vinnymac,

This reminded me of my manager from a couple years ago. They too had cancer, and decided that they’d become a workaholic rather than take the time off that they needed. It also meant they expected everyone they worked with, to work just as hard. With just as many long hours as them.

It was a living nightmare, and ended very poorly. It would be nice if people had mandatory time off when experiencing such trauma in life.

vinnymac,

As someone who’s currently managing a team, when skip levels try to circumvent me, it is the absolute worst.

vinnymac,

You can modify exif data easily, but yea I think this could be verified in a myriad of ways to legitimize the photo.

vinnymac,

As someone with immunocompromised family members this is great. I suspect this would be like an air quality alert in your area.

I imagine a text message could be available for your airport letting you know that Covid levels are high, allowing you to reschedule your flight or change your plans.

vinnymac,

For signing without a proper Macintosh, you can use a CI/CD service for free since your tool is open source.

For example, CircleCI offers a free tier that allows you to configure a macOS executor, where signing should be possible.

Plus you can use it to test & build your other targets as well. GitHub Actions and several other services offer similar capabilities.

vinnymac,

I think due to our federated nature here we likely have a bit of an echo chamber effect where we are more likely to agree with each other. For starters you’re more likely to be using Lemmy if you understand tech.

Sharing these same thoughts on pretty much any platform with more active users, and I expect we’d see a lot of blood thirsty capitalists poor into the comments.

How safe is Lemmy?

Overall, I really like Lemmy, and the communities therein. There do seem to be some more radical takes on this platform than I’m used to. I haven’t heard of anyone being swatted or anything like that on here (or even actively doxxed), but there do seem to be more radical takes that what I’m used to on other platforms. I...

vinnymac,

I was discussing this in another thread, this is a bit of an overstatement.

While logs may track what you view on some instances, the data on who views what is not public and not accessible to anyone except perhaps some instance admins depending on how they store logs.

Votes are public on Lemmy, and I think long term that’ll be beneficial for the platform and users.

vinnymac,

Wouldn’t be surprised to find out this was simply a marketing post for the film.

vinnymac,

Seeing Mastodon’s blog post on Threads removed all optimism I had stored in this area.

vinnymac,

What’s the playtime on this bad boy?

vinnymac,

If post views are public that’s a fairly poor implementation on the developers part. I’m sure it will change over time.

E.g. someone using your account to view illegal content in a community you are not a member of, and you being held accountable.

vinnymac,

I was just providing a scenario that came to mind. I am sure many exist outside the one I described.

Nobody has mentioned crime, so I am not sure where that came from. Accountability can come in many forms, and often on the internet users will be banned or excluded based on their direct actions. However, if views were public, it would be trivial to setup a bot to autoban users from communities before they even join, based solely on what they’ve seen.

vinnymac,

You’re reading too much into my comment.

I am a software engineer, and am always thinking of user experiences in my day job. This is simply the scenario that popped into my mind, but many do exist.

Besides hacking, phishing scams, and pranks. Users trick others all the time into viewing content they didn’t mean to view.

My concern isn’t so much that this can happen at all, but rather that if views were public, how it’d be trivial to write software that auto bans users based on those views. Without great moderation tools, and petitioning it wouldn’t scale well.

vinnymac,

As I’ve explained elsewhere, this is just what popped into my mind.

Many scenarios exist where you view content you did not intend on viewing.

For example, have you ever been Rick Rolled?

vinnymac,

What do you think is the most valuable coin that could possibly be in there?

Also what is the least valuable thing that makes a coin-like sound?

vinnymac,

You could power them however you need to. However, it’s common in this case to power the drives using one of the headers on the motherboard.

You could use one of the USB headers, as long as you find one that’s compatible with your motherboard and the right number of drives.

The motherboard might even have a dedicated header specifically for this purpose, in which case ASRock may sell the adapter you’re looking for.

vinnymac,

I’d be down to test out the app.

vinnymac,

Rather than being on a niche discussion thread online, it would be great if classrooms across the globe taught this tip as a practical skill to have instead. I bet it would go a long way if everyone had the chance to use a fire extinguisher in action before a fire broke out.

vinnymac,

A paper trail for your master password, somewhere secure is good. Password manager companies have been breached in the past (see LastPass), so rotating your passwords and signing up for breach alerts will help save you from disaster.

vinnymac,

Long term I could see this become more like multireddits. We could tag a group of communities, and then filter by tag.

For example, you could have a garden tag that covers communities for composting, zeroscaping, mycology, trees, vegetables, CSAs, farming, recipes etc.

vinnymac,

Yea, usually in open source projects, project management gets ignored more than it necessarily should.

A roadmap detailing goals and outlining MVPs would be very helpful to developer, albeit it can take away from the excitement of not done correctly. Determining low hanging fruit and work that is good for new contributors early one can make a big difference. Allowing those with seniority to tackle the important and hard core featureset while still getting fixes and small improvements out the door.

vinnymac,

I didn’t know this, just wanted to say thank you!

vinnymac,

This is common enough for me, that I feel the english language needs a good new word to describe it.

I asked ChatGPT what word it would use to describe this experience, and here is what it came up with.

Certainly! I propose the word "lexidaze" (pronounced lex-ih-daze) to describe the feeling you've described. Here's the definition and usage example:

Word: Lexidaze

Part of Speech: Verb

Definition: The act of reading a book while being completely absorbed in the words, but failing to comprehend or process their meaning, resulting in a disorienting feeling of confusion about the plot. Example: As I delved deeper into the novel, I became so engrossed in the sentences that I started to lexidaze, losing track of the storyline and finding myself perplexed by the events unfolding before me.

I hope this newly created word captures the essence of the experience you were looking to describe! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
