I think I figured it out… only rarely you’d get immediate interviews, but the idea is you get LinkedIn contacts to chat with later and industry insight, and something to tell recruiters/hiring managers that you did, but you dress it up in a way that shows you look for opportunity like “I met members of [industry/company] at a recruiting conference in [town]”. I found industry conferences to be more useful than jobfairs in this respect, but those can be a little to a lot expensive.

Otherwise it’s pretty much just being told to scan QR codes, business cards and maybe getting a couple plastic cups and pens.

All in all I say job hunting is such an awful game.

“They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would [be] going to get Denver Police. They said go get them,” an usher said in the incident report.

Sounds about right. The circus tent for your clown show is that way, Boebert.

I don’t vape, but when I received a depleted disposable vape from a roommate, I opened it up to find the battery was perfectly rechargeable. Such a waste and it is quite hazardous too to dispose in regular trash.

Steam is a legitimate value add for sellers and buyers/users, that justifies its 30% cut. Other than free games, Epic has a seemingly easy-to-integrate online networking system, that’s about it. Steam has a modding platform, broadcasting, remote “parsec”-like controller emulator, Linux support, content sharing, forums and a developer news feed. That’s quite a lot.

What makes me stick with them is that they don’t preclude Steam and other gaming users from using alternatives but simply compete with their own well-made system… plenty of games have their own cross-platform mod-launchers that aren’t workshop for example. Steamworks DRM isn’t required and Steam networking services for multiplayer aren’t mandatory either.

That said, itch and GoG are great alternatives where they have games available. I’d just like GoG to provide better Linux support.

I agree. If Reddit won, the victory was pyrrhic if anything. Their whole plan to end 3rd party app support could have been just a small road bump if they had just done it transparently and planned it with reasonably thought out timelines. They instead chose to do a whole front flip over it and get everyone mad, tanking their brand while trying to make it look like nothing happened.

Anyways, congratulations on your victory. Here’s your prize: ❤

50% of the time the Microsoft forum help solution for any Windows problem is “Have you tried Re-installing Windows?”

Interesting to hear your experience. It took me 3.5 months to fully remove myself from Reddit. (March to July):

  • I started just poking around Lemmy while using Reddit
  • to occasional commenting and posting on Lemmy
  • to using them about equal time
  • then making a final few posts and comments in the protest weeks and helping people migrate
  • then I was only upvoting
  • then I made a final goodbye post on my Reddit page
  • then I stopped voting but still looking around Reddit and the playplace.
  • then when that was over, I uninstalled my favourite RedReader app and stopped using it altogether

I’m not one who likes to go cold turkey, but when once I commit to boycotting something I stick to it until my condition is met. In those final days I came across many Reddit users who were like “if you hate Reddit that much why are you still using iiiiiit?”, that was annoying but that’s behind me now and there is no condition for me to go back to it.

Don’t let your husband or state know that this thing is under $1,000 because it could go for $19,000-$20,000 EASILY! It’s the perfect accessory for “governing”, photoshopping, and fraud. Me and the gal pals really enjoyed this from afar while we were in Paris, France. 10/10
