Nadie quiere contratar a un programador web de 42 años que se ha quedado obsoleto en ciertas cosas (aunque con ganas de aprender) y estoy pensándome lo de ser autónomo. ¿es tan malo como lo pintan? ¿hay algún sitio dónde podría encontrar clientes/trabajo? agradecería un #retoot o algún consejo. #freelance #autónomo

A ver cuándo hablan sobre la PUTA INVASIÓN DE ESCUELITAS PRIVADAS SUBVENCIONADAS que sufre Euskadi. Proporcionalmente, en Euskadi hay más centros concertados que en Madrid, lo que demuestra que, aunque el PNV sea, efectivamente, una derecha mucho más civilizada y democrática que PP-VOX, a la hora de implementar políticas de derechas resulta también mucho más eficiente y, consecuentemente, dañino.

The Nation just published an in-depth investigation into the horrible work culture that is permitted, even encouraged, at Tesla factories.

The levels of sexual and racial harassment are horrific, while white males are favored in pay and promotions above others, baring many from advancement. The work conditions are exceedingly unsafe.

MOST PEOPLE WANT TO EARN MORE THAN POVERTY.

Gente, cada vez veo más imágenes sin texto alternativo y está feo. Yo mismo, que tengo suficiente resto visual, lo uso muchas veces por pura comodidad.
Cuidemos a las personas, por favor.

The Verge article on the best printer in 2024 is just completely brilliant in so many ways.

And also kinda sad.

Cierra Imaginarium, las jugueteras en general van mal, los restaurantes están perdiendo público, las big tech en crisis, las ventas de videojuegos estancadas. Y luego Mercadona, las energéticas, fondos de viviendas y bancos batiendo records.

Coges, lo mezclas todo y resulta que no hacen falta 80.000 sesudos análisis de economistas y sociólogos para entender que si tienes 1000 euros y te suben el precio de los básicos de vida (vivienda, alimentación y salud) no puedes gastar en otras cosas.
