Exactly. Bluesky is not ideal by any means, and could turn into a another "X" down the line, but it's the best alternative to avoid it right now. It's also pretty popular, with some posts from famous people raking in as much engagement as Edgelord Musk on X.

A heart breaking romance.

"Hey US, I think we should take a break. It's not me, it's you... I know you've been cheating on me with Putin"

Coming soon to a theater near you.

This is after borrowing millions from The Bank of Daddy. Without his parents wealth, he'd be nothing.

It's actually banned in Czech Republic as well. Not surprising, considering some of the atrocities of the Nazis there

Coming from a country with ranked voting and more than 2 parties, this looks so ridiculous. It's like the USA electoral system is designed to make people bicker amongst themselves about who is the lesser evil, while oligarchs take control.

So after investing millions in this, this is incredible insight that the VP has gained:

  1. Talk to Real Customers Before Writing Code

I really recommend reading his LinkedIn post, just to understand how these people think, and how fucking incompetent people at the top raking in millions are. It's surprisingly honest for a LI post (although that bar is very low), probably because the guy is now retired and doesn't give a shit anymore.

I honestly never even processed that Prime Gaming was a thing and that it was trying to compete with Steam. I just knew they purchased Twitch and thought they'd probably abandon it into a shitty, old and slow site like they did with IMDB and Goodreads.

Like this? Would look better if the crown was replaced with a jester hat

This sounds a lot like the concerns that were brought against TikTok after the Romanian elections were annulled in December.

X doing it is probably not going to surprise anyone.

I would definitely not want chronological order. I think people tend to forget how shit those are and how much low quality content there is, especially the bigger communities get. Try it right now on Lemmy or Reddit. I find the Active and Hot sorting on Lemmy pretty good, and those are not designed as algorithmical heroine.

Bro, put those man tits under a Tshirt cause that looks like a serious burn

Yeah, I though so too, but apparently it's back up again.

*Nitter mirror. Don't link directly to that shit stain of a site

 

I had a job interview with a company recently and one of the negative feedback I got was that I hadn't tried out their product. Now this might be a valid concern if they had any sort of free trial for it, but the lessons they offer start at 60€ and I didn't feel comfortable spending that amount just to get a better chance at an interview. They also offered no free credits or anything like that during the interview. I did understand how the product worked by researching it online.

I definitely feel that there's something wrong in asking for an interviewee to spend money on the product they are interviewing for. For one it's a great setup for a scam. But is there any regulation that should prevent companies from doing this? I am based in the EU and was interviewing for a Spanish company.

UPDATE: This is definitely not a scam, the company is fairly known. This is more of a question of is it right/legal to expect this?

 

Piped alternative

Davos elites seem nostalgic for a time when "they were the gatekeepers and owned the facts". Imagine being held to a higher journalistic standard!
