Exactly. Bluesky is not ideal by any means, and could turn into a another “X” down the line, but it’s the best alternative to avoid it right now. It’s also pretty popular, with some posts from famous people raking in as much engagement as Edgelord Musk on X.

A heart breaking romance.

“Hey US, I think we should take a break. It’s not me, it’s you… I know you’ve been cheating on me with Putin”

Coming soon to a theater near you.

It’s actually banned in Czech Republic as well. Not surprising, considering some of the atrocities of the Nazis there

Coming from a country with ranked voting and more than 2 parties, this looks so ridiculous. It’s like the USA electoral system is designed to make people bicker amongst themselves about who is the lesser evil, while oligarchs take control.

This sounds a lot like the concerns that were brought against TikTok after the Romanian elections were annulled in December.

X doing it is probably not going to surprise anyone.

I would definitely not want chronological order. I think people tend to forget how shit those are and how much low quality content there is, especially the bigger communities get. Try it right now on Lemmy or Reddit. I find the Active and Hot sorting on Lemmy pretty good, and those are not designed as algorithmical heroine.

Not Hitler directly, but this is the same quote that Norwegian far right terrorist Breivik included in his manifesto before killing 77 people. Hitler was also a big fan of Napoleon. Similar flies buzzing around the same shit.

I've only been playing games on Linux for the past year and it's been a pretty smooth experience. Go for it!

The screenshot shows 1password, which to my knowledge is not affiliated to Microsoft, so I think yes, they are sponsored

Win11: less functionality, more ads

And what's with the weasel words like "recommended"? Just call them "sponsored" or "ads", like they really are.

Good, the use of single use plastic packaging is absolutely ridiculous: single candies wrapped in plastic, 3 chips wrapped in a smaller plastic bag. Just paying attention highlights how wasteful a lot of it is.

Exactly, this is a good analogy. I actually got the feedback that I was technically qualified and most of the other feedback was positive.

You would expect the candidate to spend 60€ to try out a niche product? If I were in the position I would definitely expect them to research the product and understand how it works (I did), but not to spend that kind of money to use it.

I mean if it was after I started the job that would make sense. You have to know the product you're working on.

But it seems like a power asymmetry that they have dedicated 1 hour of their time to the interview and I am expected to spend money and more research time, in addition to all the usual interview preparation.

I've updated the description to mention that this is definitely not a scam, more like weird and unreasonable behavior.

I did one better. I installed Linux

Wow, Microsoft are always so innovative! I never thought that the Win11 taskbar could get any shittier, but somehow they managed it. It's great to see those thousands of engineers being put to good use.

Can't we just force heavy taxation for the amount of plastics in products? That would force producers to look at alternatives to plastic for packaging.

I am always in shock when I buy some product and it has layers and layers of thick plastic to give the impression of some premium product. And sometimes I don't even have an alternative product to buy to avoid it since I only have 2 supermarkets in my area.

Nothing has changed, and the company continues to treat employee safety as an afterthought, putting its workers at risk

Just a normal day for capitalism
