  I made accounts for my board of directors, two of them got “permanently suspended” because of “violating the TOS” before they even logged in. Had to delete and recreate them. So it’s not perfect, but for free, I do manage.

  They thought they were fucking advancing humanity up there. They probably thought the photos would be published above the fold in the NYT coverage about the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft pulls MS365 Business Premium from nonprofits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Google offers workspace for free to nonprofits, Including device management. No one, I know in nonprofits even fucks with Microsoft because they’re so ridiculous. Now it’ll be even less people.

  Google now has the market cornered because they aren’t as greedy.

  ironically Sean Penn is woke as fuck by anyone’s standards. We desperately need that kind of energy tho, Leftist Men who have Strength, Values and Personality. Very lacking right now, and has left a terrible vacuum that’s being filled with absolute red-pill garbage.

  There’s a whole cottage industry dedicated to convincing people their kitchen and baths need to be remodeled to the studs every 10/15 years, windows need replacing, new siding, all sorts of crazy shit, just get yourself a home equity line, it adds to the value after all! But that just means you’re in more debt to own what you already owned. Home equity lines of credit can be super useful but people use them like lotto tickets.

  You’ll have to subscribe to a premium Azure tier to be able to use multiple cannons at once. Consider bundling services into an enterprise war package.

  And even then it’s dependent on the availability of the 4G network or whatever. They’re currently sunsetting 2G and 3G networks, that means a lot of old school devices have to be upgraded or cut off, upgrades come with new contracts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philips debuts 3D printable components to repair products⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep they basically give the handle away for free anyway just to get you on the blades. Giving away accessories at no-cost-to-them is totally on brand. I doubt many other companies will do it, as accessories are usually moneymakers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thats fair⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a friend who’s losing the battle with cancer right now and I didn’t really appreciate how bad it would be. Both the cancer itself, and having this much forewarning. I would rather it be quick and surprise. For my sake lol screw everyone else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not difficult to understand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No NDA on earth prohibits giving a vague idea of what the duties and industry were. You may not be able to say the specific projects you worked on, or maybe even the name of the employer under extreme circumstances, but that would be like MI5 level rare, and those folks aren’t out applying for the jobs you are.

  The real trick is having an LLC so you can just point to that and say you were consulting or self-employed during that time. Or have a friend with one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Generational differences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen people discreetly vape weed while walking between concourses in airports, and I’ve done it, and so what. Not around crowds. Bathrooms tho yes. IDK how those of us with legit medical applications are supposed to medicate during travel days otherwise. And thank god for it. I used to have to take harsh anxiety meds instead.

  I lived in a small town to everyone knew each other’s parents at least from a distance.

  I can’t remember a single parent being attractive.

  Nor do I remember the teachers being attractive, but several of them tapped student ass.

  Because the warehouse was built on the tracks. Alas that infrastructure tie-in has mostly gone away, new facilities are built with proximity to cheap labor, land, and easy to consume + pollute natural resources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you guys for the advice last post. I found a tech support job now. One step closer to leaving homelessness⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So happy when people can make the transition into decent paying, clean work like this. Yeah we all bitch about it, but if you’ve ever done real hard and dirty work, you know it’s actually pretty great to sit and deal with IT problems all day long. Good luck to you.

  It’s kind of unreal that they took something that worked perfectly well for 25 years and then fucked it up entirely overnight, for no good reason.

  Stick in bike spokes meme.

  Interesting. Ok, I will give it another go at some point. I had an Oculus Rift and there was a ton of promise but the tech was just not ready.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairy tales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually wise to avoid trusting the people you see in mirrors as well, never know what they’re doing when you’re not around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep I’ve played with virtual monitors in VR space and I don’t even like watching movies on them, the loss in resolution and the way the dynamic aspect of it (using a moving screen to simulate a static screen) makes it a shitty solution. Eventually it’ll be good enough to watch TV in but I can’t imagine doing serious work in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we make lemmy have more relevance?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn’t even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when “downvote ≠ disagree” and the place felt nicer.

  Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that’s neat, but at what cost? I don’t like being on it, and I’ve been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.
