My Seat Leon car. VW really shat the bed with their latest gen cars.

They’ve just learnt it all from Vegas.

Paris is lovely, as long as you avoid the worst tourist areas. Seeing people queue in the middle of Champs-Élysées, between lanes of traffic, just to get that one pretend shot of the Arc de Triumphe is a special circle of hell.

So knowing that European consider Swiss people cold, imagine how cold they are.

They are stone cold to foreigners - so many English speaking wealthy people live there and they are not welcomed into the local communities. It can take a decade to make local Swiss friends.

Tbf that’s a better explanation than any other I’ve heard.

Agile Coaches.

It’s like having a cadre of political officers in your team.

I’m a 47 year old man.

Whenever I hear Salute by Little Mix, I bop along. How could you not?

Your pace of walking definitely has a huge impact on people’s impression of you.

It’s a workplace monitoring tool dressed up as a workplace wellness tool.

You know that table that shows the risk of employees who might burn out, given their meeting frequency, teams interactions, email rate, work hours etc.? If you flip the sorting order, you can measure who isn’t doing enough (by whatever metrics the employer decides).

100% agreed. For me it’s pretty simple; issue the same test you issue immigrants for citizenship. If people can’t pass that, why the hell are they getting involved in the governing of our country?

And I speak as someone who has passed the U.K. citizenship test to acquire U.K. citizenship. It takes 2 weeks of studying one hour/week AND some general understanding of what’s going on in the country. It’s not hard, it just requires a little effort and involvement. Seems a minimum you can expect before people make decisions that affect us all.

Voting.

Reddit by far was a better experience; more content, better moderation, less negativity.

I’m still here on Lemmy, though, in hope of it getting better (and it definitely scratches the same itch as Reddit without the corporate arrogance).

That said, even though it annoys me, I do find myself getting exposed to a wider array of opinions on Lemmy that I just never saw on Reddit. And while I disagree with a lot of it it’s probably healthier for things to be that way. The tankies, though … so many tankies.

Dunno about affordable but you can usually find some decently priced 1L Dell Optiplex micro systems. I’ve got one running under my desk 24/7. Great Linux support.

100% cigarette reversed into a cupped hand.

For me, it would be Heat. It was released before people really had the internet, so I had no idea about the movie and just wandered past an afternoon showing with a friend, thinking well why not, let’s give it a shot.

Came out wanting to immediately see it again.

Not really. It checks your location when you authenticate. It doesn’t store the location.

But MS Authenticator isn’t a normal 6-digit Authenticator; it scans your Face ID (or finger print) and in many cases (like my work) it can be support password less accounts (relying only on something you have and something you are).

And in regard to your point that you don’t want to install apps you don’t need, it sounds like you do in fact need this app.

🤷‍♀️

Ok, but most workplaces require some form of apps installed for access, shared documents etc.

How many would install Figma, Office, Expensify, Jira, Confluence or a whole other raft of work apps if it wasn’t for work?

I mean, sure, it’s annoying but is MS Authenticator really the hill people want to die on?

What is your concern about installing MS Authenticator.

I mean I can understand the principle of being forced to install anything on your phone.

But just stepping into the practical for a second: What do you worry will happen by installing this app to your phone?

How to say so when something isn’t good enough. I’m super prone to just accept shitty delivery/products/service. My wife is amazing at saying “I was super disappointed” but in a way that gets the other person on board and often rectifies the issue. She’s super awesome at expressing limits without aggression and it’s definitely made me a better person to be around; before I would accept my own borders being crossed while the pressure was building and then explode with rage. Much easier to deal with things up front and then be authentic. Still learning but she’s great at this.
