  • I'm going to take a stab and say she's a recruiter for a third party staffing company.

    They REQUIRE word docs so that they can copy and paste or edit your resume on their template.

    Pro tip: take the requirements that they send you and Google search for it. Apply directly with the company and cut them out.

  • I've stopped tailoring resumes and doing cover letters. As someone who has been on the hiring end, they make maybe a small difference but the amount of time spent isn't worth the potential upside.

    Keep in mind that the people doing the hiring don't want to be reading resumes either. That's why networking is still the best way to land a new job.

  • TSMC execs allegedly dismissed Sam Altman as ‘podcasting bro’ — OpenAI CEO made absurd requests for 36 fabs for $7 trillion
  • I've been saying this for almost a year. Not open AI specifically but any company with a board of directors.

    They aren't considering the shareholder value of their most expensive liability: the CEO.

    He (because let's face it. It's going to be a he in most cases) is paid millions of dollars with a golden parachute. Literally money that could be given back to shareholders through dividends.

    The fact that Boards of Directors aren't doing this could be evidence that they aren't looking out for shareholders' interests

  • Helene refuses to be CANCELLED by WOKE state of Florida
  • But we're not letting them suffer. Their governor and their state legislature is.

    These states are ignoring all evidence that their state will be drastically changed due to global warming. The states are the ones holding their people hostage, not the federal government.

    The Federal highway commission has held back road funds for states that refused to adopt various safety laws.

    Why should FEMA be any different?

  • There is the theory that they are a money laundering business
  • All tax benefits, from marriage tax deductions to corporate tax elimination, is the government picking and choosing which behaviors it wants to encourage.

    That's why conservatives didn't want gay people to get married because they saw it as government endorsement of their behavior, and not the government recognizing equal rights.

  • McConnell: Democrats would end the filibuster if they sweep on Election Day "I don’t think they’re kidding. I think they’ll do it"
  • I think the filibuster is a valuable tool that is important for defeating certain bad legislation

    What might be bad for you might be good for someone else.

    I agree with getting rid of the procedural filibuster. I suspect the reason it exists in the first place is because Senators are getting old and don't want to actually do it.

    So, for good and bad, make them actually stand and deliver. If they feel so strongly that a bill needs to be killed, then let them fucking earn it.

  • New Steam Agreement gets rid of forced arbitration and waivers for class action lawsuits
  • I've seen some arbitration agreements stating that you can't collaborate with other customers who are affected by the same issue, requiring each customer to have a different attorney.

    Some companies really want to make it impossible for you to win any significant damages against them.

    At that point, they are just telling on themselves.

  • If you were never a "fuck cars" person, hang out near a school
  • They are likely mad that their kid misses the bus which makes them late to work which makes them fall behind.

    Not defending asshole behavior but I've seen enough parents race through my small neighborhood to drop off their kid at the bus stop.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) demands that Zelensky fire the Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States for organizing a trip to an ammunition plant in Pennsylvania.
  • I actually felt it was...odd as well.

    Just out of place. I support Ukraine and believe we should be contributing to their war effort but felt like his visit was ill-timed, especially given the fact that Pennsylvania is a swing state and he was visiting an ammunition factory which likely has MAGAs in it.

    Honestly, I am surprised he didn't have any incidents.

  • Did Biden ever release Trump's Resolute Letter?

    I've been searching around for a copy of the Resolute Letter that Trump left for Biden. The letters are typically released within a few days of entering office but this was never done because Biden wanted to talk to Trump first before doing so.

    It's been almost four years. Surely it's been done by now and I can't seem to find any article with the letter or anything on the official White House website. I'm tempted to submit a FOIA request for it but wasn't sure where to start.

    RIP fmovies. Long live sudo

    fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

    I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

    I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

    I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

    Is fmovies down for everyone??

    I know it occasionally has service disruptions, but it usually comes back up after a day or so. Fmovies has been down for almost the entire week for me.

    Anyone else having issues?

    Self-Hosted (or github pages hosted) "clipboard"?

    Good day self-hosters! I'm not exactly sure what to call what I'm looking for besides a "clipboard". Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is.

    At work, I get a lot of slack DMs that ask for the same information. It's not consistent to the point I would just pin the information in my Windows 11 clipboard. But it's often enough that I'd prefer to give people the same information each time it's asked.

    I'm limited in what I can build on my work computer. In an ideal world, I'd do what Gilfoyle did and make and bot but I lack the time and skills for such a task. Right now, I solve this with a very long notepad, which is subject to copy/paste errors. If I don't highlight everything correctly or if I accidentally copy over an existing line. That kind of thing.

    What I was thinking was a very simple website where the items I'm copying are in tiles that can be tagged and searched. Once I find what I'm looking for, I can click the button to copy it to my clipboard and then go on with my life.

    Due to restrictions on my work computer, I cannot host containers or host a website, though a fully self-contained HTML page with javascript I could do.. Ideally this is something that can be build using Github Pages build with Jekyll but so far, I haven't found a theme that mimics the behavior I'm looking for and I lack the time (though not the skills) to build it.

    I'd prefer the github route so that I can share the page with others on my team who get asked similar questions.

    I am also able to deploy a website via Github Pages (with .nojekyll).

    I have to think something similar to this already exists but I imagine the restrictions on having no backend might be the challenge. Love to hear your thoughts!

    Edit: added context for Gilfoyle

    Thank you all for the great suggestions. I should have added in this post that my work does not allow software with Copyleft (Don't get me started. I'm a strong copyleft advocate and it annoys me that my company only takes and never gives back to OSS). I'm going to give TiddlyWiki out. License is friendly with my work, seems simple enough to run.

    That said, Logseq seems to be pretty interesting as well. Might try this out on my on machine to see if I like it.
