I support this decision.

Thanks for looking out for us, Ada. <3

You absolutely should not feel bad about doing this. Ever.

If anything, you should talk about it and share your experience, because your experience could help some of those who work manual intensive jobs and are still struggling to get raises of their own.

Remember: If the company isn’t able to fairly compensate its workers, it doesn’t get to have workers. That’s how supply and demand works.

My phone is my wallet. It goes in my inside pocket where people aren’t going to be able to pick it. I’ve played Skyrim. I know how pickpocketing works. /joke

TIL only men are allowed to think Link is cute.

/sarcasm

Why? (For both parts of that statement)

Oh no. I won’t be part of The Zuck’s EEE plan. How terrible. /sarcasm

According to the National Safety Council there are “too few deaths to calculate odds”. (source). So, I’m pretty sure we can call the probability of two extremely-rare events happening independently in succession as near to nothing as makes no odds.

Also, modern combined units (sometimes called CVDRs) are built to withstand multiple impacts, and their storage medium is solid state. It is highly likely that, in the event of this near-impossible scenario, the recorder could be recovered again.

Thanks for your message though I’m a little confused, what more is there to say?

I know I’m not the target of this question but I can’t imagine tipping a hairdresser.

The HVAC industry is working on that.

I tried to sign up for Instagram to check it out. Here’s my experience of attempting to sign up:

• I gave my email address and date of birth.
• I chose a password.
• I chose a usernam–
• Upon typing the first character of my chosen username, I saw an error message: “An error has occurred. Please refresh the page.”
• I refreshed the page.
• “Your account has been suspended as you have breached our Community Guidelines. Please complete the information below to have the matter reviewed.”
• I gave my email address (again).
• I checked my email and click the link they sent me.
• I gave my phone number.
• I checked my SMS and provide the code they sent me.
• I was asked to take a “Verification Selfie”. You have to write your name, your username, and a six-digit number they give you “on a clean piece of paper” and hold it up. Your hand and face must be visible in the photo. It’s not entirely clear what they want to verify this picture against. Or what username you’re supposed to use, because, again, this whole thing started when I’d typed an “a”.

And at that point I realised I wasn’t welcome on Instagram.

Back when Amazon Smile was a thing, I had Amazon notifications turned on (a prerequisite for earning charity donations), and had Tasker set up to automatically dismiss them so they wouldn’t bother me.

It means what it says.

…by which I mean, I have absolutely no idea.

…also, that’s a horse.

Nope, images don’t federate, just links to them :)

What’s uploaded: 1000 10MB pictures What’s federated: 1000 hyperlinks

Your local public library is a great resource for this, if you have one. Most public libraries host classes, and even those that don’t will know of community colleges that do. :)

There is a known strategy called EEE (Embrace, extend, and extinguish).

First, they embrace the open web. Millions of people who never would’ve joined the Fediverse (and, probably, don’t even know what the Fediverse is) flock to Threads and start to interact with us.

Then, they extend the open web, adding features to Threads that aren’t compatible with our servers. People on Threads don’t understand what’s wrong with our server (even though it’s Threads that’s the source of incompatibility).

Finally, they decide they’re “having trouble maintaining compatibility with third party servers” and start to break off from us, leaving us with no way to interact with our new friends. Unless, of course, we make a free Threads account…

Google Talk is perhaps the most relevant example of this. Here’s more details.

Please don’t make a new coin specifically for Lemmy. We’re doing just fine without one, thanks.

On mobile, I use NewPipe X SponsorBlock which is a fork of NewPipe. Amongst other things, it lets you completely hide shorts. :)

Sideways 0% discounts are very very infuriating, I agree!
