• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get a package to the right owner?⁩ ⁨⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  OP may see it listed for $150-700, but who’s not to say it’s a $2 knock-off?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  MPV blows VLC out of the water when it comes to playback. After using it at work to sift through collectively hundreds of thousands of hours of video, waiting for VLC to do anything feels painful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly just get a new mouse and consider this a lesson to be a bit more careful next time. The amount of effort to fix your current mouse isn’t worth your time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Found money. What do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Put it towards rent, shit’s insane these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fingerprinting. If they don’t have a cookie, they’ll link other information that they have to figure out with pretty decent accuracy who you are

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Be careful about ebay, a lot of sellers just drop ship from Amazon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The ghosting was mutual, I couldn’t show my face there again (metaphorically)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I literally had a panic attack and ran out of the room during a phone interview once

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I ask my manager or my director a question or challenge their thought process I get called into a 1 on 1 meeting where I’m told I’m a great asset to the team but me asking questions of them in a team setting sets a bad example

  This isn’t on you. If you manager’s skin is so thin that they can’t take some critical thinking thrown at them, then they shouldn’t be a manager. Though if you’re doing it all the time it’s probably very annoying. If they’re doing some self-destructive braindead company decisions, then just roll your eyes and don’t say anything while waiting for their comeuppance to bite them in the ass. You don’t have to kiss the ring but you don’t have to be a nuisance either.

  So I guess my question if any is are there still companies that exist in the USA or outside that still give a fuck about what they’re doing and not just inflate that companies value so it can be sold or keep the stock price going up.

  Maybe a small business with decent core values. They are very rare though, and are liable to be eaten alive by a change in management. So basically no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Using labels for attraction and gender is a way to bring people closer together and share communities and issues. It’s limited to dating, though obviously it helps to find people who fit each other’s attraction. “Oh you’re pan? That’s awesome, I’m gay and this is my boyfriend!” / “I heard Stacy is single, let’s hook her up with Jane, tee hee” / “Does anyone know where I can find a gender-neutral restroom at the airport?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a thousand years, will historians regard today as the digital dark ages?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In a thousand years, they’d probably lump together 1950 through 2150

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop laughing at stupid shit all the time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Inside you are two wolves. You’re at a furry convention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blahaj? I'd be curious what led to this decision.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A wise man of our time once declared, “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes hey”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is OCR for handwritten content still that bad?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the dotted paper might be confusing the OCR. I’m curious if you 'shop out the dots, will the OCR have a better time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oopsie whoopie uwu I forgor to work in this, sowwy :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will online only "Device Activation" become the norm for every device in the future? / Will everything require an app in the future?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck speaking to the general manager when you’re not buying anything, the staff will laugh you out the door

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it has an HDMI port, it can be a dumb TV. Just don’t connect it to wifi, easy
