  • GrapheneOS for now until Liberux NEXX becomes a thing or whatever linux phone with good enough security, privacy, and hardware. I'm most hopeful for liberux due to the hardware and the desktop mode so you can use it like a PC.

    Thank you

  • I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions)

  • OP you are now a grey rock until you can get out. Good luck, if you have great worker protections as an EU worker, even better, just do your job, keep your head down. You can choose how you respond mentally and how it affects you. Don't try to control what you can't control. Take up mindfulness and meditation and a side of therapy if you need to while you work on getting a better job in the EU.

  • I just manually search tenor.com or whatever gif site and send a link or download and send as an attachment. Annoying extra step but I'm using futo due to privacy/degoogle, so I don't mind the extra work.

  • Yes, hiring is really at such a bad state right now that it's not worth my time filling out another application through Workday, ICIMS, Taleo, ADP, eightfoldAI, OracleCloud, SuccessFactors, ADP, those stupid slow application chatbots that ask you one question at a time while and make you wait an excruciating amount of time while it loads the next questions (seriously who thought that making an application form into a chat bot questionnaire was a good idea, that PM should fired and blacklisted), and all the horrible ATS I have yet to encounter.

    • Why waste my time when I can apply for more jobs without the headache?
    • Workday is currently under investigation for AI bias.
    • I've applied to 1000+ jobs globally over the last year and haven't had a single interview through a company that uses a shitty ATS.
    • I wouldn't want to work for a company that uses Workday, etc and disrespects its prospective employees.
    • Companies that use applicant friendly ATS like BambooHR, Ashby, Greenhouse, Workable, Lever, BreezyHR, LinkedIn Easy Apply, are more likely to value my skillset, are the ones actually interviewing me, and I would rather work for those companies too.

    There's an entire subreddit dedicated to how shitty the job search is right now, a lot of gems like this to commiserate in our trauma bonds.

    is that hiring really at such a bad state right now

    Yes, people are losing their houses, cars. I had to move back in with my retired parents. Tons of long term unemployment. Job posts get 100+ applicants in the first day and thousands of applicants in the first week.

    They’re Skipping Car Payments; That’s The Final Warning Sign

    Trump tarriffs, Muskrat DOGE layoffs, several years of tech layoffs and LLM induced layoffs. Its rough out there.

  • For medical reasons I can only have decaf. Still try to make time for a good cup (of decaf) after dinner.

    Jump

  • I get that 'decaf' taste if I over extract. Too hot of a brew or too much time. Just last night I did decaf in an aeropress, 30 seconds at around 90°C (I let the kettle go longer than usual and was too lazy to cool the water down to ideal temp) and it brought out that undesirable flavor.

    Whereas brewing the same beans at 75-80°C for 1-2 mins I don't get that flavor profile at all.

    If you are new to brewing decaf I recommend under extracting it. Generally all decaf are much easier to extract. So this usually means lower temps, coarser grinds or less water. I didn’t believe it until I tried it and now I love decaf even more

    Ever since I read that comment, I gave decaf another go and have been very pleased. Been drinking one cup of coffee in the morning and a cup of decaf each night.

    Ive had the best and most consistent experience with Illy decaf espresso ground coffee (in the round blue and silver aluminum cans) and roasted to order decaf green beans from my local roaster, also espresso grind. Brewing in an aeropress for around 30 seconds and 75-80 °C

    I haven't had any good experiences with pourover decaf in those single serve pourover packets, tried maybe 20 different brands from specialty gourmet decaf to cheap 7 eleven finds.

    Edit: I also tried taking the ground decaf out of those single serve pourover packets, and brewing in the aeropress but that didnt improve the flavor. So the beans and decaf process has to be a factor, and not just the brewing process.

  • What to look for when buying coffee machines ?

    Jump

  • Second this. Get an aeropress, a burr grinder that can go down to espresso fine grind (or find a local roaster that will roast and grind your beans to your liking), a thermometer, and a scale.

    Skip the machines that can break down and are expensive to replace or hard to clean.

    Edit: If you decide to go with the aeropress, I'd recommend getting one of these flow control caps. A lot of recipes for the 'inverted method' of brewing deal with balancing the aeropress upside down and messing around with hot coffee sludge. Just get one of these instead of doing anything inverted and risking burning yourself or spilling hot coffee sludge everywhere.

    I've tried every way to make coffee at home and aeropress is my favorite (over moka pot, french press, pour over, Mr Coffee, espresso, nespresso, keurig, turkish, etc)

  • Watch out for proton phishing emails

    Jump

  • Its possible some wires got crossed behind scenes, some database/software mixup.

    Maybe email proton support if you're concerned? I've had some similar mixup happen with banking and they got it all sorted after I complained (I was getting emails intended for someone else).

    Edit: either way, I think you should let them know in case its phishing or something broken on their end.

  • That is their official email address. Did you make an Alias or something and you forgot?

  • I've been sleeping on decaf

    Jump

  • This is my local coffee roaster, there's 30 different raw beans to choose from. You choose your roast (and grind if you want) and in about 10-15 mins you have freshly roasted coffee made to order. They usually have 2 different decaf options to choose from and they definitely changed my opinion about decaf, best I've ever had.

  • Running Plasma instead of Gnome for the first time in years

    Jump

  • As a new linux user I was overwhelmed by plasma and all the choices. I much prefer an OS and DE that feels like it isn't there and gets out of my way. It was all a bit too distracting, so I went back to Gnome like DEs (Cinnamon and now Cosmic).

    Something like your suggestion, with basic settings first and then a deeper layer or toggle for advanced settings would have kept me on the platform longer.
