You never used cheat codes in GTA San Andreas and the like? It’s a lot of fun

I think if you can apply by just clicking an “apply” button then I wouldn’t expect much attention from their side either, how are you doing it? On some job seeking platform?

Every time I applied somewhere I had to spend some time customizing my CV to the job listing, researching the company to write a compelling cover letter (and to find out if I want to apply in the first place), and probably filling out a long form on their application portal. It takes at least 30 minutes per company, which is quite a lot of work when sending many applications.

But the concept of just being able to click “apply” somewhere seems weird to me, sure, saves a lot of time, but then is anyone even reading your application?

No, they are homeless because society has failed them.

The data shows everyone uses their Windows 11 taskbar at the bottom of the screen. You can’t argue with that.

It’s often implemented with JavaScript, yes

And yet they are so much better than the competition it’s just funny.

I love it, it’s smaller than both PNG and JPEG while better looking than both.

They were not only not allowing it, they immediately blocked the user’s attempt to put it on their servers and banned the user for even trying. That’s as far from allowing it as possible.

Australia (country) has Timor Sea and Arafura Sea on the north, not an ocean. But New Guinea belongs to Australia (continent), so it doesn’t actually matter, both sides of the sea are the same continent. Unless we consider only the main landmass of each continent and ignore all islands.

Panama, with it’s canal, is entirely in North America too, so the canal doesn’t matter anyway.

Then you don’t count Africa either?

In fact if it has to be surrounded by an ocean then there are only two continents, Antarctica and everything else. You can cross them all without entering an ocean, only seas.

If you count the Panama Canal and squint, you can make an argument. Not so much for the above.

I see two impostors, not one. Asia and Europe.

Agree, but security theater is more important, clearly.

The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.

It’s not “we don’t allow liquids cause they may be explosive”. It’s “we don’t allow liquids cause if you have any in your luggage, we won’t be able to correctly detect explosives you might also have”.

That’s why some airports now allow liquids. Newer scanners can detect explosives even in luggages that also contain liquids.

Nobody thinks your bottle of water is dangerous. But your bottle of water will prevent the explosives detector from working.

The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.

It’s not “too dangerous to allow liquid on a plane”. It’s “we can’t detect explosives in your luggage if there are also liquids in it”.

I used the Android app Boost for Reddit. One day I opened it as usual, browsed as usual, but something felt a bit odd. Turns out it was updated into being a Lemmy app instead. Fair enough then, I continued my scrolling.

It was NOT found to be untrue. Full stop. It was found to be unsubstantiated.

You are right, I was imprecise. What I meant is that “it was not found to be true”, not that “it was found to be not true”.

Yeah, he was stupid to have that idea. But nobody was actually wronged in the end.

I think it looks good for the integrity of Linus that he took the blame and never revealed the identity of the logistics employee that made the mistake of misassigning the prototype for the auction. He could’ve easily thrown them under the bus and fired them instead, because their mistake did real reputational damage to the company.

Sexual harassment

It was found to be an untrue allegation by a third party. You can of course choose to not believe them, but there was never any proof and everyone who works there denies it (and a lot of women work there), so take of that what you will.

poor work life balance

Very true

anti union

Linus is not anti-union. He said he would consider it a personal failure if his employees felt the need to unionize, but he supports their right to do so.
