Check the trunk 😏

Bean-posting is the inside joke around Lemmy. Every once in awhile, the whole place goes ape over beans.

Had a similar situation happen at one of my old workplaces. Super culty. You’ll survive.

In addition to what others said (namely, that companies tend not to give “references” anymore, but instead give “verification”, which is where they confirm the dates of employment), if you need references, I recommend getting coworkers who liked you to write a letter of recommendation and send it directly to you for you to include with your job applications.

You can whip up a “letter of recommendation” template to send to your work friends, then just ask them not to include a date on their letter. I’ve been reusing some old letters of recommendation for years and future employers seem to appreciate that I include them in my app.

Yep, this approach exactly.

I hope you like beans

Is it bad that I agree? Eff TikTok

I would go on long nighttime walks on the nature trails near my home.

1. I wouldn’t mind the bugs because I’m a tiger.
2. I wouldn’t get tired or sweaty because I’m a tiger.
3. I wouldn’t be arrested for walking on the trails at night because I’m invisible.
4. The hobos who live on the trails wouldn’t be able to see me because I’m a tiger and I’m very stealthy.

It stays pretty slow but does begin to get a bit… weirder. The end of the season was rad and got me really hyped for season 2. I’ve actually watched the first season 2 times now.

Regardless, The Eternaut was awesome

Damn, I’m the only one using Mlem?

Toxic

I always feel like the features I’ve worked on become my coworkers or like pets. When a specific feature breaks often, I’ll think “damnit Frank! One of these days I’m going to patch that edge case once and for all!”

Then I patch Frank and he quiets down so I can focus on the next thing leadership wants.

You get to know these things and you put care into designing them (if you didn’t put care into them, you’d likely be a hack of an IT person). It’s always hard to see them go.

Sorry for your loss.

One of the people briefed on the situation, a consultant advising the United States on encryption matters, said Apple would be barred from warning its users that its most advanced encryption no longer provided full security. The person deemed it shocking that the U.K. government was demanding Apple’s help to spy on non-British users without their governments’ knowledge. A former White House security adviser confirmed the existence of the British order.

Bloody hell - I’m encouraged by this because it means that Apple’s encryption actually frustrates governments, but anyone using iCloud for storage or backups is pwned.

Couldn’t agree more. Good message, but pontificating as hell.

And the bugs were (usually) reliable, so if you found a workaround on your own or just avoided causing the bug, you would get a consistent experience.

Now it feels like each deployment ends up breaking something new.

Yeah, the convenience of everyone having internet has shortened development cycles and meant everything is shipped with less testing and is available for constant rework/improvement.

It’s really nice sometimes to admire early software because of how cobbled-together it was and would still work well-enough.

I don’t really know anything about China, so I really can’t say.

Yup. It’s phuckin awesome

Nm I’m dumb. It’s under the “Digital Archive” on their site.

Hmmm… I found an old magazine in their listings, but can’t for the life of me find out how to read it.
