I cleaned up when I moved, so the oldest gadget I have right now is a 15 year old MSI laptop, still happily running with linux.

I was fresh out of college so was very susceptible to anyone calling for an interview invite. Got a call from a company I didn’t recognize and I was too innocent to not question how they even got my number. I dressed up and everything, brought my resume, etc. When I arrived, there was a bunch of us and then there was a presentation.
Yep, you guessed it, it was an MLM. It was the mid 2000s, so it wasn’t really well known as an MLM or pyramid scheme at the time. Hell, I couldn’t even understand why I was sitting through a presentation and not doing an interview. I realized it wasn’t a job when they started asking for money to commit. Barely 20 me still didn’t realize it’s a scam, but fortunately I literally had no money so couldn’t offer anything either way lol. After a lot of prodding, they finally let me go if I wrote down the names and number of 5 people I know. Then I realized that’s how they got my number. Someone in my circle went through the same thing and gave my contact info away.
I noticed I’ve been using “for sure” on in-person conversations often. Not on chats and comments for some reason though.
The average Lemming has the nuance of a wrecking ball
He’s not wrong lol. I can imagine how much worse it is as an admin. It’s unfortunate that Tesseract is going down with the ship. I remember I was among the first to provide feedback when he first posted it on lemmy.
If you’re on desktop, Alexandrite is great. The 2-column view really maximizes screen real estate.
Not much really. Separate profile on your machine or run it in a VM. Then maybe use a vpn. But that doesn’t really hide anything from zoom itself. Maybe use a throwaway email.
The measures you’ve taken are more than enough for your threat model. I think it now depends on your data hygiene. Weakest link kinda thing, where it doesn’t matter if your home network is locked down and you use privacy friendly services if you’re careless with your data anyway; which I assume you aren’t.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know of good single-use virtual credit cards. Specifically for online purchases like flights or hotels where you can limit the card to one time use or a max limit?English

Fediverse@lemmy.world•I want a community to exist like 4chan greentext hereEnglish
2·9 months agoThere’s a 4chan equivalent that uses activitypub, I just forgot the name.
Yeah iirc Hyundai/Kia are one of the worst in the car industry when it comes to handling user data.
It does say app doesn’t collect any data which is a good sign. Obviously not 100% guaranteed but it’s in the right direction. Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll give it a try.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my accountEnglish
75·9 months agoBlows my fucking mind they can’t just deny a tranaction
They can, they just won’t because of those juicy overdraft fees.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which actor/actress are you unable to dissociate from one of his/her role?English
2·9 months agoThe same for me, but with Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never see him disappear into a role for some reason.

5·10 months agoI’m lucky that my city has a true IMAX theater and unlucky that it doesn’t have reserved seating, in this day and age. So I have to arrive an hour early just so I can stand in line and get a good seat.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What's a good instance to be on at the moment?English
9·10 months ago.zip has the closest instance policies to .ee. A lot of .ee refugees moved there (me included). Some also moved to piefed if you’re considering that.
I don’t think taller trucks make you less exhausted. It boils down to how comfy the seats are. And cars and smaller SUVs typically have more comfy seats, unless you have a newer truck that boasts a car-like ride and comfort.
As for tips: Check out some videos on how to properly adjust your driving position. Get something for lumbar support if your car doesn’t have it. And take breaks, don’t force yourself to drive all the way in one go.
Every few hours or so, refresh the air in the cabin by opening a window for a few seconds.
