Makes sense. I removed on FB from time to time and most of my posts get 20-30 engagements from close friends.
Anything pro-Palestine gets maybe 1, at best.

Correct. It’s documented.
Is that the same as skin cancer?
Maybe it’s regional, but Instacart use in my area straight up says which stores are priced the same or which are priced at a premium when you click on it. It isn’t hidden at all.
I miss Superstore :(
You sound like me. I’m diagnosed autistic (mildly), I’m a software engineer, I’m introverted, I’m definitely liberal leaning, and…I live in Oregon.
For now, I love it here (except Portland proper). So many great restaurants, bars, breweries, wineries, and a crap ton of trails and other parks and sights and sounds.
I live semi-rural and half the businesses here have pride flags and BLM signage. I’m non-white, but don’t feel unsafe walking around where I am at night. My tech contract jobs are remote and I make more than enough to live comfortably.
It rains a lot here… though less so these days it seems. It’s weird how many 100+ degree days we get now, but it’s still a lot less than other people I know.
I’m rambling. If you want to know more, just ask.
As a tech worker, I do almost jack shit and make deep into the six figures. Honestly, I’d be fine if UPS drivers made more than me, good on them.
Frankly, in terms of total compensation, pay them more.
I’m sorry you couldn’t finish it, but…for whatever reason, this comment is the funniest thing I’ve seen and hardest I’ve laughed at anything all day, so thank you for that!
I’m open to the idea.
Awesome idea that I totally just did!
Sorry, dumb question, what’s GOG?
That’s awesome. Also the lack of micro transactions makes me want to support them more. I kinda wish they had a donate button or something.
Super weird, still haven’t seen an ad in Sync and don’t use any sort of ad blockers or anything. Is it regional maybe?
US here. Companies I work for use Teams, Zoom, Outlook, WebEx, RingCentral, GChat for comms.
Personally among friends and family, we use Signal.
Nobody I know uses WhatsApp or even has it installed.
As far as I know, Subscriber count is specific to your instance and not aggregated.
WinAmp, really kicks the llamas ass
Is it possible it is just the wrong jobs?
I’ve worked some web dev jobs that made me hate life and want to quit. I’ve since churned through many jobs and finally found gigs that I actually enjoy, that pay well, that give me ample time off and legit work-life balance.
I also live relatively rural, read: paid a nearby ISP to run fiber to my home.
You can export them from Chrome and import them to Firefox.
Always Be Looking.
Honestly, early on, I wasn’t reliably finding them. But that lasted maybe 6 months?
If I have a 6mo contract for example, I’m still applying for a couple jobs every week. I’m keeping in touch with recruiters that don’t suck at their job and building rapport with them. I’m pinging prior coworkers and just seeing who/what they know is available.
Obviously, soft skills and resume matter too. I have enough buzzy technologies under my belt that it increases the breadth of jobs I can apply for, which helps.
Yeah, it was rough at first, but not like…I was destitute by any means. And now with enough of a network built up I’m relatively confident that even if shit hit the fan, I could find a job inside of 2 weeks.
If you’re in the US (or I guess anywhere?) - just make sure to account for taxes…
