Slowly unsubscribe from things that aren’t worth your time, and remove apps and shortcuts to disrupt your unconscious muscle memory.

You can also fill that time with other things, it doesn’t necessarily have to be other social media :)

No problem! The thread is still active, it just takes me a bit of time to update with new suggestions since I like to update it everywhere at once.

I’ve added curling to this post, the sidebar, and under the sports topic on Piefed.ca

Eventually once the Lemmy software implements compatible topic lists, I might retire this post so that the community can keep it all up to date :)

Neat :D

That’s not the only feature: if you place a file named .XCompose in your home directory, you can add custom combinations! So, if I want to send a heart, I can just hit Compose < 3 and I will get a ♥. Besides emoji, I also find myself often looking up various arrows and punctuation: now I can simply hit Compose - > and get a nice → arrow quickly.

Definitely do not pay for a bloatware remove tool… That sounds like paid malware.

Also be careful with any advertisement that says it will remove bloatware. It’s likely also malware

There are some popular open source / source available scripts that are more reliable. Someone else mentioned one in this thread

From what I remember, they were going to “use AI” to handle moderation. It felt like a grift from the beginning

We have mandatory paid sick days, and while it’s not quite the same thing, it does simplify things for the workers. Instead of a patchwork of different laws and workplace rules that might let some people fall through the cracks, everyone knows that they have X number of days that they can use (with documentation). That’s what I thought the other user was referring to

This is one of the questions we asked on our census this year. We are still working on cleaning the data, and we may exclude additional responses if we identify more duplicates / errors, but here is a preview of those results:

It depends on the field and where you are in your career. From my university, it seemed like the computer science and business people needed to be on LinkedIn, while the other sciences did not. It also becomes less important as you progress in your career, since there will be better ways to share your experience

Thank you! :)

You can almost read the original prompt that they put in to the LLM to get that bio 😄

Fingerprint readers and touchscreens can be hit or miss for Linux support.

I think this is a list of supported readers. When you get a shortlist of devices you want to purchase, compare its fingerprint reader with this list: https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html

It made me think of this webcomic

…

Do the senior engineers NOT sign off on changes to systems that can take down the production servers? Even if we take out the LLM created code, this sounds like a bigger problem

Brushing is an actual scam / deceitful practice, which involves receiving items you didn’t order

It doesn’t usually happen with beans

If you want a version of this community that excludes company/legal/legislation news, there’s !tech@programming.dev

Neat, this has come a long way since I learned about these projects in school

Isn’t upscrolled similar to TikTok? If so, there is already a fediverse platform like it, made by the Pixelfed developer

Is this what you had in mind?

I didn’t know there was an RSS community for Bellingcat

This is nice, but I think it belongs in a different community like !pics@lemmy.world
