In my case Ruby was my next step. I tried to learn Python later on but it always felt like a step back. Unfortunately Python is much more popular though for some reason so YMMV.
I still love tech but only because I realize that it can actually empower us. The dark patterns that corporations use (for me personally and especially when it comes to customer service) are what ruin it, but maybe I’m still naïve.
Not super grim, but I worked in a hot warehouse unpacking cheap clothing from China, repacking it and watching the owners turn around and sell it on Groupon for a huge profit. Sometimes their family members would stop by in brand new Mercedes, BMW and other high-end luxury cars.
The others and myself were all promised better jobs like product photographer, website designer, etc. I only lasted there one week.
Mine is till instead of ’til to mean until and a in “two times a year” instead of per. I still say “two times a year” myself but when writing it looks so unprofessional and I always notice it in news publications.
It’s been ages for me but I vaguely remember something whacky like this happening but can’t recall specifics. Something about blocking specific scripts causing crazy rendering problems and yeah, something with inputs acting janky too.
Gee, I wonder why Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection breaks the site. 🤔
For me in the US a ton of sites break simply by using a VPN exiting in Europe. If they’re too lazy to comply with EU privacy laws I take that as a sign it’s not worth my time, so I’d likely do the same with this.
Same goes if my “ad blocker” (DNS blocking) isn’t “compatible” or I can’t log in because due to an oftentimes hidden Google recaptcha: no thanks, I’ll take my business elsewhere.
I work from home, love my job and make a great salary. I also have ~10 years of food service experience and would prefer to go back to that than to hear my office-working coworkers complain about the same shit I hear in the monthly meetings every day.
I don’t know, I still see a lot of people not knowing this. I’ve seen iPhone users get confused when I use Safari to go to a website rather than the Google app on their phone.
It’s really a shame because you just know that that Google app is just spyware.
Didn’t get through season one?
Same, this is sad news. I’ll probably end up hosting an instance myself on 1984.is but I wasn’t wanting to deal with the hassle.
I access everything over VPN and access Lemmy primarily through Mlem — I’d forgotten that the “Hot” sorting even existed.
Oh well, what else is new? Better to self-host your own services.
The real trick is to move to a high cost of living area where you’re super near but can hardly afford to make it there as often as you’d like.
I think there’s some merit to this, I had blonde hair as a child and now when I go to the beach a lot during the summer is starts to lighten again.

Yeah, I couldn’t get past this. The turquoise was neither blue nor green but you’re forced to select one or the other.
One of my chihuahuas does this too but doesn’t sneeze.
I actually still crack up whenever I see unhinged.

Not sure if you’re talking about me but if so, touché because I definitely don’t believe that but now I look like a hypocrite. 😂
Who even has this kind of time? Get a life

And probably anywhere between six months and three years from now 🙄

I really hope not; I love Linux to death but Android is… not nice.
