Today's not great, and tomorrow is pretty rough too, how about Thursday?

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

It would, I was just overthinking it.

~~Nevermind, user error.~~

No. All news lately tends to focus on the negative (which there is plenty of), not just tabloids. So knee jerk reactions like mine are easy to have.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, that makes sense.

Ah, so you are thinking there would be a centralized system to track applicants* (perhaps the same one that handles payment) - this sounds feasible, the infrastructure mostly already exists (in the US) in state unemployment departments.

*(without it centralized, each company only sees a person once and doesn't know if they accepted another offer or whatnot)

The rest of your points are also good, I don't actually think it would be a big issue, I just had the knee jerk reaction to think about how any good idea would fail these days.

I agree with all of that actually. I'm just used to trying to find the failure mode of anything that sounds good lately.

Yeah if it could be enforced I think it might be viable.

Love it.
Unfortunately, then there would be professional candidates who just never accept a job.

Edit: I've had a lot of great replies pointing out that it likely wouldn't be a big deal anyway. I'm just used to finding fault in anything that sounds good lately.

Oh I've heard this one. What if it's already full of infinite people and infinitely more arrive?

The way my phone is set up, it ends up in a different font that looks bolder:

On my phone it ends up in a different font, so it looks bold compared to the rest of the letters:

Why is the "a" in the title Cyrillic instead of the normal "Latin"?

It's U+0430: CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A

Instead of the usual U+0061

 

Here's a mild introduction to their style. (Also just one of my favorites)

 

The links inside the linked post are relative links, such as xkcd which is a link to /c/xkcd@lemmy.world

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
