I knew it wasn't spelled exactly like the bird lol. But yeah I used that shit for years. I don't really have a use for it anymore or I'd probably still be using it

I used that until they pay walled it. Then I found Pidgen I believe it was called. It was open source and could connect to pretty much every messenger and IRC and stuff. Then my friend just switched to texting lol

Lync was such garbage. I used that for years at one of my old jobs. Teams just feels like discord with extra shittiness lol.

The worst part is that they had developed an in-house app that worked amazing but abandoned it for teams.

I Got permanently banned from a subreddit I liked and was a long time member of because I accidentally reposted something that was already posted on there before in c/reddit@lemmy.world

Reddit mods are basically in the belief that they're Mao Zedong. When I created and ran a subreddit /r/treecomics way back in the day, I got accused of being too light on reposts. Like if it was within a couple days I would just remove it. Unless someone was constantly doing it, there's no harm. Lighten the fuck up people.

So glad I'm permabanned for saying that neonazis in my city should learn how to bite a curb.

I mean, I'm a dev who got laid off almost a year ago and still can't find anything. I know tons of others who are in similar positions. So...

And yet, higher ups continue to lay off more devs because AI "is the future".

Good luck. Software development market is absolute trash now. I can't get a job with nearly 10 years of experience. One of my old jobs has gone from 35 developers to 5 who use ChatGPT to generate most of their code and just check and make small modifications.

How to delete everything but OS securely? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to sell my laptop. I've used stuff like DBAN before but that nukes the whole drive obviously. Is there any good way to leave the OS intact after a reset but also make sure that there's no recoverable data?

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Edit to add: I don't have the product key for the pre installed Windows 10 OS. Maybe there's a way to recover that and reinstall after a full wipe?

Really odd thing happened last night (lemmy.world)
 

Curious if I'm overthinking things or if this might actually be possible. I got out of detox yesterday and the experience was... Bad this time around. I was really triggered by my treatment by the staff and wanted to drink so badly. I didn't, but I did meet up with a few friends and have a few near beers. 3 over the course of 4 hours. By my calculation, that should be 0.18oz of alcohol max, if the brewery is to be believed.

They were Athletic, which is a pretty trusted brand. I didn't feel intoxication at all. It just helped with the cravings and stuff.

About 4 hours after my last one though, I could swear I had pretty bad withdrawal symptoms for about an hour and a half. Cold sweats, intense nausea, severe anxiety - granted I always have anxiety lingering around. No tremors thankfully, and it passed.

The only other idea I had was food poisoning from getting non hospital food, but I've never heard of food poisoning lasting that shortly.

Thoughts? Either way I'm staying away from the near beer for at least a week.
