In the 80s nobody would have blinked.

It’s a fine outfit, but it’s super dated.

Three things combined: woman, money, female empowerment. Most of the replies probably don’t even follow this comm, they just have to share their lukewarm thought about a woman encouraging female empowerment, by being negative.

Lemmy has a big problem with incel-like behavior/thought patterns. Has since I joined going on 2 years ago. The wave I was part of managed to drive off the majority of female users in under 6 months. Just like Reddit but without the popular-platform-userbase that allows some of that shit to be drowned out.

There’s a very large subset of users who don’t like women and want them to stfu and go away. And we female types see that in this sort of post, which is why the new exodus had to create or resurrect -any- femme-focused comm.

And if we keep this shit up they will be driven off in 6 mths again.

It honestly really is.

I use a credit union and they don’t penalize for either one. There’s a small “get gud with money” fee for the transfer if you use overdraft protection, something like $1.50 or whatever, but I don’t think there’s an insufficient funds fee at all. They just decline the transaction. I mean it’s not like it actually costs them anything to compare the incoming charge to your account balance, so a fee for not being on the ball is silly.

So your options might actually be “eat the fee, or switch banking institutions”, but they won’t tell you that, ofc.

You can make or buy something like this if you can’t do clips.

I think Mozilla has something like this as well (also a subscription).

I’m of the opinion that, at this point, one of the best infosec things a company could do is include a subscription like this (assuming they are safe and work as intended) for all employees as part of their compensation package, much the way they sometimes provide financial consulting services or gym memberships. Maybe one of the providers will start offering enterprise packages.

If we could purge large quantities of data on employees, it would be that much harder to use social engineering for hacking. As a bonus, if enough people got themselves purged, it would entirely disrupt the data harvesting and selling models, potentially making them worthless. That would be a huge win.

But I don’t think many people are going to pay for it themselves. They just won’t care that much. So as a work perk, it incentivizes them to use it by being free.

I’m not in IT or anything, but my close friend is in security, so it’s something I consider quite a bit.

Edit to add: obviously I’d rather see it illegal to collect data and sell it and all but that’s not going to happen any time soon, and this could be a lot faster. And if it becomes a business expense, businesses might just push for legislation..

Speaking from experience, it functionally ruined them, at least the early macs -exact os/model unknown- we had (school computers well behind the curve and all). They’d need to be reformatted after. It would delete, then iirc just crash and you’d reboot into errors (my memory of this is spotty, it was a very long time ago)

I used to do that in the computer lab when I was supposed to be doing typing practice. Fucking hate typing “properly”.

Note: I am not a verifiable source, this is anecdata.

I do the same thing, but you do realize you do it -because- it’s a problem, right?

Like you shouldn’t need a separate email for “I want to buy this/sign up for this, but I know I’m going to get a fuckton of emails so I need to use this separate email address to protect my main one from junk”. That just shouldn’t be a thing.

That Moe never showed up in those communities or I might have stuck around! :p

I cannot roleplay (I’m really bad at being anyone but myself).

Therefore I need my character to be as close to me as possible (within limits ofc, like she doesn’t have to be human or anything).

Therefore, I ideally need someone who can’t stick with anything at all long enough to get good at it, but who is reasonably proficient, as a beginner/intermediate, with everything they have ever come across, even in passing. Bonus points for being mostly useless in a practical way, but having huge lore skill bonuses as a tradeoff from the multiclassing.

This multi class is exactly that. It’s all the hobbies I’ve picked up and bought supplies for and never did again. And like my supplies, you have to be cunning to use that hodgepodge to get something actually useful (barely related to the existing hobbies) done.

There’s a whole world of possibilities for how to run something like that and make it enjoyable (even if not always/often super useful - like buying all the equipment that doesn’t put you over encumbrance).

(I don’t think I’ve ever single-classed a campaign, I’ve always at least dual-classed, and often mixed-race too)

Or, and hear me out here…

Maybe this person deleted their content for some other reason. It happens all the time, I’ve come across gobs and gobs of deleted comments and that was well before the protests.

Sure more people deleted stuff because of the protests, but tons of people did so either way. I was one of them. My comments never stayed live for more than a week or two.

I’ve been seeing a lot of shit about google being evil lately… I’m actively transitioning off their products. I’ve now got Firefox on my phone (I fucking can’t do safari, it’s so trash), I’m off android (about a year now) which was super fucking difficult. iOS is much worse, and they aren’t that much better as a company, but it gets updates for more than 2 years..but I hear Linux phones are improving so that will probably be my next move.

My next step is getting rid of gmail which I’ve been on basically since it was launched.. that’s going to be painful.
