I personally don’t think the protests are working. But they are getting reddit admins to show they have no interest in the communities on reddit and as a result, are helping push everyone to wonderful new communities that don’t generate revenue for the owners of reddit. So I just may be misunderstanding the goal of the protest, but it’s definitely doing something!

Don’t bring your parents to the interview lol.

Seriously though, you’re interviewing the company as much as they are interviewing you. Find interview questions examples to ask during the interview. You’ll want to find out if you like the work culture, if it looks like the interviewers like their job, how frequent overtime is required, etc.

Whether they give you a job offer or not, don’t sweat it. There is a lot going on at the company outside of your control that will affect them giving a job offer or not regardless of how well you did in the interview. I recommend taking the interview as a learning experience and practice with a friend beforehand. Doing well in interviews is a skill especially for technical interviews where folks can ask a range of questions while all eyes are on you.

Good luck!

That’s awesome!

I don’t know why, but I’m reminded of an episode of Dr Who where Van Gogh was getting tormented by some alien. At the end, Dr Who saved the day and the companion asked if that saved Van Gogh from his demon and Dr Who said that Van Gogh still goes on to kill himself… and that’s just depression. It’s sad that someone could create such amazing works of art and have such a troubled life.

It makes for a good case study looking forward, which hopefully will save lives from people attempting the same thing. Additionally, you already know folks in the aviation world wrote the pilot checklists in blood. It’s an unfortunate fact that souls have to be lost before a regulation or rule gets put into place to prevent it from happening in that exact way again, but this is part of why flying is so safe these days!

Is this the one where they need to be legally dead before they can be frozen so they’re really just selling naive people a fantasy?

Edit: yes it is…lmao

I think Southpark did this so Catman wouldn’t have to wait to play a Nintendo Wii.

I feel like there are more actual people (humans) here on Lemmy/Kbin, as opposed to reddit which seems to be full of low effort posters and bots.

Same as reddit, same as Facebook, same and Twitter. It’s the same as any website. Anything you post is most certainly getting scraped to create a profile on you. Whether that is for nefarious purposes for just to better serve you ads is irrelevant.

There is no privacy to anything you post on the internet to public forums.

Just look at the effort that went into making “work from home” viable back in 2020. The fediverse is not a unique case of being a “privacy nightmare”.

For fun, try to “dox yourself” by searching on Google from a different IP and computer from what you normally use for your name, usernames, etc. to see what information is freely available to the public.

tldr: practice good opsec!
