I think you misinterpreted what I meant. It was written from the perspective of a person who gets job offers in word files, mostly on LinkedIn. Like, just write it out in your message. I'm not opening files random people send me via any platform, much less LinkedIn, get real.

The number of times I got a word doc with the job description in it is ridiculous as well. Yes, I am judging you if you do that.

A PDF is also editable, sure, but at least everyone can open the goddamn thing without any problems.

It already exists, even as a Docker. Not as simple as an *arr style interface, but it works great one you set it up.

I disagree. I absolutely love the fact that I can just turn it off after office hours and throw it in a corner during holidays and weekends. Sure, it's a bit cumbersome to take two phones with you, but it's also cumbersome to take the laptop and everything with you all the time. Just put it in the same bag and you're good. Good to note, my employer provides me with a phone, so I didn't need to buy a second one. It also means that if I switch jobs, I just return the phone and still have my personal device.

But if it doesn't work for you, by all means, don't do it. For me the good outweighs the bad.

To not even consider the consequences of deploying systems that may farm your company data in order to train their models "to better serve you". Like, what the hell guys?

Oh don't worry. If you try to deposit it at a bank, they'll start asking questions right away on how you got the money. Unless you never bring it into the "official" system, the financial surveillance system will find it.

In my experience, charities try to get you on a recurrent donation nowadays instead of taking cash or transfers (although I am in the Netherlands, not Belgium). It's terribly annoying because they take the "being lazy and forget about it" and weaponise it against you.

I use them as well. Cheap, reliable and easy to use. I only had trouble once, where I was caught in some sort of anti-spam measure and they blocked my account. An email to their support fixed the problem pretty quickly though.

One thing to look out for is to determine where you want your backups. You can't change your account's server location after you create your account afaik.

At the very least, do so for the infrastructure. I don't mind companies trying to sell me the service competitively, but the infrastructure should allow for a competitive market.

As the owner of a Fairphone, this is indeed my experience. The only non-standard app is the Fairphone app, which is easily ignored or might even be useful.

That looks good! I think I'll try it out soon, thanks for the tip 🙂

Might be a slightly unpopular opinion, but Volumio (software for a raspberry pi to run it as a headless audio system). It's good, it's relatively well maintained and works. But paying 7,50 a month for this software to get multiroom audio, Tidal integration and some other stuff is ridiculously expensive. That's nearly 90 euro a year and the only thing that is actually an addition server side is syncing settings across devices and the Tidal integration (requires license fees iirc).

And sure, I can't buy multiroom speakers for that kind of money, but damn, is it expensive.
