I know I'm preaching to the choir but for the people interviewing for their first software gig

First software gig? In this market, take whatever to get experience imo.

But that second/third/etc job? Culture, then salary, then everything else. Last interview I went to bragged about giving everyone brand new sneakers yet pay $25k less than average.

I actually liked the guy during that era. He was a goofy dude who just did weird stuff while giving our weird bro energy.

As a web developer, should be okay. Still risks involved.

I don't have a iOS device. Can you get Firefox and run adblockers and privacy software? If so, do it.

If you want additional protection:

Pi-hole at the router level.

I work at a web hosting company and we'd get requests from "da guberment". They were usually warrants and asking us to transfer data.

Never ever did they go, "Keep that racist white power pushing for violence website up and available to the public". Without legal action, a govt can't demand a private company what to do.

Not saying they haven't tried, but we have the lawyers give us the direction to take.

How likely are you to recommend Lemmy to a friend or colleague? Give a score from 1 to 10.

Texas Asks People to Avoid Using Their Cars ( www.newsweek.com )

"Atmospheric conditions are expected to be favorable for producing high levels of ozone pollution in the Houston, Galveston, and surrounding areas on Friday," the alert posted by the National Weather Service (NWS) said. "You can help prevent ozone pollution by sharing a ride, walking, riding a bicycle, taking your lunch to work,...

Currently reading Nobodys Normal by anthropologist Roy Richard Grinker.

It's a hard read as I'm constantly googling how he did his research. But I do absolutely agree with his theory that "normal" assumes there's a baseline of what that looks like. And that data is impossible to get at the current time, only when you look back on it.

For example, we have data to identify what normal can look like in 1920 based on averages. But it'll be pretty racist and not what people want to hear, and it's also missing a lot like accurate health records and the huge percentage of people who were misdiagnosed or undocumented.

Overall, I agree. There is no normal.

Actually weird question that Ive been puzzling.

You know those anime girls who try to be obnoxiously cute, where they raise their voice to a high pitch? Then off screen, they're back to their regular tone?

For people with high pitched voices... Is that a choice?

I found it super uncomfortable to answer that in high school.

Then in my 20s, I'd go, "Yeah haha I guess I do."

And now my 30s, "I jag off twice a day. Three times on a good day!"

And every time, id get the same kinda approved nod.

Either masturbation has become normalized or I just give jerk off vibes.

You know how when you think about breathing, you start to "think" about breathing? How it moves in and out of the body? And then you learn all other weird things about breathing?

Do you really want to understand ball science? To understand where things move and go around and flex?

Why I'm trying to say is sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Google was apprised of thousands of minor incidents between 2013 and 2019 that affected user privacy. ( www.spiceworks.com )

404 Media noted that Google accidentally collected childrens’ voice data through the Gboard microphone, leaked carpool users’ trips and home addresses (Waze), collected license plate info from Street View, and made YouTube recommendations derived from deleted watch history....

In 2020 (?) joined that Google One program where the promise was you pay a monthly fee and every two years, you get a new Pixel phone "for free". Not the latest, but last gens model. It looked really good on paper.

I'm cheap. I did the math and it cost less to do this than buy used from Swappa. And knowing Google's awful track record for customer service and killing products, I joined fully aware to keep my expectations low.

After 2 years, I was eligible for an upgrade. And the program changed. It was no longer a monthly fee, but pay $500 for a new phone. And worse, that Google phone died two months after the warranty ended. Google wanted to charge me $300 to repair the phone.

If you buy anything Google, keep your expectations down. Like really down.

I feel the same way as the poster. I was expecting acrobatic movement like in 64. But so many of platforming puzzle revolved around the FLUDD. Kinda glad Galaxy and Odyssey returned to more about Mario himself.

Potatos_are_not_friends OP ,

That made my eyebrows want to climb above my face.

Potatos_are_not_friends OP ,

I went to Japan earlier this year.

On one end, I was extremely amazed at how far my money went.

On the other end, watching shitty tourists treat Japan like a playground was disheartening.

Is it the wording? They said "Arabic".

I don't know anything about building, China, mosques, etc. I'm just saying words.

Story of my entire programming life.

Commuter baffled after being interrogated by police for riding his e-bike at night: 'They then tried to find more reasons to confiscate my bike' ( www.thecooldown.com )

One Redditor shared their confusing and frustrating story of being stopped by local police while riding an e-bike.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Police officers don't need to know the laws unfortunately. And depending on how much melanin you have determines if you should explain or if youre better off just saying "yes sir can I go".

We watched a show where there was a concept called a Dead man's switch, and my wife asked me if I would ever do something similar, but include all my passwords, for everything.

"Absolutely not." I told her.

No one can know about my smut logins.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Haha I remember having to help a school upgrade to Windows 7. Took a year just to get the approval, then another year to get the budget and keys.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Gonna need proof of this.

Nearly everyone I met was rocking iPhones. It was kinda frustrating as a android user.

When I found a loophole for cheap Wendy's food, I absolutely abused it a dozen times as a poor college student. It involves receipts and going to different Wendy's.

The laundromats in my area are run by immigrants and their family. So it was common to see like a 9-yo helping around.

NGL I apply to places where I use the software. But it's not one thing, it's a dozen things I would fix.

I actually never successfully got the job. Probably because during the interview, I come off like a rambling psychopath pointing out extremely specific things.

Potatos_are_not_friends OP ,

Shame. The game looked great. But the beta state and bugs kept me from committing.

Not certain how the company plans to fix all of that with a smaller staff.

Late-90s, early-2000s McDonald's was peak.

Dollar menu. Pokemon toys. Some has N64 play areas.

I was shocked to see this post. I honestly thought it was dead after 2015.

Sorry for your loss.

They will now be part of the boomers being fools community.

My wife's parents went crazy lead brained. They went pure antivaxxer and said if we don't want our kids to have grandparents, then get vaccinated. We lolled and said, "Bye".

It's been four years now.

They now pretend like they didn't say that every few months by sending us gifts and cards, that we promptly give away to charity.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

That comes off as a personal preference, which depending on the type of person, will walk all over you.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

This isn't a good idea. This is just burying the issue rather than confronting it.

They will bring it up later.

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

A firm statement is fine in my opinion.

"It sounds like a lot but we need to focus on the work and this isn't something that's helping."

If it continues, a direct message of "Not my thing. I really don't have a dog in this race."

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Did not know that!

Came here to share air fryers.

I hate kitchen gadgets. Even toasters.

But I like this!

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

Sometimes its a gift. My bread maker was a gift, and it brings me a lot of value, but I prob won't pay for it.

Other times it's something pushed on you for fun. My wife made me buy a thermostat gun and now I love it. I test it on the kids too for fun.
