I just gave an example of running where it was about pushing, not if someone crossed a line. They even changed their decision after an appeal when other people looked at the same situation again.

And sports like football or hockey... Have you ever watched those sports? There are subjective calls all the time. It's objective criteria, but a human still has to interpret things like handball, which depends on if your arm is in an "unnatural position" or not. Those are largely subjective decisions and there is controversy around them all the time.

With breakdancing they are of course also judging specific criteria:

The winner is determined by a panel of judges, who score each performance based on five criteria each worth a fifth of the point maximum

It's really not that different.

Running has judges. Just the other day in the women's 1500m (I think) a woman was initially disqualified for pushing someone. She appealed and the decision was reversed. It's all about interpretation and subjectivity.

I can't think of any sport that doesn't have a judge or referee that has to subjectively interpret athlete's actions and the sport's rules.

Very cool!

Has anyone tried this yet?

And was wondering where this would work, is there a list of places that are supported?

Where I'm from a 36 hour work week is the norm. I work 4 × 9 hours and have every Wednesday off (plus I have like 9 weeks off every year). Some colleagues do work 40 hours a week and then save a day off every two weeks. A friend does this and he takes one fairly long holiday (like a month) and also a week or two off every two months or something.

And you can also take a sabbatical and be guaranteed of your job when you get back. A guy I know from another department took a year off to take a trip around the world with his girlfriend.

Yeah the search is not forgiving. One typo is enough to ruin the search results.

How well an area is mapped also matters a lot for search though. I now live somewhere that has all addresses in the country mapped from a government source. I didn't before, and it's so much easier now because at least I can just punch in the address and I'll find whatever I'm looking for.

Oh yeah I agree 100%, this whole thing is ridiculous and shows wells Fargo don't trust their employees and have to resort to this kind of bullshit.

I'm just saying it's possible that these employees were fired merely for using this mouse moving software, not because they weren't getting much work done.

The article doesn't say the fired employees were doing this all the time. They could have used them for an hour here and there while they were out running an errand. Very difficult to spot that on any work review.

Where I'm from credit cards aren't really a thing (they exist obviously but I think people mainly use them when on holiday elsewhere or when buying flights or something since often the card will have some sort of insurance).

Anyway, I was wondering what you use/used your credit card for to get so much debt? Not shaming you in the slightest, just curious since I don't even own a credit card. And what is the interest on it? Do you pay interest every month? What happens if you can't pay?

Just curious about the logistics of cc debt. I hear it from stories from the US all the same but don't understand how it really works.

It's where Kılıçdaroğlu is from

Better late than never, right?

Yeah this is basically an ad.

Also to note: all they say about the built-in password manager of Firefox is that it lacks the feature to save credit cards. But I don't care about that and am perfectly happy using Firefox (alongside pass (https://www.passwordstore.org/) on my laptop).

[–] johan@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

I used 'reader mode', or whatever it's called, on Firefox and that worked well.

 

I've never owned a TV before but recently purchased a Samsung TV.

In terms of privacy, is it recommended I use its internal OS to log into things like Netflix or Disney+, or is it better to use a Chromecast for those things?

I figured if I use a Chromecast I can simply not connect my TV to the Internet at all. Of course, it does mean I'll be using a Google product.

And what privacy related issues am I opening myself up to in the first place? What kinds of things do TVs and Chromecasts track?

Anything else I should be considering?

 

Title says it all, I'm looking for something as user-friendly as a chromecast but not made by a company like google. I'm familiar with linux and if some open source software exists that can do this I would love it.

Ideally it would be able to stream things like Netflix and Disney+ using a smartphone. Would be great if it can also play local files from an external hard drive, but I have a raspberry pi with Kodi for that so that's not a hard requirement by any means.

Price range: preferably under €/$/£100 but for something truly excellent it can be a bit more than that.

 

I have an iphone for work that I'm also allowed to use for personal stuff. I don't use it often, but it has a great camera and is a useful backup for 2FA if I would lose my primary (android) phone.

It also gives me the option to use Apple Pay. Paying with my android doesn't work, my bank's app is shitty. It would be useful to have an alternative for my bank card, so I was considering setting up Apple Pay.

But I wanted to know: what information will apple get if I use Apple Pay? Do they get the payment details of every payment I make? Will they know anything about payments I make with my card?
