fubarx@lemmy.mlto Data Is Beautiful@lemmy.ml•How Many Episodes Should You Watch Before Quitting a TV Show? A Statistical Analysis9·4 months agoGenerally have a tough time, especially with streaming, to stick with something past Season 3 (looking at you, Breaking Bad).
It’s hard to infinitely amp up the stakes without going off the rails.
fubarx@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?2·4 months agoTraditionally, there have been a few classes of companies in the U.S: C Corp, S Corp, LLC (Limited Liability Company) aka partnerships, and Closed. Most companies in the U.S. are organized as one of these, with their responsibility toward shareholders, who want to see their money grow.
If you wanted to work for a company that didn’t necessarily have infinite growth as its mission, the only option was to find a Non-Profit, but they may not have the kind of funding to spend on legal visas.
In the last few years, two other types of companies have emerged. They’re similar, but legally different: B-corp (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_Corporation_(certification)), and PBC or Public Benefit Corporation (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_corporation).
These can be for-profit, but have to have a stated mission in their charter to provide a benefit of some sort to the public.
The links above point at some examples, but you may want to do your own research. Those companies may have the resources to pick up your visa, and may better align with the values you’re looking for.
Ideally, and when able, your best bet would be to start your own business and set it up just the way you want.
That was… mesmerizing.
Surprised it got the spelling right.
fubarx@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Which is best at mitigating browser fingerprinting? Firefox (with or without arkenfox)? Librewolf? Mullvad browser?18·5 months agoCan’t someone come up with a browser that just randomly lies when asked about the characteristics that could be used for fingerprinting?
Except for trusted, whitelisted sites.
That seems like it would be a pretty good privacy enhancer.

Attach free beer to point levels and watch this thing explode.
Have only seen short clips and not once found it funny, but since you asked…

fubarx@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun?5·9 months agoAnd the one time the rocket goes kablooey on its way up, everyone down the flight path will get a shower of used hypodermic needles, disposable vapes, and old appliances.

Crying at what you get for the price, from California 😩
fubarx@lemmy.mlto Minneapolis - St. Paul Metro@midwest.social•3M dials back remote work policy9·9 months agoWas talking to a friend last week. He said the first company that offers fully remote, 4-day, 32-hour work weeks at full salary and benefits will get FLOODED with quality resumes, and nobody will ever want to leave there.
I’m feeling attacked.
fubarx@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do I get my clothes to smell like I just bought them at the store?14·9 months agoPlastic, nitrogen (or some inert gas, if packaged), and formaldehyde.
Yum!
fubarx@lemmy.mlto Electronics@discuss.tchncs.de•Opened an old scientific instrument to see if it works...English14·9 months agoProtip: once you dissolve as much of the gunk as possible, take a small metal brush and give the contacts a scrub. If they’re coated, this helps open up metal contact surface to give the new batteries a chance.
But if the contacts are too corroded, you may need to MacGyver something with a soldering iron.
Programming.dev seems like a good option.
Since this is meta… however this ends up getting resolved could be a good template for consolidating multiple sparse communities across the Fediverse into a single, more populated one.
