What we know so far, the guy was also committed to an asylum for hearing voices telling him to kill people.
Seems like yet another failure of people not doing their jobs yet again.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•is there a useful way for tech workers to express interest in a union? In USA.
17·2 years agoHere’s what I’ve done when attempting at my workplace via the postal workers union.
Get in contact with an organizer, they are there to help guide you or who ever wants to be the main leader of this effort. I will say, as the lead organizer in my attempt, it’s just talking a lot, and getting people to a meeting, it kinda sucks but isn’t a huge ordeal to do, and takes maybe 2 hours in a busy week.
I went through the AFL-CIO website aflcio.org/formaunion and filled out my information, during my major attempt it took half a week to get in contact with an organizer, though it could take a bit longer.
You’ll get in contact with an organizer and they’ll get a rundown of your workplace and what it looks like.
After that there’s about an hour’s worth of training to know your rights and what works for your union.
Then you’ll be pretty much ready to go to start talking with coworkers to try and get an organizing committee (10% of your workplace) which will be your main coworkers who should be all about the idea, after that 10% then you’ll start convincing everyone in your workplace and soon after that collect signatures.
Then you’ll go to an election, sadly I do not have much information to get beyond here as the movement fell apart in my workplace during signatures due to a weak organizing committee.
Hope this helps ya out and if you want any additional information I’m happy to share, we need more unions especially in IT!

1·2 years agoI’ve asked the same thing to my organizer and it was basically telecom is the closest to it under the AFL-CIO umbrella, and i believe he said they may end up getting an IT specific union once enough get unionized.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Your opinion on upgrading from an i7 2600KEnglish
5·2 years agoAs everyone else has said if you feel like the speed is fine, stick with it, but before you upgrade your next GPU maybe up that CPU next. I’d recommend going with any AMD X3D CPU that should help your performance the most and maybe it’ll be your next 12 year old CPU if you go x800x3d or higher

There’s already a report button if someone has an issue with it let them report it, this is just going to lead to a ton of false positives or be completely useless.

Europe@feddit.de•Conscription is resurging across Europe. Is that a good thing?English
71·2 years agoI’m someone who studies history a lot.
Everything you said could be replaced with 1910-14 as the current year and you’d be pretty close to prevailing opinions of the day.
Wars need men. Well trained men ideally, but he who has the numbers usually wins.
In WW1 It took 3-6 months to churn through the professionals, in WW2 I don’t recall off hand but we’re looking at months. In Vietnam it did take 5 years yes, but that’s not the kind of war that Europe is or should be preparing for. In Ukraine it seems likely to be around 9 months, for Russia at least (unless you’re paratroopers then 3 days).
Outside of huge technological and leadership gaps you need the bigger army to win and that’s why conscription is the necessary evil.

Europe@feddit.de•Conscription is resurging across Europe. Is that a good thing?English
141·2 years agoYou are by no means wrong. But outside of ancapistan types, I think everyone can say the governments job is to protect it’s citizens from would be invaders. With world tensions rising along with various other crisis’ it’s just the best move, being prepared for the worst and taking precautions.Trained vs untrained soldiers could be the difference between 500 casualties and 2500 (the infamous German school battalions of WW1 for example)
It’s one of the few actual necessary evils, unless your country is on the offensive of course.

5·2 years agoIf you’d like some advice (these are just quick , easy get you 90% of the way there tools) use passmark for cpu benchmarks and 3dmark for GPU. It’ll give you a nice ordered list ranked and everything.


I think it’s important enough to note, there’s no evidence showing this was the plan in any Soviet campaign in WW2. (But this is based off memory so there could be a single digit number of times)
In WW1? That would be accurate. Say what you will about Soviets but weapons were something they could produce and properly supply unlike the tsar.
In the Ukraine war though you are probably correct.
