Sync’s ads can be turned off by paying a small fee.

zik,

The ads/subscription support the developer, who works on this as his full time job. This means we get a better app.

zik,

I’m fine with paying for a service I like and I did subscribe to reddit for many years. But even though I was a subscriber they cut off access to my apps. So screw them.

I understand that nothing’s free so I plan to donate to lemmy.world to help them with their costs.

zik,

I think that one’s quietly being shelved as well. With the budget shortfall there’s no way it could get funded.

Wife's boss is on a power trip. Is this legal?

My wife works in a restaurant, and the power-tripping manager has instituted a new policy where all shift changes must be approved by management. I think that is reasonable enough, but they’re also asking the originally-scheduled employee why they are switching shifts, then approving or denying based on the answer....

zik,

“Personal reasons”. If they continue to pry just say it’s extemely personal and hopefully they’ll back off.

zik,

Their wanting you in the office is about control - it’s nothing to do with productivity or any of the other excuses.

zik,

That’s the story they’re selling but I don’t think it really holds water. Sure, they’ll have to remove the fitout and upgrade the plumbing and that costs money but no more than anyone would expect when building apartments. Some office buildings won’t be suitable for residential use due to their shape and they obviously won’t be converted but most are suitable and they’ll be fine.

The business lobby pointing at the ones which are unsuitable and saying “but this whole thing is going to be impossible!” looks disingenuous to me. There are plenty of good options and there’s no reason to expect they won’t be converted.

I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?

To my knowledge there’s no stagnant water on my property, I’ve run water through all my ptraps, and I’m careful to not leave doors open. Yet at any given time there’s at least 3 in my house. I can’t sleep, i can’t sit on the couch, i can’t exist in the fear of being sucked dry....

zik,

Check your gutters to make sure they’re clear and there’s no standing water in them. It’s easy to miss it up there.

zik,

You’ll need a fairly high wattage resistor. That one looks like maybe 1W but it might be more.

My job incorrectly thinks I'm Native American, should I tell them?

I don’t want to dox myself, but I’ve been at my job for 5+ years. I guess either my boss or I fat fingered something while I was on boarding, cuz just now I was going over some paperwork and… As far as my job is concerned I’m Native American. I am very much white. Nobody ever brought it up....

zik,

I’m Australian and the one that really gets me is when Americans refer to indigenous Australians as “African American” because of their skin colour. They’re in no way from Africa or America, but nice job appropriating our native people.

zik,

It happens enough for me to have noticed it a few times. It probably helps if you work with Americans.

zik,

Not to mention that portland cement has severe environmental impacts of its own.

zik,

Let's hope he's not lactose intolerant

zik,

You do know that whole "Lemmy was created by Nazis" thing was just a story made up by one guy, right? I mean sure, Nazis exist but what they're done is effectively ban the entire world because Nazis exist in the world.
