Sure, it’s called Boarding School.

It stands out, it’s recognizable. I guess that works for some people, I personally think it’s ugly. I stylewise somewhat get that the low-poly idea has an appeal to people, but then the no rounded corners and the choice of material totally kills it for me.

they will try to crack down on it either way, might as well go out with a fight. The more popular it is to use adblocking and the less niche weirdo psycho, the less “normal” it is for whatever shit they wanna do, however far they want to go to literally force bullshit into your brain wether you want it or not.

Do you want cookies? Do you want to share your details with 1049 trusted data partners?

They click this thing once. 1 time only for years of “not being bothered by it” (that they notice actively).

I agree it’s total shit but it is from a regular user point of view, easier to use the “i agree” button on most of that stuff once, than to try to avoid it. Constantly on the same few websites anyhow.

Still doesn’t explain the no ad-block for me though, it’s a whole lot easier on the mind to browse ad-free, it is well worth the tiny effort of using ff and activating ublock…

I still see one party racing with arms and one party trying to survive.

Not sure if arms race is the right way to put it when 1 side is deploying nukes and the other is only deploying shields. Money ruined the internet, ads is just one way how it did that.

a design that throws any modern safety feature in designing overboard is a bad design. It’s ugly, and it will age even uglier. It’s an incredibly dangerous design for anyone not inside it, it should be banned.

hah menus looked cooler than the game itself

How much would we save if we’d somehow be able to debloat and deshittify the Internet and all devices? Climate impact, overconsumption of unnecessary crap, mental health care…

Tuna on pizza is so dry. They don’t belong together.

are you going to rob them while they’re away?

yeah the resume is the silly part, it’s a remnant from the past. Somehow for flipping burgers they are by doing this checking wether you can neatly summarize you’re academic history and your skillset, it’s completely pointless. And for high skilled or specific jobs, you’re better off asking some in the workfield questions anyhow, instead of the “why don’t you decide what you want to tell us”-resume.

that computers are sophisticated enough to drive cars

they aren’t

There is a positive to there being a treshold to applying for a job. It lowers the amount of applicants that will 100% not fit the job description, while making it more possible for HR/management to actually sift through every applicant, increasing the chances you’ll get hired if you do put in the effort and if you do meet the requirements. Look at it as an overcomplicated catpcha. They’re not just trying to test if you’re a human, they’re trying to test if you are human & actually are really interested in this job & actually do think you meet the requirements (or equivalent, causing you to put in the effort). It doesn’t make much sense for very low skilled low wage jobs, but it does for higher and/or very specifically skilled jobs.

No reading every resume is an incredibly stupid way to spend time, even for HR workers (they are somewhat educated aka not cheap).

It would make sense for every joblisting to use the same format and you just filling it all out once in said format and connecting to any company / job listing you’ld want to apply to. That’s basically what linkedin does to some extent. That, but without the social network bullshit, would be pretty cool.

A lot of shitty policies are common. It doesn’t make them less shitty.

I have the impression ad block literacy has declined a lot. 10-15 years ago I’ld be surprised if someone of friends, peers, same age group people didn’t have ad blocking. Now… I’m often surprised if they do, because it became less common to “put in the effort” of using ff with ublock.

Do they somehow calculate in this the value off the youtube harvested user data that serves other Google branches? No, right?

Ship insurance is somewhat how modern capitalist world trade came into existence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company?wprov=sfla1

Bunch of people putting money together for ship to have a try going and returning with lots of goodies, is like an insurance I’m some way.

I think insurance isn’t just possible, it’s obligated to be allowed to enter certain ports with certain shipsizes.
