Empathy is a huge part. That is why they wear a mask. To protect others. The US culture has a lot of lack of empathy. On the empathy scale, they are on complete different sides.
This is about the UK. Not sure how excempt emplyees are.
I live in Belgium and there is no such thing as an "exempt employee". The fact that it is written in the contracxt does not mean it legal. The fact that the majority of people do not sue their employer over does not make it legal.
There have been rare cases where a CxO wrote down each overtime done and also repeatedly told their boss(es) they where doing the extra time.
Case went to court and the CxO won. Obviously not wise if you plan to work later on. Not a nice thing to do to break a gentlemens agreement, but yet still the law says what it says.
And please ask a qualified lawer in the field to look into it. Not just somebody who thinks he understand contracts, because the contract might be wrong. Also not somebody who says "But everybody does it that way."
Either I will tell them not to, like if it is a friend. Or I forget to tell them and then it is gone. Obviously there is no reason to forget it, as I have nothing to hide. But if an offical entity deleted data, that is their error, not mine, right?
And if I am not there, I must asume that the data is stolen and deletion of data is good.
If you train your people sufficient, this should not be an issue. The thing is 'scripted learning' in itself is not a bad thing. What often is forgotten is that they only do the 'if then' part and not the 'if then else' part. That means that the moment you see it isn't called 'file edit view' but something in a different language, you do not shut down like a basic program written in 1985 by a first grade student.
You ask what they see and interpret it. Blame management who forces unworkable scripts (be it for humans or computers)
I have done 'scripting' for callcenters. Never on the questions. Always on the thought process. The hardest to convice that that is the way to go is management. Because they think it will take longer and thus cost more money.
Time and time again it was proven not to be the case. Quality went up. Customer satisfection went up. Employment satisfaction went up. First level kept the same cost. Level 2, 3 and 4 costs went down as quality of level 1 went up.
At at least one place, they integrated level 2 into level 3 as level 1 took most of the work from level 2.
And the thing is. People on level 1 have a brain as well. They are just not allowed to use it.
I use a Chromebook. It is a HP. I run Debian on it using Crouton That way I can easily find things I want and know, like terminals and bash and what not. As an added bonus I can run it on an encrypted file and if somebody asks to look at my PC and I log in, there will be not much for them to see, unless they know to do CTRL-SHIFT-T, then shell (or pgdwn) and then "sudo startxfce4". And there I can use any browser that I desire with anything that I desire.
e.g. I use LastPass for logins, but not on the one on Chromebook. That user is not even the same as my 'normal' user that I use. I use Chromium and not Chrome on Linux.
The device is fast enough for browsing and the price is low enough to make it interesting. More here on various ones
If I would buy one now, I probably would go for the Acer. That said, I use it as a secondary PC and I absolutely need ssh to servers.
The nice thing with email is that it is many layers and you can decide what you do yourself and what not.
So here is what I did. The companies names are the ones I use. There will be others that do the same or more. 1) Have a domain (12 EUR per year) 15 EUR per year Includes 2 email adresses 2) DNS service. I use one that is free. Points the MX records to my web provider. 3) Webhosting for 25 EUR per year. (Do not think they sell that type) with unlimted emails and email aliasses. 4) Fetchmail, to get the email. Free. 5) Imap web server Free.
So there are 5 things. You actually only need one. That is the first one. So you are done for 15EUR per year. If you need webhosting, have that instead. Just see that the domain is in your name when it is free, not theirs. Again 15 EUR per year total.
Most will have some sore of webmail and/or IMAP or SMTP service that you can use. You can even do it step by step. Just start with the domain (with free email) and then go from there as you feel comfortable or have time. You can even see to it that you give it to Google to read, if that is OK for you.
The reason I use my own mailserver (not that hard to install, if you are able to follow basic steps you find online) is that almost all mail services are blocked where I work. They block on domain name (I know.) and mine is not in any filter. If they do, adding a subdomain would be trivial.
So for 15 EUR per year I would just jump in. Hold on to your old address for at least a year just to be sure. The worst that could happen is that you wasted 15 EUR (or less) and learned nothing. Besat would be that you nbow have your own domain that you can use and abuse with email, website, linking to home (dynamic DNS might be needed. Zoneedit has this and is free.) and that you learned a lot about things along the way.
As an added bonus of unlimited aliasses, I now use a different email for different companies. e.g. slashdot.org@example.com here. So that way I know if something strange goes on. An email from my bank to a differnt address? Spam! A mail to my bank address and not from my bank. Breach at the bank or sold email! Easy to filter on top of whatever filters I deside to use.
Main thing: See that the domain is actually on your name before you hand it out. That way you can transfer it to anywhere away from the DNS company, if you so desire. That is also the reason I use zoneedit. That way my provider can never hold me hostage. I just point the DNS elsewhere and 48 hours later (at most) all will work at a new provider.
