On thinking before you speak, it means this: if something is said that makes you want to respond right away, when you sense a physical reaction (of hurt, anger, sadness or wanting retribution), or you are in a situation where what you say matters a lot (an interview, a meeting with higher-ups in a company etc.), it’s a mental cue for you to block immediate responses which can cause you to run your mouth in ways you later regret. Instead, you actively make an effort to listen more, and consider your situation and the other people’s situation before responding. So it’s not a 15 second pause after each sentence, but a 15 seconds you take while the other person is going on about whatever before you inject yourself into a conversation or before you make your point when it’s your turn.

On interacting with your coworkers, they’re not your therapists, so you can talk about what’s new and the fortunate and unfortunate things that happen to you over the course of a week, but the basic idea is to avoid making your problems their problems when you do.

I’m of a more positive nature but I love to info-dump on my coworkers about my favourite topics. I try to offset that by involving them and asking their opinion, showing them cool things, and then taking the turn to let them discuss their own intersts and thoughts on things, and follow up with that. And I try to get a sense if they aren’t interested in talking at a particular moment or are losing interest in the middle of a conversation. EQ skills are about taking that pulse.

If you need a place to start: The idea is give and take, and it should be in relatively equal amounts. Would you be able to tell me what has been on the minds lately of Coworkers 1-3? Or have you spent most of the conversation about yourself and your issues? (#4 doesn’t sound interested much in sharing their personal life, so you don’t have to probe them on it).

This is where Canada’s supply management system, often decried as “mafia” or “cartel-like” by free-market ideologues, is the happy-medium that has shielded us from these fluctuations.

Instance A defederating B or vice versa is the same result. Any posts on any inaccessible remote communities will remain and act like local only communities, specific to your instance.

As of today, we’re over the “dictator-like” boundary and squarely into “dictator” for Trump’s behaviour:

I’ve so far not had success with my Akai EIE Pro on Linux.

Ooooh nice going! Saved this post because once in a blue moon I come up with short jingles, and I’ve been wanting a software that can record MIDI stuff without lag.

That feature to search a multitude of websites via Duck Duck Go was a gamechanger when I found out about it some years ago. I’ve not gone back since.

My bad I had the timeline of events messed up. Edited.

I’m hoping nobody, anywhere. But I’m saying that even if there were dumbasses there would be still time in this case to save yourself.

Looking at it, fortunately it looks like there was just enough time for anyone without a seatbelt to put it on instinctively, before the plane rolled over.

Change one thing just because you can. Take a different way to or from work, whether it is walking (and leaving much earlier), or a different bus/train or car route.

Listen to your favourite songs… look at the birds around you. Borrow a book from the library and read it, one bit at a time. Make the choices in your life, deliberate and DIFFERENT. Break your routine. Feel human.

Then you can choose to join a casual sports team, a minecraft server, something else for human contact.

All hail Canada’s notice-and-notice-and-notice-and-notice-and-notice system of copyright enforcement!

Nope, my hearing is waaaaay too selective. I can get engrossed in a book even in loud environments.

I don’t know fully what OP means by “releasing the source code properly”, but the backend and mobile app are free and open source, licensed under GNU Affero Public License 3.0. The problems might be the decompiled APK doesn’t match the source? Not sure. It took a few weeks to get the License shown on the mobile app repository but that problem was fixed 4 days ago as of writing.

E: Upon looking up his latest posts, Dan also said “fully opensourced this weekend” but then the next day his partner got sick. Real life hits you like that.

Yeah I’ll admit it’s a shitty argument. Personally it’s more that I do think it is wrong to post other people’s IDs, but I don’t think it’s wrong to explain what the clearly visible numbers of a document mean, it’s not hidden information like EXIF data or other things that require a lot of sleuthing.

Yeah, if the post is not OOP’s own document and not given permission from the document’s owner, then it breaks Lemmy.world’s terms. However if it is, then OOP should know better than to post a photo of their personal ID on a public forum.

Ehh, this is an upload of a document filled with personal info that was intentionally shared. Not a big deal imo, if Lemmings weren’t going to do it, someone else would have.

On Mastodon, use hashtags fedihire and hiring, look for getfedihired hashtag to find prospective applicants.

I mean suggesting the government doesn’t use SQL, in tech-speak is about as dumb as saying the government doesn’t use numbers.

Government is full of what are known as relational databases as you are well aware, and though it stands to reason that they aren’t all using the same software to manage it, many can be accessed using a standard language of commands. It could be a Microsoft Access, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle Derby, Microsoft SQL server, PostgresQL, SQLite, SAP HANA, so on and so forth. That language is Structured Query Language (SQL).

And saying there can be multiple entries in a database for one item with respect to the Social Security Database is, to me, a silly distraction and spreading BS FUD to ignorant people. As others have already mentioned, most databases have an internal sequence (keyID) number that is unrelated to the personal ID number of the person whose data is collected.
