  • Just about every single union out there has an advisory board that includes employers.

    Absolutely not true. I believe you are confusing a Labor Management Committee - which is a common space for the Union and bosses to meet and discuss issues.

    Bosses are not in legitimate Unions.

    Source: I serve in an elected position in a sizable Union where I also serve on a Labor Management Committee.

    Secondly, Unions are for the Workers - not the bosses. To hell with “costs.” Enough sympathy for these people. If they can’t afford to pay their workers a good wage and provide them a quality work/life balance, they don’t deserve to be in business.


  • I know where you’re coming from. I have direct access to my music at home and use Strawberry to play them.

    Plex (as far as I know) is only “free as in beer,” so i doubt you’re going to have any success finding a 3rd party music player. I have the Linux app for when I’m away and don’t want to use my phone but the tiny, Android-sized Plexamp app on my desktop is out of place, and has its own eq, compression, etc.


  • I was a Xubuntu user for about 15 years but have an old EeePC running Debian.

    I just recently moved my main, home computer (10+ yo EliteBook) to Debian 12 and am very happy. I will be soon moving my amateur radio “shack” computer (bought last year) to Debian as well.

    Forcing Snaps and Snaps’ terrible usage of disk space (in my experience) is what made me move. The annoying Firefox update warning only served to aggravate me further.

    I do use a couple Flatpaks (did with Ubuntu as well) but it was my choice - not a requirement. I haven’t had any disk use problems or bad experiences with them.
