not heard of it before, do you want to explain what it is or does everyone who is like me have to separately do a web search for it?

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.

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.

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

Good. The Internet was always supposed to be an opportunity to expand the overton window. It’s incredible how much we’ve been allowing tech companies to be censors in the first place, anything that undoes this development is good.

TBF the last two bullet points are verbose descriptions of the thing it means in C++, Java, and Python too. It’s just that in JS, “this” can also be used in other places.

But yeah, in practice, every time I write JS I want to throw my hands in the air and shout “this is bullshit”, but never know what “this” refers to… :D

On a German QWERTZ keyboard too, μ is the only Greek letter you can easily type (altgr+m) and I’m pretty sure this is because of micro units.

If you want to enforce that, you need to fork it and put a copyleft license on it. This is very rarely done because it’s more work to maintain software than to write it…

They can change future versions to that, not already released ones.

Doesn’t PeerTube already do this? Maybe I am mistaken.

In any case there’s nothing inherently preventing this, just because a platform gets some of its data from other servers instead of its own users, it doesn’t mean it can’t use that data to run a recommendation algorithm.

I don’t want it though. I prefer choosing for myself what sources I want to get information from instead of getting any of it recommended by the platform operator.

What would “selling Chrome” even entail? The vast majority of Chrome’s source code is free and open source software, i.e. it has no owners. Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead? Do they want Google to be prohibited from distributing a browser based on the Chromium codebase? Have they given any of this any thought at all?

The worst bills in Congress are usually overwhelmingly supported by both parties.

• Firefox ✅
• SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
• WhatsApp ❌
• stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
• OpenCamera ✅

3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.

It’s a possible distinction to make, the main problem is that the article in the OP didn’t make that distinction.

Again, how do you define “social media”?

I grew up on IRC as well as web forums and found those social interactions very fun overall, not dissimilar from IRL social interactions.

OK, what’s the definition of “social media” for that purpose then?

I tend to be unsympathetic in general to ideas that anyone (including young people) needs to be “protected” from their own decisions.

So teens who don’t fit in well in the IRL spaces that are available to them should have 0 ways to have social interactions?

If teen me hadn’t had the internet, I would have 0 joyful memories whatsoever of my teen years. Anyone sympathizing with the ideas in the OP is in my mind purely evil and oppressive, I have no other words to describe this.

A gnome obviously

Do we have “circlejerk” or “shitposting” communities here on Lemmy already?
