Interestingly, I became a morning person after a couple of years of being gently woken up by my cats around 7am, not with loud meowing. Now, I just enjoy waking up at that time every day, even on weekends.

ehehe James Friedman is the only account I miss after left Twitter 🤣🤣🤣

Some people just don't care. To me it really feels like they are trying to create the problems to later sell the solution, and it's a never ending cycle. I've quit my recent job because 90% of the team just sucks, security risks everywhere, the API just doesn't respect contracts, there's no contract actually, we just ask on private chats how to integrate with it really. New features on top of buggy code while support is on fire with the 100th bug ticket reported in just a week. Not to mention that you have a design team, a project manager and a "VP of engineering" but the epics they want you to do are almost just the title of the idea they had at lunch 😅.

This guys are very lucky because the operation teams is able to cash in millions of revenue a year by combining excel, monday and WhatsApp to do their jobs, while a few are still forced to interact with a piece of shit of software that the engineer department provides to them...

Anyway, some people just don't care.

Yup you guessed it right.

I can relate.

And some Slavic words have Latin origins. This guys explain it better:

Try a Mi Band. I usually don't recommend Xiaomi products because of their heavy tracking and intrusiveness, but if you only use the band during sleep, you should be fine. If you already have the know-how (which I suspect you do), you can control it yourself through Bluetooth, and the band will erase all data it holds once transmitted.

it is

You're probably talking about contractors and gross pay. That's probably why people here are misunderstanding your statement.

I'm sure this meme is aimed to the US but "the left" is very broad from where I'm from and I don't see any "science" in their propaganda to be honest. And improving people's lives is very subjective and have various interpretations. Let's just hear everyone from all political spectrums and vote about it shall we?

I don't believe the children should pay for they fathers mistakes. I was replying to the OP comment that suggests that we should take into account slavery has something to do with poor conditions some of said descendant of slaves are atm.

I came from a long line of poor people in the sense of money, and only one of my uncles was able to get a degree (from his pocket money and hard work, you have to pay even if it's a public university), recently a cousin was also able to get a degree as well. And me and my brother pursuit more technical courses.

I can have a decent income by working on projects from abroad but the Portuguese state takes ~70% of that in direct and indirect taxation.

Meanwhile I don't have a family doctor for 14 years now, and if I need something to be taken care of I need to get help in the private sector. Justice is slow, the streets and public buildings are decaying to a point of rupture, public administration is a complete disgrace in general...

I'm basically a slave to this corrupt politicians. They take my hard work in the form of taxation and provide nothing/almost nothing in return.

I meant directly descendant. And I don't disagree on your reasoning, it's true.

Dude, I'm not descendant of slaves and I'm pretty much a slave of the Portuguese state at the moment. If this corrupt cast of politicians wants to pay reparations, I do not oppose to it, but they need to pay it from their own pockets.

Yes, you have to pay an annual membership fee to Apple if you want your apps to stay listed in the App Store.

Not a brit, and I still think s01e01 is one of the best black mirror episodes ever. I whish any country in the EU would have a prime minister with the courage to f* a pig to save a life, although I know that's not the message of the the episode.

I've lost my girlfriend to this episode even before I met her. I was able to bring her back to the series with One Million Merits in her second attempt :D

Would have thought Google would be on top of this though, but probably not?

It's against play store ToS, but if somehow you can make it look organic enough it might be difficult to proof. In truth I don't know how this kind of services operate. I do think Google would try to counter this as much as possible yes. And 8M reviews can't be just from this kind of services, at some point you have real users engagement, you just need the initial visibility boost.

Good luck with your research🖖

Maybe something like this service. Find it a bit dishonest if you ask me, but I don't think it affects competition that much. People will try multiple apps if they don't find what they are looking for.

I'm waiting for this day
