What really sucks is my local politicians are very outwardly partisan, even though the positions are supposed to be nonpartisan. The surprising thing is that there are more liberalish residents than I expected. Unfortunately it's just not enough to change what we get.

acetanilide ,

Yes, but when we do it it's for the greater good. Not the same.

acetanilide ,

Sarcasm actually

Also apologies for posting it twice, it wasn't that funny

acetanilide ,

It's relatively common, unless you work for a typical cash pay job (usually labor jobs, like construction)

acetanilide ,

I read one which said that it's common for dogs not to poop for a few years

I can't imagine where it would learn that from

acetanilide ,

So... it's an ad

I just need to make the jump to a different OS already

Visa Adds New Way To Share Customer Shopping Data With Retailers (www.businesswire.com)

Visa is rolling out new technology that will allow the payments giant to share more information about customers' preferences [non-paywalled source] based on their shopping history with retailers as it seeks to remain a top player in the competitive e-commerce space. From a report:...

acetanilide ,

Agreed, it's unfortunate that some people rely on it for work.

Personally I only go on there unintentionally when I don't look at the link I am clicking on beforehand

acetanilide ,

Yeah I've only done it on government websites because I had to

acetanilide ,

Did they even tell her about alcohol? I didn't see it in there at all

How do I do the backup for Aegis? I looked at it and it's set up but then at the bottom it says no backups have been made 🤔

acetanilide ,

Thanks!

acetanilide ,

I used to do surveys as a CEO of a megacorp making lots of money

Turns out they give more money to you if you're already rich...(probably because rich people don't really do that stuff so they want more of their data)

  • that all high school kids (in my area) take before graduating (to give recruiters more ammo when they harass speak with the kids during gym class a few months later)

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

acetanilide ,

I turned it off a long time ago when it started replacing entire sentences. So annoying!!

I still have the suggestions on but I might turn that off too because it keeps suggesting words in other languages even though I'm on the English keyboard and don't know much in any other language (and the only other keyboard I have is the Spanish one).

Also the dictionary doesn't have a shit ton of common words in it for some reason, so if I can't think of the proper spelling I have to look it up anyway. Which is also annoying because search engines suck and I never have a hard copy handy.

acetanilide ,

I know it's hard. Which is why I went off grid for a week or two and my partner set it up for me.

acetanilide ,

They want you to try the updated fiber optic connection

acetanilide ,

Not diminishing how shitty this is

But where does it say NASA is blocked?

acetanilide ,

Idk how I feel about this whole thing. We had the bundle for a while and then they added another standalone Hulu subscription on top. And tried to convince us that's what we wanted/asked for.

I don't even want to pay for one subscription, let alone twice for the same one.

acetanilide ,

I have a Brother but I think I must have bought a lemon. It prints SO SLOWLY (like it takes long pauses after every page). And it constantly loses connection with our devices. :(

Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

acetanilide ,

I got a job from it once.

It was the worst experience of my life. I quit after a few weeks.

acetanilide ,

I had one until about 10 years ago. I was moving and planning to take it with me, but I dropped it on the way to the truck. So it went in the dumpster.

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

acetanilide ,

So for me, it shows up in my settings but netguard does not show it. Did i do something wrong setting up netguard?

Also, does anyone know if my carrier will get mad if i remove it? I do technically owe money on my phone (they give me a credit each month so i dont have to pay it)

🤔

acetanilide ,

Thanks! I missed the settings somehow.

acetanilide ,

Thanks for sharing this OP. I turned on the notifications for my browser, and when I went on FB (thru firefox, not app) one of the connection notifications was to a website I went on once a few weeks or even a month ago. I knew it was creepy but damn.

I do have ublock origin but obviously that's not enough. I wish i could get rid of FB but there's 2 things i haven't been able to replicate elsewhere.

I'm just flabbergasted but wanted to say thanks.

Using AI to spot edible mushrooms could kill you | AI tools are good for some things, but don’t trust your health to apps that make frequent mistakes (wapo.st)

In particular, know how to identify the common and deadly species (eg: much of the genus Amanita) yourself, and get multiple trustworthy field guides for your part of the world.

acetanilide ,

Probably equally as confident as the people commenting in Facebook groups

Although at least when asking in a group like that you will probably get a bunch of different answers, which should sow some doubt, as opposed to only getting one answer

acetanilide ,

Honestly it kind of makes me wonder who I am trusting to serve me safe mushrooms.

I guess I always assume food I get from a store (or restaurant) is safe (unless it's expired or has other obvious issues). And like, most foods have brand recognition of some sort (which may or may not mean anything). But I couldn't tell you a single company that harvests and sells mushrooms. I mean the blue container makes me feel safe (???) but like...I don't even know if that's a marketing thing or just what every company does.

Anyway now I am going to look all of this up.

acetanilide ,

This is great, thank you

acetanilide OP ,

Awesome. Thank you for the detailed explanation!

acetanilide OP ,

Sweet. This is helpful. Thank you!

acetanilide OP ,

Good ideas. Thank you!

acetanilide OP ,

I like this. I may do that two profiles since it sounds easy to switch between.

acetanilide OP ,

I tried the two profiles and I love it! Still figuring things out but this is going to work well.

acetanilide ,

The whole biography was yikes and somehow got worse with every line
