✨Abigail Watson✨to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who know where/when they contracted COVID, how long after your exposure did you become symptomatic?1·2 years agoIt depends on what variant you get. Older strains could become symptomatic up to a week later, newer strains as little as 1-2 days. It’s nearly impossible for the average person to know what strain they have and the older ones are still floating around.

✨Abigail Watson✨to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Applying for a job where the scale is lower than I currently make. Is it ok to bring that up in negotiations?2·2 years agoAt my last interview, I was already making 10k more than their ceiling. I just said “my current salary is x, I’m not looking for a pay raise but could you match it?”. They did! I think it was a one two punch of showing off my worth with having a high salary but also being humble by not asking for more. It also helps to approach it as a matter of fact yes or no question and not as a negotiation.
✨Abigail Watson✨to Tech Support Memes@lemmy.ca•Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?12·2 years agoMy work sends out fake phishing emails and the people who click them get in trouble. Of course, they always come from one particular address that I blocked.
I wish they’d do more realistic emails though. “You won a prize you didn’t apply for!” is pretty basic. If it was one of those fake invoice PDFs I always get on my personal, I’d totally let a trojan onto the work network.
✨Abigail Watson✨to Books@lemmy.ml•What are some book series like Harry Potter [quaint, pleasant, deep lore] but less childish and bigoted?2·2 years agoI tried reading Mort, but it’s very… dense. While I do enjoy the occasional book with flowery, descriptive language, I got a quarter of the way through it and no real plot happened.
✨Abigail Watson✨to memes@lemmy.world•Pour one out for the youtubers that chased the algorithm away from what you enjoy.60·2 years agoUgh, I used to follow a wildlife channel. The head of their YouTube had a kid, and then every other video was her repeating “can you say jackal?” over and over and OVER. I’m here for wildlife videos, not to watch your kid ignore the camera getting shoved in their face. But everyone was super positive towards the first kid video and she thought it was encouragement. For shame.
✨Abigail Watson✨to Vintage@lemmy.world•"She can have a tummy and still look yummy," Chubbettes, August 27, 195655·2 years agoBeing a teenage girl in the 50s must have been awful. I’ve also seen a lot of ads from that era for girls that are too skinny and need to gain weight. The acceptable “pretty” range must’ve been really small.
✨Abigail Watson✨to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a well known 'public secret' in the industry you work in that the majority of outsiders are unaware of?113·2 years agoAccounting is a goddamn mess. There’s lots of mistakes in accounting, finance, banking, etc but we’re supposed to act to outsiders like they never happen. Publicly traded companies (US) get audited every year, but no audit company would give a paying customer a failing grade. New grads are funneled into working for public firms - the 10 or so companies that cater to the world’s audit, tax, and consulting needs. They’re supposed to teach discipline, but in reality they only teach you security theater. You’re worked to the bone until you either burn out or agree to perpetuate the system to keep your job.
And the only reason it continues to work is society’s social contract agreeing that it has to work because we don’t have any other options. All it takes is the rumors that the idea is failing - like in the silicon valley bank run - and we’re all out of luck. With the speed of information these days all it takes is a few minutes for a situation to spiral out of control. It’s bonkers.
I got into accounting because I enjoyed bookkeeping in high school. Now that I’m in it I refuse to work for anything larger than a mid sized, non public company.
Where I live we call it “Minnesota nice”. As a transplant I can’t speak it well, so I have no idea what anyone thinks of me. It’s pretty frustrating.
Aslan didn’t allow the oldest girl into “heaven” with the other kids in the last book because she… checks notes… wore makeup and liked boys. C S Lewis got reeeal puritanical towards the end of that series.
✨Abigail Watson✨to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Android Game Popup AdsEnglish8·2 years agoIn your android settings, go to network & internet > advanced > private DNS and paste the link dns.adguard-dns.com into the box. All ads will assume you have no Internet connection. Doesn’t appear to work on YouTube, but covers anything from the Google Play store banners/videos/etc.
This looks 100% normal on mobile. What platform are you using?
“Female” as an adjective describes gender.
“Female” as a noun is typically used by incel communities to refer to a woman as an object, not a person. In this context, it is either used to identify women as a sex object or to imply that her emotions/needs/feelings don’t matter because she’s not human. Coded language in English is called a dog whistle, meaning it’s a secret way for someone to say how they really feel when an idea isn’t socially acceptable.
✨Abigail Watson✨to Relationship Advice@lemmy.world•My gf (f23) found an old video of me (m22) with an ex and wont talk to me now.English3·2 years agoThese giant images you keep using contribute nothing and make it harder to read a thread. Kinda funny that you’re the one posting “shit advice award” and “blocked” when the only thing you’re contributing is a bad attitude.
Romantic killer was a lot of fun, but isn’t that about high school?
✨Abigail Watson✨to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•is there anything much useful I can do with an iPad 1? (not picture frame)1·2 years agoThe two big risks with jailbreaking are:
- You’re running an old operating system that’s missing modern security updates.
- Any app you install or website you visit has easier access to your root files, as opposed to the “sandbox” approach for a non jailbroken device.
I wouldn’t recommend doing anything that requires your banking or personal info. This device should get its own apple account and if you need to pay for something, use a gift card. Only use jailbroken apps from trusted sources - after all this time, most sources that are malicious for older app versions should be easily identifiable with a little research. There is also iSecureOS which can check if you downloaded something bad or have a third party connected to your device.
The internet itself isn’t a risk, it’s what you do with it. Don’t use your device for general web browsing, don’t use the device outside of your home, don’t use the internet after the device is set up, and use iSecureOS regularly to check the health of your device. As long as it is set up correctly and you’re only using the iPad for one specific project, it should be fine.
If you have questions about how to jailbreak or where you can safely find apps, I’d recommend checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/
Wait, THAT was the issue? (I thought it was another program that got sold, and the new owner bundled it with malware or something.) Is there something wrong with MuseGroup? I’ve been using MuseScore for ages.
Girlfriends, going to the bathroom together, spending a lot of time in there? 🧐 The team is going to start some rumors…
