Stop kidding yourselves.. Reddit isn't dying. It's growing.
0.5% of users turned to Lemmy while the rest bent over.

What started as criticism over errors in recent YouTube videos has escalated into allegations of sexual harassment, prompting the company to hire an outside investigator.

The key here is external. HR workers often have an incentive to quiet down such cases.

If you work remotely, your bosses are probably using software to track you. Here's how they'll catch you slacking off.

It's legal to spy on your employees in USA?
I'm beginning to think all their tinfoil conspiracy theories aren't completely baseless..

No, I don't think there is a "not insignificant" number of people who would jump ship. We're literally just a few nerds who dislike the monolithic corporate structure and care about privacy. Stop pretending the whole world is in the same boat. It's turning into a weird tinfoil conspiracy.
It's fine that we like it here, and I'm glad that we have an alternative, but people need to wake up and realize this isn't some huge activist movement where we're pwning "the man". They don't give two shits about these dumbass protests. They will do whatever necessary to continue growing and earning money. So stop giving a shit about them, stop talking about reddit, and just be happy users have the power with Lemmy.

66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
Reply in thread
I work in IT for a major telecom provider in Scandinavia, and almost everyone takes 3 weeks summer vacation, mostly at the same time.
Management recommends taking as much as possible over the summer, as we have a 5-6 week "slow period" when people's 3 weeks don't align.
Other than that, it's common to just take the rest during other school holidays.
We get 6 weeks by default and earn our way up to 7 weeks after 5 years.

Five years ago (20.08.2018) Greta Thunberg demonstrated the first time for more climate protection. What has she achieved so far?

They do it anyway though.
A full plane is still greener than a car with 1-2 passengers.

PSA: You can upload images to a Lemmy instance without anyone knowing

He probably means whitelisting domains when posting already uploaded images, clearly not having read the post

Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization based on your activity on the platform

No chance they will block out the entire EU market. They will probably just do the same as everyone else and make a specific EU policy.
Actually I think Meta Threads is still not available in EU for the same reasons.

I think 5-7 weeks vacation is normal in most of western European countries.

I work primarily in tmux and even in an IT department, people regularly say something along the lines of "woah are you hacking?"

Windows eats partitions
Reply in thread
If you install Linux first and then Windows on the same drive, it will fuck up your bootloader.
You can easily make Grub boot Windows, so just overwrite whatever fuckup Windows made, or install Windows first.
It won't happen with a simple update, though, that's for sure. Maybe if you're upgrading Windows to a new major release.

It should simply be considered false advertisement.
You can probably legally require your money back, saying it looks nothing like the photos, but that's not enough imo

‘Starfield’ Gets Its Harshest Review Yet: Bethesda’s Game Is ‘Small’ A ‘Shallow Ocean’
Reply in thread
I'm not sure if everyone's opinion just changed over night, but saying anything bad about Skyrim or Bethesda games used to get you downvoted to hell in casual video game communities, and this is even a Bethesda community.
People praise Skyrim like it's the greatest game ever, like it's the only game they ever played. What happened?

Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay
Reply in thread
It's like this in all Scandinavian countries.
6-7 weeks paid vacation.
Free healthcare (except dental. Also we still pay for prescription drugs, just not insane prices).
37 hours per week.
Almost equal parental leave (you're forced to take a month off work, paid of course, mothers a bit more, but then split is as you want).
And then keep in mind that we pay 40-60% taxes depending on income.

Hey, I remember this! Some guy made a really cool Mario and Portal crossover using this, called Mari0, back in 2016.
It has portals, multiplayer and lots of hats!

What Phone & OS should I get next?
There are lots of privacy oriented Android flavors out there. Most of them won't come with Google Play services installed. Any of them will be able to run any apps you need.
In my opinion, Google isn't bad at all when it comes to tracking and bloatware. They're much like Apple. It's the branded phones like Samsung that are absolutely horrible.
Anyway, check out the LineageOS Wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
It can give a quick overview of the devices which can easily install a custom ROM (OS). I heard good things about Fairphone
