But somehow they’ll still expect you to have tailored resumes and cover letters. This is the one positive thing that’s come out of “Ai” writing: Spend 2 seconds generating some tailored business jargon they love so much, which is still 2 seconds more than any effort they’d bother with on their end.

“Ha! Yeah right. You’re TOO PERFECT. This must be fake, obviously. You can’t fool me! NEXT.”

Man isn’t that fun, getting punished by educators for outsmarting them?

“Kick em’ right in the future! That’ll teach ya ta have an inquiring mind around HERE!”

Yeah I honestly agree. Memories is a vast improvement, so much so that it should just be the default at this point. I went so far as to get a menu customizer addon to just remove Nextcloud Photos as an option. I feel like it puts off new users more then helps anything.

I’m glad there’s other options like the OP link, but I seriously enjoy Memories / Nextcloud for hosting it on my own hardware. Very little maintenance, has an app. Uploads from my phone whenever I plug it in to charge. Basically more than enough feature parity with Google photos that I could finally dump that mess. :)

My gosh, you’re right. They always say “In my professional medical opinion” or “within a reasonable degree of medical certainty”…I always found it reasonable wording because we’re indeed a litigious society and nobody can be 100% certain…

… But is a major function of that paradigm just to allow the likes of insurance companies or random senators to say “That’s just like, your opinion, man” at them? :|

(Effectively: "The Lebowski Shutdown " maneuver)

Hang on there. Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.

But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it’s been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.

The line between dystopic memes and Black Mirror is getting hella blurry :|

“Better come heavily armed and send bachelors.”

It’s amazing how low on the ladder American doctors’ opinions are!

Far below politicians, bosses, and most of all insurance companies, who, as we all know, possess way more hands on medical training. (is /s even needed!? Lol)

Hah. Hah.

Our sick days / PTO were the same pool. Flu or family trip, you still only got “one week’s worth of hours” off per year.

This was part time, but still insane.

Yeah, not to mention the anxiety of “If I don’t satisfy them with some answer now, they’re gonna drag me into a ‘little talk for a moment’ later that’ll feel like an interrogation.”

I think we really need workshops on training and resilience on how to talk to bosses and not break under pressure.

Lord knows these sociopaths have plenty of “management training” on how to coerce, intimidate, and interrogate employees!

Yeah there’s absolutely this feedback loop conditioning where nobody tells us this. And even if we know it, actually putting it into practice is such a mountain.

I’m vehemently anti-authoritarian, but damn if the “yield to authority” conditioning isn’t shock-collaring me every time some douche in a suit wants to talk to me like I’m a child in trouble.

Ah, so basically “The Department of Just Asking Questions.” 🤢

Why, why do I have Lemmy open just before bed. :| I’m fascinated but also creeped.

This is excellent. Thanks for the insight!

I liked a lot about Skyrim, minus the “hand to hand is a minigame now” thing, and basically how it’s almost intended to make an omni-character who can just start dipping into any skills and be good at them, without much reward for a thought-out build.

That and magic…dual-magicking was cool, except it just turned into “Why wouldn’t you always use two of the same spell!?” and combining elements wasn’t a thing. . .

Y’know everyone really snarls at Morrowind’s game mechanics, and I can see why they don’t have mass appeal but…idk, I built a character that had a combat proficiency as a major skill, and didn’t try to fight things when my fatigue was near zero, and I found myself enjoying it for what it was even early game.

When you kinda see it as a sometimes jank simulation that abstracts all the crazy in-depth combat the devs WISH they could include at the time, like a tabletop game does, it feels more fun to accept (and eventually break lol).

Exactly. If the roles are the problem, write better roles! I’m surprised it’s not seen as an insult if a role is just token-swapped and “pity given” as some kinda EDI-initiative for culture points.

I would love to be exposed to more genuine characters that reflect their backgrounds. But I get a bit annoyed at this bizarre box-ticking tokenism that’s clearly pervading Hollywood, as if they ever gave a crap about anybody in the first place.

Stoking identity conflict makes them money. Lots of it. It keeps them relevant at the forefront of “the discussion” in a world where cultural relevance is literal currency.

The same corporations that’ll “champion diversity” with a “palette swap” on screen, will outsource their VFX from places with horrible working conditions, for instance. It’s all a big show and apparently lots of us are still falling for it.

It’s definitely a cynical move by Disney no matter how you slice it.

• “If you think we’re super woke, you go support the movie. We get money.”

• “If you hate it (because we thought a superficial change would cover the fact we barely tried), it’s because you’re a nasty racist bigotface, your opinion is disregarded, galvanizes our first crowd into giving us more money, and angry actually-racist bloggers probably hate-watch it while advertising it for free. We get money.”

Ain’t the culture wars grand (if you’re selling to both sides like a proper arms dealer)? :D

“taken the keys to hundreds of vehicles”.

Look! Actual action that has disruptive tangible consequences!! That’s how it’s done.

Now have every failed negotiation end in random components going missing from random vehicles.

“Oh it’s not theft, they’re on premises. We’re just really bad about remembering where we put what…gee I sure hope you came prepared with a generous contract!”
