Me when I have a 30 min meeting in the middle of the day where I am the organizer and need to lead the discussion.

There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.

PrivacyTools.io, which had a nasty takeover and started selling ad space.

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the heads up.

Not really tools, but the most effective way really is to do it for them. Most people who don’t really care whether an app they use is open source or not won’t care about what you say either, no matter how much you try to explain. My wife didn’t really care about using linux, but when I actually installed it on a spare laptop and let her use it, she adapted just fine. I installed Firefox Focus on her phone and now she uses it for quick browsing. Same with Signal for my family. I asked my brother to install it on our parents’ phones and now they use it for all family group chats.

I actually know someone like this. He’s been in software engineering since the early 2000. I recently saw a post from him that he’s now a firefighter recruit.

Agree with all your points. If I had a penny for every time lift-and-shift is mentioned when migrating to cloud from on-prem…

There was one time I was traveling and had to reset one of my passwords. It sent a verification code via email but my email provider wouldn’t let me login because I was in a different country I’ve never been to before. So it was a train of recovery processes to reser my password on a single account.

Even the site is offline. Anyone else getting a blank page?

Photopea. There will barely be a learning curve because it’s designed to be exactly like photoshop.

To be fair, we sometimes have to look through multiple related documentation and tickets to make sure the change was actually reviewed and approved by the necessary teams (network, security, etc.). We also have an SLA for PR reviews/approvals and some people have a habit of sending it out for approval at the last minute of the change window.

TIL anti-static wristbands are a thing. I need get me one of those.

The most common thing I see is people confusing usb-c with thunderbolt, and using the former on docks and expecting it to provide power and transmit data.

I’m on IOS and use Thunder, but I know it’s cross platform so it should be available in Android as well. Why Thunder? Because it doesn’t look like another Apollo clone, which a lot of lemmy apps seem to try to emulate.

I remember reading a comment somewhere that said it’s hard to explain the difference between children and teenagers (in this context) without sounding like a creep. Him being very adamant in pointing out the distinction is a prime example of that.

This is cool! Thanks for the suggestion.

Not sharing your code for job security
