Lmao, cost of doing business.

I’ve been looking for work lately and getting told the same thing by the employment offices around me (job search assistance).

It feels so bizarre and pushy to email back after an application/interview. I showed up and did my part, the balls in their court now, I’m just waiting for a response. To reach out again seems like I’m leaning over their shoulder and asking ‘have you made a decision yet??? How about now, can I have a job now?’

They already know what I want, what I can offer, and how to reach me. What more do they need?

Is America great again yet?

I would definitely bring this up with the landlord; those locks need to be replaced if you can potentially trap yourself inside (or have someone else trap you inside). This is a pretty serious fire hazard for every tenant that has the same door locks.

If the landlord isn’t interested in it, talk to the local Fire Marshall.

It’ll only stock red white and black face paint though.

Just what people need; a false sense of security…

You don’t need an export button to save copies of a chat. Even if screenshots are blocked and you’re not running an OS that lets you bypass that, you can always take photos/video of the screen when all else fails.

Once you’ve sent data, it is no longer in your control. Messages, emails, posts, files, replies, encrypted end-to-end chat applications, all of it: Don’t send it if you don’t want someone somewhere to keep a copy. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t; it’s no longer in your control once it has left your device.

Cue dumbasses tossing their iphones in the toaster oven in 3… 2…

There are several front ends for lemmy. Some show more info than others.

I’ve had some good ones and bad ones. Most of the thin plastic film ones are a total waste of time, but there are some really nice gorilla glass screen protectors that will stand up to a whole lot of abuse.

Yeah, the screens are really tough, but they’re still glass. They will still break if you manage to drop/hit them at the right angle with enough force. A screen protector makes sure that force isn’t directly on the screen. A broken screen protector is much easier/cheaper to replace than the screen.

A really good one, applied properly; you should essentially never even notice is there, but adds an extra layer of protection for when you do inevitably drop the device.

Poor quality or poorly applied protectors can be a PITA; interfering with touch detection, air bubbles, scratching really easily, crappy glue, sometimes even comming off during use. You get what you pay for.

I haven’t really noticed scratches on any device with a decent protector in several years, but I don’t keep things like keys in the same pocket either. They aren’t perfect though; I’ve broken at least two phone screens through the glass screen protector without breaking the protector itself…

Still, better to have that little bit of extra protection.

🤷 Sometimes you need a recipe for muffins, other times you need ‘instructional videos’ on muff diving. Google is here to help, lmao

I still want to know why they show up on porn sites…

Cause I’m sitting here watching backdoor sluts 9 and thinking to myself; “you know who’d really enjoy this? Grandma.”

Good to see she included the Sheriff in her lawsuit. The state failed to press charges against him; despite him making first contact, threatening to pepper spray her, physically assaulting her himself, then ultimately giving the order for unidentified private security to remove her.

Perhaps he had some tariffs on them, but I’d think ~3500% would have made a headline or two before now

Your dreams will come true someday, Duck.

Don’t dead open inside.

The whole thing absolutely ridiculous; regardless of their meaning, it’s an incredibly flimsy reason to link him to gang activities and suspend due process.

I’m just annoyed at all the people and various news articles failing to talk about that and instead scream things like “Internet Sleuths determine image was photoshopped!!!” and go on about how the font means its fake, because somebody clearly opened it in MS Paint and added some shitty annotations before having Trump pose with the printout

The photo is stupid as hell, but saying they’re claiming the obviously added text ‘M S 1 3’ is what was actually tattooed on his hand is intentionally disingenuous.

It’s obviously an annotation to show what they think the symbols that are tattooed on those fingers mean.

Argue about the symbols and their meaning all you want; but please stop bringing up the added typeface like it has any sort of useful meaning in these conversations. It’s literally just subtitles.

Wtf. This breaks down to: “I’m arresting you because I don’t understand what you’re saying”

Not, “you’ve said something illegal”, nor any actual crime in any form. Arrested purely because the cops don’t speak the same language.

So If I don’t speak English/German, I’m not allowed to represent my opinions and values, nor support those that do?

We also aren’t talking about some totally unexpected language like idk, Belarusian. It’s Irish, while protesting infront of the Irish embassy… If the cops don’t understand, that’s on them

Where in the world did you get that idea?

VPNs serve three functions:

• add a layer of encryption so your local network operator and ISP can’t inspect your traffic, its contents and its true destination. (this is what OP is looking for)

• make it appear to the service you are connecting to, that you are connecting from a different location than where you actually are. (for example make Netflix think you’re in a different region to show you different content)

• provide secure access to private services that are not exposed directly to the Internet. IE securely connecting devices on seprate LAN networks together over the Internet via an encrypted tunnel. This is a VPNs true purpose and how they are primarily used in Professional/Comercial settings. (pretty much every corporation you’ve ever interacted with runs a VPN that connects its stores/warehouses/offices together)
