The gall of some managers. They’re going to lose that person anyway - might as well be on good terms where the potential of working together in the future is still a possibility.

Damn you, I snorted a bit in public.

Someone made a filter for that and it works well. It’s in one of the posts that talked about YouTube doing that (I think the one in the Technology sub).

I was wondering the same. Thought it was something on my end.

Are multiplayer titles with anti cheat (Call of Duty, Valorant, etc) able to be played yet? It’s the only thing holding me back.

I just can’t fathom doing that even if it was perfectly acceptable. I hope these are jobs people don’t give a shit about or they have opportunities for something better. I don’t (currently), so if things went south, which for me they tend to, I would be sitting here in a very bad state.

Yep, right now, using a search engine with Reddit in the query is still the best option to find an answer to something. Maybe Lemmy fits that in time, but until then, Reddit it is.

I was, but they stopped appearing once I completely cleared browsing history and cookies. I also did another purge and update for good measure.

The only pain in the ass was that I ended up changing the username of some of my accounts but forgot to update them in my account manager, so it took a bit to find and log into them. But that was completely on me and won’t happen if you’re not being an idiot like I was.

Well, looks like it may be time to try and see what Linux is all about. Any good recommendations for a relatively Out of the Box experience?

I mostly just browse the web and play games (both single player and multiplayer, mostly AAA but also the occasional indie). On occasion, I also like to do some video editing in Davinci Resolve.

Never really thought about it. I suppose I would prefer a woman to do it, but wouldn’t necessarily mind if a man did it IF I wasn’t completely creeped out that they did something purposeful and unnecessary to me while I was knocked out.

Right now, my Windows 10 installation is pretty bloatless and is easily revertable when an update wants to change things. However I’m definitely looking for a more mainstream Linux solution because I know these times won’t last.

Exactly, loyalty to a corporation is so stupid. Buy what works best for you in the moment.

If the company is still doing that when you need your next item, great. But if there is something better with a competitor and it’s not difficult to replace, it’s time to move on.

It’s going to take a seemless to register platform that offers comparable features to Twitter and then massive accounts switching over and actually leaving Twitter behind.

Right now Threads seems to be the closest, but they lack the feature set Twitter has like search and hashtags so the big accounts only tried it out before running back to what worked for them. Not to mention they don’t have a usable web page for the platform either which alienates a lot of desktop users.

If Threads adds those things in, I fully believe more of the bigger accounts will transition over with their following and it’ll snowball to become a massive platform. Whether it stays a good site remains to be seen, it is Meta after all.

The closest is Kenya, which starts with a “K” sound, but is actually spelled with a “K” sound."

Not going to lie, that’s pretty disturbing. This search engine is used by millions (maybe billions?) and they’re providing false information to all those people. That’s scary.

TikTok is definitely hitting for certain demographics, but YouTube is still king in the long form department and I don’t see that changing unless they completely alienate their watchers and creators or someone comes along and offers significantly more money (to creators).

It’s not? I was thinking it would be second to Chrome only. No way Edge is leading it, right?

Seven hour day with an hour and fifteen minute lunch. What kind of magic is this? What’s the catch?

Damn it. Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Thanks for that. Before I go ahead with it, just wondering if there will be a Dev version similar to the way you did it with Sync for Reddit that has beta updates baked in or will this be that version.

The ads through me for a sec, but then I realized this wasn’t the Dev or Pro version.

I’ll end up subscribing at some point, but I do wish there was a one time option like last time. Not really interested in the cloud backups and all that, just the ad free experience.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Looks like there wil be a one time option at some point in addition to a version with no ads. Looking forward to it.
