  • Same story. 2022 I got 12 interviews in one week, 8 in the next from about 30 applications (not counting interviews for second round)

    Done i didn’t pass, others didn’t pass me

    2026, I’m looking again

    200+ applications.

    1 reply so far that at least got me a third interview round but I just found out there are 2 more rounds. It’s a higher level job, fine, but seriously… 200, and the one that replied was application #2

    From the rest?

    Nothing. A very few (less than ten) at least replied with the “we love you but…” mails, the rest didn’t even bother with that much.

    Companies have been very spoiled somehow because most think it’s okay to ask for an application that you include a cover letter why you want the job, a separate letter saying why you love the xpmpa souch, a one minute video about how I love the company, and so on

    BITCH did you forget that an employment is a mutually beneficial relationship, where you get the fruits of my work and you pay me a good salary? You are not the king, your company sucks and I want to work because I need an income to pay rent



  • The problem with any social platform is that people tend to go where their friends and family are at. Add to that that most people will just have one account for anything. Like when people have their Facebook account, they’re not going to take the 5 minutes to open up a friendica account, if they even know that exists to begin with.

    Ways forward?

    Don’t fuck up and let meta/Google/apple/reddit/etc fuck up more nad more, making people leave and search for alternatives

    Find a billionaire friendly to the cause and willing to invest in development and marketing

    Keep evangelizing friends and family, but hell, even some close friends that are nerd developers are still on Reddit for some messed up reason.


  • Repost of my reply elsewhere:

    This guy is already retired, he wants to spend his days sailing and here we are bitching about rsync not being good enough while we all use if for free

    Most of us won’t be able to help code, fine.

    But most of us could help with translations

    Many of us could help with documentation

    Some of us could contribute regularly with small financial donations

    Some of us might have enough knowledge and expertise and experience to help code

    Others could come up with other tasks that could be done.

    The point is: rsync need more resources. Either we get him more resources or we STFU about the retired dev using AI. We can’t have it both ways.


  • Well yes but.

  • Same for Linux and office365

    Word 365 on Linux is literally sabotaging you, at random deleting texts you previously wrote. Whole sets of words just randomly disappear as if you never typed them. You type them, they’re there, you continue typing and 1-2 paragraphs later, part of the text you wrote is suddenly gone. No undo available or anything, it’s as if it never happened.

    It got to the point heere i wrote documents in Google drive, then exported then and imported them in word 365, that did work

    Then I found out that all I had to do is send M$ servers a user agent header saying it’s Windows 11 And suddenly everything works




  • I think you both make good points

    Reality is simple: those kids are bombed invisibly, nobody sees them. It happens, but many people don’t pick up on it because suppression of news and propaganda

    Those commercials you see 24/7 and there is no opt out, no escaping it, and it would destroy the beauty of the world

    I’m not trying to say that bombed kids don’t matter, or are somehow less important, of course, but I do think that this is the reality of the situation will be simply that visibility will make all the difference

    You just gotta love the “do not hallucinate” part of that prompt, which is like taking a person tripping balls on LSD, and telling them “now hear this, I want you to only tell me facts, and I do not want you to hallucinate!”

    Good luck with THAT.