People are used to "Free as in beer" by using their phones. There are plenty of ways around the whole KDE/GNOME/XFCE/Whatever debacle. You make one that works everywhere ok, open the API and let others make the ones for CLI and whatever they like.
So when you begin, you use something ugly that works. Later, when it grows in users and your developers are thinking of adding other things, you use them to make it distro specific.
If you make it for CLI, yopu probably will make one for bash or perhaps sh, but do you moan about the others as well?
And if the API is open and others develop the software for you, you can concentrate and charge for whatever service you are actually selling. And then you will notice that your groundbreaking idea that will be the next Google is not actually such a great idea.
Suddenly breaking for not reason is illegal in many places. Try doing that in e.g. Germany on the autobahn and you can get fined.
Also please note the 'almost hit', so the woman did what was expected of her and had apparently the correct distance for the speed she was driving at. Otherwise there would not have been an 'almost'.
Going for a full abrupt stop for no reason is like yelling fire for no reason. As I read it, the car was not slowing down by breaking. It slammed the brakes.
If you have some IT knowledge, so everybody here, use your own domain. If you use email professionally, use your own domain.
Costs about 10USD per year. I do not get it if a local bakery uses a hotmail adresss on their store window,or if a consultant jands me a bussiness card with a gmail adress.
You still can set it up so that Google can read your emails if you want. And that first oart? If you have any IT knowledge and the address is holding you back, blame yourself.
I am sure there wil be a medical term for what he has. He has a mental condition (Not even saying he is an idiot or a moron.) that makes him think he is always right and others are always wrong.
And it is not even "most of the times", it is the "always" that makes it a medical issue.
The reason it does not have that is pre-installation.
Get pre-installed machines in the stores and people will buy it, as we have seen with android. Now you can go in a store and buy an android, windows or apple product.
The first thing people want is convinience. Why would they buy a PC and install software if they can just buy a PC? The majority of the people still buy a car with the audio that comes with it. Why? Convinience.
The reason for all the OEM crap was (and is) that it paid for the Windows licence they had to pay. They would get kickbacks from the companies like the anti-virus companies, because those knew that X % would actually pay for it.
That resulted in the marketing company being force to sell it as "Includes 350 programs' as if it was a good idea.
If I am any reference, asking people to use Airplane mode (even if only during landing and takeoff) will not work. Silent? Absolutely. I will not even turn it off in a hospital. I know surgeons and they SMS and Internet in the operation room all the time.
So you will have to enforce it. Hoever what to do if you forget it? Do you shoot the western tourists whose 10 year old kid forgot and risk an international crisis over it?
And they should not be selling anything to the tourists, as in China many vendors and others use the cellphone for smaller sales, like water or fruit. That will be a problem as well.
I use GNOME to show friends when takking about Linux. That way they stay with Windows and do not bother me when these mere mortals need troubleshooting.
Instead of saying "THIS show is not real and I do not like it, because it is unrealistic." You should say "If I nbotice it with THIS show being unrealistic, hwo about the others where I do not have the experiencde."
Next you will understand the diffrence between a tv show or a movie and a documentary.
And even the 'real life; shows are eithers scripted or heavily edited.to create drama. "But what about news?" Well, if you are in the US, it isn't a documentary.
And Hackers and Sneaker. I liked Hackers a bit better. I want to watch the entertainment, not the science. It is also why I liked "The Net".
Because no matter how interesting it is in real life Social Enginering is, putting it on a screen is boring. And I have watched the "Mitnick" loggings of how he did it (Yep, social engeneering)
Star Wars and Firefly are SF, with a big part F. And as long as the story is good, the rest does not matter that much, as long as it is not explained in too much detail. They are basically fairytales where 'sleeping for 100 years' is called something else and some semi-scientific explanation is done as to how they wake them up after their crypto-chamber went rogue for 100 years.

All in the sig.
You need ONE deb and ONE rpm.
So basically using something like OBS
I see a Moebius OS devloping here. Systemd overtakes Emacs, while at the same time Emacs overtakes Systemd.

Don't bring any of the AB Inbev beers. Because that would mean support from a foreign nations.
Many people in Europe have Yahoo adresses. Some will even have Yahoo.com and not e.g. Yahoo.fr or Yahoo.co.uk adresses.
So what is 4% of their annual turnover? (Hint: GDPR)

Funny you say that. In general pop nusic was always bad. No exeption. It is just that we adapted andf think fond of it now.
And CNN is seen as right wing as well in Europe.
Politicaly compared to the rest of the world the US has a right wing and extreme right lunatics.
(Yes, Urup also has extreme right, but also extreme left and all things in between.)
That 5% is just very spread out over a large area.

Or perhaps I am just to kind for him.

Yes. And that is why I use a Rock64 linked to a 8 port disk tower over USB3 as backup of my backup. Because it is closer to what I need.
I use a Pi zero W with a relay to turn that on and of (among other things) as I do not need the full power of the Rock there.
That is the average. But families where much larger, so about 50% of the people where older than the average.
