  • after threatening them with their livelihoods and retirement yes, he gave them a small amount of what they were demanding

    not a victory and he is not a champion of worker’s rights

    Presidential Emergency Board

    In July 2022, a Presidential Emergency Board was convened under the Railway Labor Act by President Joe Biden.[11] His Executive order stated, “I have been notified by the National Mediation Board that in its judgment these disputes threaten substantially to interrupt interstate commerce to a degree that would deprive a section of the country of essential transportation service.”[12]

    The board issued a report on August 16, starting a 30-day cooling off period that prevents any strikes or lockouts.[6] Reuters reported that the board proposed “annual wage increases of between 4% and 7% through 2024” in addition to retroactive pay increases, one extra paid day off and five $1,000 annual bonuses.[13]

    By the end of August, three unions representing about 15,000 workers agreed to the recommendations made by the board.[14][15]

    On September 14, near the end of the cooling off period, Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh hosted negotiations at the Department of Labor between the railroad companies, and unions in an attempt to prevent a strike.[16] The Washington Post reported that Biden was “personally involved in the talks”, wanting workers to have more flexibility in scheduling.[2]

    Early on September 15, Biden announced a deal had been reached to prevent a strike, including an immediate 14% wage increase, but only one day of paid leave per year rather than the 15 days of paid sick leave unions wanted.[2][17] The deal still needed to be ratified by rank-and-file members of the unions, however no strike could take place for several weeks regardless of the outcomes of ratification votes.[2]

    Congressional intervention

    In September 2022, U.S. Senators Richard Burr and Roger Wicker introduced a bill that would have required labor unions to agree to the terms proposed by the Presidential Emergency Board, to prevent a strike.[18] It was blocked by Senator Bernie Sanders, who noted that freight rail workers receive a “grand total of zero sick days” while railroad companies made significant profits.[19] In the House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, “We’d rather see negotiations prevail so there’s no need for any actions from Congress.”[16]

    In late November, after some unions had rejected the agreement, Biden asked Congress to pass the agreement into law. On November 30, the House of Representatives passed the existing tentative agreement along with an amended version that would require railroad employers to ensure 7 days paid sick leave.[20] On December 1, the Senate passed the tentative agreement with only 1 day of sick leave.[21] President Joe Biden signed the legislation into law on December 2.[4] The Biden administration’s intervention in the dispute was condemned by over 500 labor historians in an open letter to Joe Biden and Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh.[22]

    nonSteam games, pirated games, maybe your setup or you yourself needs different settings for whatever reason, console emulation, and more

    from the above link:

    It is based on Valve’s version of WINE (Proton) and its modifications (Proton GE). It includes a set of scripts combined with wine-proton itself, a Steam Runtime Sniper container with the addition of ported versions of MANGOHUD (displaying useful information in the game window: FPS, FrameTime, CPU, GPU, etc.) and vkBasalt (improving graphics in games, very good in conjunction with FSR, DLSS) + many already configured optimizations for maximum performance.

    One-click automatic installation (on the AUTO-install tab) of popular launchers such as: WGC, Epic Games, BattleNET, Origin, EVE Online, RockStar, Ubisoft connect, League of Legends and many others has been implemented.

    For console game lovers, there are many console emulators available (under the EMULATORS tab): PPSSPP, Citra, Cemu, ePSXe, MAME and many more…

    because English users and all other language users use it as well to play games

    Cyberpunk 2077 is what am currently playing using this launcher because it is the only one that works and allows all the settings we prefer such as raytracing on top of good consistent fps

    if you notice my other post on here was AdaptiveCPP which is also what use with portproton to get good fps

    talking Cyberpunk with raytracing and medium settings on 1080p with an Intel arc A750 8GB 70+/- fps

    Linux Gaming works but only with a big toolbox packed with good tools

    most modern browsers should have a translate button readily available

    my bad did not notice the link failed to attach fixed it

    to put this simply you are able to use the libraries from all the GPU vendors and it works really well

    the intel arc cards for example have garbage software but use Nvidia DLSS and Cuda on that bitch and watch it fly with raytracing included

    getting a post together and will post it here on Linux Gaming in the next week or so that will in detail get you up and running with a gaming computer that utilizes AdaptiveCPP
