Why did you switch?

Is there such a thing as a privacy-respecting secret Santa platform?

I’ve been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to...

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I can code and could almost certainly make it quickly. I’m between jobs and was looking for a side project anyway. Tell me how you want it to work and I’ll bang it out in a couple of days. Also gonna need some name ideas.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Are the duels to the death, as was done in the early 90’s? What weapons may they use, or is it just kernel-on-kernel?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Flash drives are horcruxes for Linuxes.

Or the cooked rolls, like deep fried California rolls… Or aburi-- That’s regular sushi (big slab o’ fish on rice) but flame-seared.

I’ll eat the raw kind all day, but the cooked ones are extra nice IMO.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Yeah it’s weird. It’s like

🙂 - Cooked

😀 - Raw

😍 - Raw but cooked tho

Okay but counterpoint:

…

Idk no you’re right

Amazon is blocking promotions of employees who don't comply with its return-to-office policy, leaked documents show (www.businessinsider.com)

Amazon is blocking promotions of employees who don’t comply with its return-to-office policy, leaked documents show::Amazon has updated its promotions policy to enforce its office attendance policy.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I kind of don’t get what’s going on here. I’d think your options would be:

a) Go back to the office, or

b) Stop working there

Like you’d either say to your boss “Look, this work from home thing is really important to me, so I need to look for an opportunity where I can continue to do that,” or your boss would say to you “Look, you keep not showing up to work, so we’re gonna let you go.”

It seems like any period where the company says “Okay, everybody back to the office” and some people say “Oh yeah I’m just gonna ignore that” has got to be pretty short-lived, right?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Ohh, so for many employees, it’s not “return to office” at all-- It’s a euphemism for “start going to the office,” which you didn’t have to do before, because your position was remote? That’s actually much worse, wow-- Especially if you’d have to relocate.

Or I guess maybe it’s more like they expect you not to relocate, through the “unofficial layoffs” lens.

That really sucks. I guess it also has some explanatory power for why they are taking these odd half-measures and tolerating non-compliance-- There are people who don’t even live near an office.

Really sorry that’s happening. I hope you find a company that keeps its promises.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Yes, that is 100% weapons-grade bullshit. Hopefully as a result of all of this, people start insisting on having their remote status written into their contracts, with steep penalties for breaches. Fool me once, shame on you, etc.

Congrats on the new job. I hope things go better for you from now on. At least that AWS experience will provide some nice career capital to make up for your poor treatment.

Try this productivity tip that bosses HATE!

You’re not an idiot-- That distinction isn’t discernable from the name per se, that information is concealed within some relatively obscure typography lore!

Consider this quote from Wikipedia:

Although many people believe that the “Comic” in Comic Sans refers to the lettering common for comic books at the time, font designer Brian Richardson revealed that this was not the case: While speaking on a panel at the 1999 Microsoft DesignTalks conference for designers, he said “We just wanted to make something fun, that people could use to inject a little bit of humor into their documents. It was actually called ‘Funny Sans Serif’ during development, but Pat convinced me last minute to change it to “Comic Sans” so that it would appear higher in the font picker.”

Now, Wikipedia doesn’t tell you that because I just made it up, but it would be totally plausible! Then some of us would be talking about how we thought it was about comic books. So you’re not an idiot, IMO.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Did you omit option 3 for brevity, or because you think it’s not a valid option?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Matrix is pretty good! I use Element. It’s pretty much as usable as anything else I’ve used for similar purposes: Discord, Slack, Messenger, etc.

Hard part is obviously getting people to switch over. But it’s ready for normies!

thanks_shakey_snake ,

When the “Subscribe” button is gray and the “Use for free” button is blue, you know something’s up 🤔

thanks_shakey_snake ,

That’s a really interesting point-- I can see that being the case.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Never had this on Thunder or Connect.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

More accurate translation for 网络孔 would be “network hole,” or even just “net hole,” which would include LAN… So yeah, fair!

