You monster

I’ve done this every time I’ve looked for a job. If it’s the kind of company that would snoop on my browsing history and cause issues, it would just have motivated me to look harder 🙃

I’m speaking from my 20+ years of experience in tech, so this advice might not apply anywhere, but I’ve found the fastest way to keep increasing your salary is to switch jobs every couple of years. I usually got bored of a job in a couple of years anyway, so this also helped prevent burnout. Additionally, switching jobs at leisure like this meant I could negotiate new salaries harder at the new place and didn’t need to try and change jobs during an economic downturn or a bad job market.

Oh, and I’ve always regretted staying on in a company too long once I get the itch so I’d recommend starting a hunt as soon as you think a change might be good instead of waiting till you start hating your job!

Oh shit, I remember watching Gumbo Slice backyard street fights back in the day. Didn’t realize this was meant to be him!

It’s silly to use Sweden as a reference, they are a silly people in a silly country. Unlike Denmark which contrary to what many believe is a way way different and superior not at all alike Scandinavian country.

😂

TIL. I’ll remember from this point on that the Swedes are silly geese

Funnily enough, I block very liberally.

I find that having the option to block by keywords, instances, communities and users let’s me curate my feed exactly as I want. What I wouldn’t want is for the blocks to be too broad of a brush (like in the users of instances example), which would lead to missing out on valuable conversations.

This is great, I’ve completed the form. I hope you post results here at some point!

Strongly disagree. I want to block certain instances from my feed to remove posts I’m not interested in (eg NSFW, repost bots), but I have nothing against the users.

If users are blocked too, please add that behind a setting toggle.

Oh yeah, that’s the one! It’s a very powerful scene. Crazy that it came out in 2011, a lot of it seemed so prescient. I watched it soon after the pandemic started, I think Netflix featured it around that time for obvious reasons.

This scene feels really familiar, which movie is it from?

I don’t have any particular complaints about the speed of Lemmy development or which features the devs are prioritizing or shutting down. Since there are two primary devs who are working on a pretty complex Rust codebase, it is going to take time for new contributors to understand it inside out as well as they do. The philosophy of a codebase is also very important for maintainers to guard, as just adding code or features without an overarching vision can lead to chaos.

Having said that, I’m strongly in favour of multiple forks of the Lemmy backend bring developed. This allows new features, visions, optimizations, etc to be developed quickly and a lot of diverse opinions and philosophies to be entertained, exactly as we’re seeing with instances. Alternative UIs are another example of the benefits of this approach.

This also allows Lemmy maintainers to see which changes are beneficial, and merge them back into the main codebase much more easily. For example, if a fork has 10x the performance with half the resource usage, it’ll be an easy sell to merge back in.

Edit: typo
Edit 2: shutting down, not shitting down 🤦

I felt like I just finished watching a Pixar movie.

lol, I searched for this post title 😛

That’s huge! Makes me realize that there’s not really a way for anybody to know that a particular result is from Lemmy/the fediverse by looking at it, especially with the weird TLDs people use. I wonder if Google will eventually start recognizing ActivityPub clients differently?

Yes, but Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Is that not typical?

That’s awesome! This is much needed.

I don’t know, I didn’t get the impression that he likes slugs
