I have a feeling they're referring to SteamDB plus Augmented Steam.

What's the best way to let you know if we're having issues after the maintenance windows? Any on a different platform if we have issues accessing Lemmy?

Thanks for all the hard work!!

Not sure if these are available near you but you might be able to find some steam wallet cards in stores that sell giftcards. You'd then be able to add funds to steam without using a credit card.

Started playing Spiritfarer and UFO50 in the last couple weeks and will likely play them into the beginning of 2025.

A single command made me switch back to Google Assistant.

Every now and then, I'll leave the TV on while I fall asleep and for a few years now, I've just asked GA to turn off the specific tv in 2 hours. Whenever I tried to get Gemini to do the same, it would just turn off my tv immediately, no matter how I phrased the prompt.

By saying that I didn't realize it was different in Europe. Often when we (Canada) do something different than the US, it's because it's closer to how it's done in Europe and I assumed this was one of those cases.

I'm planning on looking into this more when I have some free time as I'd like to understand where our approach to both documents came from.

Maybe things are different here in Canada but that's how I've always had it outlined. What you're describing would be called a resume here and not a CV. The intents of the two documents are not the same.

Most CVs that I've seen are usually closer to 3-5 pages but I've seen some that are ~10 pages.

Not traditionally. A CV should contain essentially everything whereas the resume is tailored to the specific position.

CVs are much more common for academic positions but I've also seen them required for very specialized roles.

They're definitely not the same thing even though they've been used interchangeably more and more.

A CV is a comprehensive overview of everything you've accomplished and can be fairly long in certain cases (I've seen CVs of specialized professionals or tenured professors that are close to 10 pages long).

On the other hand, a resume is a concise list of your relevant skills and experiences that should be tailored to the position you are applying to and should almost never be longer than 2 pages.

Yes, it's one of the main use cases.

"You can use digiKam’s import capabilities to easily transfer photos, raw files, and videos directly from your camera and external storage devices (SD cards, USB disks, etc.). The application allows you to configure import settings and rules that process and organize imported items on-the-fly."

Definitely nothing wrong with that!!

What made you go with a custom solution instead of something like home assistant?

I might be a bit out of the loop here but why was the decision made to migrate the community to a different instance?

All I've seen is that it was to move to a "friendlier" instance, did something happen previously or is this just related to the admins of lemmy.ml?
