Definitely not OK. But it exists and I don’t think people realize it goes beyond tracking clicks to taking actual screenshots that can be stitched together practically as a video. It sucks.

Can’t wait for the robo taxis to get vandalized.

Barring that, can’t wait until they fail miserably.

Because if another consumer imports it you don’t want it running the main method

Yup. Worked briefly for a company that would “snapshot” the browser view quite often, enough where if an issue arose we could somewhat replay the user’s interactions to try and repro the issue.

Ah, okay, thanks for the info! I’ve never used Duolingo so I genuinely don’t know.

I learned this a few years ago, I started taking half the day off because I was remote and they couldn’t tell.

And then I thought…what if I just fill that time with another job? So I picked up a 2nd…and then a 3rd.

None of them have given raises to employees in years now because “they can’t afford it” or “milestones weren’t hit”. And that sucks, but I use it to further justify my actions.

To be clear, I never let the team down and I always meet or exceed expectations performance review wise. So I really have zero guilt over this. These particular companies also grossly under pay for the industry so they kind of know that they wouldn’t be able to find anyone without paying far more.

You’re right, but I do think it is slightly our fault for protesting instead of storming the castle.

Say what you will about Jan 6th, but where is our, rightly placed, anger and passion to do the same?

Voting will not fix this. Protests will not fix this. Those elites need to fear for their life before things will ever begin to change.

I converted a couple W4 jobs to 1099 and have stopped paying quarterly.

For the remaining W4 jobs I set a stupidly high allowance so that it reduced withholdings super low (I was wary of claiming EXEMPT because I didn’t meet the koala-fications, but I feel like I could argue high allowance was a typo or miscalc).

I’m paying thousands less per month in federal taxes now. After a couple years of this and filing I obviously owe quite a bit, but they put me on a payment plan and at this rate it’ll take over 10 years to pay back assuming I don’t keep adding to the balance each year.

If/when they forcibly try to come for it, I’ll hopefully delay, deny, dispose. That is even if they exist AND I’m still in the US by then.

In another thread someone told me you can buy gems or something to keep your streak going.

That would’ve made me uninstall long before his comments.

Yes, that’s actually better than most.

Every time I go to SO I have to deal with CloudFlare checks or captchas. I’m not genuinely not sure why, but it has kept me from clicking SO links from search engines first. Not even using a VPN. Kind of odd.
