  • This is mostly an American problem. Here in the EU it’s less of an issue. Even here in Spain, where we work 9 to 6 or 9 to 7, is always because, either we have a big break in the middle of something. And regarding kids, I don’t have them, but those who do in my company usually take the time off to go, pick then up and get them home or something if the school is nearby. Otherwise they arrange some home delivery or something, as I recall.



  • In general, password managers are a must-have in today’s world. The question is not if you should have one, but which one and why.

    As a Software Engineer very conscious about security and privacy, but also with a high practicality sense, I’d say you should opt for whatever you feel more comfortable.

    If you don’t want to manage anything, then 1password, BitWarden, LastPass or any of those might be right for you. If you are more of the kind to tinker with everything, then you can have your own OwnCloud/NextCloud and use KeePassXC.

    I particularly used the later setup, but NextCloud was too much to handle for me, and settled with KeePassXC + Dropbox.

    You do you, but use a password manager.



  • Reddit was a washed down 4chan. For those who came from a forum life in the 00’s and knew 4chan too, Reddit made sense.

    That kind of content will keep happening and popping, and there will be a lot of people supporting it. Because we’ll always have teenagers eager to see fringe stuff, and social misfits that want to be seen/heard.

    I think that we need to understand that Lemmy and the Fediverse can hold such things, but they aren’t at fault for that. Reddit was faulty as a corporation, but not as a platform. And because Lemmy, the Fediverse and ActivityPub are techs free to anyone, they aren’t liable for this, but the owners of the instances of these techs are.

    We have already seen how this plays out, thankfully. We’ve seen a lot of instances defederating exploding-heads.com, and this is good. The same with many people saying to defederate from Meta’s new social network.

    I think we need to understand that, profoundly, human beings are very heterogeneous. We’ll always have nice and bad people. And that communities reflect that. Having everything in one instance (Reddit) is not a very good solution. Having them in different instances and each one with their own ethos, makes more sense as a society. Especially because we behave like that. I usually don’t mingle with douchdbags.
