  • I use the xManager version, not sure if that still has all the trackers in it. Either way, I don't pay for premium and if the worst I have to put up with is a sponsored segment, I can tolerate that for not having to have my podcasts downloaded to my phone.

  • Spotify has the same option in 15 second intervals. It's great as long as I'm not in the car or the shower when the ad break hits.

  • Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss

    Jump

  • Charging at home or work would be great. From my perspective, the biggest obstacle to EV ownership is road trips. I just did a trip last week that was 2000 miles round-trip. Having to stop multiple times a day for charging would be a real challenge, not just for current lack of infrastructure, but also the time spent charging. Fuel stations are everywhere and I can have a full tank in <5 minutes. Until EV charging approaches these numbers, I don't see myself owning an EV. Although I guess there is the option to rent a traditional vehicle for those periods, I usually make multiple 1000+ mile trips per year, so those costs aren't insubstantial.

  • We’re hiring in the UK for the first time. What’s the best way to do it?

  • This sounds like a question for a UK-based labor lawyer, not Lemmy. Any answer you receive here, if not fully compliant with UK law, could result in penalties for your company.

  • Who do you like for political music?

    Jump

  • Yeah, they've got some bangers out there besides the ones I named, but I figured those two would give a pretty good idea of what one could expect from their music. I'm pretty partial to Savior, Satellite, and House on Fire myself.

    Jump

  • I've heard them, but I'm not as familiar with them as Siren Song and later albums. I also remember them being much harsher musically compared to their later stuff. I personally wouldn't recommend them to someone just getting into Rise Against as their current sound has evolved well past those albums, but they would be good for someone looking to see how the group sounded in their more formative years.

    Jump

  • A good starting point would be the songs "Re-education (Through Labor)" and "Prayer of the Refugee." If you like those, I would recommend pretty much any of their albums from Siren Song of the Counter-Culture to Wolves. I haven't kept up with anything more recent than those so can't give an honest recommendation there, but I would imagine they would also be solid.

  • The White House is ordering U.S. agencies to place its new app on all employees’ government phones

    Jump

  • Respectfully, I've been working in government for nearly 20 years. I know what my limits are and what I can get away with. I never signed any acknowledgement that I would keep the app on the phone. Worst case scenario and extremely unlikely to happen, they somehow notice it's missing from my phone and ask me about it. "Oh, my bad. Didn't know I wasn't supposed to remove it."

  • I also ignored the DOGE emails last year and I'm still around. I'm honestly not the least bit concerned.

  • For what it's worth, I saw that it had been installed on my government issued phone this morning and was able to simply uninstall it.

  • Judge dismisses criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported

    Jump

  • For sure. They want you to read it as "accidentally" instead of "with malicious unlawful intent."

  • This is strictly for government-issued devices. So everyone that is subject to this is already carrying two phones.

  • Trump made $220M in stock trades in companies he later promoted. Jim Cramer was speechless. Social media isn't — they're calling it insider trading

    Jump

  • I'm in complete agreement with your sentiments, but I think we're going to be looking at far more than 30 days to recover from the damage he's caused. I'm thinking more like 30 years, if we're lucky.
