  A contract for a salaried position may say something like “you will work 40 hours a week but you maybe have to work some moderate overtime to complete tasks at certain times throughout the year.” (Probably better worded than that) but that means they can expect you to work overtime every now and then if there is a deadline or a project that requires it. But if its every week or an unreasonable amount of overtime per week then you should be compensated with time in lieu or extra money. It all depends on your contract.

  Do yourself a favour, delete your account and never look back.

  The one time I missed it was when I was trying to sell a subwoofer which only has RCA inputs and I had to use my laptop top prove it worked to potential buyers. Other than that, I use Bluetooth exclusively.

  They now spruke .NET MAUI (Multi-Platform App UI) as the new “write once, deploy everywhere” framework. I’ve not used it but it sounds good in theory 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube intensifies fight against ad blockers showing pop-ups, and users are frustrated | Blocking ad-block users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I pay for premium but I ended up installing revanced on my phone so I could disable shorts and it also skips in-video ads which is really nice. I didn’t disable YouTube’s ad blocking though because I don’t need to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monitor Alignment Alignment Chart⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a mix between chaotic neutral and lawful neutral. I have a vertical monitor on my left which is mainly for slack + documents. Center screen for code and what ever I’m focused on and laptop screen on the right for calendar, email, other not in focus things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not so black and white though. Passion jobs are often exploited because people will put up with it more and there is higher demand for those types of jobs.

  Your best bet is to find something that is interesting and nice enough to keep you content and not bored to death but not so enthralling that you feel like working unpaid overtime or what ever. Bonus points if it’s paid relatively well.

  Here’s to hoping Musk tries some extreme cyber trucking on a very high and dangerous cliff somewhere too.

  To be fair, translation engines like deepl.com do handle idioms pretty well compared to google translate. It probably depends on the idiom and the languages though. But even deepl is nowhere near perfect. Fine for random stuff to be understood but not good for a professional news website.

  They are probably talking about “BeReal”. I’ve never heard of that either…
