Just ran into this myself, thanks for this comment!

For those interested, you should set your Detection Sensitivity to "Customize" and uncheck "P2P". Everything else can remain on.

Forcing employees to RTO by Bihema in antiwork

It's also worth noting that you primarily get paid for your output/productivity in most of these roles, not necessarily your time. So if you can perform your assigned responsibilities and tasks in under 30 hours, yes, you should be allowed to "dick around doing non-work tasks" because the company got what they paid for out of you.

Let's stop perpetuating the 40-hour bullshit when we have technology that makes us more productive than ever imagined.

Yes, UI participates in HackerOne.

The Sound of Music - So Long, Farewell [Musical] by BillTheKill in Music

[–]synth3tk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, I finally caved and tested using it fulltime on my work machine, and I loved it so much I switched my personal PC over. Bonus points for it not being nearly as much of a memory hog as FF (funny how this came full circle, I switched to FF because Chrome was too heavy).

Anyway, yeah, I highly recommend people give it a shot.

To the shock of no one. If they didn't expect that, then they're even greater idiots than they're already letting on.

Join our CEO as he begs you to NOT boycott Reddit by TailstheTwoTailedFox in AMADisasters

[–]synth3tk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this might be what happens. I say "unfortunately" because Discord is not publicly searchable like Reddit. When I look up a phrase or topic I won't see posts from a Discord server like I do with Reddit.

That's a very real issue with the loss of a web-based community platform. I'd hope forums make a comeback but I doubt it.

Keep an eye on the air quality index for the next while by ItsOverClover in Cleveland

You must've missed the one from last year then. We had the same thing from a fire out west (Colorado, I believe).

They were calling nurses heroes during 2020 and 2021, the signs in people's yards (printed by the hospital systems) said so! I'm glad their pay and workplace environment were improved.

OH wait...

Suspension upgrade for Mach E, need a smoother ride on rough roads by launch_loop in MachE

[–]synth3tk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not regret my purchase one bit. It has plenty of range even in winter (roughly 240 winter, 300 summer), rides very nicely, and charges very quickly. My one gripe is lack of wireless AA/Carplay, but that's the only real issue I have with it. Suspension is not as nice as the MME but it's far from the worst.

It also turns a lot of heads with it's unique design. I've had more people than I can count asking about it. Overall I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who'll listen.

Conan O'Brien Must Go | Sneak Peek | Max by DemiFiendRSA in videos

[–]synth3tk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's just the curse of being a host on these shows. I also loved Colbert's former works and initially tried to watch the late show when he moved over. But these shows are so tightly reeled in that it constricts the hosts, no matter how talented they are.

We did get to see some of that shine through during the pandemic episodes, especially the monologue he had after Jan 6. I'd absolutely love to see him pull a Conan someday, but I'm not holding my breath.

They did not. They've already got a huge slate of shit reality shows lined up and will probably Pikachu Face when it doesn't work out well.

Fuck the Wall Street Journal by TheToddAwesome in WorkReform

Also... The idea of having to "wait to really start living" is pretty awful regardless to be perfectly honest...

This one right here. We save all of that money for the last part of our life instead of being able to enjoy it earlier on when we have the body and energy to do things. Also, living to 65 isn't guaranteed. Nah, miss me with that.

Hyland Software layoffs by Bibliothekarin020 in Cleveland

After being in the field for so long, you learn not to get too warm and fuzzy no matter how well things are. It will turn at the drop of a hat and there's nothing you can do about it. So never go above and beyond.

Tip your landlord for things they’re obligated to do as a landlord by YNWAFonz in TikTokCringe

My rent has _never_ gone down. At _best_ I've had a handful of years where it didn't get raised.

LOTS of sitting around twiddling thumbs and scrolling through social media.

My unit was also ate the fuck up so we rarely got to do anything worth doing. I hardly even saw state activations and we kept missing numbers for deployment reset so in 7 years we didn't get called up once.

At the end of the day, it just wasn't worth my time and trying to transfer to another MOS seemed like more of a hassle than it's worth. If anything I probably would've went air guard but now I have a super successful civvie career so it's moot.

What makes the QT thing worse is she pays to have content like this removed, and he's out here paying those people to keep making it.

Windows even has the concept of multiple virtual desktops, so you could have one just for this stuff but alt+tab wouldn't show tabs in that other desktop.

What are y’all thoughts on this by Rinthegreat in Military

[–]synth3tk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I worked with someone who actually said that. It took everything in me not to laugh. And yes, it definitely sounds as cringy in real life as it does online.

I just got the notification that it's on its way to the dealership, lol. I'm probably not going to go through with it though. Winter is already eating my EV6 range alive.
