People are paying out of pocket or using their own PC for work
  • If, as an employee, you offer your personal laptop or pay for work expenses out of pocket without asking to get it reimbursed, no functioning company will question it or bother.

    If you need something for work and they won’t give it to you, then you can’t work. It’s as simple as that.

  • I don’t usually recognize Lemmy users but I’ve run into your posts a lot these last few days. I assumed you were a bot but from interactions like these it’s clear you mean well. Love to see Lemmy growing from power users like yourself!

  • Have you ever realized just how broken you are?
  • I had a similar relationship with my father. He was an alcoholic. These days I don’t have much of a relationship with him. I recognize that he’s a better person now that he’s older, but I don’t really see him as “dad”. Just “father”.

    My mom sometimes asks if I will regret not spending more time with him. Honestly, I’m not sure I would. I don’t have many fond memories with him at all. It’s weird saying this knowing that I have a father who loves me in his own way when others might not have one at all.

  • Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?
  • Sounds like the system is just stuck on old tech. If I can tell that rain will reach my area from a precipitation radar map then I’m fairly certain an ML based system can do this too.

    I suppose there’s just no money in it.

  • Why are weather apps so bad at telling you the current weather?

    I understand that weather on TV can’t be hyperlocally accurate. But a weather app on my phone has my exact GPS coordinates. Why can’t it tell me exactly when a rain cloud will be passing over my location?

    It’s gotten to the point where I just use precipitation maps to figure out my rain chances for the day.

    The hourly forecast is mostly useless because it’s not a chance % but a % of the area that will be raining.

  • Any recommendations for iPhone screen protectors that do not take away from the display?
  • 🤷 I dropped my previous phone with no screen protector, screen cracked. I dropped my current phone, screen protector cracked, screen is perfectly fine.

    n=2, but enough for me to just keep a screen protector on at all times.

  • Any recommendations for iPhone screen protectors that do not take away from the display?

    I've noticed that most commercially available glass screen protectors are too reflective, or too noticeable. It really takes away from the gorgeous Apple display.

    Has anyone used a brand that mirrors the quality of finish that comes on the iPhone displays?

  • I spun up Plausible for my company site. Pretty straight forward honestly. It’s completely dockerized so there’s not a lot going on.

    Your biggest problem is exposing the service on your home server to the internet. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, but if you know what you’re doing it’s possible.

  • Do you tip for takeout? (How much?)

    Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

    US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

    Charger: Weapon Attack…

    … is an extremely lackluster feat. I had originally read the skill description as being a main OR bonus attack and that felt really strong. After getting the feat I am now stuck with a meaningless skill that takes both actions for what is essentially just a walk + hit.

    Am I missing something with this feat?

    [Bug] Blank white screen when loading this post
    lemmy.zip New custom theme for Lemmy.zip - Lemmy.zip

    Hey everyone, we’ve made a new theme for our instance. It’s set as the default instance theme at the moment so if the theme setting in your profile is set to ‘Browser Default’ then you should already be seeing it. Folded is a theme based on another custom theme, Lemonberry [https://github.com/thayer...

    No way to reset or go back other than by resetting the app. Screen is completely blank and white. Only the system menu bar on the very top is visible (clock, cell signal, wifi signal, and battery).

    How do I see posts I've made on other instances?

    I had made a post on a Beehaw community. I see comments in my inbox, but when I click “Posts” in my profile nothing shows up. To be clear, the beehaw post is my only post ever on this account.

    Why McDonald's dropped tomatoes from Indian menus
    www.bbc.com Why McDonald's dropped tomatoes from Indian menus

    A kilo of tomatoes now costs more than a litre of petrol in the country. Here's why.

    Why McDonald's dropped tomatoes from Indian menus

    This seems particularly problematic. Tomatoes are an Indian staple.
