Makes sense. I removed on FB from time to time and most of my posts get 20-30 engagements from close friends.

Anything pro-Palestine gets maybe 1, at best.

Correct. It’s documented.

About 2hrs per job.

I charge at home for $0.058/kWh. The company that provides it is also local and it does create local jobs.

I resemble this…sort of. Except my car is already paid for and I really don’t think it’s a wise decision to just blow money on another car simply to get out of a current vehicle that more than meets my needs.

Help friends & family. Donate to community assistance programs. Donate to other causes. Buy people nice gifts.

There are still…I dunno…probably DNS hops, IP, time’s of day, browser window size, browser user agent…

And if you access any page with any similar parameters on your phone or another household device on any site with FB tracking, it’s over.

It looks like in the last 7 days my phone has cutoff over 150,000 different tracking attempts and that’s just catchable ones and on my phone.

Same! I currently use Sync (was not a Sync fan historically), but I’ve tried Liftoff, Connect, Jerboa… others.

Ultimately, I miss Relay, but is what it is. I don’t miss reddit.

Maybe it’s regional, but Instacart use in my area straight up says which stores are priced the same or which are priced at a premium when you click on it. It isn’t hidden at all.

MMO = Massively Multiplayer Online (game)

You do you. $3500 is hard to argue with. Other person is just jealous.

What’s your price? Mine is probably $750k base. I’m 100% serious.

3x base salary at least. No-thought commute, so maybe provide transportation for me. I currently live what is about 1.5hrs away each way now and there isn’t a public transportation option.

Commute time should count towards my “8 hour work day”. No distracting desk drive bys. Provided breakfast and lunch or an optional lunch stipend or whatever to cover if I go somewhere near the office.

Not sounding great for the company? It isn’t meant to. It would be nearly impossible to get me to go back to the office, as it should be.

I’m not being unreasonable. I am at least twice as productive since working from home and even simple internal reports can prove that. I’m also 2-3x happier and less stressed, nothing can really replace that.

I actually encountered an issue earlier today where my important wasn’t working…and it was because another dev had already added a more specific important.

I deleted their important.

As a tech worker, I do almost jack shit and make deep into the six figures. Honestly, I’d be fine if UPS drivers made more than me, good on them.

Frankly, in terms of total compensation, pay them more.

Agreed!

SMS via 3rd party apps has and always will be buggy in some way, shape, or form, at least on Android. No clue why. Since the dawn of Android phones and after some 25-30 Android-specific phones owned in my life, I’ve yet to use a non stock SMS app that worked flawlessly all the time. Closest I’ve come, unfortunately, is Google Messages, and even that isn’t perfect.

My parents use Signal and are the most tech averse people I know, so it isn’t that hard. I converted all my friends to Signal. Switched wife to Signal.

SMS is maybe 3% of my usage these days and about 2% of that is just restaurant reservations or spam. There are two people I message via SMS like once a quarter and that’s it.

$20 one time for a well developed app that I use multiple hours a day is inexpensive.

I pay almost as much to multiple streaming services PER MONTH for a shitty experience and sometimes not a completely ad-free experience.

Anyway, in all honesty I chose the $1.99/mo because it gives the dev $24/yr into perpetuity. I also donate to instances. I also use Connect and Jerboa and Liftoff. It’s whatever.

Or for any major treatment or injuries you have to watch 6 ads first, if you bleed out before they’re done, so be it.

Brainfuck or Chef are pretty awesome.

It’s one pixel per user per timeframe, not one pixel per timeframe - if that makes sense.

Outside of that, it’s likely timestamped to the milliseconds on the server side, so it’d be pretty rare for two users to hit the exact same pixel at the same time and millisecond (or fractional millisecond). And even if, the server would still process one first, not both at the same time.

For some larger coordinations, there are bots that one can use to achieve swaths of changes very close together.

I kind of assumed, mistakenly, that other countries that aren’t the US were a bit more progressive than the US.

But it seems like the issues that we’re plagued by exist everywhere?

Fuck. We gotta fight.
