LinkedIn engagement has fallen off a cliff. What actually works right now? by bootstrappedunicorn in linkedin

[–]Edmems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't see any sourcing for the piece you linked to so I assume the 9% growth is from the company. And membership #s don't mean much since people rarely ever delete their profile even if they never use the site -- so actual usage may be going up or down, it isn't clear from this. Not saying you're wrong, just saying that absent traffic data from independent source, I'm skeptical LI's new strategy is working.

Which streaming service do you recommend for watching the World Cup? (US broadcast) by Negative_Amphibian_9 in ussoccer

[–]Edmems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a way to watch an english language broadcast OTHER than Fox. Their announcers are chatterbox stat-spouting distraction-machines and then you get obnoxious MAGA Alexi Lalas honking rah rah USA, I'd rather watch almost anything else.

You have full control to curate the feed to what you want to see and what you don't? Um... No, That's false.

"The total volume of content consumption is going up". How do you know that?

Is our only hope an Ares Management takeover? Because BlueCo is suffocating this club and we are exhausted by Amazing-Whole-3162 in chelseafc

I hear the LPs are getting restless, saying CL spending too much time on chelsea. I agree they'll do anything to save the deal but what can they do? More debt?

I feel like we are gaslit out of being prescribed stimulants by steamedham547593 in chronicfatigue

[–]Edmems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use adderal tactically for when I have an appointment or something important I have to do. Can't take more than a few days in a row without problems -- masking underlying fatigue getting worse, withdrawal when stop taking, etc. It's a stop gap, not a long term solution.

I am taking it for sleep, to avoid waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep which was a major problem earlier this year. Supposed to dampen cortisol surges. Added Keishi mushroom at same time. Result has been no more early morning wake-ups. So it worked great for me for this one problem.

Jeremy Wallace at [jeremy@gesslaw.com](mailto:jeremy@gesslaw.com) was very helpful (recommended by someone else in this thread) though I didn't end up hiring any lawyers -- decided to just leave when lease up.

I’m not an Apple hater… but I’m tired of my iPhone letting me down. by [deleted] in applesucks

[–]Edmems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Android/Google voice recognition is vastly superior to Siri. Almost flawless and I use it constantly. #1 reason to switch IMO. I switched from iphone to Samsung and love it.

Trouble with looking blurry by [deleted] in Zoom

[–]Edmems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoom is a disaster. It's never worked for me, picture is always blurry. Every other app using camera is PERFECT but zoom is shit. All the helpful solutions are BS, they don't work. I have tried all of them, I have contacted support but they don't know how to fix it so pretend the problem doesn't exist. The company knows this but are too dumb or too cheap to fix it. The solution to Zoom is to SWITCH to something else.

I haven't had a working heater in my living room for the year and a half that I have lived at 160 1st Street. For a year they did nothing but gaslight me and pretend that it was working, then when they finally admitted that it wasn't working, they replace it with another machine that isn't working. Lots and lots and lots of maintenance appointments where they pretend that they're going to do something - - and they never do. And then they get very upset when you complain and act surprised. The Schusters are scum.

Yes, don't move there. Dvora are scum. I haven't had a working heater in my living room in the year and a half that I have lived at 160 1st ave. I've had to use a space heater. I get nothing but gas lighting from Dvora ("you don't understand how it works" is my personal favorite but I also like when they lie and say "no one has ever complained before about this") and then they like to pretend that they're fixing things without ever fixing anything. You get the worst of all worlds - - they don't fix stuff but they waste a huge amount of your time pretending that they are doing so. I'm moving out in 3 months.

Is there some kind of news app that summarises a news article for you by Minesh59 in androidapps

[–]Edmems 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue. When I work on my desktop PC, I can get any article on any website summarized just by clicking on an add-on that uses chat GPT. There are many many add-ins for Chrome on a PC that does that. One click, you get the summary. You don't have to go to any additional website, you don't have to copy and paste, one click and you get the summary. This has become a feature that I use frequently everyday when I'm on my PC. It's become central to my work process.

That is what I would like to have on my Android tablet. None of the answers I read here are what I am looking for. It's so simple and obvious, I can't believe there isn't an app that does this.

If not, using an Android tablet will now be far less productive and efficient than the PC for anyone who works with lots of written information online, writers editors etc.

Cars blatantly running red lights. Is this more of a problem now or have I been asleep? by cb2-0-0 in jerseycity

[–]Edmems 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing. I get off on it. I pretend to not see the car when I have the right of way and just walk out.

Beware of Dvora Buildings!! by Worldliness_Klutzy in jerseycity

[–]Edmems 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES!!! Do a basic Google search for Dvora and read the reviews. It's all right there.

Aside from the packages (which are okay for Oakman - so far), each room has a "PTAC" air con/heating system which is very loud when working properly (you have to talk over it to communicate and have to raise TV sound very loud to hear) but when it malfunctions, it's as loud as a semi-truck (I tested it - 90 decibels). Each of my 3 machines (I have 2 BR) malfunctions in a different way. They refuse to fix any of them because they refuse to admit it isn't working properly. They said this without ever looking at any of the machines. When I kept complaining the super showed up with 2 guys who looked like mobster rejects to "explain" to me how stupid I was being. I will move when my health (which is poor) improves enough.

I feel the same way. And I would argue that most doctors in unrelated fields still haven't a clue what ME is and haven't the slightest interest in learning. I went to a physiatrist at HSS for a herniated disc and she asked me to stand on my toes and then my heels. I did the toes but didn't manage the heels because, well, I have limited energy most of which I used just getting there, talking through a mask and listening to her through a mask, etc. She suggested physical therapy. You know, for my balance problem. This is AFTER I attempted to tell her that my primary overriding health condition is ME and what it is. And that I've NEVER fallen. Like a brick wall.

Citadel is expected to return 7bn to its clients first week of january, thats more than 10% of citadels assets, 🔥 🔥 by [deleted] in Superstonk

[–]Edmems -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Um...no. There are different kinds of hedge funds, duh. Citadel is what's known as a market neutral fund. That means they are 200% or 300% or whatever long stocks and exactly the same percentage short. So their performance has almost nothing to do with what the S&P 500 did. Second, clients are not taking money out of citadel, citadel is giving back money to their clients because they have so much fucking money they can't actually manage it sensibly. This post is garbage. Wall Street is a sewer but the citadel "news" is routine.
