Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who know where/when they contracted COVID, how long after your exposure did you become symptomatic?
1·2 years agoIt depends on what variant you get. Older strains could become symptomatic up to a week later, newer strains as little as 1-2 days. It’s nearly impossible for the average person to know what strain they have and the older ones are still floating around.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Applying for a job where the scale is lower than I currently make. Is it ok to bring that up in negotiations?
2·2 years agoAt my last interview, I was already making 10k more than their ceiling. I just said “my current salary is x, I’m not looking for a pay raise but could you match it?”. They did! I think it was a one two punch of showing off my worth with having a high salary but also being humble by not asking for more. It also helps to approach it as a matter of fact yes or no question and not as a negotiation.

Tech Support Memes@lemmy.ca•Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
11·2 years agoMy work sends out fake phishing emails and the people who click them get in trouble. Of course, they always come from one particular address that I blocked.
I wish they’d do more realistic emails though. “You won a prize you didn’t apply for!” is pretty basic. If it was one of those fake invoice PDFs I always get on my personal, I’d totally let a trojan onto the work network.

Books@lemmy.ml•What are some book series like Harry Potter [quaint, pleasant, deep lore] but less childish and bigoted?
2·2 years agoI tried reading Mort, but it’s very… dense. While I do enjoy the occasional book with flowery, descriptive language, I got a quarter of the way through it and no real plot happened.

memes@lemmy.world•Pour one out for the youtubers that chased the algorithm away from what you enjoy.
58·2 years agoUgh, I used to follow a wildlife channel. The head of their YouTube had a kid, and then every other video was her repeating “can you say jackal?” over and over and OVER. I’m here for wildlife videos, not to watch your kid ignore the camera getting shoved in their face. But everyone was super positive towards the first kid video and she thought it was encouragement. For shame.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?
1171·2 years agoAccounting is a goddamn mess. There’s lots of mistakes in accounting, finance, banking, etc but we’re supposed to act to outsiders like they never happen. Publicly traded companies (US) get audited every year, but no audit company would give a paying customer a failing grade. New grads are funneled into working for public firms - the 10 or so companies that cater to the world’s audit, tax, and consulting needs. They’re supposed to teach discipline, but in reality they only teach you security theater. You’re worked to the bone until you either burn out or agree to perpetuate the system to keep your job.
And the only reason it continues to work is society’s social contract agreeing that it has to work because we don’t have any other options. All it takes is the rumors that the idea is failing - like in the silicon valley bank run - and we’re all out of luck. With the speed of information these days all it takes is a few minutes for a situation to spiral out of control. It’s bonkers.
I got into accounting because I enjoyed bookkeeping in high school. Now that I’m in it I refuse to work for anything larger than a mid sized, non public company.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•how often do you encounter doublespeak?
15·2 years agoWhere I live we call it “Minnesota nice”. As a transplant I can’t speak it well, so I have no idea what anyone thinks of me. It’s pretty frustrating.
Aslan didn’t allow the oldest girl into “heaven” with the other kids in the last book because she… checks notes… wore makeup and liked boys. C S Lewis got reeeal puritanical towards the end of that series.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•is there anything much useful I can do with an iPad 1? (not picture frame)
1·2 years agoThe two big risks with jailbreaking are:
- You’re running an old operating system that’s missing modern security updates.
- Any app you install or website you visit has easier access to your root files, as opposed to the “sandbox” approach for a non jailbroken device.
I wouldn’t recommend doing anything that requires your banking or personal info. This device should get its own apple account and if you need to pay for something, use a gift card. Only use jailbroken apps from trusted sources - after all this time, most sources that are malicious for older app versions should be easily identifiable with a little research. There is also iSecureOS which can check if you downloaded something bad or have a third party connected to your device.
The internet itself isn’t a risk, it’s what you do with it. Don’t use your device for general web browsing, don’t use the device outside of your home, don’t use the internet after the device is set up, and use iSecureOS regularly to check the health of your device. As long as it is set up correctly and you’re only using the iPad for one specific project, it should be fine.
If you have questions about how to jailbreak or where you can safely find apps, I’d recommend checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/
Snow White with the Red Hair is my favorite hidden gem.
- main character is a strong, independent, brilliant woman. She isn’t abrasive or obnoxious, just confident in who she is. Her success in the story is entirely from her own efforts.
- love interest is a well rounded character, not an Everyman stand in. His own strengths and weaknesses are plot relevant and he grows independently of the mc.
- the romance progresses at a steady pace and isn’t a will they/won’t they for two seasons.
- romance is one of many plot lines, not the only one. It’s also slice of life and medieval politics.
- and of course, everyone’s adults. Everyone has normal body proportions and healthy personalities.

5·2 years agoJailbreaking allows full access, so you can sideload and there’s an alternate app store called Cydia. Sometimes jailbreaking instructions will include installing it, or you may need to install it separately. You’ll also need legacy iTunes. I haven’t worked on anything quite that old but there are some YouTube tutorials still floating around.

3·2 years agoI don’t think jailbreaking would allow you to upgrade your operating system, but you could download/install apps yourself instead of using the app store. That would allow you to use older apps that meet your system specs.
