I wish these strikes would normalize talking about your salary in the US.
It's such a huge source of power employers have over workers heads. People always say "research what equivalent roles get when negotiating" but the data that's out there is crap. Companies work hard to obfuscate what they pay people.
Agree. The number of people I know who "don't" cook blows my mind. 75% of my repertoire takes less than 30 minutes of involvement to cook. It's cheaper, healthier, and a great zen thing that's totally different from my day job.
For those trying to get started, do a meal kit that involves cooking, and start there. Not having to buy ingredients or plan things out makes it less intimidating.
Tilley FTW.
I live in the desert, they are common even if unfashionable lol.
I wish Apple was transparent enough to have a real comparison of their privacy.
Personal guess, Apple is generating just as much personal data, just using it less offensively than Google. That's not good but it's betterish, I guess.
Main things I'm stuck using Google for at the moment are Gmail and Maps. Gmail, because my address I've had over there since Gmail was invite only. Maps, because they are one of the only decent sources for restraunt reviews these days (why did Zomato have to kill UrbanSpoon :( )
Yeah, this is what concerns me.
Stock Android is neither. So for the average user, Apple iOS is probably better.
I'm on lemmy so I'm probably not the average user lol.
Pure personal preference. I've traditionally gone back and forth almost every time I get a new phone. It's really only in the last 2-3 years I've hit the point I significantly prefer android.
For me, some of the interface choices on iOS are no Bueno. Additionally, the lack of a button, or simulated button is not something I'm fond of.
I'm also not convinced they are more private. I think Apple's incentives line up more with mine than Google's, but only barely. Independent researchers are pretty mixed on whether Apple is actually blocking all apps, or just making it so Apple is the only one who can profit off of people's data.
The only reason I think they are probably more private is the giant hissy fit Facebook threw over their settings.
Went to signal awhile ago, mainly because it's secure and cross platform.
Corporate America is operating on the Car Dealership model: there are enough rubes to fleece it’s not worth the effort to get quality customers/employees.
