By old ways, do you mean in-person interviews and work?

Because I won't lie, I do find it easier to collaborate, focus, and communicate with my coworkers in-person, as opposed to the days I work remotely (I do a combination of in-person and work-from-home). And while I think it's unfair to be denied a job for not being sociable enough (I'm very much in the same boat), the overall idea of wanting employees who communicate with and get along with their coworkers better isn't inherently wrong.

Since I'm a vegetarian, a common question I've been asked since I was a kid was "If you were trapped on an island and the only food was meat, would you eat it?"

Or something to that effect. It's been asked dozens of times to me before and every time it's asked, the person asking acts like it's some novel thought experiment I haven't considered before.

Not only is a situation like that extremely unlikely to ever happen, but if it does, the answer isn't any more complicated than a yes/no

Another question I hate are all of those "Would you do for X sum of money? No? Then what if we upped the money? What's the minimum sum you'd do it for?"

The most common example of "repulsive thing" is usually incest. And it's just an annoying question that isn't even entertaining to answer.

On the contrary, I find it to be pretty honest about the article's contents. Clickbait implies it misrepresents the content behind it, or adds noise to it that exaggerates what the content entails.

The article itself is persuasive in nature and quite literally is intended to convince the reader to adopt some new product or service- in this case, Nobara. The author is of the opinion that the reader will benefit by switching over. The title reflects that.

“look at me, I’m using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you’re missing out”

It doesn't say you "must" use some alternative. Necessity isn't implied anywhere in the title. And the fomo? Nowhere does it say everyone is using Nobara and you should adopt it so you don't miss out. The article lists and elaborates on the arguments Nathan makes, which aren't just an appeal to majority, and the title reflects that.

If you're going to throw a fit over a title of an article be honest about how persuasive the content is and what the actual article is about, then that's just childish.

The Super Mario Galaxy duology has the best overall OST in my opinion. The orchestral music is amazing for so many of the tracks.

For any individual song, however. It would be Weight of the World from Nier Automata. For context: ::: spoiler spoiler it's the very emotional song that plays during the credits scene of the game, after you complete all 5 of the main endings :::

EDIT: I want to give an honorable mention to the Ace Attorney OST, across all of their games. A lot of people may know the Pursuit - Cornered theme, but every game in that series has banger tracks. Not as widely praised, and very underrated imo, hence the honorable mention.

I just stick a single line of HTML in the address bar and use that as a text editor. It's just a giant test field taking up the page with a dark background and white text.

Useful if I just want to write text without any need to format it.

Having studied history of world leaders as a bit of a hobby, I'm more biased in that regard

But I'd go with Lester Pearson

Been listening to more of them recently, and songs like Dark Necessities have been stuck in my head lmao

Coldplay is among my favorite bands, absolutely agree there

A lot of people criticize the direction they've taken recently, and while I don't keep up with their newest releases, Viva la Vida is still one of my favorite songs. And other tracks like Paradise, Sky Full of Stars, etc. will always be fun for me to listen to as well

I didn't know Duran Duran was even disliked lmao

Been listening to Rio by DD as inspiration for a writing piece, and it's a pretty good song imo

Going through the Red Rising series, which some of my friends praise immensely. Lightbringer just came out, though I'm only just finished Morning Star, book 3/6 in the series. Going to be starting Iron Gold soon. But until them, I'm reading 1984, which I just acquired a nice hardcover copy of.

And even with the apps, you're still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can't be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist

Probably to express that a social media app that is largely unheard of managed to make it onto Austrian top 200 list when Reddit, a far more popular platform, could not.

I don't know when this meme was originally made, but my boss unironically has this taped to his office door, and it's glorious

I wish people would be more mature about their reaction to this, as well as other people's reactions, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with the choice.

I'm not opposed to piracy, though I understand the risks that come with a platform allowing potentially pirated content. While I respect the decision and see the reasoning behind it, I don't agree with it, and will likely change my home instance to one that allows me to continue communicating with those communities, as I was subscribed to one of them.

I'll still be participating in communities hosted here, and I hope that with this decision, the admins' concern about being potentially sued is substantially alleviated.

Looking it up online, the subject of Opera being chinese spyware seems to be debated pretty thoroughly, but with no definitive consensus (that I could find at least). Any articles on the subject I could read up on?

I use Firefox myself, so it wouldn't really impact my internet usage, but I'm just curious about what's going on with Opera.

Funnily enough, I think the last time I used Opera was the Internet Channel on the Wii way back when, which was powered by Opera lmao

Pretty much the main two that I use as well lmao

The fact that this is done under the name of an admin going by "ModCodeOfConduct" is added salt in the wound.

Implying that it's the code of conduct to blindly obey all bullshit from the admins, never protest any changes that they made, and the like... Fucking ridiculous

A quick way to tell if something is an insect is if it has a head, a thorax, an abdomen, exactly 6 legs, and antennae

The 6 legs is usually the biggest giveaway, discounts millipedes, centipedes, worms, spiders, etc. from being insects

For me, I mostly rationalize my piracy as something generally unethical that I choose to partake in anyways. People often cite piracy as an issue with the service being provided, but there's just a lot of instances where I'd rather pirate something than pay for it, not because the service is bad, but because "Why pay for something when I can just get it free, eh?"

Though I think there is one specific case where I'd undoubtedly consider piracy ethical, which is for products that are not being sold on the market currently. Take a retro video game for instance. If it isn't being sold by any company, then there is no way to legally play the game apart from getting a secondhand copy. Either way, the company that owns the rights to it won't derive profit, and they aren't involved in secondhand markets whatsoever, so pirating the game effectively results in 0 negative consequences for any party, compared to legally acquiring it.

Of course! I made a post here: https://lemmy.world/post/2002082

I just have the icons I made so far saved on a google drive folder

But yeah, like I mentioned on the post, if there's any kind of icon you want designed, feel free to ask and I'll see what I can whip up
