There are organizations that purport to be Yelp alternatives, such as Open Reviews Association, but I haven’t seen anything with widespread integration or adoption. It’s a cool idea nonetheless.

It’s a lot easier if you have an office job, even easier if you’re full time remote. My experience has been the first round is over the phone, in which case before the pandemic I used to just go find an empty meeting room or go out to my car to take the call. For in person interviews, I’ll “have an appointment” and take a half day.

IGFS when?

I can see how the “manual” workflow might be preferable to some, so I’d say this app is a good rec nonetheless, thanks!

One thing, though—I noticed East and West are flipped on the map, and I haven’t played with it enough to ascertain why that is. Is this by design?

EDIT: I guess this orientation makes sense if I orient myself facing south and looking up, in which case east would be to my left and everything inside the circle represents what is visible to me from that time and location, right?

I had found this app as well, but couldn’t get it to point & shoot so to speak. Seems I must manually tap and drag to pan around the map. Am I just doing it wrong?

I’ve seen this app recommended in other articles; unfortunately, it is unavailable on F-Droid, so I’ve yet to try it for myself, but thanks for the recommendation.

I’ve gotten pretty good results from Perplexity. The responses contain links to sources, Wikipedia style, which enables me to verify the answers in the AI generated response.

crowd sourced traffic info

I did not know that about Magic Earth. I’ll have to test that out on my next trip into the city.

Not strictly necessary, but being able to carry all my ISOs on a single USB key saves me from having to redo the whole USB Stick Writer thingy every time. Is there another tool out there that does this and makes it easy for the plebs like myself?

Gotcha. So is Wire like, the privacy seeker’s dream messaging app? No phone number, always-on encryption, zero-knowledge servers, open source… any caveats?

Interesting. Since the CEO of Telegram was arrested in France last month, I’ve read countless threads on c/privacy about which messaging app is best for privacy, and the two names that seem to come up the most are Signal and any Matrix client (e.g. Element); however, some commenters point out Signal’s phone number requirement and I forget what the other caveats are.

I don’t recall reading about Wire in any of those threads, but at a glance it seems to check all the boxes (open source, always-on encryption, etc).

Am I missing something? Any ideas why this app wouldn’t come up in such discussions?

EDIT: Hmm, I just went back and re-read a thread from last week, and Wire is actually mentioned. Maybe I’ve just always mentally skipped over it until now.

Sauce? I tried searching and couldn’t find anything (at least not on the first page of results). Thanks.

Why do people use crypto for what?

+1 for PrivateBin, which has a public instance at https://privatebin.io/.

On chromecast I’ve been happy with SmartTube, which includes sponsor block and still allows me to log into YT so I get to keep my history.

In Firefox I’ve just discovered an extension called Lib Redirect, which works for YT, Reddit, Twitter, and other sites. Highly recommend.

Leaked how? No good practice allows any way for a password to “leak”.

Suppose a social media website has a data breach.

What rotating passwords does is ensure people who don’t use a password manager either write their password down more and more frequently, or use a weaker password with some simple changing pattern that doesn’t add anything.

Okay, but suppose I use a password manager like Keepass, then does rotating my passwords not make me any safer in the event a social media website’s data is breached and ends up being sold off on the dark web?

What’s the logic behind this statement? I would’ve thought that if a website’s logins and passwords were somehow leaked, the more often I change my password, the less likely it is for the leaked password to still be usable by bad guys based on the shorter time horizon.

In addition to software solutions, how’s your hardware setup?

• How far are you from your mic? And where is your fan located relative to you and your mic?
• Do you have a dynamic mic or condenser mic? I’m not an expert, but I believe condenser mics tend to pick up more ambient noise from anywhere in the room compared to dynamic mics, which tend to more directional in nature.

Crosspost

Lemmy has actual cross posting ability, right?

Either way, that’s horrible. Here’s hoping they release the body cam footage so we can find out how that happened.
