  • I hope it crashes straight to zero, along with every other crypto currency, NFT, chia, and whatever other "idle your car engine to solve sudoku puzzles you can trade for drugs" bollocks is floating around.

    Between this and AI we're wasting so, so many resources and killing the planet for nothing.

  • Amazing photo

  • I wish I worked a job where my biggest concern was the difference between starting at 12:30 or 12:35.

  • This is absolutely fascinating to me... That someone would go out of their way to make a public profile for people to view, but then expect to be notified whenever someone views it.

    What's your goal with knowing who looked? Is it so you can return the favour and if it's a profile you find attractive start hitting them up for drinks after work? If it's a more powerful person in your industry, to start weaseling an invite to the exclusive country club they are part of? To see if it's some rube you can sell a box of widgets to? To climb the corporate ladder by mimicking their achievements?

    FYI I just looked at your Lemmy profile. And I reckon I might do it again in a moment. Probably even take a screenshot... for later.

  • You analogy is terrible.

    A better one is handing out business cards everywhere you go but then expecting to know who looked at them and when.

    Are you in marketing? This smacks of tracking links on emails so you can start ringing any customer who clicked on your spam because now they're a "lead".

  • Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.

    Don't really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox's work and then releases it later.

    I want a Google and Apple alternative and I'd rather support it at the top of the chain.

  • You think a public LinkedIn profile - full of information curated and posted by the user with the full intention that it be seen by the public - is the equivalent of a private residence and personal phone line?

  • I used to use it when confirming contact names and positions for people who requested work from our company.

    But all I want is to see Joe Bloggs (ah yes, he spells it with two Gs) works at Widget Co, and they are indeed the technical manager. I'm not there to make friends or recruit people so I don't want them seeing I'm looking them up.

  • I'll always admire his passion during elections. Dude is like an soccer commentator, getting all over excited over tiny movements and throwing up replays and overlays with arrows pointing at stuff and everything.

    I hope his replacement has the same passion.

  • I prefer the separation.

    Its interesting to read 3 or 4 topics on the same thing (sometimes it's even the same person posting to multiple instances) but getting wildly different "public opinion" depending on where it was posted and who ended up as the top comment (which tends to influence the rest of the comments).

  • So akshually, the camera provided the proof and the police did the catching... The bucket appears to have played no real part in this story.

  • Who cares? If your upvote or downvote or any other activity you deliberately perform on a public platform is something you're embarrassed about and wouldn't be willing to do in a face to face engagement you probably shouldn't be doing it.

  • Crypto was the biggest waste of resources ever until AI came along. Now its a competition to see who can destroy the planet first.

  • I'm here too - better make it a bakers dozen 😎

  • Dunno man, but if you find out let me know cause every time I see this bad boy I'm giggling like a schoolgirl no matter the situation

  • Many years ago I did post mix installs. Because we were subcontract, it was not unusual to install a system for one company, then replace it under the banner of another company, and then rip that out and install another system on behalf of the first company again.

    I can think of at least 3 different venues in our CBD that I swapped like that.

    What it did was make me real good at ensuring anything I installed was easy to follow and work with afterwards... Cause it was probably going to be me again lol

  • 1Password is the only one I found that I can share with the family, syncs changes practically instantly, and actually detects login fields on every platform I use it on (Android, Windows, Linux).

  • I love that you're saying monopolies are terrible, while crowing about how successful Epic is and how they licence their game engine to half the industry (presumably making them the largest share, given the remaining 50% is shared among every other alternative).

    Seems like this Steam monopoly isn't having the negative affect you're suggesting.

    I'm agnostic to all storefronts and platforms, I just hate exclusivity contracts.

  • No wonder they don't sell it anywhere else - wouldn't meet local safety requirements.

    I liked a recent BYD Shark teardown video by some American mob... Their biggest complaint was that it was "overbuilt" lol

    Fire up them tariffs lads, protectionism is the only thing ensuring sales.

  • I mean it's not really... Once bitten, twice shy. After 20 years of being bitten I'm pretty much amaxophobic towards the brand.
