Michael LabowiczPro tip: If you have multiple phones (e.g. one for work and one for personal), you can setup a chat group with both of your whatsapp/signal accounts and include your spouse on it. That way she can message one thing and reach you on either phone!cc: <a href="https://mastodon.world/@signalapp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@signalapp</a> <a href="https://bigshoulders.city/tags/protip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protip</a> <a href="https://bigshoulders.city/tags/whatsapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whatsapp</a> <a href="https://bigshoulders.city/tags/signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#signal</a>

itgrrl :donor:<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ProTip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProTip</a>: if you have to use <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> (for $reasons 👀), add custom search engines to your web browser to avoid the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIslop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AIslop</a> summaries at the top of the results page & / or to constrain to recent results only (to avoid irrelevant older info for technical queries, etc.)Google doesn't let you disable "AI" (🙄) summaries unless you first log in to Google, so if you refuse to log in (or just don't have an account) then by default you're stuck with it 😫but wait! there's a solution (for now, at least)for no "AI" (🙄) slop summaries but all results from the beginning of time, use: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14</a> for no "AI" (🙄) slop summaries & only recent results, use: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%s+after%3A2023-12-31&udm=14" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/search?q=%s+after%3A2023-12-31&udm=14</a> &udm=14 is the magic param that gets you web results without the garbage "AI" (🙄) summaries up front 💁‍♀️ after:2023-12-31 gets you results from 2024 onwards only (tweak as required) in desktop browsers you can assign a shortcut to use in the search bar - I use [@]g for all results & [@]gn for recent results but you do you 🙃 (the [ ] here are just to prevent tagging in someone on masto, remove when you add the shortcut 🤪)the %s syntax for query string works in Edge & Chrome (so it should work in any Chromium-based browser) as well as Firefox

Jeremiah LeeWriting tip: proofread your writing as if you were interrupting a bad coworker. 🤬Ask 3 questions for each paragraph to reveal common document structure problems:1. What the fuck do you want?2. What the fuck does that mean?3. Why the fuck are you telling me this now?Is your reason for interrupting, er writing, obvious?Are you communicating with short sentences? Is every word precise and necessary?Is every sentence less important than the sentence that preceded it?<a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/ProTip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProTip</a> <a href="https://alpaca.gold/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writing</a>
