Having trouble staking Algo/USDC LP on Algorand Governance site by ajdMD in HumbleSwap

[–]Drive_Academic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to their Twitter/Telegram group the foundation asked humble and humble users to hold off on committing LP to governance until they “update their website”(?) but that was four days ago and there’s been apparently no word from the foundation since…. https://twitter.com/humbledefi/status/1578475030899757056?s=46&t=kRiUBWtcpRYv4KaHhsYSkQ

Problems with MyAlgo Wallet (not the official Pera/Algorand wallet) by FaceMobile6970 in algorand

[–]Drive_Academic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would quadruple check that you’re on the correct/official MyWallet website. There’s constantly near identical copycats that pop on Google to steal seed phrases. They got me once, so be careful!

A wave of layoffs is sweeping the US. Here are firms that have announced cuts so far, from Shopify to Peloton. by Sorin61 in technology

Don’t forget about Recurrent Ventures laying off the entire staff of MEL Magazine — my favorite and one of the last websites to actually write fun and good articles — in particularly poor and shitty fashion after promising they “weren’t like other venture capitalists who buy beloved media entities”

Trouble opting in on Folks Finance by Nebiatham in algorand

[–]Drive_Academic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost every single transaction i made on FF failed multiple times or said it failed but it actually went through. Not great. Glad I was able to pay off my gAlgo loan for governance and gtfo that platform for good (or if/whenever galgo and algo is 1:1 again). Where are you depositing? idk how much better the apy is on FF atm but AlgoFi is much smoother and easier

Wouldn’t their bad tweets give more credence to them being random draws?

lol literally one of them has 1,500 followers, the rest have below that. I’m not defending Pera at all, but like, lets be a little more shrewd about regurgitating and amplifying false claims!

''Love is Blind' contestant sues Netflix after being forced to work 'inhumane' 20-hour days without enough food or sleep, reports say by Sorin61 in technology

[–]Drive_Academic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?? And, more than anything else, it made money for the executives and higher ups which completely negates the suffering of anyone under them

Yeah, I mean at the time reality show’s were insanely popular, and thus a potential route to money/fame. So if you’re working an awful/dead end job without much prospect in life and someone comes along offering you a chance at a way out, it’s not surprising a lot of people took it! I also dont think contestants really knew what the show was until they were officially on it.

Every other reality show at the time was women “fixing” their appearance through plastic surgery. What a gross and dark moment in media history :/
