go work for employers that embrace remote work

Have you not noticed the massive numbers of people being laid off right now in all sorts of industries?

Remote jobs are not easy to find right now. Employers are being very picky, and they can be when they get 100 applicants a day for a position. This is not the easy solution you make it out to be.


The lead lemmy devs are struggling with funding - https://join-lemmy.org/donate

Sync isn’t well updated / supported and I’d recommend moving to another client. I was a long time sync user so I found it hard, but I personally settled on Thunder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hjiangsu.thunder&hl=en_CA




Chicken fried rice. It’s a few more than 5 ingredients, but it’s all easy prep.

The texture isn’t quite right since its not actually fried, but the flavor is solid. I make double and freeze in portioned baggies.


Huh? Instances can’t give out emails, that’s a privacy violation.


Lemmy doesn’t log ips, and the access logs don’t contain usernames or id’s by default. You would need to modify things to record ips.


Lol nope. Right now registration questions and email validation are the only tools.



Lots of people bought before musk fully revealed himself, and who would buy a used Tesla now if they tried to sell?

Hate on the people that deserve it, not the randoms who happened to buy a Tesla.





If adding some analytics adds 5s to the load time, then they need to fire their developers.

There’s no way this is accidental.


Wasn’t paywalled for me. Wired allows a certain number of views per month so it’s not always obvious you’re posting something paywalled.


Yes but if I was a dick, I’d just harvest their passwords silently and then try them on other websites.


Just to correct the people who say they can’t see your password - this is only true if they’re running a stock copy of lemmy, which hashes passwords in the database.

They’re free to modify their instance however they want, including storing unencrypted passwords or emailing your password on registration to a bot farm.

Always use a unique password for every site you use.



Google credit card churning. Work your way through amex and other point systems. Get free / cheap business class tickets with lay flat seats.


Asleep one night in the summer with my windows open, house is facing onto a quiet residential street. Around 2am something comes flying in my window and I yell “what the fuck”, it’s a soccer ball.

I look outside, nobody there, probably just some stupid kids. Go back to sleep. An hour later something comes else comes flying in the window - a brand new stick of butter still wrapped in foil. Look outside, they’re gone. WTF but go back to sleep.

The butter incident happens several more times over the following months. One time the bell rang, my roommate opened the door and I hear her yell “I think it’s for you”. I go and look and there’s a stick of butter on the door mat.

One day it happens again but we’re more prepared, we see someone wearing a motorcycle helmet leave the butter and then bolt. My roommate chases him down the street and rips the helmet off, to find it’s another mutual friend who we thought had left the country. The initial soccer ball + butter was just some random kids, but then my friend picked it up and ran with it. Going so far as to lie about flight dates for a vacation so that we’d think he was out of the country and not suspect him.

Also once watched a gas tanker slowly reverse over a sedan at a gas station and just crush it, while the owners are standing there watching.
