The long knife prohibition is real.
- Comment on Your CV is not fit for the 21st century 5 days ago:
Honestly, almost any job I’ve been hired for has involved a hand-delivered resume(or paper application, when I first started out). Applying after the interview was basically an afterthought.
The more time goes on with shady hiring agencies and clueless HR departments, and then the automated processing that was messing this up long before the AI slop, the more it seems we’re heading back towards paper resumes and in-person first-contact.
Then there’s the fact there were always people you could pay to polish your resume. In that regard, AI has kind-of levelled the playing-field for job-hunters.
- Comment on Your CV is not fit for the 21st century 5 days ago:
If a company is “evaluating” resumes by SEO standards, or with over-reliance on algorhythms/AI, I would rather not work for them in the first place.
- Comment on The AI age is the "age of no consent" 2 weeks ago:
All the tech-bro stuff in the late ninetees was proclaiming this future, that the only way to make a living would be as a creative/producer(ideally, free-lance, so they said), and that the only ways to have freedom would be through open-source and self-authored software.
That last the is real reason it will always be useful to learn to code, until they take that freedom, too, away from us.
- Comment on Anon is unaware he's at risk for a heart attack 2 weeks ago:
We need a rule against shit that’s just straight-up sad, even if it is “fake & gay”. I guess I would settle for an incest flag, because I’m also not reading any of that by choice.
- Comment on Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says 2 weeks ago:
They are escalating the seeding of porn to the willful distribution of porn to children. The fact its a corporation doing the seeding just makes for an easy target for such escalation.
- Comment on Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says 2 weeks ago:
Top notch journalism. Even today, the “legit” sites either have an “I am over 18” button at best, and in general they just block users from states with more stringent requirements. Are we really supposed to hate seeders, just because arstechnica says so?
- Comment on Anon wants robux 4 weeks ago:
My youngest son has a story just like this, but he would have been a toddler without anything to play Roblox on in that time-frame.
Damn, I wish he liked anything like beetles or stamps or whatever, even half as much as he likes the most disappointing sorts of video games, and no, I don’t mean trash games, I mean abandonware of the RFID/janky-peripherals variety.

Tohru deserves better than this. I think. I’m only on Episode 6.
- Comment on YouTube Forces Dubs Now 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for setting me straight on this.
- Comment on YouTube Forces Dubs Now 5 weeks ago:
Because I regularly reference, purge ads/trash-vids from, and occassionally search my watch history anyways. Also, selecting which watchlist to save to is an additional step of going through menus when I can just open a video and then hit the Back button. Although that’s kind-of an after-the-fact justification, as I don’t really recall how or when I fell into this habit.
- Comment on Anon is not satisfied 5 weeks ago:
I mean, trans-lesbianism is right there … OP could be doing all of this, with “just good friends”!!
- Comment on YouTube Forces Dubs Now 5 weeks ago:
Sadly, I use my watch-history as a bit of a que. Watch a second of a few different vids that catch my interest before the feed refreshes and buries them. Once I’ve saved a dozen like so, go back and watch them, or download for offline viewing.
- Comment on YouTube Forces Dubs Now 5 weeks ago:
Don’t worry, I’m not seeing the option in the native app either. Gross.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
Get this straight: Private Messaging and e-mail are not Social Media in the context of this law, and neither are phone calls or texts. Give me an hour, and I can download enough pages of whatever I like to keep me busy for a week.
Seeking validation from strangers in real-time is bad for your mental health. Yes, even for the home-bound. That said, your argument would probably win-out in court, so there would have to be exceptions. “Adult” is still too broad of an exception on its own IMHO.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
The internet was better before ignorant takes like yours showed up. Facebook, tik-tok, and the like invented nothing that wasn’t done better previously. Are you really so addicted to all this Web 2.0 non-sense? Of course you are. Get help.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
What in god’s green earth about limitting social media usage on a daily time-us basis implies anything about targetting marginalized groups? Things that are detrimental to mental health, like excessive social media consumption, aren’t magically less-so for marginalized groups.
If anything, such media is a distraction and pacifier of sorts.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
If you read what I wrote, open source social media is also easier to consume and interact with in the manner I described. Usenet, e-mail, IRC, forums, even private messaging and group-chats are all both healthier to interact with and less demanding of our time than “services” that bury the content we want to see like facebook and the rest.
Every single on is still around and in use by the same people who built the internet and others who get more done for themselves and open-source projects than you or I or most of us on Lemmy and the more modern de-federated schemes.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
Even if they somehow limit time spent on forums, mastodon, whatever, content can be saved for later consumption, and responses composed for later posting. Instant access to the latest tweet or tiktok isn’t helping anyone but advertisers.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
Limitting time is nothing like limitting speech. If I want to write a lengthy post, I can write it off-line, copy-and-paste without wasting quota time or whatever. Same goes for reading lengthy content; Copy/Paste(or print2pdf) and save for later.
Missing the latest short-form content garbage would be a boon for those who otherwise insist on wasting their time, mental and emotional energy like so.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
Might as well call peak usage rates for electricity “fashy shit”. Excessive social media usage helps no-one.
- Comment on Virginia Enacts Stupid, Completely Unworkable ‘Social Media Time Limit’ Law 5 weeks ago:
Worst thing about this is it stops at “non-adults”, and puts the burden in individual services(which would be un-workable, yes) rather than ISPs(which have the means). God forbid we do anything to help society as a whole.

Up-shot: The sooner it comes for minorities, the sooner it comes for all of us worthless fleshbags.
- Comment on UAnon has a completely relatable reaction to his country's invasion. 1 month ago:
I don’t disagree with your assessment per se, but ethics-wise I’m liking Chad, or anywhere else that actively takes in large numbers of immigrants/refugees.
- Comment on UAnon has a completely relatable reaction to his country's invasion. 1 month ago:
I didn’t come here to criticize most countries like so, but when you hit the nail on the head like that …
- Comment on UAnon has a completely relatable reaction to his country's invasion. 1 month ago:
Yes. Theirs remains a country worth defending, from a legitimate, external threat, and the bulk of the potential victims were both allowed to leave and given reasonable options for places to flee to at the outset.
Personally, I’m more worried about most of my friends and family being coerced/tricked to the wrong side than being victimized - merely being deported as a white person would be a win in this sick, sad, world. The contrast was literally the point of my comment.
- Comment on UAnon has a completely relatable reaction to his country's invasion. 1 month ago:
I feel like this is more relatable than the reasons my family insists on staying on the US. All an “decent” people’s presence does is “legitimize” the regime and lull the victims and future conscripts into a false sense of security and hope, at this point.
- Comment on Anon watches a romance movie 2 months ago:
Seriously, sumone, en-lighten us, if its movie related.

The powerful Magic Stone was the proposal, iirc. She saw the goblet as doubling-down.

This a daydream sequence from Headhunted to Another World or … ?
