"Tell me about a time when..." If I had the time, I would go to interviews just to shut this shit down. I don't need the job, I just want to beat it into hiring managers' heads that this is BS and needs to stop. If those questions aren't given to the interviewee ahead of time to prepare, it's off the table.
Damn this is scary. How are we so dependent on the distribution (control) of software, especially healthcare related, through two corporations: Alphabet and Apple. I am not so naive as to believe the open internet or freeware is free of nefarious actors, but the testing and checks and balances would play out far safer than this for-profit stranglehold.
I have no idea how people who aren't tech-interested, but dependent on these systems, stay sane. What a miserable way to live life.
Well said. There's a part of me that desperately wants to know there is a true, pure species on this planet that doesn't stoop to sick levels of cruelty, but that's not reality. Bambi noms baby birds, cetaceans mutilate each other's babies, and we do the unthinkable every second of every day. Depressing, but here we are.
Seriously, yes. I'm heartened to hear that this is being discussed at higher, coordinated levels. Right now I'm trying compost in a rotating bin I bought for this rental place because the landlord will not pay for food waste pickup even though it's offered in our area (they also expect six units to share a single home sized recycle bin that's picked up once every two weeks đ). We need a system change and stop leaving it up to individuals to figure it out on our own.
From the Beehaw sidebar:
"We do want you coming here and sharing links to news articles, websites you find, starting discussions, connecting with others, and in general doing what you see on other social media websites."
What if the focus of Beehaw and/or Lemmy in general is not as a link aggregation platform but instead a community of topic discussion? People are rewarded for posting links to articles with upvotes which only gives incentive to continue posting the same not-read content that they think the respective subs will like (upvote).
Instead, we should be rewarding people who are actively engaging with the community. Not broadcast posting the way it goes on mastodon or IG, etc., but actual back and forth interaction with the community.
Maybe take away the ability to upvote a link post and reserve that for the actual discussion parts that take place?
Seriously, this. I get stink eye because I portion no more than 4oz of beef per serving per person.
I would love to have options for ground beef with 50% or more replaced by mushrooms. I've had burgers made like this and they were better than a fully beef version. Make this widely available, and cheaper than 100% beef, and I could see that accepted faster than the highly processed non meat options like impossible or beyond brands.
It's so frustrating that this is true. I use devices until they're dead or at risk of serious compromise before getting another, but the only options are ones that I can't even hold comfortably with one hand. I'm seriously considering the Jelly 2 at this point.
I moved out of finance into non profit but still doing tech. Every day I try to find "purpose" in my work but a tech job is a tech job. The income is the only reason I can't jump ship out of BS and into something that I find meaningful.
This is such great news. I read Rebecca Skloot's book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks which dug deep into the family to a degree I don't necessarily agree with. The generational poverty, racism, and countless other wrongs the family endured was laid out, and of course, it also included the internal family strife. Hopefully this settlement is a new start for the family.

I'm with you 100% on this rant.
