saying biden isn't allowed to do, though. Can someone please fill me in?

My gf got one of those emails, but she doesnt have the Gemini app installed on her phone. All of the instruction articles I can find only explain how to turn it off if you have the app.
Does not having the app mean that she's safe from this, or does it mean that she needs to download the app to disable the "feature"?

Trying to figure out the best way to set up a self hosted matrix server.
I use this and it's been completely flawless from day one. The documentation is up there with the best I've seen, and the matrix room always has someone willing to help explain further

This is just a proposal. It'll take years to pass into a law/directive (if it ever does). I'd say now is probably a decent time to visit, in case it does go forward

Not sure if this could work, but did you try using a VPN to log in from an EU country?
Honestly don't know how the GDPR might affect this, but might be worth a try

I've heard this said many times, and I'm sure there's truth to it. Raw meat needs to be treated carefully because the risk exists.
I'm not sure the risk is as severe as this comment suggests, though since many cultures have a version of raw minced beef like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_tartare

Talks on UK rejoining EU could start in 10 years’ time, says Peter Mandelson
Pretty sure they said something like that after the referendum, which is coming up to 10 years ago at this point

Chat control is back on track.... again
Reply in thread
I'm still confused about people who consider telegram a private chat.
It's easy to verify for yourself that it isn't, so how is this still going around?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. You start by agreeing that telegram is simply not private. Then you move on to implying that it must be, because the CEO got arrested?
How does that change the fact that it is, by your own assessment, not private?
To answer your question, the answer from my perspective is quite simple. Noncompliance. If telegram had complied to local laws, like the others have and continue to do, he would not have gotten in trouble.

Mystery Men was the flop superhero comedy that deserved better
This movie definitely deserved better. I really enjoyed it and watched it many times with friends while high. Not the funniest movie ever, but worse movies have had more success

I think they're trying to say that the amount of brownie is dictated by the amount of batter you have, and you can use one tray as many times as necessary to use up all the batter
