  • It may be a bold of me to say, but I hold the controversial opinion that I don't really give a shit which computer OS you use. If you can use a mouse and keyboard to navigate a desktop environment then 🤙 you are ahead of the curve at this point.

  • I couldn't bear to make e-waste, so I repaired two c.~2012 era chromebooks earlier this year. The end result was equal parts rewarding experience and a complete was of my time xD. Those sandy bridge cpus are sloooow

  • The original series is all I've seen but its legit hilarious and definitely still worth watching. Many of its storylines have been revisited/retold over the decades, but the plots maintain their charm and originality. It's campy as all hell, but the campy atmosphere of the show elevates it rather than aging it in a bad way.

  • This may be specific to my sector (government), but every job posting requires a highly detailed cover letter that addresses numerous specific criteria outlined in some departmental rubric. It takes forever and requires sifting through verbose, corporate-slop documents to grasp their internal jargon and values, etc etc

  • For sure, and even though I know that I have to put myself first I still hate lying and I feel like im being forced to. This is apparently what is expected of us for certain jobs now. It's quite aggravating!

  • Oh man story time, I just went through this yesterday.

    I applied for a government job posting. I have 8-years experience in this particular role, and I've trained hundreds of coworkers for the job — I'm a dream applicant. They request in the posting that I read through their department's rubric on their values and cater my cover letter to it (e.g., demonstrate examples of showing service excellence, sound judgment, creative problem solving, yadda yadda yadda). Takes me an hour or two of what feels Iike writing a college thesis.

    I get an offer to advance in the interview. I book off an hour of work for the first round of the interview, lying that it was a Doctor's appointment; then, I come to find it was actually a mandatory presentation asking people to not apply for the job unless they "really want it" because it's emotionally difficult. I consider it a waste of MY time.

    Second round they offer me to take their '2-hour virtual exam', only offering it during business hours. I lie to my boss again and attend the session. After showing up on time, waiting for the Microsoft teams invite and getting nothing, I email the talent acquisition person: they are out of office.

    The following Monday the lady is back in office, emails me, and offers me another virtual exam slot: 4 hours from now, again during work hours, and again requiring me to request time off from my current job.

    Wtf? Is there another stage after the exam? An interview? How ridiculous have job searches gotten where we are expected to jump through endless hoops to satisfy prospective employers. Nobody has time to do this for every single frigging job they apply for.

  • Even if Microsoft, Apple, et al, drop the 'inescapable integrated AI assistant' bullshit in their OS' it's almost a guarantee that they will forever reside in some hidden background service quietly sending off reports. The temptation for them is too great, and the legal consequences are nil.
