Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I’ve been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn’t happen though and I’ve since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.

Yes, and somehow those who are against RealID are okay with using a passport.

My ‘smart’ LG washer/dryer plays a jaunty little tune when done. Even on max volume it’s difficult to hear. I miss my old dumb machines.

The public transit in the Seattle area is solidly “pretty good” if you live in the right area. It’s continuing to grow as well, if you live in the right area.

As you might guess… I don’t live in the right area. And Seattle (sound transit) basically gives you the 🖕 if you don’t. But truly, it’s actually pretty good if you can take advantage of it.

(It would take nearly 2 hours with no traffic on public transit alone for me to get to Seattle, 20 miles away)

Nah. Just take like 4 Ambien and sleep for that entire 34 hour train ride.

I drove Seattle to LA over the summer. Did it over two days. It wasn’t pleasant per se. But I got to sleep in a real bed. Took an impromptu trip to San Jose (Winchester house). Found some good taco trucks. And still got there in half the time a train would. The train just doesn’t make sense for us, not on long trips at least.

Great movie

I’m lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I’ll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.

I don’t think so?

The frequency I see ads is very very low. And when they do it’s just a single card

Yeah it’s from adguard DNS.

Ads just show up semi frequently. Definitely visible but not obtrusive. Just keep scrolling.

You should still see the frequency with adguard. It’s just a blank area where normally there’d be an ad.

I paid to remove ads from Reddit Sync in 2014. 9 years went by where I continued to use the app every single day, as ljdawson continued regular improvements and updates (aside from the incident). By the time Reddit Sync went away, I felt I had vastly underpaid for what I got, and purchased lifetime Ultra as a way of supporting ljdawson.

I totally get what you’re saying. But at the same time, Sync is so much more than just the content that it displays. The ads are not there to profit on free content, they’re there to support the user experience that sync provides. They’re also far, far less obtrusive than typical ads

The nice thing is, there’s choices! Feel free to use other clients and find what works best

Do you write 4$ and 50¢?

Or do you write $4.50

And if you write $4.50 do you say “dollars four period fifty”?

That’s not nearly the justification that you think it is.

I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.

DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …

Sometimes that’s just how you gotta lay

I really am wondering if there’s some sort of sorting issue, or even a self inflicted feedback loop.

If you keep Lemmy on “active”, you end up with a bunch of 1, 2, even 3 day old content. This seems to be noticeably worse in the last few weeks.

However, if you use top 12, there’s enough content to keep it fresh. Not a lot of comments, but that’s alright

Ah interesting. I too have instituted a flex time Friday.

So far my company hasn’t seemed to notice

They claimed my daughter’s phone had a cracked screen and couldn’t replace the battery, while showing a picture of the very clearly not cracked screen.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Virtually identical absolutely. But in my personal experience over the last few months, I see content that’s in lemmy.world that’s not on lemm.ee

For a while, because content was more thin, I’d run through all of active, then all of hot, then I’d look at lemmy.world just to see if there was content I hadn’t seen yet

I look at lemmy.world all occasionally to get a sense of what I’m interested in but don’t know it yet. Then I subscribe to help expand the variety for everyone. Not that lemm.ee is all that small
