NDAs/confidentiality agreements have to be specified in the employment contract or other signed paperwork?

In the past I've joked with my boss that I'm not obligated by NDAs and can say what I want to others. It was a joke but realistically I don't believe I am because not a word of NDA/confidentiality is in my contract, nor have I signed any other paperwork with it in. But the boss seems to think I am restricted by NDA.

Which service are you using that provides a good quality playlist based on your music tastes?

I found Spotify to be pretty rubbish at it since 90+% of it seemed to recommend the same songs day in, day out.

Are iframes still popular?

Granted I don't poke around in a lot of websites these days but it feels like it's been a while since I've seen one in the wild.

CDNs also reduce load on the network. Why pull a resource from a server on the opposite side of the world when a CDN on my 'door step' can provide a cached version of it.

How many fields do you need?

One for cows, one for sheep, another for corn, ...

Edit: corrected a fat fingered word

Rich families in African countries already do this. Families have trusted drivers that they use to drive them around and send out to do errands for them.

Those people are not trying to live off the value added to society of their creative works.

What's the fix?

Why did you dislike eM Client?

I've been looking at it recently because I'm currently using Mailbird. In recent weeks they told us that support for their current client will stop in 12 months time and we need to get on their latest client, which they want a one off payment AND an annual subscription. What greedy ducks.

Thunderbird has also hired an iOS app developer.

The issue, there is no dialogue on these Reddit cross posts - zero. It's just bot spam clutter that no one cares to engage with. In my books, that's a net negative and that's without considering what the other person said about bot accounts being used as a divisive tool.

I work in automation. We've had a few customers who wanted to keep employing people from their local area; trying to help the community and all that. Each of these customers had gotten back to us after some time because 'F these people. They act like they don't want to work and are a pain in the ass'. Long story short, we automated their jobs and they were given their final paycheck.

I can only assume these people who are double dipping are doing the bare minimum for each job, otherwise how can they do two jobs in the same time period. I wouldn't be surprised if one day their employers get tired of their antics and removed their jobs.

So if they're paying you for your work, I assume you can come and go as you please then. No need to be at work during specific hours of the day.

I've always worked for small companies where I'm working directly with the owner of the business most days. I don't need KPIs because the owner can see my performance on a daily basis.

The company is paying you for your time, therefore that time is theirs. If you have two companies paying for the same 40 hours, whose time is it and which gets priority when there is an urgent matter? You're stealing the time resource that they're paying for if you're double dipping. It's greedy and unethical.

If you want to be paid for your production capacity, go independent and pick up jobs where they pay you on job completion.

Sorry Borg Queen

I don't mind reposts when there is discussion on the reposts. When there is zero discussion, which is what's happening with the Reddit copy paste on Lemmy then it's just clutter.

If I sort by new, most of the submissions are reposts with zero votes and zero comments. If I sort by activity/hot then I see days old submissions. ... how engaging. I'd prefer to engage with new content but I'm not prepared to look over ~twenty submissions to only find one or two real submissions.

I think you misunderstood what I've said.

The part you quoted. What I meant is that I might as well just subscribe to the news source using an RSS feed and cut out the middle men (Reddit and Lemmy).

I'm not adverse to Reddit because I don't believe Lemmy is a complete replacement yet. Let's be honest, Lemmy is mostly programming, Linux, hate against Windows, hate against cars, and hate against paying for services. For me, Lemmy cannot replace Reddit until a variety of people come.

I use Lemmy and Reddit to see a discussion around a topic. I might as well just use an RSS feed if I want to read news topics instead of bare Reddit copy paste submissions.

I'm still using a third party for Reddit - I never stopped using it and it continued to work.

There are bots on other instances that do the same.
