In general it really does depend on the interviewer. I was honest and open about how my new manager at my last job fucked over the team and myself, with specific details, and it led to good conversations during the interview process for the place I’m at now.

Yeah this is the bigger issue here really. Fuck Google and their invasive bullshit, absolutely, but work devices should never be used for personal/private use, and vice versa. Keep that shit completely separate as much as possible.

Really depends on the instance. Most lemmy.world subs are cesspools. Hexbear and the like tend to be much better overall.

A lot of these people are so lost that they genuinely believe anyone can become a billionaire if they put in the work. Propaganda machine go brrrr

I started using the same one after this weirdo started trying (and failing) to doxx me for like 3 months. A bit pricy but they definitely work. Tried looking myself up a couple months in and I couldn’t find shit.

It definitely feels a bit uncomfortable giving them all the information they need to do the job though I’ll admit. It makes sense, but I can definitely see why people would question if they’re legit. I think I researched for hours before going with it just to make sure it was real.

Though spam calls have definitely been a nuisance again this past month or so.

Retconning basically every character death retcon they’ve made in Yakuza over the years, and making Pirates completely non-canon because what the fuck

It was on the Lemmy.world selfhosted sub but I’d rather not link it as it’s likely still open because the OP wasn’t listening to anyone and there’s probably some awful shit on there now.

Shoutout to that dude last week posting a fully public fileshare service because he wanted to “practice” selfhosting

Both because the dishwasher in our apartment sucks ass and always leaves like 5 things that need to be redone by hand.

I’ve always been concerned about it but never got around to making big changes until recently. Deleted my Facebook ten years ago but held on to IG so that says a lot about my priorities at the time. Tried a Linux dual boot but went back to Windows because Linux gaming support was almost non-existent (granted I did routinely run the Shut Up 10 tool at least).

Ten years later, I buckled down and changed everything I could. I haven’t cut everything out (i.e. still on Google Fi because of costs and coverage, still on discord because no one wants to go anywhere else). But now I’ve been running GrapheneOS for a year, run CachyOS on both my desktop and steam deck, moved from gmail to tuta, set up an entire home server to get away from google services and media streaming platforms, etc etc. This whole year has been the bulk of it for sure.

Honestly the biggest inspiration for finally getting it done was seeing all the tech oligarchs at the nazi inauguration last year, and knowing sooner or later they’re gonna start coming for communists too. Is all this gonna be enough to save my ass if they do? Probably not, but better now than never.

This one’s wild to me lmao. Like yeah I get how it’s not everyone’s taste but the game was getting 10/10’s across the board, and of course discussions are gonna die down 2 months after it launches when most people who picked it up at launch finished it by October.

I legitimately feel like ER is one of FromSoft’s weakest titles. It doesn’t come close to the DS trilogy for me, and unironically I feel like Nightreign is a better game in the same vein, as the faster paced sandbox works far better for the fast, clusterfuck bosses ER is known for.

Back in my competitive smash bros days there were so many cliques like this, bizarre ass community. Lots of people superficially loved them but the minute you start to actually get to know them the manipulation and narcissism became immediately clear. That community fosters so much dogshit tbh

I keep in touch with 2 here and there - we don’t really talk much, but maybe a couple times a year at most. On good terms with both, but just living our own lives.

The other two I haven’t said a word to in years. One I’ve completely cut contact with, along with her entire circle I used to be friends with, once I snapped out of it and realized I’d just been taken advantage of and the whole group was toxic. Shitshow and a half, and also a big part of why I stepped away from a specific game’s community that we met through.

The last one I don’t like to dwell on too much, because in this case I know I was the abusive asshole - I’ve grown and changed since then, and there’s no point opening old wounds by reaching out. I hope they’re doing well these days and have processed and healed from the damage I know I caused.

A lot of this bullshit is pretty easily tricked tbh

When I finally added a NAS to my server setup I ended up going with unraid despite the license fee and funky flash drive thing, but I have 0 complaints. Being able to just shove random drives at it of any sizes (under the parity) is huge.

Which reminds me, I’ve had a few dropout shows on my jellyfin for a while but really need to drop a sub to support. They do great stuff

The site still looks like it came right out of the late 90’s and that’s all it needs to be

Native Mullvad app when home using my own DNS server, Tailscale through a gluetun container + headscale when away. The latter eats up battery quite a bit otherwise I’d just keep that on all the time.

I can forgive Wikipedia and Internet Archive for the spam. Both sites are incredibly valuable and completely ad-free.
