    I’ve had companies write clauses in their employee manual which states you must apply and get approval for using your paid vacation days a month in advance. When you sign the contract, you agree to these rules.

    The thing is, where I live, there is no requirement to receive approval, and you really only need to give one day of notice (which has precedent in court). The use of these days off if the employee’s legal right.

    The really shitty thing is that companies can legally write illegal clauses in their contracts, they just can’t enforce them. However, if an employee is young and doesn’t know their rights, they will just follow the rules blindly (I know I did).

    Also, leave only accumulated for two years here, so you have to use it or lose it.

    So the moral of the story is to educate yourself on your local labor laws.




  • I recommend a combination of the following Safari extensions: Stop the Madness Pro, UnTrap for YouTube, and SponsorBlock.

    Total cost was about the same as one month of ad free YouTube. Works beautifully.

    I can finally enjoy YouTube again after giving up jailbreaking.

    Making some shortcuts retrains muscle memory. I set a dedicated tab in Safari just for YouTube so it doesn’t clutter up my regular browsing.





  • Yeah the (lack of) difference in price between generations is ridiculous. I just bought a 13 after using my 8 for six years.

    The only difference between the 13 and 14 was once graphics core. So there was no way I was considering the 14.

    But the 15 has USB C, which don’t get me wrong is great, but when you have a ton of lightning cables will need to be replaced, doesn’t seem like such a good idea (especially when family members are still using phones with lightning).
