I wish I had realized that I was still young.

I had some early startup-ish projects in the late-nineties/early-2k's, they crashed and burned with the dotcom crash, and I felt like I had lost any chance at making something cool or any kind of impact. I even felt like, at the age of 28, I was too old for dating and had missed all my opportunities.

Things picked up for me in every respect — professional and personal — at age 35. You really are as young as you feel.

As someone who just turned 35 last week, thanks for this.

Salesforce does offer 10 free licenses for nonprofits.

Does one count as a nonprofit if their company is losing money? :v
adar commented on Why is LinkedIn so cringe?   trungphan.substack.com/p/... · Posted by u/hui-zheng

LinkedIn probably has a net benefit for your career by keeping up to date and checking the messages once a week, but I cannot get over the awkwardness of seeing total BS stories and thousands of replies saying "YES! AMEN!".

"I was running late to an interview this morning but stopped to help a man who fell off of his bike and fixed it up for him. Afterwards I bought him a coffee and talked about life. He mentioned how he had to go to work but was touched by meeting me, he said we had a real connection. I go to the interview and guess what! The man was my interviewer! He immediately offered me a job at 1.5m a year plus bonuses and is fast tracking me to become a regional director. Remember to be a nice human #Hashtag #Human #WEAREPEOPLE #ConnectWithMe"

It's just a giant circle jerk.

My favorite riff on these is when the poster is headed to an interview but saves a dog along the way, and the dog turns out to be the interviewer.

What's up with the swastika symbol in the footer?
adar · 4 years ago
It's a Hindu/Buddhist swastika, which is still widely used by adherents of said religions.

So you say your current position is to be rather carefully around anything by/from Google, but you trust Internet randos to build the binary of the browser you use?

Okay.

How did you come to this conclusion when they stated that they'd rather use Firefox? Or are you saying Mozilla are the internet randos?

If you are on Windows and in a single network take a look at Voicemeeter and VBAN: https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/banana.htm

This is a good tip but unfortunately I'm on Windows on one computer and Fedora on the other.

I've been looking for a simple way to be able to listen to audio from my desktop and laptop simultaneously without requiring a hardware mixer or something. I'm currently using Scream but there is a bit of latency/delay.

Farplay seems to be more for audio recording, but would Farplay be a good solution for my use case?

Edge has built in support for vertical tabs, tab groups, and chrome extensions.

IMHO, Edge is the best chromium based browser out there, and for me is miles better than Chrome itself.

IMO Vivaldi's implementations of vertical tabs and tab groups is superior, but Edge is definitely a close second.
