I see your point, but seems the same effort as a QR scan

Why is NFC needed in this case? Regardless of this being a potential security risk (which it is, but it’s not my point here), does it provide any additional value over a QR scan, which can easily store a URL or a contact information?

Depends on how it’s configured by the company. I’ve faced in the past the situation of having to login with the company email to be able to use the MFA with a propietary app, which meant I needed to enroll into the BYOD policy and it includes remote device management.

Ended up installing an emulator in the work laptop just for that purpose and left the company shortly after.

Haven’t seen them in any store yet, but looking at the traction that SMT had it would make sense to add them soon

Been using ghost commander for years, never had any issue, it’s available both in f-droid and google play

Hey, I also did not like the separate window for downloads and preferred a tab, there is an easy trick to avoid it, just add a bookmark with the URL about:downloads and it’s done (been using it for years)

Huffman argued this week that Reddit is a business, telling NPR “it’s time we grow up and behave like an adult company.”

First sign to be a grown up company is to tackle major changes with an appropiate timeline and get feedback from the community that helped you get where you are now. Also, if you really want to kill 3rd party apps, be transparent and say it instead of setting ridicule high prices and pretending those are market numbers.

Huffman has also said that the protests have had little impact on the company financially.

Yet there he is, forcing subreddits to reopen and giving interviews to major tech outlets daily.

What a clown.

Unfortunately, many of us experienced something similar.

Spent some years in a consulting company that used the same strategy, small sacrifices by the employees from time to time whilst they were declaring record profits year by year. Although the methodology is despicable, reality is that it works. Not only the law allows it (and if they get a fine it’s still worth it since the system is rigged) but also there will always be people that will stay no matter what (not wanting to get out of the comfort zone, peer pressure…). If you think about it, there are many companies that become viable just because they exploit their employees.

In my experience, if they are already doing this they will never stop pushing forward this type of policies, so my suggestion is that, in case you can’t avoid the extra hours, do the barely minimum to not get fired and start looking for a new job (bonus points if you convince other employees to do the same)

I will mourn for awhile, until I cant even remember why im upset anymore, and when I wake up tommorrow the world will be just a little bit worse. it always is.

Felt this many times and you couldn’t have expressed it better. Sometimes I thought “maybe I’m getting old and you tend to idealize how the world was in your younger years” but the current situation with reddit is a clear example of this not being the case.

As a reddit refugee, happy to start becoming a part of the fediverse :)
