Solo in Italia e in questo periodo un datore di lavoro si sente autorizzato a dire questo.
Schifo assoluto!

In Italia operai in cassa.
In Serbia operai che non si trovano perché gli stipendi sono bassi, e chiamano gente dal Nepal perché là hanno stipendi ancora più bassi.
Ma dato che servono più operai, cercano di distaccare per qualche mese quelli in cassa in Italia offrendo incentivi.
E via avanti così, nel loop dello schifo lavorativo di stellantis.
Schiavismo never dies, foraggiato dalla politica e dal denaro pubblico.
Stati messi in concorrenza al ribasso, tanto da pagare il saccheggiatore.
L'idea che la Serbia abbia impiegato risorse pubbliche per attrarre capitalisti che in risposta offrono salari rifiutati dai suoi cittadini è di una gravità imbarazzante.
Roba da scriverlo con la merda nei cessi delle fabbriche e portare i fiorellini bocconiani a pulirli con la lingua.

My portfolio shots.
Photographers will usually have a portfolio of photos that they consider examples of their best work.
Whilst I do not yet consider my work to be worthy of claiming a portfolio….I do have a selection of photos I am happy with. Shots I rate above 7/10 on the self-deprecation scale (0 = landfill shred, 10 = must have been a fluke).
Be it composition, or colours or content, here is a selection of my work-in-progress that are OK by me.

#AOL is finally shutting down #Dial-Up #Internet.
After 34 years of connecting users to the Internet through phone lines, AOL recently announced it is shutting down its dial-up modem service on September 30, 2025. The announcement marks the end of a technology that served as the primary gateway to the World Wide Web for millions of users throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

AOL confirmed the shutdown date in a help message to customers: "AOL routinely evaluates its products and services and has decided to discontinue Dial-up Internet. This service will no longer be available in AOL plans."
According to 2022 US Census data, approximately 175,000 American households still connect to the Internet through dial-up services. These users typically live in rural areas where broadband infrastructure doesn't exist or remains prohibitively expensive to install.
<https://www.reviews.org/internet-service/how-many-us-households-are-without-internet-connection/>
⁉️The gap between dial-up and modern Internet connections is staggering. A typical dial-up connection delivered 0.056 megabits per second, while today's average fiber connection provides 500 Mbps [nearly 9,000 times faster]. To put this in perspective, downloading a single high-resolution photo that loads instantly on broadband would take several minutes on dial-up. A movie that streams in real time on Netflix would require days of downloading. But for millions of users who lived through the dial-up era, these statistics tell only part of the story.⁉️
👾AOL's shutdown doesn't mean dial-up is completely dead. Several providers like NetZero, Juno and Dialup 4 Less continue to offer dial-up services, particularly in areas where it remains the only option.👾

⁉️The Sound of the early Internet.⁉️
For those who came online before broadband, dial-up meant a specific ritual: clicking the dial button, hearing your modem dial a local access number, then listening to the distinctive handshake sequence — a cacophony of static, beeps, and hissing that indicated your computer was negotiating a connection with AOL's servers. Once connected, users paid by the hour or through monthly plans that offered limited hours of access.
The technology worked by converting digital data into audio signals that traveled over standard telephone lines, originally designed in the 19th century for voice calls. This meant users couldn't receive phone calls while online, leading to countless family disputes over Internet time. The fastest consumer modems topped out at 56 kilobits per second under ideal conditions.
👾AOL didn't invent dial-up Internet access, but the company perfected the art of making it accessible to non-technical users. Where competitors required users to understand concepts like PPP settings and TCP/IP configurations, AOL provided a single software package that handled everything. Users just needed to insert one of the billions of CD-ROMs [I got dozens of them, in the late 90’s] the company mailed out, install the software, and click "Connect."👾