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I wonder what I shall use my immeasurable ancient power for?

a) Good

b) Evil

c) Shenanigans

d) Literally nothing

thanks_shakey_snake ,

You should keep working on it! Your story is worth telling even if someone else wants to tell a similar one. There might not be as much overlap as you think.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Imperceptible until about size 14 or so.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Oh trust me, it would feel significantly more uphill if your arch was the Linux kind.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Is good tree.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Err maybe I’m just not seeing it… but nearly 700 out of how many? It makes a big difference if it was 700/1000 vs. 700/10,000.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Tremendous of you, friend! Much more informative article in general, actually-- Also good to know that the layoffs are related to winding down operations in China.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Wait so you would die, or you wouldn’t die? I’m getting mixed messages.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Oh nobody is more surprised than I am that I’m still alive.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Not to mention cases where they demonetize a video/channel and still run ads on it 🙄

Apparently the content isn’t advertiser-friendly enough to pay the creators, but it IS advertiser friendly enough to advertise on.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Odd opportunity to speculatively victim blame, but okay.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

It looks to me like the article is about boards malfunctioning.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Me: “My car malfunctioned while going some undisclosed and possibly reasonable speed. It’s bad that it malfunctioned, and the product would be safer for everyone if it didn’t do that.”

I haven’t seen anything to suggest that the victims were all behaving excessively recklessly, as in your “driving 150mph” example. “Certain limits” is pretty vague, and based on context, sound like they pertain more to hardware constraints than to dangerous behavior.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Sleep is sooo important you guys. And science says exercise is actually really good for you. Make sure to get lots of natural sunlight. Take time for you. Have you considered journaling?

Anyway here’s my website and a link to a book that I wrote (digital only). Thanks for the $8000 and have a blessed day!

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I’m irrationally agitated about Scale and Rotation involving a translation and that this is not called out in the meme.

Like it looks like “translation” is just “nothing happens” and this is going to bother me all day please help.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

R e a l l y?

I believe you, but what do I need to read to understand why that is?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

I think I know what you mean, but is there any point you can rotate around to get that transformation without a translation? Where would that point need to be?

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Oh wow that video is actually really good. I was hoping there would be 100 more like it on that channel, but it looks like kind of a one off.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Best summary of NFTs I’ve seen

thanks_shakey_snake ,

If they have inconvenient expectations, simply tell them to not have those! If your boss pushes back, just tell them in a calm but assertive tone that you tell them how things are gonna go, not the other way around.

I don’t understand why more people who have not been fired don’t do this.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Paywall?

Does anybody else continue to frequent Reddit, albeit without an account?

There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Sometimes, but only in one narrow way: Reddit shows up in search results for me, and sometimes I specifically ask it to.

Like “is product X any good?” gives me garbage marketing and clickbait, so I try “is product X any good? site:reddit.com” and I find some helpful threads, often several years old.

But yeah, not logged in, not interacting.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

They did do management-- They modeled the whole company as individual “staff” communicating with each other: CEO-bot communicates a product direction to the CTO-bot who communicates technical requirements to the developer-bot who asks for a “beautiful user interface” (lol) from the “art designer” (lol).

It’s all super rudimentary and goofy, but management was definitely part of the experiment.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

What does it even mean for a programming language to “satisfy the new user’s demand?” Like when has the user ever cared whether your app is built in Python or Ruby or Common Lisp?

It’s like “what notebook do I need to buy to pass my exams,” or “what kind of car do I need to make sure I get to work on time?”

Yet I’m 100% certain that real human executives have had equivalent conversations.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

It was testing that the code worked, of course :) That was the only place that had human intervention, other than a) providing the initial prompt, and b) providing icons and stuff for the GUI, instead of using generated ones. That was the “get out of jail free” card:

In cases where an interpreter struggles with identifying fine-grained logical issues, the involvement of a human client in software testing becomes optional. CHATDEV enables the human client to provide feedback and suggestions in natural language, similar to a reviewer or tester, using black-box testing or other strategies.

thanks_shakey_snake ,

Or the “hacker” is an automated script (…which is probably pretty stupid, to your point), as the vast majority of attacks are.

If it’s more like a spearphishing-to-impersonate attack-- i.e. A specific individual is being targeted-- then yeah, it’d be important to avoid detection. They wouldn’t do that unless they are extremely bad at their task.

But most attacks are fairly coarse attempts at exploiting a rather glaring security hole against a large number of targets, and their goal might not be what you’d think… Like for example “iterate through this list of 100,000 sites, see if they’re using [some vulnerable framework], and see if they still have the default admin password.” The attacker doesn’t care about being foiled by any one victim, because (for example) their goal is to collect accounts that are:

a) Unmonitored by their owners, and;

b) Able to send and receive emails

Is that scenario more likely than FROM address forgery? No. Is that scenario “not a possibility at all?” Also no.

I think you’re using the word “relevant” in an overly restrictive way. It can be relevant but still not justify the park job.
