Just a heads up for anyone moving to new instances, though you can migrate your community subscriptions, any subscriptions to communities hosted on Lemmy.ee will break as well because they’ll no longer exist. Keep an eye out for where they end up so you can update accordingly.

Now that lemm.ee is shutting down, where are people moving to? I don’t want to move to world or ml, but a lot of others feel too nitch to be federated with a lot of things.

I think part of the reason that many Americans have the mindset they do is because the US thrived after WW2 by not having any large scale infrastructure damage. War torn areas force people to become more caring and work together. Being isolated and never having directly experienced war caused a reinforcement of exceptionalism and individualism. I think a war on its soil would do a large amount to change peoples mindsets.

Edit: just a reminder unpopular opinions should be upvoted.

I once heard “to keep your tailgate from being stolen” but that seems like it’d be a rare case.

So this may be the wrong place to ask, but I’m curious if anyone has ever heard of headhunters that work for a candidate? Almost every recruiter and firm that I’ve seen only works on behalf of a company, or only cares if you match a role that they’re searching for.

I’ve always wondered if there are services were people will search on your behalf. Paid is fine as it is a pain now with everything being distilled down with AI.

I’ve seen 4 site on FB (I know I know) all offering the same exact item (a mag safe adjustable phone stand that can clip to things or has a tripod and adjusts). They are literally all the same thing for the same price. I would assume they’re from the same manufacturer. So how can I find out which is the real source, or does it matter and just pick one.

So I’m looking for a new set of beard/other clippers as my current one finally fell apart after almost 20 years. I’m looking for a professional, corded one that you can put different size guards on. So Lemmy Men, what are you using?

So I’ll be traveling in such a way that I’ll be crossing the US border. I want to take a burner phone so I can wipe it, or have innocuous enough data. The problem: all my passwords are stored in a password manager that uses 2FA tied to my primary phone which will be sitting at home (along with other sites that use 2FA tied to authenticators on my phone).

So remembering passwords is out. And not having access to 2FA presents a catch-22. So what’s the best way to approach that?

I’d like to join you guys on your side of the pond, but i need to look for an in. Im willing to figure out the legalities, etc, but first and foremost I’d need a job. Do you guys have any suggestions for job boards to use that focus on EU countries? Specific focus in the technical field is a plus.

What age would you choose? Mentally you still keep growing and you keep your normal life span. Also, what age are you currently?

I’ve seen some friends that keep their places like caves; all curtains and blinds closed with maybe some lights on. Some even going so far as to put up foil and completely blocking out light. I like having blinds and curtains open with maybe just a sheer curtain to diffuse the light but I enjoy it being bright. So how do you like your space lit with natural light?

Has it also been affecting the price of chicken? I know that egg prices were a sticking point from the election so there’s a focus on that, but if it’s an avian flu that’s affecting chickens, would that also cause the price of any chicken product to go up? I feel like I haven’t heard anything around meat prices going up.

In the series, corporations get a bailout when things get bad, collude to make it worse with profits over people and then basically buy off world governments in a reverse bail out to take control of the system. With a “Corporate Congress” and all people having a “life debt”.

Oh, and the time travel aspect of it is pretty cool too.

I’ve seen neighborhoods that advertise as “active adult living” and are 55+ only. Given that age is a protected class, how can that do that? How is that not the same as an “active white living” community that bans other races?

We’re going broad with this one given the population and the size.

Some ideas are:

• You branch off into another timeline and your actions make no difference to the previous timeline
• You’ve already taken said actions but just didn’t know about it so nothing changes
• Actions taken can have an effect (so you could suddenly erase yourself if you killed your parents)
• Only “nexus” or fixed events really matter, the timeline will sort itself out for minor changes
• something else entirely

Did you try to erase all existence of your past? Or do you own it as if it were just another chapter of your life? Or something else entirely?

You always hear the phase “9 to 5” and also the song with the same name. Assuming you include 1 hour worth of breaks (30 minute lunch and two 15 minute breaks), you’re only working for 7 hours a day which comes up to 35 hours a week.

Now it feels like you have to work 8 hours a day (for a total of 40 hours of actual work), plus your other time off meaning you’re really there for 9 hours each day (for a total of 45 hours). Am i looking at that wrong, or did expected times change, and if so, when?

I know that recently Spotify requires a credentials.json file and not just a user name and password. I can’t seem to find a method though that works in creating that file. I’ve tried librespot and librespot-auth, both of which should expose themselves as a speaker on my network for Spotify to cast too but it doesn’t show up. I’ve tried them both in a WSL instance and compiled directly for Windows with no luck.

Is there another way I’m missing to generate those credentials? I have a valid account, so I know there’s not an issue there.

No pun intended
