The only archive of it was made one day before a satire article writing about it was made, and there are no traces of the website from before that anywhere online. Mods took down the previous thread on this.

It was some writer wanting to get attention who spread it.

Edit: context on why it’s fake: https://beehaw.org/comment/1430242

There’s also a lot of satire on the original website that posted the article

Why would I complain? I’d just look for a different one. I’d do that whether I voluntarily quit or if I got fired. I don’t work in a field with very good job security so I always have a few backups planned.

I know that it wasn’t, that was just an extra thought that I threw in that was related.

I don’t see how it makes my response nonsense, everything was on the topic of accepting lower salary for a new remote position except that sentence. /gen

Another user did some digging too and pointed out that the archive was the only one and was made on the day before the article, so the shaman website seems to have been created specifically for that article https://beehaw.org/comment/1430242

OP’s post links here if it doesn’t work on your instance: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4740497/gnome-foundation-hires-professional-shaman-as-new-executive-director

The first line says “Seriously. This isn’t satire.”, but a few of the other posts are satire on the site (not all), such as “KDE Foundation hires Dwarf Paladin as new Executive Director” and “NetBSD Ported to Cheese Sandwich”. So this is probably malicious satire.

Looks like they were trying to link here, but the link didn’t work, at least on the instance I’m on. Not sure about others. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4740497/gnome-foundation-hires-professional-shaman-as-new-executive-director

Edit: The first line says it’s not satire, but poking around the site there is definitely some satire articles on there, so I think this is probably malicious satire.

Edit 2: https://beehaw.org/comment/1430242

I absolutely will not part with pay to work from home. I will work for my regular pay, from home, instead of from work. If my job even attempts to lower my pay, I’m out and looking for a different one.

No compromises. Most of us are already underpaid when we do the job on-site.

Shelter, Insular (f-droid, FLOSS fork of Shelter), or Android Work Profiles/User Profiles if your phone lets you manually control them. If not, Shelter or Insular manage it for you.

On Samsung, Secure Folder will also do it.

These create a separate user profile that is shown with a little icon on the corner of the app icon, separate from your main phone user profile (this includes being separate from your VPN connection, if any, keep that in mind). They’ll all do what you’re trying to do if you stick your games in them.

Not directly, but you can use KDE Connect (Windows, Linux, and Mac are supported) to do it by pairing your phone and PC through it. It’s not as nice an experience as Google Messages on PC, but you can send, get notifications for, and reply to sms in your PC’s notifications after it’s set up

Simple SMS is what I use, I use almost their whole suite of apps. The ones on the Play Store are limited, but the ones they put on F-Droid are full-featured (It’s an open source app suite, but the play store versions are that freemium donation style kinda thing).

Here’s the link to their whole app suite on F-Droid, has all the essentials like file manager, camera, dialer, calendar, contacts, calculator, etc. The “Simple Thank You” app (also on F-droid) works as a theme manager for all the app suite, so you can set a theme you like and then pick “shared” as the theme in all the other apps https://search.f-droid.org/?q=simplemobiletools&lang=en

Most importantly, they actually seem to get updates unlike a lot of these style of apps sadly, I wish there were more options available that weren’t abandoned.

I guess that’s fair, still worth the warning though

Check if your switch is a V1 model or a V2. If it is a switch V2, Lite, or Oled, you need a modchip. If it is a V1, you only need an RCM jig for like $3-7 (or some tin foil if you’re risky, extremely not recommended, do you prefer to save $3-7 but chance frying your $300+ switch) and a usb cable.

If your Switch model number starts with XAW, you have a switch V1, in which case just follow this guide https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy

If you have a V2, you need to get ahold of a PicoFly modchip, which is a Rasperry Pi Pico RP2040 flashed with https://github.com/Ansem-SoD/Picofly which you can DIY (or there are other ones, but they’re expensive or hard to find) and solder it into the motherboard, and then follow the guide.

The only ones I’ve really ended up liking are KDE Plasma, and Cosmic (both the modified Gnome version, and hopefully the Rust version in the future too. Right now I’m enjoying Cosmic more than KDE Plasma so I have high hopes for it, both are great though.

They’re not really asking for ultimate max privacy, just better privacy than they currently have.

LanguageTool, a mostly¹ open source Grammarly alternative, has a Libreoffice Extension. Their LibreOffice extension runs locally instead of using their servers so that’s a plus too https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/languagetool

¹ the browser extension is proprietary, but their extension for LibreOffice and standalone app are open source under the LGPL

No fan of all the constant Brave threads myself but the calling everyone who isn’t against Brave a Brave Employee is very tinfoil hat, not sure if it was meant ironically or not but can we stop this “everyone who doesn’t agree with me is a paid shill” nonsense. I despise Brave, and hate the CEO, but I don’t think everyone who doesn’t is getting paid for it. 3 of OP’s 35 posts and 21 comments are even about Brave at all.

Pretty sure most people just use sudo for everything if they aren’t a sysadmin, I use sudo and almost never touch su unless I’m recovering from a major screwup

Recently moved to PopOS and while I’ve been generally aware of Cosmic I’ve been looking into it a lot recently, don’t know much about programming languages but from what I understand Rust is supposed to be really fast for this stuff.

Will using Rust cause the desktop to feel really responsive/snappy compared to other ones like Gnome or KDE Plasma (not that they’re slow), or is it more like an efficiency thing, less CPU/RAM use, etc? If this has already been answered can someone link me because I haven’t been able to find much on it

I mean, there’s good reason to hate the guy, but there’s plenty of controversies the browser has had as well that should ward anyone who cares about privacy away from it, they’ve proven they will do shady stuff without users knowing like affiliate link injection, and then just “apologize” when caught.

Google would be crucified for doing that yet when a shady crypto browser does it it gets a pass.

It actually is like that or at least close to that but it’s a bit hard to find in the settings, looks like you can’t just add them directly and have to do it when the popup shows which is a bit awkward though
