Favorite brand?

I miss my Zune. Do you seriously still have one?

Jesus fucking christ these comments.

AlecSadler, to asklemmy in What are some of your cheap eats hacks?

Got any go-to recipes?

Lately I’ve been doing an instant pot basmati rice cooked in beef broth and finished with lime zest and cilantro.

I really wish half loaves of bread were more common.

…what??

Ahh, okay, that makes some sense. Thanks!

Yeah, my bad, that’s what I do - so I just wasn’t sure what the benefit of SimpleLogin was…fully open to admit maybe I’m missing something though.

I basically create an email alias for every service I use and when leaks happen I know exactly who the offender is - which is nice…I guess.

Serious question, why SimpleLogin vs Proton aliases?

AlecSadler, to memes in Dating

My wife and I started living together after 3 months, talking marriage at 6, and formally engaged at 9 months. We’ve been married over 6 years now.

I don’t have time for high school nonsense. I’m not going to burn 1+ years of my life on a “maybe”. The older I get, the better I learn what I want and don’t want.

We both had similar goals, or rather, goals that we could grow in together and not go separate ways. We had a shared sense of humor. My weaknesses were her strengths and vice versa. And we have activities we love doing together and things we love doing alone. It’s fucking great.

AlecSadler, to memes in Taking for granted

Absolutely! I had a job some 3 years back that said if I continue to perform well, I could probably be promoted in 2 years.

This was on the heels of no bonuses or raises that year (well, for the team I was on).

2 years? Also that was the team’s reward after a year of work? This was a Fortune 500 company with over $10B in revenue.

The next month…layoffs. We spent the month figuring out all the tribal knowledge that went out the door.

The next month after that…contractors must take 2 unpaid days off every month and holiday closures don’t count towards that.

The next month they said, “Good news! We’re renewing your contract.” - Nope. I’m out.

Last I heard everyone on my team also left in the following 3 months, the director of the department also left, and the VP got forced out and replaced.

Endless cycle of garbage.

AlecSadler, to memes in Taking for granted

It’s an absolute cluster. It’s also led to me just not caring about the job or company anymore (not like I should).

I love supporting the team and my immediate coworkers, but I’m not there to make friends. For all we know our entire project gets canned one day anyway.

It’s a sad state of affairs to basically take advantage of this situation, but like…company loyalty doesn’t pay my bills.

AlecSadler, to memes in Taking for granted

Sad, but true. First 7 years of my software career were split between two companies and despite 3 promotions and exceeding expectations in reviews regularly, salary growth was between 2-5% YoY.

Most recent 5 years of my career I’ve changed jobs every 6ish months and am now averaging about 40% YoY salary growth.

AlecSadler, to lemmyshitpost in A lesson in Input Validation

I…never thought of this, thank you for the idea.
