  • Another interesting thought about MACs and any other chip-based IDs that get floated in the future. Spoofing aside, while MACs are supposed to be unique, there are a lot of dodgy mfgs that just burn the same MAC or set of MACs into entire batches of chips at a time. If a new standard was announced, it would be interesting to see the results of orgs trying to take advantage of the ID while shady mfgs continue to not give a flip.

  • IPs change constantly, MAC is per network device (a laptop with Wi-Fi and wired has two different MACs), so you would need to be able to have a list of MACs and MACs can be easily spoofed so thats a whole other set of issues.

  • Whether you like the idea of company culture etc not withstanding, it's easier to push in office where people are sitting in an environment that you have the power to craft and shape. As a predominantly call center based business our reporting has shown improvement moving from pure WFH to hybrid, I'm not going to apply that to other businesses, but for us it worked out that way.

  • My local library gives me a free subscription to Headspace, so I use their Sleepcasts a lot, if it turns out that yours does too; Cat Marina 1&2 are good times, as is the Slow Train, Rainy Day Antiques, and Temple Rain.

    Otherwise, I haven't tried them myself, but my sister is a big fan of https://www.sleepwithmepodcast.com

  • Same, I have sleep tracks I listen to as well that usually start with a relax/disrupt your self-think exercise and then start describing a scene, like a train ride through pastures, this is not the same as leaving the TV or YouTube running, or an audiobook; it's intentionally boring and low engagement but it gives you something to focus on listening to so that you don't get caught up in your own thoughts, similar to the eavesdropping.

  • Context: Jira is a guy.

  • It's a guy.

  • I use 7zip all the time, but when I'm dealing with other people I just default to compressing as zip, it's not any extra effort the way I have things and I know there is zero chance of throwing the recipient.

  • Disagree, this tool is meant for use by small instance servers, not large ones. Large ones have to manually handle their list since they are on the hook more for maintaining some kind of policy and announcement structure.) The only way it hurts them as a little guy is if they break the policies of a major instance enough to get blocked by the instance admins, which would take some work for a small instance. (The same or greater amount of effort that would get you banned if you lived on the major instance so no benefit to making it your home there.) And then they only get blocked by that instance and the other small instances using this tool who chose to sync from that major instance. They remain fine on other large instances and small instance that sync from those other large instances instead.

    If a large instance does start squashing little people excessively then hopefully that hits the feed and people can pick a different instance to sync from.

  • This tool isn't a shared master list like ad blockers use, it's me spinning up my own instance and deciding I want to match my blocklist to lemmy.world or lemmy.ml or whoever, specifically. And who I sync from is a decision I make about who I trust etc. I can unmake it and switch my sync to another instance the moment I hear about something I disagree with.

  • I had fun with it, and thought it had a pretty solid ending for the last season.

  • The fresh college grads getting hired at my work imply this is becoming an inaccurate generalization. Particularly in regards to tech. We may be reaching the brain's natural knowledge saturation point, and with so much knowledge available, there's a natural tendency towards a wide but shallow pool.

  • So you're striving to raise yourself from full dick to just "-ish"? Otherwise this reply seems a bit ironic.

  • ....I'm not sure you understand how all this works.

  • I live here but to be clear, lemmy.world is not "the entirety of Lemmy".
