My personal top 3:
- insurance
- subscriptions
- Google and similar data hungry companies (while not a financial scam but moreso a privacy scam, companies like Google and Meta profiteering on our personal data without our knowledge or awareness)
My personal top 3:
As a manager, I can confirm that productivity drops in the office (even my own). I've got team members that choose to go to the office (moreso than me). I encourage them to work however they prefer, and want. You can work anywhere around the world however you wish, including at some nice beach, as long as it doesn't affect the project.
Canadian governmental entities (at all levels) aren't known for their innovative thinking. Throughout the pandemic, regardless of your position on vaccines, the main fact that it was a group of volunteers in a discord channel that were responsible for the information shows the archaic state of digital communication in Canada. Frankly embarrassing by global comparison.
Linus has a track record and proven history of doing/saying stupid shit. I think in this case, he recognizes that he's just shit at his job and wants help. He most likely didn't expect the Billet issue (no way he would have known Steve would have released a vid) and if he knew about Madison coming out, he'd have tried to prevent that sooner. Hiring a CEO won't fix the Madison problem, as that event had already occurred.
In what world are "unlimited" and "all you can eat" synonymous with "too far"?
"Too far" implies a definite limit, which is the antonym of unlimited and all you can eat, regardless of the business's ability to sustain it. If there is a limit, don't advertise it as unlimited or all you can eat that's false advertisement.
The irony is that it is on brand for them to be off brand
I've seen a number of communities that are otherwise dead without Reddit reposts, and being the most subscribed community for a given topic with the latest post being months ago is definitely not going to attract new users.
It's either don't repost, and new users won't join because of dead community, or repost and have some activity, and maybe new users will join. With dead communities, new users won't magically join, and new content won't magically get created.
One such example was the bcpcsalescanada community, which was revived due to reposts.
I just roll with all 3 🤷
Then why advertise it as "unlimited" or "all you can eat"? That's false advertisement.
As a manager, I empower my team to work remotely as much as possible 🤷
I recently disabled history after getting annoyed about getting bombarded with recommended videos for something I only needed to watch once (e.g. a recipe, or instructions on how to repair something).
Now my YT homepage is literally stuck with the same videos, even the ones I've already watched. Doesn't matter how many times I refresh.
YouTube recommendation algorithm is extremely rudimentary, it's shocking. I really wished that they gave us the ability to tune the recommendation model, or some sort of include exclude filtering.
What? How? The user is simply taking advantage of what is being offered
As a manager who WFH, if managers are ineffective at their job, it's either that they suck, or their org structure causes them to suck.
If upper management wants a manager to manage 30 people, of course they will suck.
Keep the team to 8 max so the manager can actually do some hands on technical work as well.
I found Lemmy to be better for my mental health. I recently visited Reddit again to follow on a heated topic since Reddit has more info and news, and found my anxiety levels skyrocket due to the toxicity of comments.
While Lemmy has less engagement than Reddit, that also leads to a more level-headed community.
That, and with new Lemmy apps and experiences being developed constantly, I'm liking it here a lot.
Then you know full well that just because they shouldn't take all the crab legs doesn't mean they don't/won't take them all. If I go for crab legs and none are available, I'll blame Mandarin and give them a crappy review. People will be people. Can't blame them.
It's a vulnerability that affects AMD CPUs that can potentially lead to unintentional/malicious data leak.

