@kaia@brotka.st @chjara@snowdin.town Charles de Gaulle was known to have absolute hatred of the USA --helene

@kaia@brotka.st @chjara@snowdin.town this is only the surface of how much france hated (and still hates, but differently) the US --helene

@kaia@brotka.st no, i saw many people mention lemmy, and even talking about how they didn't like the userbase and maybe they'd make their own corner with their own instances, but ended up preferring tumblr --helene

the funniest part of all of this is that people are moving to tumblr and not lemmy because of the lemmy userbase --helene

@chjara@snowdin.town @kaia@brotka.st also the only reason she got convicted is that she also defrauded the rich
if it wasn't for the investor fraud she'd get nothing or next to nothing

@chjara@snowdin.town @kaia@brotka.st she did tho
only 11 years? lmao

I remember when I told floti to use caddy back in the day and she said "no apache good"
look at how far we've all come since then 😇
I'm so proud of my child's growth (helene asked me to add this part

@kaia@brotka.st kids often tend to resemble their parents --helene

work hard, play hard, piss hard

one day my tosti will do something other than tosti, eat hot chip, and lie

@cell@pl.ebin.zone @kaia@brotka.st I'm too much of a technological zoomer to know that one, sorry

@kaia@brotka.st
the power button and reset buttons send a signal to your motherboard
the typical handling of the power button is to send a signal to your OS and then force power off if you keep holding it
the typical handling of the reset button is to just yeet everything, bypassing the OS entirely (which is why in logind you can find settings on what to do if the power button is pressed but not the reset button)

@twinspin6@outerheaven.club it's the new gab

@lain@lain.com finally someone that figured it out on their own you have no idea how much the two of us appreciate that

I just sat through two video interviews for our entry-level fedidev position. Both were good people, but it was painful watching them struggle through our questions.

Here's some tips for anyone applying for a similar position:

1. When an interviewer asks "what makes you stand out?", have a solid response already prepared. If you say "well, I'm a trans girl and I like rust" I'm going to have difficulty suppressing my eyeroll. Find something that is unique about your abilities, knowledge, personality, or experience and get us excited to hire you. Even if you're not asked something like that question, volunteer that information. Make yourself memorable.
2. Don't go into the interview cold. Do some prep. If possible, drink a cofe, dress in your best kneesocks, find your best lain avatar. Have talking points / notes pulled up to reference key data about the latest shitpost. Be eager to talk at length about anything you claim to know in your bio.
3. If you tell me you're learning Elixir, I should be able to ask you why ecto is the best and get a semi-coherent answer. At the very least correctly tell me why you should avoid generating keywords at runtime. Yes, this is an entry level position, but that is about the biggest softball question I can lob. After your fifth instance move you should have familiarity with the most basic of our concepts.
4. I don't expect entry level to do feature development, but at least know a few common replies like Suya and Cofe and what response is expected to them. Bonus if you point out it causes hellthreads.
5. When I ask if you've seen any fediverse stories in the news lately, the answer I'm looking for is NO. Show me you're keeping the gates shut to the network you say you live in.

Good tips? Bad tips? Am I the asshole for expecting the above from an "entry level" candidate? All feedback appreciated. #fedihired #interview #feditips

just use vlc lmao

@fristi@akkos.fritu.re advantages of vlc:
* it can play basically anything you can think of
* it's french (and therefore does not care about these silly "software patents")
* they've received an email from the NSA asking them to plant malware in the software for money... they refused
* CONE HAT CONE HAT

@chjara@snowdin.town oh you play the trombone?
