Yeah if that sign said "Childhood vaccines cause Student Loans"......I mean, yay I'm alive but at what cost?!

(Please vaccinate your children)

Company: This interview does not require prior preparation.

Also company: Here is a 4-minute walkthrough of what the interview will actually look like - we recommend you review this so you know what to expect.

Have you considered the profits that can be made if we ~~exploit~~ encourage school aged children to learn a trade? Think of the value to the shareholders!

Networking is the best way to get a job. If you aren't going to meetups or making connections, it's going to be much harder for you to find a job.

I say this as a very extreme introvert so I know the pain.

Ever since we've gone to hybrid working, I've been having to deactivate work notifications and enable game notifications back and forth and it's driving me nuts.

I have a Pixel 9 Pro XL and would like a way to allow app notifications to come through based on a variable that I can control. At my disposal I have Tasker and Home Assistant but can't find a way to perform automations to enable or disable specific app notifications.

Is there a way to do this? I have to imagine other people have this problem.

I had this one user who kept using an old report. It used a terribly provisioned db account and had to be changed.

We created a v2 that was at feature parity to v1 and told users to move off of v1. Slowly but surely it happened.

Except one user.

We put up nag screens. Delays on data return, everything we could go "carrot" them to the new version but they stuck with it.

Eventually I called the guy and just asked him, "Why are you still using the old version?"

His answer, "no one ever told me about the new version."

I asked him if he got our email. He said no. I forwarded it to him.

"Oh."

I asked him didn't you read the nag screens? He said no.

I asked him, "The page doesn't allow you to move on until you wait 90 seconds. Why didn't you read it?"

"I didn't think it was important."

I learned an important lesson that day: never wait for all users to move. Once you have enough, start doing scream tests.

Which is it?!

This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.

Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.

I can't find a reputable news source for this story so I'm assuming it's fake news.

It shouldn't be this easy to manipulate news feeds.

I've been searching around for a copy of the Resolute Letter that Trump left for Biden. The letters are typically released within a few days of entering office but this was never done because Biden wanted to talk to Trump first before doing so.

It's been almost four years. Surely it's been done by now and I can't seem to find any article with the letter or anything on the official White House website. I'm tempted to submit a FOIA request for it but wasn't sure where to start.

I was hoping this picture would be on this thread.

Crying is only allowed by men if you're a conservative under oath I suppose.

Let's add another one.

I mean....if you don't want people asking questions about your military service, maybe, just maybe, don't question the military service of your opponent.

They don't. Companies regularly abuse DMCA notices because the law REQUIRES a hosting company to take down the information immediately.

It allows 14 days for the same information to be restored after receiving a counter notice.

fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

I know it occasionally has service disruptions, but it usually comes back up after a day or so. Fmovies has been down for almost the entire week for me.

Anyone else having issues?

Good day self-hosters! I'm not exactly sure what to call what I'm looking for besides a "clipboard". Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is.

At work, I get a lot of slack DMs that ask for the same information. It's not consistent to the point I would just pin the information in my Windows 11 clipboard. But it's often enough that I'd prefer to give people the same information each time it's asked.

I'm limited in what I can build on my work computer. In an ideal world, I'd do what Gilfoyle did and make and bot but I lack the time and skills for such a task. Right now, I solve this with a very long notepad, which is subject to copy/paste errors. If I don't highlight everything correctly or if I accidentally copy over an existing line. That kind of thing.

What I was thinking was a very simple website where the items I'm copying are in tiles that can be tagged and searched. Once I find what I'm looking for, I can click the button to copy it to my clipboard and then go on with my life.

Due to restrictions on my work computer, I cannot host containers or host a website, though a fully self-contained HTML page with javascript I could do.. Ideally this is something that can be build using Github Pages build with Jekyll but so far, I haven't found a theme that mimics the behavior I'm looking for and I lack the time (though not the skills) to build it.

I'd prefer the github route so that I can share the page with others on my team who get asked similar questions.

I am also able to deploy a website via Github Pages (with .nojekyll).

I have to think something similar to this already exists but I imagine the restrictions on having no backend might be the challenge. Love to hear your thoughts!

Edit: added context for Gilfoyle

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I should have added in this post that my work does not allow software with Copyleft (Don't get me started. I'm a strong copyleft advocate and it annoys me that my company only takes and never gives back to OSS). I'm going to give TiddlyWiki out. License is friendly with my work, seems simple enough to run.

That said, Logseq seems to be pretty interesting as well. Might try this out on my on machine to see if I like it.