Data leak? In the security field, they categorize it as "information disclosure"... But it doesn't have the same level of gravitas to it
That is until the occasional apocalyptic events (assimilated Earth in First Contact), or the upcoming Dominion War..
The root of the issue was identified by a third party repair shop, narrowing down to two capacitors that were providing the wrong voltage, preventing the MacBook Air to boot up.
While I agree that a repair shop technician is certainly more technically skilled and trained to find those issues than an apple genius bar associate, it is up to Apple to ensure that they equip their associates with the right tools and processes to identify the root cause prior to providing a quote, and even more so to inform the customer prior to performing the work order, or charging the customer.
Coincidentally, I just came back from a battery swap of my MacBook, and in my experience, there was confirmation at every step of the way before proceeding, even down to email receipts, to ensure that I understand the problem, and approve the work order. In this lady's case, someone fucked up big time.
They go by Vaccine Hunters. I don't think they are active anymore but you can find their history here: https://vaccinehunters.ca/about
You're referring to Mandarin Buffet aren't you
Carries the same weight as "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly". It's the fault of those little green men in kerbal space program.
Been doing so over and over. The problem is that the recommendation model is pretty basic. You start watching a new channel or new topics, your recos start being mostly about topics related to the new channel/topics.
If I'm subbed to 200 channels, rarely do I get recos from channels I've subbed to early on. As a dev, I would love for the ability to tune what gets shown on the home page.
What says about them is market performance. Year over year growth for the past 3 years, 60th in top ecommerce sites for electronic-related domain.

We can judge all we want by their approach, but their performance numbers don't reflect your theory. Perhaps you're not their target demographic, and that's ok.
I'm not sure I agree.. Or more precisely, it depends. !bapcsalescanada@lemmy.ca is an example of a community where there is value in reposting content from Reddit over, where the value is getting the coverage of deals. On Reddit, a small majority of users actively seek and share deals. If those users don't move to Lemmy, that community is dead, period. No amount of enticement will introduce new content.
The secondary value now is that, previously, many users had to go to Reddit for that content, because that content isn't available on Lemmy. Reposting isn't just to kick-start user engagement, but is also a retention tool. Users don't need to go to Reddit to fetch that info anymore. I know that was the case for me.
I understand the consequence of Lemmy being a mirror of Reddit. And yes, over reposting is detrimental. This is where reposts need to be strategically applied where it makes sense.
Ideally you don't want a blood transfusion. But in specific circumstances, a blood transfusion kick-starts the healing/growth process.
I'm not in the US, but one of the issues I have with medical insurance is that, say you need medication, the doctor will provide you with a prescription, requiring a specific brand due to the efficacy compared to other brands. The insurance providers would reject claims for the prescribed brand, and suggest an inferior brand that doctors warned to avoid.
This happened to my older folks, and is baffling why insurances feel the need to override a doctor's recommendations.
Perhaps, but this is what was advised by the doctor, so I don't know
I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. It's much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.
As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession (my current MacBook is approaching 10 years), so while I wouldn't say I agree with "more people need to leave it", I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise). Which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford and are in the market for).
I wish the world was as utopian as you described. Unfortunately, and I'm sorry to say, that's an extremely naive world view you hold. I hope you won't be taken advantage of by people with less good intentions.
I had literally just set this up on my truenas instance yesterday (even though I've been using ZeroTier for some time). The key thing to recognize is that truenas whipes out any modifications to its system after a reboot, hence the need for this script.

I've heard great things about tailscale, but just have had an opportunity to try it.
How do you feel about Karen's Diner? Their whole shtick is to be rude and unprofessional to customers. Same goes for dbrand. It is their brand to be unprofessional.
I think you replied to the right post (mine) but I didn't downvote you.
Information disclosure doesn't necessarily imply it's intentional or unintentional, just that information was disclosed. But in a sense I do agree somewhat with that you said, only that WHO the person who developed the API receives that message from makes a huge difference. The IT security team coming to you and says "information disclosure" is scarier than a team mate
Thanks for the plexamp reco! I didn't realize there was a music app by Plex.
A few times during my childhood. The thing I hated the most was the lingering smell of the gaseous anesthetic. In subsequent surgical procedures, I requested an ivy approach to the delivery of the anesthetic.
Do you not have multiple confluence space admins to avoid specifically this type of problem?
What? At the time of this comment, one comment is a link to piped YouTube, one comment about the dispersible nature of Adobe products, and another about the difficulty of electronics repair... Where are these Apple cult members or are you really just hallucinating?
I'm far from a cheap tipper, but the way tipping culture has evolved in North America is ridiculous.
