Have you ever worked for a scam? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Well, I went through a recruitment process for a Ponzi scheme company. It was wild, but the first filter was an interview by some "hot" woman (sorry, I was like 21) so, I guess I was nervous and passed to the next part of the recruitment process. This third part (the first was only a couple of documents) was frankly nauseous for my kind of education, in this phase, a proper brainwash about how unions, worker rights and health insurance are just obstacles between us and real success in life and some other nonsense, happened to a group of applicants clearly infiltrated. At that exact moment I wanted to go home, but somehow I was feeling unsafe surrounded by the staff (people, I guess, already in the Ponzi scheme). They wanted us to come back the next day to sell perfumes for free or to buy them perfumes to sell by ourselves or something. Of course, I didn't come back, but it was traumatizing.

Oh, actually, /u/bobbyfiend, already mentioned the same kind of "business", except this is Mexico. It's not rare to find these "ideas" being deployed in several countries, like Scientology.

The third from the end to the beginning is quite spectacular showing the effect. I'd put that one first, honestly.

Well, you bet me to it, but what can I say? That's my answer, too.

Which is one of the reasons I'd still buy one.

No, I'm not a bot? What do you mean?

See, OP is not saying we should "just drop red meat", and this is probably why you get that kind of reactions.

U.S. Is Only Country To See Tourism Decline In 2025 in c/politics@lemmy.world

It's because Israel is one of the USA. It was a clarity moment.

Netanyahu, formally accused of "war crimes" and "starvation as a method of warfare", also murder and persecution, in no less than the International Criminal Court, is still welcome. He's even called the "greatest man" alive by the POTUS, a close friend whom Netanyahu knows his most intimate secrets. Meanwhile, the embassador of the USA in Mexico cancels visas to complete strangers through Twitter because they voiced their opinions on the way they are treating Mexicans everywhere in the USA, from Mexico. 1+1=2.

I couldn't get one myself. The battery issue is none for me. It's not rare that battery replacement becomes (nearly) impossible for final users once it reaches its EOL, so I switched to gadgets that use standard size rechargeable batteries if possible.

Check the new Power Ampache app! (github.com)

Years ago, when Owncloud was still the only self hosted cloud solution around, the Music app used to come with an Ampache backend to connect to your music through client apps. My favorite for Android was Power Ampache, it was almost the only one, that and an extension for the really old Just Player. After a while, a Subsonic server was added to the Music app and these Subsonic clients proliferated. So, I switched to a Subsonic client, then another, and another... none was really doing it for me. DSub is great but looks dated and lacks some features, others are not mature enough, and some I just find too barebones.

Recently, Power Ampache 2 was released, and even though it's still in beta or even alpha, it already looks great and my favorite client again. Check it out if you have an Ampache server or a Nextcloud instance with music!

How to update to Nobara 39 if transaction test errors arise (lemmy.ml)

So, I was having a hard time trying to update Nobara 38 to Nobara 39. Did the KDE swap, followed the website instructions to upgrade but in the last part, after:

$sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39 -y

I'd get:

Error: Transaction test error:

file /usr/lib64/libopenh264.so.2.3.1 conflicts between attempted installs of noopenh264-0.1.0~openh264_2.3.1-2.fc39.x86_64 and openh264-2.3.1-2.fc39.x86_64

Tried several solutions to this without success but noticed it's just that two packages in the upgrade are trying to write the same file. My solution was to just disable the openh264 Cisco repo for the upgrade with:

$sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled fedora-cisco-openh264

You can do this also in the Diskover preferences.

After disabling the Cisco repo you can proceed with:

$sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=39 -y

$sudo system-upgrade reboot

Then, after a successful upgrade, go to Diskover > Preferences and enable (check) the fedora_cisco_openh264 repo. Finally, do perform a system update with Nobara update tool. Install whatever it tells you it's missing and then you are done.

Figured I'd share this here since the threads in Reddit don't show any clear fix to the problem. Hope someone can use it.

How do you feel about financing a genocide? (lemmy.ml)

I didn't want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I'm right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.

Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?

EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.
