Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
Hello, smart people. Filling out an online form to volunteer for something, Firefox’s Facebook-fence icon appeared on the email field. Confused, I clicked on its question mark. On the next page, Mozilla wanted to sell me Firefox relay for $7/mo. (That’s their VPN + email masking + phone masking.) I used my yandex.ru email...
Your wording is rather poor and doesn’t read like you signed up for yandex instead and reads like using this email address reduced the Mozilla charge from 7 -> 0.
Perhaps, you shouldn’t make assumptions and you could have asked for clarification on what I was referring too.
Go have a look at their pricing for dongles and stuff for a computer.
I used to work there and my eyes watered when I told people the price. We had quite bougie customers who would drop over £100 on three cables and marching plugs.
It could be over a few months, like a new job where one day you feel like actually going to work thinking, hey I actually like these people and don’t mind working here....
I’ll preface by saying I have done some bad things I’m not proud of in life.
I was an failure relative to my peers and just never felt like I would progress, so I did things to people I am not proud of doing in times of need.
One of these came back to bite me when I started a new job at the same place as two people I’d wronged. Suffice to say I was recognised and one of them made a complaint.
So during my training, the last week, I was taken aside and confronted by HR and subsequently canned. I was canned for discrepancies in my application as they could hardly can me on hearsay.
Well, that spurred me to apply for a job, not my ideal job, at a better company. Which to cut this short basically enabled me to grow as a person, get a neurodivergent diagnosis with medication. Re-train and now I work in my dream field.
The moral is good things happen to bad people i guess.

There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?...
Although I oppose drone strikes and Obama was the king of them, this fella was in Yeman at the time which is a bit different than wigging off your citizens on home soil.
Why does China always get these kind of comments. I’m from the UK and I have seen my country and the USA do more to destabilise the world than China ever does?
Sure china is fucked if you live there and they have too much power with the manufacturing, but I’m genuinely curious as to why Reddit and Lemmy really like to shit ok china when we most likely live in countries with just as dubious morals.
Yes in that country and often with act of rendition.
Again, what are they doing on a global scale? Selfish or not m, what goes on in China has little effect on me, but when countries like mine and the USA invade counties under false pretences and people then set off bombs in my country then that does effect me.
All I’m saying is we seem to throw a lot of stones from inside our glass houses.
You don’t believe that the USA and other counties are working on the same thing?
You don’t think there might be articles in China right now about the CIA and there drone swarms?
If I recall the USA literally murders people with drones and a certain level of collateral damage is acceptable. Or that we dropped two nukes on a country as a flex to Russia.
We littered Laos with enough bombs that people still die today.
All I am saying is we should maybe throw less stones from our glass houses.
Dude the CIA and GCHQ were found to be spying on their own citizens too.
Like shit I get it china bad but also we are bad too. It’s insane all the posts of avoid Chinese tech as they spy, but it’s cool to buy this American tech as the cia are privacy advocates just like apple. Ffs.
The first actual response with the actual crimes that china commits.
I guess it depends on current morals or the uk of the past. After all we did colonise half the world.
Currently we have some pretty draconian views and removal of a lot of rights. Plus the way the government thinks about ex-pats (sorry I meant immigrants, ex-pat is when we go elsewhere). We invaded Iraq under false pretences.
I just don’t see how we are so hypercritical of one country and any view that questions it is usually (not here,today) condemned as a plant, shill, or Winnie the Pooh himself.
Maybe not but the cia have definitely renditioned people during the war on terror.
The CIA have certainly destabilised more governments that any other organisation I can think of.
I’ve said in another comment that yes what goes on it chinas bordered is fucked up and should be condemned. What I’m talking about is all the hate about the stuff outside it’s borders when to my stupid Brian they don’t do too much.
What is it with you people that are quick to criticise other places but will not take criticism of their own country.
To be abundantly clear, I am not trying to defend China at all, fuck them and their treatment of Uyghurs and citizens in general etc. I am merely trying to find out why China is in vogue, why not NK, Russia, Syria, Sri Lanka etc.

I’m in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys.

I’m one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same...
I have the same view. People commit crime as they feel they’re not benefiting from the “social contract”, as in it pays to be a civil member of society. Well if you’re not getting what you need then you have to get it elsewhere and hence crime.
I regularly tricked the scales on supermarkets by scanning similar weight items and bagging the expensive thing whilst scanning the cheaper one. Or claiming orders didn’t arrive so I could get it again and then return one. Same for order something expensive and saying they sent a cheaper version. Sony XM4 for cheap for example.
To even more elaborate and long winded scams which I won’t detail here.
Like you, I have had some lucky breaks and I am doing better now, but I will still take what I can from massive corporations as in my eyes, whether right or wrong, they do it to.
Give people a chance at a life and they won’t be criminals. Well most won’t.
How is stealing a product any different than wage theft from large corporations, families like the sackler being literal drug dealers and paying a fine, etc.
In my og comment I clearly stated that when people feel like society isn’t working for them then what use is following the rules.
FYI: It’s easier to get some XM4s to sell for bills and food than to steal a whole food shop.
The way I see life is we are here by chance for a limited time. Imma do what I have to do survive, but not just survive but enjoy it too.
I have this view for all laws really. I don’t not kill people because it’s illegal, more I don’t want to kill people and if I did then still the cons far outweighs the pros. It’s just a matter of choosing where you draw the line.
I stopped buying from Amazon a while back. The service went downhill quickly and the prices are not really competitive anymore, and for the few items they are cheaper I’d rather source it from a more reputable company than give my money to these fucks.
As a software developer what are the rules about implementing the same methods that you learned at work in any of your own future or side projects?
Like if the main engineer creates lots of really useful hooks etc. is it stealing if you use them outside of work?...
