Lemmy default UI should seriously consider a daily donation goal, similar to old Reddit. Implement a backend API to fetch the daily amount needed and the current amount donated, and stick it on the right hand side by all the trending communities. As a stats nerd, this would seriously motivate me to donate more.

Some of us did leave, that’s why you see us here

Yea you’re a PoS, I don’t think “realizing” it changes that. When else are you going to be close to so many other people in a way you can positively impact their life?

Just kidding, I wouldn’t stress about it. Kids are dumb, you grew up, be better

It’s actually quite impressive that they don’t get crowd crushes

You know Wayland will be ready when these threads don’t get 100 comments

Ouch. That would kill my motivation and trust

Her LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibtihalaboussad

Nearly 4 years in AI at M$. PhD from Harvard. She’s got a lot more to lose than the rest of us

edit: I have no idea where or why I thought she had a PhD

EDIT: LINKEDIN TOOK DOWN HER PROFILE

Damn she got some balls

Not sure why they don’t just ship Firefox with extensions like uBlock pre-installed

Edit: it looks like they’re heavily tweaking Brave regardless. I doubt this move was for technical reasons

Chromium is more secure, so if you add privacy tweaks, it is arguably better: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html#jit-hardening

(Btw I use Firefox)

1. From a code architecture perspective, how close is Lemmy/ActivityPub to reaching its maximum capacity for posts/comments per second? Are there any ways to 10x the load ActivityPub can handle?
2. With Nicole in everyone’s DMs, what does the future of spam filtering look like on Lemmy?

The United Nations said Monday it will “reduce its footprint” in the Gaza Strip after an Israeli tank strike hit one of its compounds last week, killing one staffer from Bulgaria and wounding five other employees.

Does the UN not have any power the can exert over this? They seem strangely helpless when militaries misbehave

I mean how many jobs have you applied to online? I think about 1 in 100 applications leading to an interview is around standard, although some people will get lucky.

Also the reason we don’t explain why you didn’t get the job is because given hundreds of applications, that would take hours to do (I personally only look at a resume for 10+ seconds anyways) and we don’t want to open ourselves to legal retaliation

Unfortunately, it may be a good idea to “customize” each submission by incorporating keywords from the actual listing into your resume.

This is usually a bad idea, since quantity > quality for most people trying to get a professional job. But I do agree with the rest of your comment

1. I report any email that is spam as spam, so my inbox is quite clean and I don’t miss anything
2. I applied to ~600 positions, averaging about 100 positions an hour. You just have to be faster with the application process; don’t customize your resume, don’t read the job description, just apply

House of cards season 1 was…

Oh

I would watch a YouTube series doing this

At my company we allocate 20% of our time on “Better engineering”, and it counts as impact when you’re up for bonuses/raises so people actually have a reason to push to do it

Me after reading Lemmygrad posts for 5 minutes;

Jokes aside, none from my hometown, but there was a communism club at my university. They weren’t very motivated or organized though; it takes a lot of effort to run a club properly (I ran/participated in others), and that group just didn’t have it

There’s a lot of nuance about how you do it. You can’t protest in the middle of a highway, for instance.
