Wait is the Milky Way Galaxy a dude?

All this time I’ve been inside a man?! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Good. At a company, you get your ass fired if they catch you using non-approved equipment on company infrastructure. It can lead to leaks and infiltration, and lost of revenue.

In the military, that’s people’s lives!

Every time I see this implemented, it always seems like screwing over the end user who is trying to join for the first time. Platforms like reddit and Tumblr benefit from a friction-free sign up system.

Imagine how challenging it is for someone joining Lemmy for the first time and suddenly having to provide trust elements like answering a few questions, or getting someone to vouch for them.

They’ll run away and call Lemmy a walled garden.

It’s reporting activity, not banning people (or bots)

I switched to Linux a few years ago and you are not wrong.

Windows is a nightmare with directory organization.

Saved games can go:

• My Documents/
• My Documents/Games
• My Documents/My Games
• <app>/saved-games

Why don’t you want to vote for the felon rapist who has a history of racist comments and has taken money from corporations and foreign government over the Cop lady?

Still waiting on approval for more resources. It’s not a priority in the company.

I swear we have like 4 runners on a raspberry pi.

Envious. It averages 15-30 mins

Android ecosystem is not so much better.

I’ve been a supporter of web apps. Unfortunately it cuts into app store profits so it’s often shit on.

Sorry those people sound like morons.

Work pays for everything for me. I work at a major tech company with thousands of employees nationwide.

I’m given a top of the line laptop. Im given a credit to buy anything I need to improve my home office. Their tech and purchases are theirs and when I leave, it gets shipped back.

Using personal equipment at your workplace? Triple yikes. If your company does something illegal, your personal equipment gets confiscated by police. If your company’s network gets infected, your personal info like banking/CC gets stolen too.

Yeah I can see it being pretty aggressive. It’s like being punished for something a neighbor did. It would not make them feel good and even push them to give the double middle fingers akimbo to Brazil.

Losing their jobs? Uh what?

My buddy pays $100 for a cell phone service, and gets a new $1000 phone every two years. When I told him he pays $4400 every two years, his jaw dropped.

He first talked about how important it was for him to have wireless while hiking. He hiked ONCE in the past year. And if it’s super important, he can rent a device during that trip.

It’s ridiculous. I buy used $300 phones and pay $10-20 a month.

Imo, the mindset of “X is cheap!” what leads people to end up overspending.

Having worked with marketers, they use the whole “price of a cup of coffee” to convince people to buy services that they don’t need all the time.

I don’t have or need Spotify. Same with a lot of steaming services. I own Netflix stock but I don’t even own a Netflix account. I could afford it but why?

If the replacement for X is Y, sure! Buy the alternative. But honestly I think people should reevaluate what they really need.

Ew. They should expand their skill set to using terminal/powershell.

I’m not knocking on GUIs but I will call out “IT professionals” who ONLY know how to use GUIs.

That reminds me, I got a very threatening email from my college in 2000s about downloading movies and that they traced the IP to my laptop, and I could be paying $10k in fines, have this on my permanent record and/or expelled.

I loled and pirated a lot more safer.

Still waiting for them to follow up with that 20 years later.

Yep!

Tech is absolutely a space where people who break the rules get rewarded. Every tech company I’ve worked at has had a situation where they turned the other cheek on laws. And if they broke it, the fine was just the cost of doing business.

A example at my old job (with fake numbers), they broke laws in some EU countries. It took them like a decade to finally catch up with them. And the fine was like $8 million dollars. But during that law breaking, they made $100mil in sales, while also destroying the competition and solidifying they position in the marketplace, guaranteeing more profits for another decade.

If they followed the law, they wouldn’t be this major player in the industry.

And the job I worked at is one of thousands of companies that think like that.

This one blew me away.

According to NBC News, Hanes missed at least one opportunity to realize that he was being scammed. After he asked for a $12 million loan from a neighbor, Brian Mitchell, his neighbor detected the scam and refused to lend the money.

My limit is like $40.

How do you find those mod reports?

I’ve bought Nothing from this company. Like, nothing. No no nothing. Like zero of nothing. I’ll leave now.
