  • i started a new job (remote, with a chill af boss) that only offered 2 weeks of vacation after the NPO i worked for got bought by a for-profit and i forecasted that we’d be stripped of our 6 weeks PTO accrual (I was right). I stored up my first year’s PTO so i could use it in march for a week-long vacation we usually do for spring break. in january i learned that it’s apparently wiped clean on Jan 1. I now, weirdly, use 0 hours of PTO in a year, but I always take time off when i need it. probably adds up to more than the 2 weeks i’m supposed to have. but i got burned by the rules so i’ve decided i don’t need to play by them. so yeah, i’m not “just accepting it”


  • Yeah, they curate their service with people they specifically invite. At least for a while, no idea if it’s still this way, every channel owner on Nebula was a part-owner to the service and had a vote in major platform decisions.

    I think this rules, personally. It makes me feel great about subscribing knowing that everyone there has a vested interest in the platform as a whole succeeding and producing worthwhile material. On the flip side, there are really good channels on YouTube that I wish were on Nebula, and I think would be a good fit, but there’s not really a process for suggesting them to the platform for invitation.
