  • What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use?

    Jump

  • I'm not trying to be rude here, but please read my post. Paying to remove ads is part of the ad business model. Anyone who pays to remove ads means the developer profited from ads.

  • Would you be buried alive for 48hr for a million dollars?

    Jump

  • Sounds good to me. I'll have friends and family watch from the outside so I'll be confident it isn't some kind of ruse.

  • Developers should make money. Just not with ads.

  • That would be a good idea too.

  • Almost all of Syncs business model is ads. The free version has ads and almost everyone who pays for it is doing so to remove ads. Which is just rewarding the implementation of ads. I also disagree with the concept of profiting from free user content with ads like Reddit does. Which was Reddits primary goal of preventing third party apps. They wanted the ad revenue themselves instead of third parties getting the ad revenue.

    The only way this can be acceptable is to not have a free ad version and only have a paid version. That way you are paying for software and not paying to remove ads or profiting from free user content.

  • What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up?

    Jump

  • No reason in particular. I can't get interested in video games anymore. So I have unintentionally replaced my free time playing video games with reading. If I could manage to get interested in a video game then I would still play it.

  • Why is Anonymous's official YouTube Channel full of Right wing and Russian propaganda?

    Jump

  • This is what I clicked this thread to say. It doesn't make any sense. There is no official "anonymous" organization so there can't be an official Youtube channel.

  • What's special about Misskey that Mastodon doesn't have?

    Jump

  • It seems to be primarily for a Japanese audience.

    Applying for a job where the scale is lower than I currently make. Is it ok to bring that up in negotiations?

    Jump

  • I think that is a bit of a gamble. They might not want to hire you because it will be clear that you are looking to be promoted as soon as possible. Then they will have to go through the hiring process again to fill the position you just left.

    If I were desperate for a job and needed this position I'd probably claim I was making around the top end of the positions salary range rather than much more. Then just deal with it until I can move up. In an ideal world I'd be applying for a job that is already at my current level with appropriate pay.

    Jump

  • Are you overqualified for the position or are they just paying lower than market rate? Or perhaps were you previously making more than market rate? It's always a good idea to try and get as high of a salary as you can, but jobs are going to be listed for a specific range for a reason. For example if it is a junior developer position they won't want to hire a senior developer regardless of whatever reasons led to that person applying. The risk is high that this person won't stick around in the junior position because they are too experienced.

  • Should there be Lemmy user awards?

    Jump

  • Personally I'd rather it wasn't a thing. Regardless of how insignificant and "just for fun" such things are we inevitably get into a situation where people are only doing things to be awarded. It corrupts the incentives of participating in discussion. The same problem would exist if we had karma on Lemmy.

  • How is woke a religion?

    Jump

  • I see. If someone is yelling obscenities at you then its probably ok to yell at them too although I wouldn't bother personally. I don't think this poll can mean anything though as I imagine everyone has different understandings of what a "speaker" is and is doing.

  • How is it that we hate the taste of coffe and still drink it?

    Jump

  • It seems taste buds vary a lot too. 😅

  • How is woke a religion?

    Jump

  • What does it mean to "Shout down a speaker"? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?

  • How is it that we hate the taste of coffe and still drink it?

    Jump

  • The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee tastes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.

  • What made you determined to leave Twitter?

    Jump

  • I don't recall exactly when it was, but quite awhile ago I saw Twitter transitioning from a place people use internet aliases to talk about niche things into a place where official organizations like local city governments, news channels and even the fire station to put out information. As well as people using real identities including celebrities. That's when I bailed. It might have been around 2012? I don't know for sure. The same problem happened on Facebook.

    Using these websites as a place to do serious things feels absurd to me. Like trying to have a discussion about politics on a neopets forum. Except it is a neopets forum that is mostly porn. At least Facebook doesn't have porn, but I don't like the idea of real identities online. Real identities are for offline in my opinion. Official organizations should use dedicated sites for their purpose. Or a self hosted mastodon instance where they don't allow sign ups if they really want this format of delivery.

  • What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up?

    Jump

  • I started reading regularly. Been doing it for a few years now. I think it was exactly what I needed in my life. I pretty much cut off playing video games and replaced it with books. 👍

  • The amount of spam texts I get from Republican campaigns

  • How is this not illegal, but sending spam emails is? What a messed up world.
