I don’t work for Amazon, but when my employer announced mandatory RTO I simply included travel time in my day. At home I could do 8 hours of pure work. RTO days were about 6 hours of work and 2 hours of commute.

This line of reasoning is baffling anyway. Amazon is spread out over multiple geographical locations, it’s not like remote meeting will go away

I’m pretty familiar with how one particular brand of TV works, and you’re right, it’s absolutely not screenshots. It’s a handful of single pixels across the screen. By matching these pixels against known content it’s possible to identify what was being watched. Not too different than how Shazam can identify a song.

That’s not to say all TV manufacturers work that way.

I very intentionally received only an associate’s degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It’s worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs “require” a bachelor’s or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.

In my experience, I’ve seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.

My ‘smart’ LG washer/dryer plays a jaunty little tune when done. Even on max volume it’s difficult to hear. I miss my old dumb machines.

Your situation is your own, but I was able to lease a phev for less than what I was paying for gas + maintenance on a car I had paid off. It may not be exactly what you want, but lease deals still come around occasionally.

Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it’s dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.

Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.

Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I’m guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something

At my office, you badge in to any of the side doors, but can walk right through the front door.

So it’s the same problem, but the opposite. Go to the office, don’t badge in, be productive all day. Badging in is not productivity.

Great movie

I’m lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I’ll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.

I don’t think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it’s just a single card

Yeah it’s from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It’s just a blank area where normally there’d be an ad.

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say “dollars four period fifty”?

That’s not nearly the justification that you think it is.

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …

I really am wondering if there’s some sort of sorting issue, or even a self inflicted feedback loop.

If you keep Lemmy on “active”, you end up with a bunch of 1, 2, even 3 day old content. This seems to be noticeably worse in the last few weeks.

However, if you use top 12, there’s enough content to keep it fresh. Not a lot of comments, but that’s alright

Ah interesting. I too have instituted a flex time Friday.

So far my company hasn’t seemed to notice
