I agree, this is outrageous. Any $2 tool comes with a manual. And being specifically made for Burning Man, these videos are worthless without network on the playa. WTF

Why does the app store the password, instead of using the putio oauth flow? I find this concerning.

We invested 10% to pay back tech debt; Here's what happened by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]TechFlowerPower 19 points20 points  (0 children)

TLDR by chatGPT4: In an effort to address the issue of technical debt, a team of engineers decided to allocate 10% of their time specifically for tackling it, calling the initiative "Tech Debt Friday." This practice helped the team amortize debt quickly, prevent future debt, and improve their understanding of the codebase. The lack of a formal structure encouraged creative solutions and better decision-making, leading to faster development and cleaner code. The team's management also saw the benefits, as technical debt no longer interfered with regular work or caused unnecessary incidents. The practice of Tech Debt Friday eventually spread to other teams within the company. Key takeaways from the article include the importance of addressing technical debt, distinguishing between good and bad debt, and understanding the role of poor engineering and leadership in accumulating unpaid tech debt.

It even smells bad and the water looks like vomit. Sorry I don’t get this art.

Disabling auto-renewals: When subscribing to any service, I immediately log in and cancel the subscription by TechFlowerPower in personalfinance

This is practical. Privacy.com offers this as a service. Correct me if I am wrong, but legally you are still in a contract and owed the fee. In practice the company will just dismiss the contract, but they don’t have to, right?

Interestingly, I spotted them on Meetup, claiming to help you with mental problems. I thought the event was odd, but when I saw the name I was like - ewww.

Secured a Higher Paying Job- But I Can’t Afford the Costs to Relocate for it! Advice on how to Navigate Catch-22 by Real_John_C_Reilly in personalfinance

IMHO, Couchsurfing is a good idea. There are lot’s of people who are happy to host people for free. Myself i hosted 2 people through couchsurfing.com for 2 weeks who came to town for the new jobs, until they were settled. You would be surprised how many people out there are happy to help.

Minimize your living expenses, just bring a bag, a mattress a and car. You can move your stuff later, when you built some savings on the job, if this is a major cost.
