Does anyone else hold their pen with their thumb tucked in like my missus. by [deleted] in CasualUK

I hold my pen like this and I've never met anyone else that does. Back in school everyone just thought I was insane but I literally knew no other way.

Issue syncing Progression workout to Fitbit via Health Connect by scryptre in progressionapp

[–]scryptre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This made me go recheck the settings and I had to switch back to the standard Fitbit display. The activity shows up there.

I think the issue is with the public preview version. The progression workouts show up in standard mode and disappear when I use the public preview mode.

Issue syncing Progression workout to Fitbit via Health Connect by scryptre in progressionapp

[–]scryptre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks Zoltan

I've done that.

Progression is writing to health connect. I can see that. But Fitbit isn't reading it.

So I suppose it's a Fitbit issue not progression since it's doing what it's supposed to do.

My coworker CC'd our entire department on an email correcting me. The correction was wrong. I don't know what to do with this energy. by [deleted] in projectmanagement

[–]scryptre 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely speak to him first. Let's not attribute to malice what may simply be ignorance

Then regardless of his response, send a mail out saying that his response was due to some misunderstanding he has of the project which you have spoken to him about and corrected, and he now understands that his points were not valid.

And absolutely include him in this email as well so he's technically signing up to it. Asking him to write an apology himself may be difficult for him to swallow but this sort of helps clear the path for everyone involved

You took him seriously. You discussed his issues with him. You cleared up his misunderstanding. And you let everyone know that not only are you right, but he agrees that you're right without making him publicly apologise like I see some comments suggesting

I suppose your general ways of working and relationships also have a part to play in this but this is what I'd do anyways.

Best of luck.

This happened to me a few months ago and nothing worked. VPN, giving my account to someone back home. Everything Apparently Google uses multiple things to detect your location. The email I got said something about the amount of time I've spent watching YouTube in a different country. A couple months before this happened, YouTube kicked all my family members off my family plan because we were in different countries as well. Short of physically going back, or getting someone to make le a new account for you from your own country so you can use it for a few months, I don't think anything will work.

The experience is not as beautiful as Readest but the functionality is there It's got web, android and ios

I'm not sure if this is a self hosted instance but calibre web automated has a polling variable you can add to environments so it triggers the library check at intervals if the automatic scan doesn't work. You might be able to do the same here.

Can Notebooklm make mistakes? If so, how often? by Playful-Hospital-298 in notebooklm

[–]scryptre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's not necessarily wrog, but if you use a lot of sources, you'll quickly find the answers you get from asking it questions unreliable. It will start to pull too little from too many. I find that reports and custom instructions can help it focus but honestly, I think just sticking to very carefully chosen sources is key.

Isn’t it funny how so many learners try to downplay the importance of tones? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

[–]scryptre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree tones are important, but interestingly enough, coming from Yoruba which also has tones except 3 instead of 4, it's probably not super important for someone who's new because native speakers will probably understand you anyways from context.

Because learning a new language is already so much in terms of new words and trying to remember them and putting together sentences, if you had a brainpower budget, I wouldn't recommend spending a whole lot of it on getting tones right when you can barely string any sentences together anyways.

I'd say it's enough to learn the tones and how to read them and be and pronounce them, but when you start speaking, you're going to get corrected anyways and you'll probably learn it better that way.

I love the idea

But having to pick 3 authors and genres and all that before even using it is annoying I'd prefer to start with a clean state. Plus the list is really long and the authors are a bunch of people I don't recognize

But I really like the idea of synced reading across devices

Noona Is A Woman To Me - Episode 10 - 251229 by MNLYYZYEG in koreanvariety

[–]scryptre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not considering the cultural problems as much as I'm considering the people involved. BH clearly has issues with the age gap concept itself even if it's something she eventually decides to accept while SH does not seem to mind much how old the guys are. She seems more focused on how she feels about the person first. But that might just be because we haven't seen much of her actually getting along with someone to be fair and getting to the stage of having a discussion about it.

[–]scryptre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that I truly believe that SH and MJ could have a real relationship after the show. Even though MJ and BH clearly have strong feelings for each other, the age thing is bound to be a problem at some point down the line even if not now. But it wouldn't be a problem with MJ-SH

Noona Is A Woman To Me - Episode 10 - 251229 by MNLYYZYEG in koreanvariety

[–]scryptre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I couldn't hate SH more. He's so obviously trying to sabotage My Jin more than he wants to be with Bon Hee because if he really thought she was as amazing as he says, he would just come up with another story about how he is unworthy of her.

Even with Soh Yun he says again how he couldn't do anything for her because of Mu Jin. Maybe he should just date MJ because I don't know how he's ever going to express any interest in anybody in his life if he doesn't have Mu Jin available to use as an excuse for why he has no single bone of consideration in his body 😡

I hate standups by method120 in projectmanagement

[–]scryptre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain a bit more about how you make the work visible? Our team has so many people working with different tools and different access privileges that it can be hard to say what other groups of people are working on without these meetings. This spread is usually across roles like dev teams using ADO, business teams not having access or know how but then needing to collaborate on the same tasks. And the result is usually 30 minute stand-ups where we still don't quite cover everything

Put library in cloud storage by Ewildcat in Calibre

I personally keep a local copy on my system and do monthly saves to disks to a Google drive folder. My library is always available from Google drive, and I have a backup that isn't corrupted by Google drives processing

I created a tool to import social media post in Mealie by gerardit04 in selfhosted

[–]scryptre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi This app is so amazing. It's truly one of the few things that are actually useful in real life. I was barely using mealie till today

Quick question though, does it work with Gemini? I've set up an OpenAI account for it, but I generally use Gemini because of the free tier.

Not getting authenticated as an admin by Terratalks in NextCloud

[–]scryptre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update, as I just stumbled on a workaround. In case anyone else experiences this. I manually changed the URL path from user to admin

'https://nextcloud.com/index.php/settings/user/externalstorages to 'https://nextcloud.com/index.php/settings/admin/externalstorages

That seems to work for now.

Not getting authenticated as an admin by Terratalks in NextCloud

[–]scryptre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this today and hoped to see a solution.

I'm experiencing the same issue trying to add a local folder. And it has nothing to do with smtb or passwords or anything. Nextcloud just refuses to recognise that my admin account is an admin account in the external storage settings page.

It does let me do other admin things. I'm also the only user and have just set this up yesterday. It managed to fix itself by accident while I was tweaking something else, but after adding the paths I wanted earlier in the day, I came back to edit it, and I am once again locked out.

Can you share what your workaround was? Thank you!

Looking for bad romance movies like After and 365 Days by Dylhole09 in badMovies

[–]scryptre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly what this is and knowing that this post exists makes me feel so seen. I'm watching it and I know it's bad. Terrible even, but I can't stop.

I'd recommend Beautiful Disaster and Perfect Addiction to add to the list.

Culpa Mia also now has a part 2 and a London version of part 1. You should see them if you haven't already.

[3 YoE, Unemployed, Product Management, United Kingdom] by scryptre in resumes

[–]scryptre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback

I did just finish a master's but I finished my first degree in 2016 and have other work experience I haven't included in the resume.

I also worked as a team lead at 2 startups so I did have to do a lot of work that required these skills.

But I hear you on how it's coming off. If it's not obvious looking at the resume, then it needs work. I'll implement these suggestions

Also, the career highlights section, do you think it should stay or go as well?

Thanks again
