If their hiring process is 7 rounds they’re not hiring talent, they’re hiring people willing to jump through hoops, give up all dignity, and be subservience.

Same with group interviews. It’s not about talent, it’s about who will be the best little lap dog.

Every report on piracy I read points out that the biggest pirates are also the biggest spenders on “legitimate” media, streaming, cinema tickets. This will only increase purchase of such things by a rounding error. It won’t be the money spinner they’re hoping for. It’ll have a more significant effect on viral and organic hype.

If the women were drunk enough one of them threw up in the cab, this being the worst thing they said shows a metric fuck-tonne of restraint and composure on their part.

Seriously, if a police officer cannot handle THIS being said to them, then why the fuck are they in the police force? You cannot be this fragile and sensitive about things said to you while performing police duties.

This coming out has just turned the ENTIRE British Police service in to an absolute joke.

I generally say “werwerwer”.

If only someone saw this coming and tried to warn us. Multiple times. For the last 70 years.

I gave up watching Australian FTA in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. Their treatment of the end-user and the abuser abusee relationship there just wasn’t worth it. So many good shows I just stopped watching because I was sick of their crap and streaming / torrents weren’t a thing yet.

And before anyone goes “you’re not the customer you’re the product” yada yada, I very specifically said “end-user” earlier, not customer. I know. You’re not telling me anything I haven’t already acknowledged.

The only thing I’ve watched on FTA since is live sport when there’s no other options, or things via the catch-up apps (mostly ABC & SBS’s).

No matter which VPN provider I've used, they've all had periods where things were just slow. Eventually came good as the speeds were reported and their either upped their infrastructure or fixed the problem.

I've had plenty of occasions where the VPN connection slowed down over time, disconnecting and establishing a new connection put it back to the maximum speed too.

I haven't been with PIA for years, but it was one of many that I experienced both of these issues. I abandoned PIA when it got bought out by a company that made its money and start via spyware, adware, tracking people & selling PII and any other information they could slurp up. The antithesis of what a VPN company is supposedly all about.

Background play is bloody annoying if you don't use YT for music. I prefer videos to stop when I switch apps, then resume when I switch back. Now they keep playing.

And I'm starting to get recommendations of music that I can't remove or tell it I'm not interested in.

I disagree. We’ve already elected our Donald Trump, and we did so before Donald Trump even became US President. Ours was called Tony Abbott. Good riddance.

That's about the only thing I use cash for these days myself. Birthday money. The money I tend to receive sits in my wallet until it's time for someone else's birthday. Then it goes in their cards.

I should mark it or something to see if I then get it back next birthday. :P

It’s not the length, it’s how you use it.

Merry Eostre!

Those expanding foam bricks they used to use 10 years ago are really bad for the environment. This is just someone savvy trying to be environmentally friendly.

Do you yahoo!?

I’ve never put any thought in to what synthetic drugs are like as heat disappation material, but now I really want to know.

making a revised projection that we will have a Gold Master (GM) for 1.0 ready for submission to the App Store on July 1 which will go public whenever Apple decides to approve it.

As someone just starting to poke at Lemmy, I still consider this good news. :)

Friday evening: I’m going to have such a good sleep in tomorrow.

Saturday at my weekday alarm time: -wide awake-

Is there anything similar that works on iOS and tvOS? That’s where most of my YouTube viewing is done.
