Parental and bereavement leave

The Bill gives “day one” rights for paternity, parental and bereavement leave for millions of workers. Around 30,000 fathers or partners will be eligible for paternity leave, while an extra 1.5 million parents will have the right to unpaid leave from day one.

It will also establish a new right to bereavement leave for workers.

Pregnant women and new mothers will get beefed up protections from dismissal whilst pregnant, on maternity leave and within six months of returning to work.

Flexible working

The right to flexible working will become the default for all employees, unless the employer can prove it’s “unreasonable”. There are currently eight reasons bosses can refuse requests such as extra costs or struggles to meet customer demand. But it is not clear how narrowly the change will be interpreted.

The Government estimates 1.7million people could return to the workforce - who are currently out of the labour market - due to flexible working and other policies.

Sick pay

Statutory sick pay will be strengthened, removing the lower earnings limit for all workers and cutting out the waiting period before sick pay kicks in.

Under the existing system, workers who earn less than an average of £123-per-week do not qualify. There were 1.5million people earning below this threshold in 2022-23.

The bill will also end the three-day waiting period before workers can get sick pay. Instead it will kick in on the first day someone is off sick.

AI isn’t going to come with a new magic solution to global warming, it’s going to come with the same solutions we already have. Solutions which we should already be doing, but instead we’re listening to these fucks with too much money.

Fuck you op

Basically Google made it so it only really works well in busy areas, to protect user’s privacy.

Aggregation by default. This is a first-of-its-kind safety protection that makes unwanted tracking to a private location, like your home, more difficult. By default, the Find My Device network requires multiple nearby Android devices to detect a tag before reporting its location to the tag’s owner. Our research found that the Find My Device network is most valuable in public settings like cafes and airports, where there are likely many devices nearby. By implementing aggregation before showing a tag’s location to its owner, the network can take advantage of its biggest strength – over a billion Android devices that can participate. This helps tag owners find their lost devices in these busier locations while prioritizing safety from unwanted tracking near private locations. In less busy areas, last known location and Nest finding are reliable ways to locate items.

I meant how many were knighted prior to becoming PM.

How many Sirs have then become prime ministers?

Did the areas with a high Reform vote, have a higher vote turnout?

I’ve never tried it, but there’s https://map.project-osrm.org/ which might be what you want.

On mobile, I use a mixture of Magic Earth and Organic Maps.

I use either telegram or Bandcamp to get stuff, then beets.io to manage my library, Jellyfin is then pointed to that folder and I mainly use Symfonium to play my music on mobile.

I get that making new drugs costs a lot, but drug companies make way too much money.

Always has been.

Works fine for me ¯\(ツ)/¯

How much of that is because of a certain oil project I wonder?

So basically he’s tired of doing the job.

You should look at either jellyfin or plex. Jellyfin doesn’t quite have the skip intro feature but it’s being worked on, and I think plex has the option to skip intros. Both will autoplay a series though.

In case, like me, you hadn’t heard of Bazzite before:

Bazzite is an OCI image that serves as an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck, and a ready-to-game SteamOS-like for desktop computers, handheld PCs, and living room home theater PCs.

Your link doesn’t seem to work for me

Off topic, but how are you meant to pronounce winget? Win-get or wing-et?

Damn you weren’t lying, that thread was way too long.
