Cowboy Bebop was the first thing that came to mind, but now I’m wondering how many modern shows actually have banger intros that we all automatically skip.

Just did that for the first time yesterday, actually!

Oh, I’ve been a uBlock Origin user for years. On the desktop, at least, it’s just neat to see the adblocker sitting idle for once.

Kbin reminds me so much of what I loved about Reddit when I first joined 14 years ago. Is anyone else struck by the complete lack of ads on any of these instances? It’s crazy how quickly almost everything loads.

Thanks for the update, and keep up the amazing work!

There’s probably a large percentage of Reddit users that are still getting everything they’re looking for with the official app and what’s left of the site. Quick hits of memes are fun, and I do take some pleasure in correctly guessing the top comments in a thread.

The level of conversation on Kbin/Lemmy reminds me more of what old Reddit used to be like back in the day, and I think I’m okay with that being a smaller community than Reddit at large. I keep reminding myself and others that these communities don’t ever need to be as big as Reddit, they just need to be big enough.

Safari for anything personal (for easy sync with my other devices), and Edge for work stuff. Safari meets all my basic needs in a browser, and iCloud Keychain has been great.

Have stories ready, and try to use the STAR method of explaining them. You can search for ‘STAR method’ on your favorite search engine and you’ll find plenty of articles about it, but here’s a quick summary:

The STAR method is a popular technique used in job interviews. It provides a structured framework for answering questions by focusing on four key elements: Situation, Task, Action, and Result. By describing the situation you encountered, explaining the task at hand, detailing the actions you took, and sharing the outcome or results, you can provide a concise and effective response that showcases your skills and experiences. This method helps interviewers gain a clear understanding of your capabilities and problem-solving abilities.

Aside from that, I always remind myself that I’m interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing me. I don’t want to work at a shitty company with shitty people, so I’m going to try and find out as much about their culture as possible.
