Don’t use company computers for personal stuff, it all gets logged and can be used against you at the very least as evidence that you weren’t working come performance reviews.

Browsing personal sites, especially social media, on a work computer is insane

Just don't use a work computer for anything but work. Use your personal cell phone and don't use their wifi.

Stay off company resources when using technology for personal use.

Why would people not just use their phones? I would never browse any social media on a work computer.

I use my own Internet for my phone. No point messing with work Internet unless necessary.

Why do people use work computers anymore when cellphones exist?

Pro tip: Don't do not-work stuff on work owned hardware.

Rough day at work today, OP...?

Never attach a personal device to a company network!!!

I imagine the socialist/ML and pro-union content also plays into this (speaking as a socialist/ML and extremely pro-union, mind you). Corporations hate and are terrified of any sort of dissidence that threatens their profits and will absolutely police your activity on it. Weirdly enough Western "freedom of speech" doesn't seem to extend to this kind of stuff in practice, can't imagine why.

Why in the heck would anyone browse any social media on your company machine?

That's the whole reason I left Reddit because it forced me to have to use Reddit on a computer and it's one of the first things I remind new hires not to use social media on company property, it's always monitored from keyboard to Internet connection.

Good lord people...

TL;DR: Keep browsing to your local instance at work for now.

YSK even the local tab on any instance will load many transcluded images from other instances.

if you're worried about your employer monitoring for suspicious hostnames, you're rolling the dice every time you do any personal web browsing (outside of sites that don't transclude 3rd party images, like wikipedia, and, ironically, facebook...).

On phone, use LTE. On computer set up a cheap Linux shell on your vsp of choice. Then use an ssh socks proxy for your browser.

The other day I was on all and there was fucking porn without any NSFW filter on it on some cumsluts community, no co-workers were around thankfully but it was a good wake up call that all is not a place you wanna be unless you are at home.

I'm glad my work doesn't care what I do online as long as I get my shit done. It's not the highest paying job in the world, but perks like that keep me there.

The wifi at my work won't let me browse Lemmy at all. I have to enable a VPN on my phone to browse, or go to mobile data.

Better idea.. you could work. Or use a VPN on your phone.

Well, you should be using a VPN for privacy anyway, so that wouldn't be a problem.

You guys aren't using DoT (DNS-over-TLS) or DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) ??
