Firefox, for the illusion of privacy it provides over Chrome, without requiring much effort on my part.


Agreed. The tool chain help in here is very useful for a beginner.


My employees don't seem to understand why I prefer they email questions to me instead of calling. The clarity writing often brings aids the conversation. I frequently call once I have the email.


Haven't noticed any problem here. A poor A/B test, maybe? I find DDG's results superior to Google's 99.9% of the time, anyhow.


Both, of course. Depth in one or a few areas, breadth in many unrelated areas.


Do you think it is wrong for society to have contractual requirements such as "I will help you if you are trying to help yourself"?


Counterpoint: do you think it’s wrong to let the sick stay sick and not help them? Addiction is a sickness and often requires a lot of help addicts can not themselves do to quit. You can’t expect someone who isn’t able to help themselves help themselves. This is the crux of the issue.

Also, people in half way houses or assisted living absolutely should be sober so they don’t cause anyone else in the facility to regress, but it is a hard problem. These people often need intense rehabilitation and these programs are neither quick or cheap. Someone has to run the program and success is never guaranteed. Mandatory government funded rehab would be AMAZING, but imagine how many people would crow about their “freedom” to shoot up meth is being infringed if that happened at the federal level.

This is a very hard problem and there aren’t easy solutions. My opinion changed a bit after I married a girl with a masters in social work. This is very draining heavy emotional capital work.


Agreed we need to help the sick, I didn't make that clear enough. I was trying to understand if the previous poster thought it was wrong to say "Here is housing and a program. You can't have the housing without the program."

After working with foster and adoption of two preteens from an unhealthy home situation my opinions have changed a bit as well. Compassion is hard - it should push us to do. Now if I can just work on being less blunt ...


Empathy is the solution to many of society's current problems. That and more social workers.


Sometimes, yes.

When someone has thrown themselves off a bridge, do we send out rescuers always or only under particular circumstances?


Better now than to be fired or forced out due to personality conflicts in a year. Sometimes a bad fit is invisible until you are in the trenches - insufferable bosses might be hard to see before. Is it worth slogging on? I don't know your bosses, perhaps you will learn to tune it out or they will back off when you aren't new any longer.

(And it is refreshing to see per se used correctly. Thanks!)


Also, does anyone know of a multi-user password manager that can have permissions assigned to users? A number of the government accounts we use have a single company level login and keeping password changes synced between multiple users is difficult. We currently use one manager with a shared password but I would prefer something with better permissions and history.


1Password has fairly extensive permissions and can do this


Have you tried Bitwarden (vaultwarden for selfhosted)?

I'm pretty sure, you're able to share access to a login with just one person. Or make a "collection" of accounts and give that access to individuals as you wish.

https://bitwarden.com/help/about-collections/


Bitwarden sharing requires the use of collections always. It's either in your personal vault or your organization's vault, at which point an admin can see all the entries and assign them to 0 or more collections. If you have strict rules on who can create, access and edit entries, it's a bit painful to set up.


Yes. I decided I have to get in shape. Weight loss is part of it and I am slowly working on that but some basic barbell work has improved things amazingly.


I don't know how to feel about the move to remote. I work remotely and like it. However, it is a struggle being one of the few remote workers at an office-first company. How to build culture in those cases is difficult. Also, those of us who are not fond of social interaction do benefit from forced interaction.
