New from 404 Media: time off at Amazon is so precious that warehouse workers are using bots to automatically and instantly claim vacation slots. Multiple tools available on Github for this https://www.404media.co/amazon-workers-use-bots-to-snatch-fiercely-competitive-time-off/

Amazon warehouse workers are using bots to automatically and instantly claim precious time off slots before their coworkers, according to multiple Reddit posts by Amazon workers and Github pages for two of these bots viewed by 404 Media.

The Amazon workers are trying to claim voluntary time off, or VTO. VTO is separate from Amazon’s other version of time off of work, known as unpaid time or UPT, which is what makes it so valuable. Workers have a set amount of UPT, which they can use at their own discretion—but once it runs out, they can be disciplined or even lose their jobs. UPT is precious to workers, and VTO does not deduct from UPT reserves.

First ever outdoor performance with *Das kleine Automatisierungstheater* at #CCCamp23! Thanks to everyone who came and cheered the automated puppets & bots and to Artes Mobiles for hosting the space!

I'll have to reconsider my building materials for future automated theaters if outdoor performances become more regular though, the constant rain radar checking and covering it was stressful. But in the end all went well and Kasperle, the Princess and @wohnungsbot are safely on their way home.

Finally! The @wohnungsbot 1.7 is released, fixing some long outstanding issues and should now work again as expected.
Grab it here https://wohnungsbot.de/#downloads (but it should auto-update on Linux & Windows).
