Those are all good points, except of course that "live problem-solving sessions" and "trial work periods" were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.

I have been using Linux since my mid-teens in the late 2000s (with interruptions). In the late 2000s and early 2010s I really did do a lot of tinkering with the computer, but nowadays I rarely even install new software and hardly ever think of my operating system, at all.

the problem is, what is the alternative? I have never been on the employer side of a hiring process before, only the job-seeking side, but from what I've read, it's not a very good system for either side, yet I can't easily think of a better alternative.

I think it is asking about the rules of a specific subreddit, which seems like an oddly specific question which people here are unlikely to be able to help with.

Gender dysphoria is a real medical condition which I don't think there's an equivalent for many other things.

Having lived all my life in Austria, I didn't know until now that there were these kinds of regulations at all. Apparently according to the linked page, the maximum is 30 here; there are very few buildings in Austria that are this tall, typical apartment buildings in inner cities have 5 to 7 floors, they typically don't have more than one stairway and I've never thought of this as a potential safety problem.

I would say it is, but needlessly complex.

You're looking for this I think: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retention_election

in 2025? Vaccines have been available for how many years now? Why does anyone even think about COVID vaccines anymore in this year? We would have figured out any adverse effects by now if there were any.

USB C ... C ... sea ....... you might be onto something there 😂

Both human and dog feces have significant variation in how they smell, so this question is somewhat meaningless. Dogs are carnivores, so if you ate meat, your feces is probably going to smell more like dog feces than if you ate only plant-based food.

The article missed that SuperTuxKart has a mode that is somewhat similar to Rocket League.

I don't see a lot of the things you're trying to avoid on my instance. But I almost always browse "subscribed" and mostly have no idea what's going on in communities I'm not subscribed to.

Federation means that when anything happens on one instance (post, comment, whatever), that instance will also inform other instances of this. Which other instances? The ones that have at least one user who has indicated they are interested in that kind of activity (on Lemmy mostly: by subscribing to the community).

So already now you can see eg my instance's copy of a lemm.ee community at https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee and this will not disappear just because lemm.ee goes down. It's stored in my instance's database. But it will no longer be possible to post or comment there because that will no longer federate to other instances.

It's not guaranteed that all of lemm.ee will be accessible elsewhere. Some communities might not have (always had) subscribers from other instances, which would mean no other database has stored those parts.

I'm currently unable to find a minimum age requirement on my instance, so she could try that. I've never given this topic much thought because Lemmy didn't exist when I was a minor...

Help with what? The US is part of NATO so if it is attacked militarily, all other NATO countries are obliged to help against such an invasion.

The question doesn't really make sense as asked. The entire criminal justice system, almost by definition, revolves around punishment.

Punishment has several different purposes such as deterrence, removal, rehabilitation. I suspect you wanted to ask about why some of these purposes are "better" than others…

Here's a comic explaining this: https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=60

I have several family members who either don't drive at all or have previously taken several-year-long breaks from driving.

I was significantly older than you are now when I learned to drive at all, I no longer own a car and haven't driven in approximately 9 months.

If you are in a life situation where you do not need to drive, then it is completely your own decision and you shouldn't listen to anyone else trying to convince you one way or the other. Most drivers overestimate their abilities; if you yourself feel driving isn't for you, then it's better for everyone involved (including others on the road) that you don't drive. But you still have a long life ahead of you and it's completely possible you'll become more confident when some more years have passed.

They can, it is just that if they do that, the PRC will sever diplomatic relations with such a country. Why that is so, you would have to ask them... neither of the Koreas has such a policy.

The situations are also not exactly the same: out of these, all are members of the United Nations except the Republic of China.

Installed, it probably is if it works in Brave... it might not be set up right in LibreWolf though.

happens occasionally, but not only "lately", I have been using it for many years and it does (rarely, but occasionally) cause performance drops, yes
