They’re trying to make it a thing here. I refuse to participate.

I’m paying for a menu that has your decent wage built in already, I’m not gifting free money on top for just… doing your job?

Also wtf servers in places that do tip… you turn my words in to an entry in a tablet (or perhaps a piece of paper), then carry the food that other people created / prepared / transported / cooked all of 30 steps from the kitchen to my table and expect 20% of the bill? Insanity.

This is absolutely fascinating to me… That someone would go out of their way to make a public profile for people to view, but then expect to be notified whenever someone views it.

What’s your goal with knowing who looked? Is it so you can return the favour and if it’s a profile you find attractive start hitting them up for drinks after work? If it’s a more powerful person in your industry, to start weaseling an invite to the exclusive country club they are part of? To see if it’s some rube you can sell a box of widgets to? To climb the corporate ladder by mimicking their achievements?

FYI I just looked at your Lemmy profile. And I reckon I might do it again in a moment. Probably even take a screenshot… for later.

You analogy is terrible.

A better one is handing out business cards everywhere you go but then expecting to know who looked at them and when.

Are you in marketing? This smacks of tracking links on emails so you can start ringing any customer who clicked on your spam because now they’re a “lead”.

Firefox. And Thunderbird. And donate to Mozilla.

Don’t really see the point in using a fork that, by the time you boil it down, just takes Firefox’s work and then releases it later.

I want a Google and Apple alternative and I’d rather support it at the top of the chain.

You think a public LinkedIn profile - full of information curated and posted by the user with the full intention that it be seen by the public - is the equivalent of a private residence and personal phone line?

I used to use it when confirming contact names and positions for people who requested work from our company.

But all I want is to see Joe Bloggs (ah yes, he spells it with two Gs) works at Widget Co, and they are indeed the technical manager. I’m not there to make friends or recruit people so I don’t want them seeing I’m looking them up.

I’m here too - better make it a bakers dozen 😎

Many years ago I did post mix installs. Because we were subcontract, it was not unusual to install a system for one company, then replace it under the banner of another company, and then rip that out and install another system on behalf of the first company again.

I can think of at least 3 different venues in our CBD that I swapped like that.

What it did was make me real good at ensuring anything I installed was easy to follow and work with afterwards… Cause it was probably going to be me again lol

That’s some vintage memeing

God I loved that book series.

God I hated that TV series.

I have a slightly unique version of this.

When I was in high school, one of the maths teachers had printed out pi to 100+ digits on tractor feed paper (FYI I am old) and run it around the top of the classroom as a nerdy bit of cornice or whatever.

Because I was so insanely clever(…), I decided to memorise pi to 20 digits to use as my school login password, being about the maximum length password you could have.

Unbeknownst to me, whoever printed it had left one of the pieces of the tractor feed folded over on itself when they hung it up, leaving out a section of the first 20 digits.

I used that password all through school, thinking i was so clever. Until i tried to unrelatedly show off my knowledge of pi and found I’d learned the wrong digits.

I still remember that password / pi to 20 wrong digits. On the one hand, what a waste of brain space. On the other hand, pretty secure password I guess?

It’s what Wunderlist used to be like before Microsoft bought them and buggered it up, but keeps getting improvements.

I’ve always thought that mold is the fungus, and to mould is to shape.

I actually do this too. Not because I think it’s correct as such, but because that way I am consistent and I know what I’m talking about when I read back previous text that I’ve written.

I remember it by Mold = simplified English = simple organism.

I’ve been using File Explorer since 2012. It’s straight up the best file manager on Android, especially when you use SMB and SFTP. Multi window makes moving things around easy as, and the built in text editor works a treat. Being able to share images from apps to FX’s “Save As” option is awesome to. It means every app can save where you want.

No idea why it isn’t more popular compared to the alternatives.

I use hysteresis daily… Refrigeration.

The irony of an American lecturing another country on finding an alternative to shooting.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was always best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

The first time I learned of its American naming was the classic “pound quake 3 arena” audio clip from the #quake3arena IRC channel.

“Uhhhhhh pound quake 3 arena”
“… What the hell was that?”

… And my axe!

Edit: I said the funny line, updoots to the just please
