This is a US website no?

My employer has already been putting measures in place to what seems to be potential loopholes. Hybrid working was bundled as part of “flexible working”, they have separated it out into a different terminology. The term Flexible Working is now purely for those who want to change their hours like removing a day once a week and getting paid less, or moving hours from one day into the other 4.

A large number of companies are pushing to get people to RTO and I get the feeling these workers rights won’t counteract that.

Ditto! My mum would jazz it up a tad by making an apple sauce to go with it. To this day it’s so memorable for me as a delicious desert but for some reason I’ve not attempted to make it myself

I’m still in those early cautiously optimistic stage where I hope I can make a positive change that will help those who come after me. How long does it take for the pessimism to set in? 😂

Thanks for this. As part of onboarding I have been trying to update where I can. There are times I wonder if I am adding to docs what others may perceive as fluff as it may be something obvious to them. I like to work with a “If we’re all on a bus that goes over a cliff, does someone new have everything they need?” mentality.

At present the team is using GitHub Pages, which almost feels like a hurdle itself in updating the documentation quickly and keeping it organised and consistent. Being a junior I personally prefer a WYSIWYG. From your experience is there any pros/cons in using a WYSIWYG vs Markdown?

Thank you for those links, it has given me a great place to get stuck into!

It’s also the switch from : to - that gets me

I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren’t relevant to my taste. I don’t think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.

“It’s the anxiety associated with real-time conversations, potential awkwardness, not having the answers and the pressure to respond immediately” - this hits the nail on the head for me about not wanting to be on the phone/teams call in the work place. Being pulled into a call with no context is my biggest nightmare.

I’ve no doubt a previous employer of mine would get us to sign a bit of paper saying we’re happy to be contacted outside of our working hours, and being told it’s mandatory to sign it.

Give Deep Space Nine a go if you haven’t it’s the slightly darker side of trek.

Let me live in my denial please 😭

I think you’re right, which makes it all the more confusing as to why the third film just didn’t come across so well to me

Given the state the last government was run by Tories, I hope it will be a long time before we see them get into power again.

It’s such a shame that with each film it degrades in quality. The Matrix was outstanding, The Matrix Reloaded was not nearly as good, but you could see there was still passion put into the movie, the Chateau fight and the highway scene were still so very well done except for the shoddy CG in some places. The Animatrix was so fascinating. The third film is just where it completely fell flat for me. I’m glad they never made any more films after that, I’d hate to see what they would do to ruin things further.

The game seems to have just come out of nowhere, now I’m seeing lots of articles popping up based on how uninterested players are. I don’t know how much interest there is in 5v5 shooter games?

I wonder if lowering the skill floor will draw in a crowd for what is now a niche genre.

I was absolutely excited for Black and White when I was younger. In school we had to write an article for English class and I chose to write about Black and White’s upcoming release. I got a good mark from it and my English teacher was equally intrigued.

The game came out and I sunk a good amount of hours into it. Was it the best game? No of course not, but it gave me great memories. I don’t think I’ll ever go back and play it again as it won’t live up to the nostalgia, but it would be interesting if someone attempted to tackle this kind of genre again.

I’m a Brit, always thought it meant “Fuck you.”
