  • I like how on Amazon, the "Rufus" thing always pops up over the stuff I'm trying to read.

    "How can I turn off rufus" didn't come up with anything except how to turn it off in the app, not on the website.

    I had to use Ublock Origin to select and block it.

  • I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only)

    Jump

  • Very overstable.

  • Several years ago, I found a 3.5" floppy in an old desk, so I wrote "(My company's product) Production backup - DO NOT LOSE" on the label, and then left it on the floor in a main hallway of our office.

    In my mind, it hopefully made a few people chuckle, but my real dream was that someone picked it up and tried to return it to the development team.

  • Meta Permanently Bans The Cradle in Latest Attack on Free Speech

  • The linked article in this post is from a pretty sketchy biased site, and you're right that they are using inflammatory language rather than accurate language. I'm no expert, but it sounds FB may have had a point blocking this account. I hate Facebook, but not because of this.

  • My wife, newly hired, was asked to un-blur her camera during a routine meeting to confirm her I9 information. This seems like a violation to me?

  • People are downvoting you, but you're correct. I don't work a particularly sensitive or interesting tech job, but we've had 2 candidates in the last year who were faking who/where they were. One had other people in the room feeding them answers. I'd expect weirdness in remote interviews as companies figure out how to navigate this.

  • I didn't want anyone to think I'm actually from that shithole state, Mississippi.

  • A Different Way of Measuring Time: Metric Time

    Jump

  • It's close enough that counting Mississippis is still roughly accurate.

    (for non-US people, we sometimes estimate seconds by counting 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi... just because it's a long word that takes about the right amount of time to say)

  • Mozilla wants you to love Firefox again

  • I think you misread that. This poster's experience isn't from 2016. They installed a program called "Outlook 2016" recently.

  • Just Switch Over

    Jump

  • heh. This reminds me of electric cars. I've been happily driving one for 9 years.

    Lots of people online and in person tell me "Electric cars aren't there yet. They won't work." Well, you must be correct then. I just handed down my first EV to my kid and bought a second one.

  • Former KY Gov. Matt Bevin's adopted son reportedly removed from abusive facility in Jamaica • Kentucky Lantern

  • I recently watched "The Program" on Netflix, about one of these alleged leadership academies that is really an abusive reform school. Almost all of them are run by an organization called WWASPS, and all of them are eventually shut down for abuse, neglect, and cruelty.

    I imagine it is tough for them to open new locations in US States due to past shutdowns, crimes, and lawsuits.

    A quick google search shows that this "Atlantis Leadership Academy" is also run by WWASPS.

  • Are your grandparents and parents nice or tolerant people?

    Jump

  • Agreed.

    My grandparents: Loudly racist

    My parents: Quietly racist

    Me: Thinking brain logical, but unconscious bias

    My kids: Man, my parent is racist.

    Good thinking, kid. Get better than me.

    Didn't we all do that when we stopped using Norton Anti-virus?

  • This reminds me that every night I set the alarm on the alarm clock next to my bed. I bought this alarm clock in 1991 in a Caldor store for less than $10. It has a little light bulb in it that I've changed 3 times.

    33 years. Not bad.

  • Dutch volleyball player Steven van de Velde on Paris Olympics team 8 years after child rape conviction

  • t wasn’t exactly rape either. She wanted him to do what he did. And age wasn’t completely clear.

    What a fucking gross thing to say. A 21 year old traveled to another country to have sex with a 12 year old. No.
