Exposed: How Israeli Spies Control Your VPN
  • There is a lot of shady intelligence coming from Israel, there’s enough evidence. But this news outlet isn’t very credible to me. So to avoid ending up in a misinformation rabbit hole, I’m going to agree with @floofloof@lemmy.ca here. Proceed with caution.

  • Let's discuss the 3ds family?
  • Bought a New 2DS XL for my oldest son when he turned 9. Bought a second one for myself not long after. They were cheap secondhand, so it was a quick decision. I love the games and I used to play on my commute. Now it is mostly played on by my youngest. We’ve got a shit load of games, most also bought secondhand. And they still play on them anytime we go for a long drive! It is definitely the best system I’ve owned. Massive bang for buck.

  • How do you deal with suicidal thoughts?
  • What an insightful comment. This kind of distinction between what is really going on, can help people suffering like OP.

    @noctisatrae@beehaw.org, the suicidal thoughts are an indication you’re feeling stuck. Know there are always options, even if you don’t see them right now or are sure there aren’t any. Talk to people, like you’ve done here, and eventually you’ll find a new direction. Bringing it up here already is a great step, I’m impressed you’ve done that.

  • Thinking about the direction of Beehaw
  • This is more of an internal conversation, so I can totally see why this topic coming up yet again is a bit much for the rest of the fediverse. I have to admit, reading your comment made laugh though, thanks for that.

  • Thinking about the direction of Beehaw
  • The behavioral expectations of Beehaw are a lot like those of tildes.net, where I’m also a member. Although I thoroughly enjoy the conversations there, I also long for other types of content, content available in the fediverse. And Beehaw is, for me, the perfect place to access that content. Beehaw has a great community that generates good content and conversations, but it also allows me to browse other stuff from ‘all’ and interact with different people. I enjoy reading what other people think, even if they have a way of communicating that doesn’t jive all that well with the rest of Beehaw.

    What I can imagine is that moderating Beehaw within the context of the fediverse is a pain in the ass. The burden on the admin and moderator team must be a lot bigger than if Beehaw was on its own.

  • GM Says It's Dropping Apple CarPlay And Android Auto Because They're Unsafe
  • I know all that, the point is modern infotainments do way more than just play music. Look, I wish it was different, but most cars built today have controls in the infotainment that you can’t have anywhere else. Like very specific settings for interior and exterior lighting, consumption metrics, creature comforts, just to name a few. That’s not a simple case of getting the wires correctly installed like it was before. And good luck finding just the right car with a dumb head unit, even simple cars today are fitted with this stuff.

  • GM Says It's Dropping Apple CarPlay And Android Auto Because They're Unsafe
  • I highly doubt an aftermarket unit will work. Today, most units are integrated into the entire car system. Removing the unit from my car would mean losing access to a lot of functionality. I doubt the car would even accept a 3rd party unit. And this is not a Tesla.

  • I switched to Orion browser two weeks ago and it’s really good. Haven’t seen any ads on YouTube anymore, no ads on other sites either. I’ve made it my default browser. Only thing that doesn’t work for me is the consent-o-matic.

  • Work stress rant: I cant fake it and I'm terrified I wont make it.
  • I've been meaning to create an account on Beehaw, your post was the final push I needed.

    I'm a senior dev, also with 15 years under my belt. It may help with gauging what to do with my 2 cents.

    You've been put in an impossible position by the firm you are working for. This is definitely not a "fake it till you make it" situation, this is a quick way to burnout. Please listen to the great feedback in this thread: this is not your fault, you're actually doing a great job by keeping your head above water. But this is not the way to start your career. What you need is an appropriate role where you can grow. This includes mentoring and space for you to make mistakes. I personally don't think you'll find that at a consulting firm. They are notorious for dropping their employees in jobs that do not match, counting on you to fix it or cash the checks until the client to drops you. Very few people will dust off and continue, I know I couldn't.

    You deserve better. You deserve a place where you can be open about your abilities. You deserve a place where people have you back, this is very important. Places where this culture exists are definitely around. Your best bet to find this is at companies that have their own software product, they usually will want to invest in their employees' skills and know how to get you to a next level.

    Good luck man. It'll be a little rough before it gets better, but you've got this! Keep us updated.
