‘It shouldn’t get to that’

‘It shouldn’t get to that’

U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh isn’t down with younger generations’ quiet quitting tactics. Basically, the former Boston mayor said, workers need to figure it out with their employers. “Certainly, as the City of Boston mayor, if I had a situation where I had people taking a step back in working for me, I would address it as an employer,” Walsh said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “I would go over and talk to them and find out what the issue is and what the situations are and have those… Source link

Google brings Parler back to Google Play Store

Google brings Parler back to Google Play Store

A year and a half after it was removed from Google’s Play Store, Parler, a Twitter alternative that attracts conservatives, has returned to the showcase for Android apps. Why it matters: Google removed Parler following the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, which was incited by misinformation and violent speech online. Details: Beginning Friday, Parler will be available for download in Google’s Play Store, in addition to Apple’s App Store, where it was brought back in April 2021. The app is being… Source link

Immortal Redneck, a surprisingly fun FPS about a yahoo on vacation in Egypt, is free right now

Immortal Redneck, a surprisingly fun FPS about a yahoo on vacation in Egypt, is free right now

Immortal Redneck is really not a great title for a game—in fact, I would argue it’s actively bad. The game itself is not, though, and it’s also free on GOG (opens in new tab) for the next few days, which means that if you don’t want to take my word for it, you’ve got absolutely nothing to lose but 7 GB of storage space by trying it out for yourself. The setup is silly: A local yokel takes a vacation to Egypt, then crashes his dune buggy (which he brought with him, of course) and wakes up… Source link

A hacker attacked Yandex Taxi and sent dozens of cars to the same location

Yandex Taxi is however owned and operated by Russia’s largest IT corporation Yandex. Yandex is the equivalent of the Russian Google. Europe has thus far sanctioned the company’s co-founder Arkady Volozh, because of accusations that Yandex is “de-ranking and removing content critical of the Kremlin, such as content related to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” No one yet knows for sure who was behind the Yandex Taxi hack. However the Twitter page of Anonymous TV has taken… Source link

Six pass catchers to consider fading in drafts

Six pass catchers to consider fading in drafts

Kelce’s yards per route run have decreased nearly 20 percent over the last three seasons with Tyreek Hill off the field, and Kansas City added JuJu Smith-Schuster to play the slot during the offseason. Kelce is being drafted higher than Mark Andrews, who’s six years… Source link
