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.

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.

Snapchat is not one I expected to be an exception, but I don’t use it and I prevented my kids from using it until they turned 16(ish?). Took that long for them to demonstrate anything like critical thinking and self-restraint re: social media.

Still does. This article should have been a PSA about an on-going issue with multiple apps, but they insisted on a villain to blame as somehow being worse than others. All of these apps will randomly and repeatedly ask to enable such things; They have done so for years and years.

Its a feature my kids dealt with between themselves and their friends years ago(yes, on Instagram). This is the same generation that randomly lets friends borrow their phones and even post as eachother on various platforms.

I’m not saying its a non-issue, but those ignorant of it are truly ignorant, not-so-much newsworthy.

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.

au contraire, Youtube shorts are still inescapable hot garbage

Wouldn’t this fall under existing “Right To Be Forgotten”/privacy rules in the EU??

While I agree with you to a point, they didn’t stop there or even bother to really make that point at all. 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.

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?

Its not so easy for a user to screw-up that partition. Same things that would do it in Linux would do it in Windows.

Sounds like a hardware issue, so …

Right, because this narrative had any impact on the MAGAt bullshit at all. I only ever see liberals and leftists slinging the"russian troll" accusations at eachother. Meanwhile, Obama isn’t running again, so there’s no point in this post save for that rarest-of-all beasts; virtue signalling from the right.

I’m sorry you have nothing better to do OP, but you couldn’t pay me to regurgitate this garbage propoganda. Do you just have no dignity or self-respect, or are they threatening your family?

We have communities, tags, and titles about as long(longer, I think?) as tweets used to be. There’s also the expandable description text, which seems plenty long enough to include even entire articles. If all that is not enough to determine that clicking a link is or isn’t worthwhile, the comments usually deliver.

Indeed.

I would be more interested in themed favicon sets like on Android or Linux DE’s, and any way that would avoid Google or lock-in/forced updates to such as with the Play store or Windows I would avoid like the plague.

Gimme back .dll’s full of icons I can create and edit to my liking. For modernization, meta-text(url or application name) for each icon instead of referencing “icon #x in this .dll”, and a format more usefull than .dll’s full of icons that all have to be the same size(and .tiff, .giff, or bitmaps at that, when jpeg and vector formats exist), but that’s about it.

All this re-inventing-the-wheel/web2.0/3.0 shit is geared towards creating dependency and lock-in in the stupidest ways possible.

Such NSFW images and videos aren’t hosted on other instances. Not mine, and not yours, sadly.

I seem to remember only <7 instances allowing porn posts when I joined up. As a practical matter, I don’t remember the last time I saw porn posted from any instance besides lemmynsfw.com

TL;DR: Porn on Lemmy is as centralized and easilly squashed by regulation as anywhere else.

Thank you for setting me straight on this.

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.
