Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”
A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.
Capitalism is so exhausting
Fuck this
This is insane.
Capitalism is so innovative /s
Hi! Want to completely fuck the keyboard-tracking system in the ass? Want to do it in a way that they literally cannot do anything about without disabling primary Windows functions?
Step 1: Open Notepad.
Step 2: Copy the following text, line for line, omitting only the — that caps either end of it. — Dim objResult
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
Do While True objResult = objShell.sendkeys(“{NUMLOCK}{NUMLOCK}”) Wscript.Sleep (6000) Loop — Step 3: Save this as whatever.vbs, put it somewhere you can access easily, and double click it when you start your computer.
What does this do?
This runs a very basic script, and every six seconds, your computer will double-tap the NumLock key (i.e., turn it on, and then off) in a single instant. This counts as a key-press, occurs with a key that shouldn’t affect most things that you’re doing, occurs with no gap between them even if it could affect things you’re doing, and should prevent this kind of BS from engaging. As an aside, this will also prevent your computer from automatically locking itself, so take that into account if you need to manually lock your computer when going to lunch or whatever.
Damn, Tumblr back at it. Now we got coders coming in to save the day.
Tumblr’s collective hate for capitalism is astounding every time but damn if I don’t love it
[ID: A cartoon image of Santa Claus pointing to a blue block of text. The text reads:
The Salvation Army is NOT a charity.
They’re an Evangelical Protestant Church that uses donations to actively suppress LGBT Rights. They’ve threatened to close thousands of New York soup kitchens if forced to adhere to Civil Rights laws with gay employees. They refuse helping LGBT homeless that come to their Shelters. Donations are spent lobbying against LGBT rights globally. Please research a Charity before donating.
I got around to listening to the life of Sinuhe and when the narrator (Sinuhe?) is telling about the new king he says "he's vengeful, a smasher of foreheads". That's oddly specific. Is that just a phrase - something that emphasises strengh? Does it have any cultural meaning? Is smashing foreheads seen as extra terrible? This just jumped out to me so I was wondering ^^
‘smasher of heads’ (line 55) comes after a long section wherein Sinuhe laments the loss of the King when speaking to another. In this section he talks about how good the new King will be at ruling Egypt, and then starts listing things like 'He is the possessor of Wisdom’ or 'It was he who subjugated the foreign lands while his father was in the palace’. 'Smasher of heads’ is a very specific royal propagandistic image of strength that you see turn up in many battle reliefs, wherein the King is shown holding the hair of multiple enemies in one hand and a mace in the other:

In one way this demonstrates the power of the King over his enemies, and on the other it falls in line with Ma'at, wherein images are said to be imbued with Heka and whatever they depict could come to fruition. By showing the enemies in the defeated position the Egyptians believed that it was more likely for their enemies to be defeated to 'balance’ Ma'at. This royal image goes all the way back to the Early Dynastic period with the Narmer palette:

So this motif is one invoked again and again, so much so that it would be common knowledge for the Egyptians listening to the tale. Interestingly, the literal translation of the line is 'one who is vengeful, one who splits open the top of heads’ which is much more gruesome than 'one who smashes foreheads’!
