In a comment you mentioned you're the team lead. Maybe you already are, but just in case: stop thinking about it in terms of the individual personal relationship and start thinking about it in terms of the team dynamic. It's unlikely this only affects you, so even if their individual work performance is fine, does their behavior affect other people's performance or happiness at work? If it's affecting others negatively it's your responsibility to protect them and their work output, even if that means finding a new team for this person or documenting a path to letting them go altogether.

I don't envy you. Good luck.

Tell that to the dashboards that track my in-office days.

There was a study done on this kind of mentality. Researches invited pairs of players and before each game flipped a coin to designate one player rich and the other poor. The rich player was then given more money and an easier set of rules. At the end of the game they interviewed the player that inevitably won, and in all cases the players reported that they won because of key decisions they made while playing. Not one mentioned they got lucky with the coin flip.

Mission accomplished

No. And in this case it was probably an accountant or other operations worker in the company's treasury management department. Almost certainly not a finance bro.

Agreed, totally manufactured. Not only do I not see or hear genuine support, but in its place is always this same question about why the hype. And it's a good question because there isn't any that isn't silicone.

I like where your head is at, but I also know DeSantis would "attack" copyright law by, like, allowing a gas company to buy Disney properties, and nothing else.

Damn dude, self compiling with your own OTAs is rad as hell. Kudos to you for getting and keeping that running.

Drink of choice? Water. Preferably from a hose or dirty puddle, in that order.

Was full time remote for eight years until this week when I got the dreaded email: "Your weekly in office average is below the company's expectation." So now I'm back 3 days a week.

It's not bad, but it's stupid. My whole team is on the opposite coast so I commute to sit in a mostly empty office and be on the phone all day.

That's for GOOD Meat, right? I thought I read in UPSIDE's materials that they've completely eliminated animal components from their process.

The rate of change and severity is much higher now: https://xkcd.com/1732/

Bailey’s announcement also follows an Associated Press investigation that found several deputies who were involved with the episode were also linked to at least four violent encounters with Black men since 2019 that left two dead and another with lasting injuries.

And the punishment is losing their job in one singular jurisdiction.

There's something interesting in here about the persistence of legacy systems that I can't quite put my finger on. Rest assured I will be consumed by the thought for the remainder of the day.

I don't know that there's actual appeal outside of the fact that the format seems to be optimized to give our lizard brains the quick hit. There isn't anything inherently wrong with divided attention - we don't think it's bad when we're having a conversation while watching fish in a pond, for example - but I think Vine, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube Shorts et al are the result of years of data corporations honing in on capitalizing our attention.

Now meow for me.

Only critical infrastructure at legacy institutions and government.

A fellow homosapien! Welcome to the party! It's pretty nice around here and I hope you enjoy it.

Rad! What's the new job? If you don't mind sharing publicly that is.

On Kbin I search for this: @trendingcommunities @ feddit.nl (no spaces)

And subscribe to the community/magazine in the search results.

For you it's probably available at: Lemmy.world/c/trendingcommunities

Greetings from Oakland! Hope you kick ass!

My guess is to get better pricing at their bank for the ACH they're probably already using and reduce the CC network fees they're paying. Just a guess though.

This is obviously a sign you need to be medicated

Jesus christ that is bleak. Any idea what the public reasoning was for allowing Century to block your local utility, or if they even fucking attempted a public reason?

For whatever it's worth I don't see anything Meta or Facebook related on my Pixel 4 running Android 13.

Only 40? I must've not seen those episodes, or any of the others which I guess explains my surprise.

  1. Absolutely not. I just know eventually I'd get stuck on pause and slowly lose my mind over eternity.

  2. The fear of death is important to me. It helps keep me degenerate adjacent.

  3. Too noticable. Once the kids in your middle school figure it out they'll use you as a test dummy and that would only get worse with time.

  4. I'm online too much as it is.

  5. Slow, steady progress as you get older but without the hassle of having to level up manually? Perfect.

The tide will destroy my sandcastle and it’ll be forgotten, but it can’t take that I did it anyways.

I love this so much.

My brain doesn't know how to parse this. BRB with more mustard.

Joke's on her; I planned this THE WHOLE TIME.

And if you don't meet the minimum requirement it's going on your permanent record!

You can't control your feet and they always shapeshift to a size that makes your shoes too tight.

Also true, but only on mainframes. Otherwise it's 3.1 and REXX.

I like this. It's be cool if a lot of the community came together to be interested in and ask questions about what a regular somebody does and thinks and feels in their normal day. A mom. A bank teller. A local radio producer. I'd get into that.

Self-hosting projects! Excited to dig more into docker and portainer. Today was a database, knowledgebase, and dashboard. Tomorrow who the fuck knows but I'm psyched.

I am supremely glad you're on the Fediverse talking about these things in such an honest and eloquent way. Thank you, and followed.

I was digging into this question and only found that it might be leftovers of whatever they feed the cells (which also no longer includes anything from live or harvested animals, which is cool). CYA covers that and so much more so I think you're right.
