Fluxer looked like it was ai coded before the hype for it got it enough funding for a code refactor they’re doing right now. It’d be nice if it stayed around long term and became successful enough to be sustainable though.

I expect it’s the same way people treat regular streamers, they’re just a bit less careful about how they talk about their favorite vtuber in public than they way would a regular streamer.

I do love the idea of him fighting the phone for a quarter only to find out it fights back.

Might be mad at the person on the other end.

Federal job applications are different from regular ones. You have several hurdles to meet before getting hired that just don’t exist in the regular workforce.

The biggest hurdle is the resume. You have to list every job you’ve had, while also demonstrating the job requirements they posted on usajobs.gov, while also keeping it under two pages long.

When you apply for a federal job, your resume isn’t getting sent straight to the office you wanna join. It’s getting sent to OPM personnel who look it over to see if you meet the stated requirements. If the job listing says three years experience handling packages, your resume must have three years of package handling demonstrated in it. It doesn’t have to be exact, (Amazon packages or receiving shipping at McDonalds every week is fine) but it does need to be worded in such a way that a stranger could tell that you have three years of package handling under your belt. Because it is a stranger who is checking for that.

Once it passes review and your resume meets the listed requirements, then it gets forwarded to the local hr, which is still not the office you’re applying for, where they’ll give it a look to do some points comparison on all the resumes they get to see who they’ll interview. After that, if you’re on the top of the pile, they’ll give you a call for an interview.

• Don’t use the usajobs resume builder as anything other than a rough draft sketch tool. It has historically been very badly programed and caused resumes sent with it to be so ugly they cant be read by a human.
• Used to be a federal resume only needed your entire work history. Now it needs that, and also must be under two pages long. (Verify this on the usajobs website specifically, it might change/I might be missread here)
• the current admin has fucked up federal hiring in a major way. It’s entirely possible the only reason you haven’t been hired this year is trumps fault, and you would have got hired any other year.

There’s a lot of great resources at reddit (I know!), because a lot of federal employees still hang out over there. It’s worth a look at the various subreddits to see what the latest info is.

Goddamn it’s not even close. '59 car dummy got skewered. '09 car dummy landed on a soft fluffy mattress in comparison.

Some things just transcend time and cultures lmao.

The biggest one I saw was https://fluxer.app/ it has all the right marketing and investing, but also it had a single dev dumping assloads of code per day, but somehow it wasnt ai coded at all. I’m still watching it, because it got a lot of funding in the last push to see if it failss or if it actually goes well.

I wouldn’t trust anything important on it though.

Tbh, regardless whether you subscribe to the immaculate birth or amazing liar theories, Jesus mom really did have some mad game.

That is his thing, but the joke here is that his blood is also often represented as wine / grape juice. The unexpectedness of it is where the humor of this specific strip comes from.

That assumes God exists to serve us.

I think the real reason people recommend mint is, while deep down they know users will have a better time on Ubuntu, they cannot stand the idea of recommending that company’s product directly.

I have no guilt when I say Ubuntu, and their managing company, have pulled enough shit over the years that it’s not a good first choice for a new user.

But in practice the similarities are only skin deep and to me if they’re already going to need to learn all the ways it differs from windows, why not put the same effort into learning something that also varies

The average user never leaves the web browser. The average gamer never leaves the web browser and steam. Skin deep is as far as most people ever go.

This not a condemnation, but it’s important to be aware of the differences between the average user, the average gamer, and the average Linux user. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/

I had that issue for a while too. It’s gone now, and I have no idea what change did it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plus I hate the windows style DE UIs so it seems like a weird choice

The average user hates the changes involved in switching away from the windows distro. The thing you hate about it is an objectively good reason for recommending it to a new user.

I have tried it multiple times over the years and I did not have great luck with things “just working” as everyone claims.

I have used it for several years now (with multiple sets of hardware) with no issues. Every single Linux version is going to have something it can’t handle. Linux mint is stable and handles most stuff just fine. A bad experience is possible anywhere, so this isn’t really a good reason to not recommend it for new users.

Having choice is hard.

Linux mint cinnamon will be the easiest possible change to make. It’s the most bland, least interesting choice out of them, and I love it for that. You can always switch later if you don’t like it or want something more adventurous.

Hrmm. See, that’s different too. I can’t say I disagree with her though. He’s, at best, only okay in that movie. They tried to do him up like a popstar, but it doesn’t quite really work. Older Lou Diamond Phillips is way hotter.

If she was thinking of him without facial hair, I’m with her. If she was thinking of him with facial hair and still not liking it, I’m with you. You’ll have to ask and clarify for us next time you see her. The internet (me) needs to know if your friend has bad taste or not.

Could just be breast cancer too. Accounts for only having one left.

Yeah, it’s pretty wild how much windows 11 fucked the performance by adding ai bs, or just straight up changing things for the hell of it.

I only use windows because of work, and it still bugs the hell out of me just how badly it goes sometimes.
