Doesn't mention the one thing that I was curious about: Do they have a domain name and would it change?

I could see them making a lot of money on such a change if it's favorable.

Hmm. Seems to be .nr so it's probably not going to change.

Unfortunately, it's an accurate descriptive (as opposed to prescriptive) definition of how the word is commonly used in English.

As much as I wish it were otherwise, English is extremely far from logically sound.

If only that one service had access to the API then I wouldn't care much, but it sounds like any website can now check if my phone is rooted and deny me access.

Sensible until there are two different Explorer and a whole handful of Messenger - all from the same company. Nowadays it's all Copilot.

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

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It would, I was just overthinking it.

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 2 days 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.

 

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)
