I had someone on my team who we had to let go for not showing up to work, and it took 3 tries to just get him to join the call. For the backstory, he basically didn’t work for ~9 months into the pandemic when we were all working from home. He wasn’t very productive when we’d be in the office, but when WFH, he seemed to only do work when we were on our one on ones, and it got to the point where I had to schedule a 3 hour call every day to motivate him to do work. Eventually he stopped showing up to most of those and was wasn’t getting anything done, and wasn’t fair to everyone else on the team picking up the slack. Sucked for everyone involved.

Please bro, just let us watch your every movement at all times. Why you have to be like that.

FYI DMs aren’t encrypted, so they would be visible to admins (on both sides of the conversation). There is a warning about this when starting a DM, but is something to consider. I’m not sure how the delete function works, but best to go with the assumption that DMs are soft deleted (i.e. not removed from the DB, just not returned) and could be visible after being deleted.

FWIW, votes are actually public information and sent as activity pub events for the votes to be counted from different instances. For example these are the people who up/down voted this post: https://lemvotes.org/post/programming.dev/post/54017015

I guess with this info, don’t be horny on main and vote on stuff you wouldn’t be comfortable with others knowing about.

Nintendo is being singled out because they’re withholding the tariff refunds for tariffs they never paid and passed on to the customers. When the tariffs were imposed, no one really blamed Nintendo and knew it was the Administration’s fault. If Nintendo didn’t want sales to drop because of higher prices, they could have eaten the additional tariff cost until it all got sorted out. Had they done this, then they’d be entitled to that tariff refund money. Instead they passed on the tariff cost to customers, which sucks for customers but was really the only sensible thing Nintendo could have done given the circumstances, and most people aren’t really blaming Nintendo on that decision. But now Nintendo is trying to have it both ways, not pay any of the tariffs and keep all of the tariff refunds which is why they’re being singled out. It’s pure greed on their part with blatant disrespect to their customers.

I think Johnny Craig did artwork for Tales from the Crypt, but maybe it was commissioned for a goosebumps cover? I didn’t do much digging but found the auction and sketches to be the most interesting and wanted to share it.

IANAL too, but 4th amendment protections are different at borders, and this was at an international airport. The duress code is an interesting wrinkle, like what if he told them the code and the officers entered it into the phone, did the officer technically erase evidence then? I think Apple has some similar setting to wipe the iPhone after 10 failed attempts or something like that, so surprised this hasn’t come up before to setup precedence

The work is World’s Scariest Ride by Johnny Craig. Apparently according to this auction, “Johnny Craig was commissioned for a painting in 1994, and these are the concept sketches and some of the more detailed final sketches showing different P.o.V. and distance from the subject.”

I took a look at it earlier today and the addition of instances to be blocked was super shady and sloppy on part of the maintainer. Some high profile instances were added to the blocklist alongside unrelated changes and not mentioned in the git commit message, for example this commit: https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract/commit/fcd71e01e9f64d5ff40dbee9b815971bc00e9a2a

Also apparently the error you’d get when going to the blocked instance was a generic error which makes the user think there’s a network issue or incompatibility with the API or something and the idea of a hard coded blocklist is never presented to the user as the source of the issue.

I assume a reference to orca attacking yachts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iberian_orca_attacks

hmmm, maybe it’s the extension that’s not passing the referrer information in my case? I am using “Old Reddit Redirect”. The URL in that search result still shows www.reddit.com when I hover over the link, and when I open it and the browser extension changes the URL to old.reddit.com which is where I get the login prompt.

I guess other extensions might rewrite the link destination, but then that would require more access to the extension to read/write the contents of every site visited, which is too much for me.

OP showed a screenshot for old.reddit.com which is the older UI from ~2014. I have a rewrite rule in an extension that turns all reddit links into this to get the better old UI even when clicking through from a search engine result, and got the same message a few hours ago.

Porque no los dos? Of course don’t feed reddit with content for them to sell, or aimlessly browse the frontpage. If you need information on a niche subject, or refer to something that happened in 2011, don’t burden yourself to avoid reddit. Just set yourself to be in read only mode with ad blockers to the max so you get more from them then they get from you.

Great explanation. For anyone reading this, if this helped your understanding, and want more explanation of electrical concepts like this, check out the book There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings

When Sgt Angle outlines his theory that the killings are a conspiracy to build a rival supermarket on land where a highway bypass is to be built, only for the actual reason being that the people had an annoying laugh or their house was ugly was so brilliant. Love that movie.

Some of that plot sounds like You Were Never Really Here which is a great movie though, although less of a critique of modern society like Falling Down is, and more about a guy destroying a human trafficking network.

Didn’t he snap because he was in traffic to work and his AC broke, and then at a corner store, the clerk wouldn’t give him change so he could use a payphone? The McDonald scene is iconic, but by that part, he’s already smashed up a convenience store and stolen a gun from a gang, so he was beyond snapped.

TBH the second season didn’t do it for me, enough I don’t care to try the third. The first season was alright, but I kept getting reminded of Dexter and the poor writing for the present day characters. The 90s parts with the kids were the best parts and the current day stuff seemed like filler.

It all felt like cheap Showtime writing. After what happened to Dexter after season 4, i basically wrote off all Showtime drama shows, but broke my rule for Yellowjackets and regretted it.

I think the only thing you need to know is the Empire are fascists and baddies. They make that pretty clear even if you don’t know that. Imagine a political spy thriller made by someone who doesn’t care about Star Wars lore, because that’s what it is.
