It depends on what variant you get. Older strains could become symptomatic up to a week later, newer strains as little as 1-2 days. It's nearly impossible for the average person to know what strain they have and the older ones are still floating around.

At my last interview, I was already making 10k more than their ceiling. I just said "my current salary is x, I'm not looking for a pay raise but could you match it?". They did! I think it was a one two punch of showing off my worth with having a high salary but also being humble by not asking for more. It also helps to approach it as a matter of fact yes or no question and not as a negotiation.

Accounting is a goddamn mess. There's lots of mistakes in accounting, finance, banking, etc but we're supposed to act to outsiders like they never happen. Publicly traded companies (US) get audited every year, but no audit company would give a paying customer a failing grade. New grads are funneled into working for public firms - the 10 or so companies that cater to the world's audit, tax, and consulting needs. They're supposed to teach discipline, but in reality they only teach you security theater. You're worked to the bone until you either burn out or agree to perpetuate the system to keep your job.

And the only reason it continues to work is society's social contract agreeing that it has to work because we don't have any other options. All it takes is the rumors that the idea is failing - like in the silicon valley bank run - and we're all out of luck. With the speed of information these days all it takes is a few minutes for a situation to spiral out of control. It's bonkers.

I got into accounting because I enjoyed bookkeeping in high school. Now that I'm in it I refuse to work for anything larger than a mid sized, non public company.

Where I live we call it "Minnesota nice". As a transplant I can't speak it well, so I have no idea what anyone thinks of me. It's pretty frustrating.

In your android settings, go to network & internet > advanced > private DNS and paste the link dns.adguard-dns.com into the box. All ads will assume you have no Internet connection. Doesn't appear to work on YouTube, but covers anything from the Google Play store banners/videos/etc.

So... During covid lockdowns I pretty much didn't leave my house. I did contract work that required zero human interaction, my groceries were contactless pickup, and none of my hobbies required other people. I recently started a new job and my social skills are downright awful. What are you supposed to do with your hands when you talk? What facial expressions should you make? How is your voice supposed to sound?

I did some internet research and found out I'm not the only one who lost their social skills after being isolated for 3 years. But anything I can find for advice is either generic/unhelpful, leads down the alt right rabbit hole, or is ungodly expensive. I'm hoping to find some basic introductory acting courses - voice training, method acting, improv, etc - that could help me stay flexible in conversations without freezing up. Is that possible? Are there any acting courses available to torrent?

The two big risks with jailbreaking are:

  1. You're running an old operating system that's missing modern security updates.
  2. Any app you install or website you visit has easier access to your root files, as opposed to the "sandbox" approach for a non jailbroken device.

I wouldn't recommend doing anything that requires your banking or personal info. This device should get its own apple account and if you need to pay for something, use a gift card. Only use jailbroken apps from trusted sources - after all this time, most sources that are malicious for older app versions should be easily identifiable with a little research. There is also iSecureOS which can check if you downloaded something bad or have a third party connected to your device.

The internet itself isn't a risk, it's what you do with it. Don't use your device for general web browsing, don't use the device outside of your home, don't use the internet after the device is set up, and use iSecureOS regularly to check the health of your device. As long as it is set up correctly and you're only using the iPad for one specific project, it should be fine.

If you have questions about how to jailbreak or where you can safely find apps, I'd recommend checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/

Wait, THAT was the issue? (I thought it was another program that got sold, and the new owner bundled it with malware or something.) Is there something wrong with MuseGroup? I've been using MuseScore for ages.

Jailbreaking allows full access, so you can sideload and there's an alternate app store called Cydia. Sometimes jailbreaking instructions will include installing it, or you may need to install it separately. You'll also need legacy iTunes. I haven't worked on anything quite that old but there are some YouTube tutorials still floating around.

I don't think jailbreaking would allow you to upgrade your operating system, but you could download/install apps yourself instead of using the app store. That would allow you to use older apps that meet your system specs.

When I Google "how to jailbreak iPad 1" there's lots of results. Is it a problem with the operating system being too old?

Would anyone be interested in a comic book community? It seems like the other comic communities are being camped on by "mods" with empty accounts. I'm not sure if @literature.cafe would allow a majorily image based group.

Or at least, can the delete button get a confirmation? I'm not the best typer and edit most of my posts 3-4 times. I've also deleted a ton of them by accident.

I've been going back and watching earlier seasons, which - I thought - had a smaller budget and less recognition. But after taking a closer look at the credits I realized there's a lot of celebrity heads that are voiced by the actual celebrities. The star trek episode actually had the full original cast - and those weren't bit parts! I get that the show's a social commentary, but wouldn't it have been easier to get sound alikes? Is there a story behind the show's giant special appearances list?

What is the BANNED tag? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I love the new tag feature. So far I've seen:

  • YOU
  • OP
  • ADMIN
  • BANNED

I'm wondering what that last one means though. Did the person get banned after writing that comment, or is it a warning that they're banned elsewhere? Did I accidentally block a user?

There are a lot of communities I haven't subscribed to since there were only 1-2 other users. I've also noticed that some communities started out strong and seemed to practically die.

But today I was looking for a community and searched through lemmy.world instead of my own instance. Turns out the subscribers never left - I just can't see them. For example:

  • if I search !dccomics@lemmy.ml using my home instance on liftoff, I see 2 subscribers
  • if I look up the same community using lemmy.world, I see 58 subscribers
  • if I look up the community in Google (not logged in), I see 58 subscribers
  • if I click on the !dccomics@lemmy.ml link in my own post, I see 110 subscribers
  • if I search using my home instance for new communities, say !curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works , there's 1 subscriber and no posts
  • if I access !curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works through my saved committees list, I can see posts

I've noticed the same issues on !lemmy.world and !sh.itjust.works , but I can only say that for sure because I know those instances should have more traffic. I don't think my instance has defederated with theirs.

Does anyone know of this is an issue with liftoff, lemmy, or simple defederation?

Can't see my own posts (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I've been having issues with searching, and realized this is connected. So when I search for communities through @lemmy.world I can find them just fine. But if I use my home instance @lemmy.blahaj.zone they're missing - even though I know we're not defederated. It turns out if I make posts on other instances, those posts won't show up on my profile.

After the hack my instance changed it's token (?) Which requires logging in again to comment/post. But when I viewed my profile, my posts were there! Then when I logged in they were gone again. I don't know anything about how apps work, but something with how it retrieves instance data is messing with features.

I haven't updated my music instrument library in years, especially since newer official software doesn't play well with pirated plugins. The last time I downloaded VSTs was 2012ish, back when PB and KAT were still good sources. Music technology (and the instruments people like to listen to) have taken a huge leap since then. I do mostly pop and jazz, so I've got East West, Session Horns, Session Strings, Broadway Big Band, Kontact, and a couple miscellaneous Native Instruments plugins. Does anyone know of production level VST sources for newer versions of these or better software?
