Several downvotes with zero comments to refute or discuss your point. Some devs don’t like you calling them out

Does her gymnastics title make her more valuable to society?

Read this in Tina Belcher’s voice. Might be watching too much Bob’s Burgers

I upvoted until I got to the end. Had me in the first half

Literally addressed in the first paragraph. They say 80% it’s twice the normal failure rate

Interviewing is a very specific muscle. You should try and do as many as you can. It’s also something you should regularly practice, even if you have a job you love and never want to leave. I’d say every year or two, just go and interview at a half dozen companies for roles that could be interesting to you.

I’ve just been through several rounds of interviews with different companies for a tech role. You want to build a brand and learn to communicate it to others. This doesn’t mean you need to write a laundry list of skills that you’ve obtained but rather define who you are and practice explaining that to strangers.

Nothing can prepare you for an interview scenario except and interviews. I’ve been in customer facing roles as well as being the interviewer and the only thing they have in common with being interviewed is that you’re sharing a table with someone else.

Good luck for tomorrow!

My Apple Watch 7 (two years old) and AirPod pro gen 1 (three years old) are both having hardware issues. I took them to Apple who said “we don’t, we replace and the cost of a watch SE and AirPod pros 2 cost the same as a replacement of your devices”. I now have $600 of e-waste sitting in my drawer.

The experience really turned me off Apple but no one else is better. The whole ecosystem is garbage. I think I’ll learn to live without the watch but there’s no other totally wireless headphones that suit my needs and I’ll end up replacing them.

The gold standard of personal devices has set the scene and consumers are left with no option but to buy devices that have limited lifespans. No such as buy it for life in 2024.

Gamifying the voting incentivises people to make low quality posts and comments. That’s why Reddit is now basically just rage bait fake stories with comment chains that all look exactly the same. And now it’s all just ai generated anyway.

I sometimes visit and read the AITAH type stories and I’m dumbfounded that people can believe or enjoy reading them. All the subtleties and nuances of the early days are gone and it’s a race to who can karma farm the hardest.

The other thing that made Reddit great in early days were the small communities being visible on the front page. It made the content varied and there were different types of posting hitting front page. I think Lemmy is struggling with this because politics is just so loud that we don’t have enough volume of other content being made.

What does “general” mean in this context?

In prefer not feeding Ooklas data, openspeedtest doesn’t use their servers and is also selfhostable

I prefer OpenSpeedtest. It’s also selfhostable so none of this “no server” nonsense

Are you trying to argue that the slaves should be grateful?

This is a Linux community and most of these terms are common to even people new to Linux. I guess your joke isn’t really that funny. I hope you enjoy learning some new technology today!

“Wake up call” 🤣

We’ll be dead before humanity wakes up

I see this pic appearing a lot in these musk posts. I honestly have no problem with it, who wasn’t a cringy fuck when they were younger?

It’s just a distraction from the real problem. This billionaire has way too much influence over the lives of people in the world and he shouldn’t. Eat the rich

Almost spat out my food, thanks

With products they have just told us contain PFAS?

Thanks for sharing!

Why in all that’s holy do they link to Amazon??? If these things are clearly bad for me, why are you making me buy it?

I fucking hate this timeline

Loved this show. Ended too early
