...because delta knows that if they didn't have that pay then they would unionize and probably be able to negotiate something as good if not better (edit: better than what they want to offer down the road. They beat the union rates so they can point at it and say "I told you so!", discouraging a would-be unionized workforce now so they don't have to negotiate with a union later and can get away with the sort of underhanded shit that a strong union would be able to stand up against, including but not limited to lower wages and poor working conditions.)

Just because there isn't currently a union doesn't mean a corporation like that isn't kept in check by both the realized and potential presence of unions in their industry...

Session buddy was a big one for me in college when I had an overwhelming number of tabs open but didn't want to forget about what was on them. Basically just archives all your open tabs to a single page you can refine and look back at, so you can quickly just close everything and start fresh without actually losing anything meaningful or cluttering up your bookmarks.

The marvellous suspender helped prevent those tabs from using so much memory. Chrome hogs enough memory as it is lol.

I have one called tab manager plus which looks handy but I honestly forgot it was there before I ever actually used it lol

No, no. You're giving them too much credit. All it took for the likes of Tim Pool to decry DEI is that the pilot at the time of incident with the door plug was a woman. He wondered aloud if she "pressed the wrong button" and the airline "deleted the flight recordings to cover it up" as if theres some door ejector button on board and as if both boeing and the airline wouldn't be tripping over themselves to pass the blame off on an incompetent pilot if given even a sliver of an opportunity to do so.

All Chick-fil-A had to do was hire a VP with DEI in their title. Bud light simply gifted a can to a trans person with their picture on it. Target just sold a modest bathing suit for adults just with a wider gusset and mild binding effect as an ideal option for trans wearers.

No, all you would need is something like this:

Just THINK about how many diversity licenses they're handing out these days!! How many hoodlum thugs and women with no business driving are out there sharing the road with you, just waiting to kill you in an accident? We all know they can't drive! How many of them got the chance to screw up at the factory where they BUILT your CAR??? Or "fixing" the roads! Everyone knows they don't build em like they used to and that the roads are crap... and it's all because of the wokes and their silly DEI!!

No actual logic or policy required. Bald-faced fear mongering is plenty enough to rile them up. Anything to redirect the blame for societal enshittification to identity politics instead of the obvious conclusions of capitalism falling into an unmitigated death spiral.

That looks to be an Access prompt, from the MS office suite. If you've ever written a macro you know how ancient the UI looks behind the scenes with those apps, and this isn't even a main line office app since it deals with databases and they push excel to work with sets of data like that.

So yes it's a Microsoft product, but it's not really native Windows and it's not an app that makes a lot of sense to spend a lot of time developing.

Just for accuracy's sake. I'm certain there are better examples.

Anyways, I'm perfectly fine with dated UI as long as it's efficient and does what it's supposed to do. If they perfected this stuff way back when you had one chance to ship out a working product, is it really necessary to reinvent the wheel just for aesthetics? Cause that's how you get a neutered settings app instead of a fully functional control panel.

Lol I installed open shell several years ago and have not looked back since. If I wanted to search the web with your shitty search engine, microsoft, I would have opened your shitty browser, now please sit down.

Probably shouldn't have installed it on my work computer for security compliance reasons but it's such an improvement in my workflow that I couldn't not install it. Highly recommend. Legit cannot imagine using windows without it anymore. https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

This reminds me. Apparently, in a pinch, you can also dissolve a few teaspoons of epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in water and drink that. Would have never guessed that stuff is even safe to consume if I hadn't read "saline laxative for relief of occasional constipation" on the front of the bag I just bought.

I started just mixing some psyllium husk into my usual water consumption, but that's partially to support my intermittent fasting schedule.

tbh I'm not sure if nuked garlic is going to be much better than pre-minced and jarred garlic

I also hate the smell that lingers on my hands for days after touching it. Would much rather just scoop it with a tablespoon and call it a day.
