No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I'm not that keen on giving away my data, so it's less about saving a buck, and more about not releasing info about me and what companies I'm reading about.

Just make a bullshit account with a temp email and say you worked in McDonalds or Starbucks or something. You are right not to give up your data. Well done, ๐Ÿ‘

Use duckduckgo's browser plugin to generate a one time an email alias to point to your real email.

Or simplelogin or mozmail

If you don't want them getting your IP address proton VPN allows a free tier VPN or you can use tails or tor browser

Good luck

Thanks, ended up going this route. Bugmenot plugin didn't seem to find anything? Already use VPN, so I set up duckduck plugin and generated a new burner email.

In the past what I've done is abuse the fact that Glassdoor allows you to view one page 'for free'. So if you just clear cookies everytime you want to view a new page you can kind of bypass the requirement

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

The hard way: Fake email address via anonaddy or something, fake employer review "Walmart sux lol".

Or you could try one of these in the console:

$("#ContentWallHardsell").remove();window.onscroll = null;$("body").css({"height": "unset", "overflow": "unset"});

("#HardsellOverlay").remove(); window.onscroll = null; $("body").css({"height": "unset", "overflow": "unset", "position": "unset"});

On the website https://bugmenot.com/ people can share their bs accounts. It has also a browser plug-in where you can select and automatically fill in fitting logins.

Interestingly, the plugin (I used DontBugMe for FF) didn't seem to load anything, but going to the page does find logins for that domain. shrug
