What software does not exist but you wish it did?

Reply in thread

Wait, this definitely exists, I just can't remember the exact name of the app. I used it to detect Nestlé products (turns out way more things than I could imagine belong ti them). But basically you tell it things you support and things you are against. Then when you scan a barcode it tells you if it is aligned with your stance. Trying to find the app now, it was called Buycott, but it doesnt seem to show in the store,probably changed names

United pilot attacks passenger for taking too long in the bathroom, lawsuit alleges

Reply in thread

If I might speculate, My guess is they needed to land the plane and they cannot do that with him in there.

If say, he went in just as they were making final approach, 30min with him in there is definitely enough they would have to cancel the approach and delay. I can't say as to if a warning was given or what the circumstances were that led to him getting ya ked out, but something like that definitely can cause issues for pilots needing to get the plane down

I interviewed at a place I have actually worked at before. Twice. I applied to a position on one of the teams/project that I contributed to significantly. Seemed like a safe bet to get me out of my current toxic job. In the end, I was rejected for not having the experience they were looking for. Like what?? I literally wrote a good portion of the code in that project. What does that even mean?

I am not fully degoogled by any means (it is really hard when family uses and relies on Google products), but you can always start with your own domain and a private (paid) email service (like fastmail or proton). It's an easy step to take for yourself (but getting everyone you know to start using the new one takes time).

I have a Synology NAS I use for storage, photos, and media. It's easy mode storage l, and comes with a lot of apps you can install to replace ones you might use from Google/apple.
