Unfortunately a https://xkcd.com/1102/ situation

Yes, someone below already mentioned that and it seems to be the equivalent.

I remember reading about these Openmoko devices before most people (certainly I) owned smartphones.

I thought at the time it was the most awesome idea ever, especially because I wasn’t used to mobile Internet or even much computing. Now I am typing this from an Android tablet on a train in a foreign country without WiFi, so the world has definitely changed.

I see, car (liability) insurance is also mandatory here, but it’s a separate thing from automobile club membership.

OK, in my country it’s about 100 euros for an entire year, ie much less expensive than many other expenses that come with owning a car.

In my country, most people who own a car are also members of a drivers’ club where you pay a membership fee in exchange for being able to call them for assistance in situations like this (they might repair or tow your car). Is that not a thing in the US?

probably not, maybe you could ask a former sysadmin of lemm.ee whether they have a copy of the database and can extract this data for you, but if that doesn’t work, they’re probably gone

not heard of it before, do you want to explain what it is or does everyone who is like me have to separately do a web search for it?

I mean most bus lanes are empty most of the time, that’s kinda the point, to give buses an otherwise empty lane.

If they are using someone else’s GPL code and adding requirements like that, then yes, that is infringement.

I remember reading some COVID-related news from there, though that wasn’t on the fediverse because I wasn’t on the fediverse yet at the time.

For a link, you’ll see it after posting if it appears in the list of places the link has been crossposted to, at which point you can delete it.

An image, that is more technically challenging because it requires detecting whether two images are the same, which is not as trivial as it sounds. But for images, I think reposts are no big deal anyway, many people will not have seen it the first time.

Those are all good points, except of course that “live problem-solving sessions” and “trial work periods” were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.

I have been using Linux since my mid-teens in the late 2000s (with interruptions). In the late 2000s and early 2010s I really did do a lot of tinkering with the computer, but nowadays I rarely even install new software and hardly ever think of my operating system, at all.

the problem is, what is the alternative? I have never been on the employer side of a hiring process before, only the job-seeking side, but from what I’ve read, it’s not a very good system for either side, yet I can’t easily think of a better alternative.

On the contrary, it would make it more risky to start a new smaller platform.

I asked this question a while ago here https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/37809092/18820669 and got some more-or-less helpful answers.

I mean why would that not be so? I no longer own a car but when I did, it was usually oversized for what I needed to transport (me and my backpack).

AFAIK a Steam Deck is a full Linux PC, so you can do anything on it that you can do on a Linux PC, including that. Whether this will be especially convenient is a different question.

I don’t see a lot of the things you’re trying to avoid on my instance. But I almost always browse “subscribed” and mostly have no idea what’s going on in communities I’m not subscribed to.
