I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.
I had been publishing articles on my own website since 2003, but I did that mostly manually by writing whole HTML pages.
Huh, so literally raw html? I know it’s not too difficult, but I have wondered occasionally how many small websites may have been written that way.
Appreciate the reply! It’s a cool way to view it in individual terms. I was thinking in more social terms, however, which I’ve been a little fascinated to find seems to be a little atypical from the replies so far.
This does seem to come closer to what I was wondering about when I originally posted, good eye!
OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you’re normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.
The funny thing is, it didn’t occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That’s made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I’ve not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.
Is there something mystical to this?
If shareholders and executives are demanding so much money, shouldn’t they be the optimal target for cuts to maximize profitability of the business? 🤔
Does ffmpeg work best standing? Or is it better spread out? Did it work properly if it finished fast?
Does it sometimes seem like commenting in high traffic online spaces feels this way too, not just Reddit?
Oh hey, going there reminded me at some point I’d found this and bookmarked it but haven’t tried it yet, so thanks for the reminder! I should finally give it a try.
While Lemmy doesn’t have enough people for each product category yet, have you checked out the community [email protected]?
There’s also [email protected] for broader discussion, but it’s not gained much traction yet.
Anyways. I know you probably wanted a story that was more interesting than depressing, but that’s just one that really stuck with me from that point in my life there. I don’t think that’s a normal experience for a Night Auditor to have, so I wouldn’t take my experience as a reason to dissuade anyone from taking the position, but you asked for a story, and so you got one.
Even a depressing story is interesting in its own way, so I appreciate it all the same! I can see why the experience stuck with you, it’s a rough situation to find oneself in for almost all involved
For those interested in discussing their job searches, did you know there’s a [email protected] community? Not terribly active at the moment, but given the discussion here there seems to be some potential interest
Is Feddit.de still online? I see “Server error” when visiting…
afterthought
btw this suggestion was most in line with what I was wondering about
Any odd stories from that job?
Do you suppose most may only be half or quarter-reading too?
Was it a matter of some good timing that these casts were able to be made? That is, with enough time, wouldn’t the voids/cavities themselves likely collapse with the gradual shifting of the soil?
Tbh I didn’t mean to Lemmy, so much as simply off Twitter in general, preferably to a non-corporate social site. It may be naive/idealistic, but I think those most inclined to leave would be the better of the bunch, and those in-between are more apt to go to another corporate site anyway (e.g. Threads).
Do the add-ons you use specifically target Facebook? If so, what are you using to mitigate its manipulative/predatory designs?
How might we help and encourage people to leave Twitter?
In the case of children, isn’t some of this on the parents involved as well? Have the parents of affected children talked to each other about it and reached out to the parents of the bullies to ask if they know their child’s been bullying or however one might go about that conversation?
That said, Apple’s certainly in the wrong in taking advantage of this, and in many ways it’s no surprise. They’re essentially a luxury brand, whose entire business model is exploiting this kind of behavior of social pressure and buying specific products to better fit into a group.
