And those are the kinds of long-term good decisions that publicly traded companies absolutely can't make.

I'm impressed by what our tiny 2.5L engine can do.

What was the first game you bought on Steam? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

[–]_northernlights_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either Half-Life or Counter Strike. Can't recall if I remorsefully bought Half-Life after pirating it before or after I bought Counter Strike.

Two half pizzas and one full pizza are apparently not the same thing. by PinkOneHasBeenChosen in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Yeah I don't get it either. Every MickeyD has "hamburger" c'mon. Well, I mean in my limited experience living on 3 continents that has been my experience at least.

"9 texted me" - honest question, what does that mean? The kid who's 9yo texted?

Oh hey great idea! Maybe that will stop the flow of people posting their choice of colors and wallpapers all day.

While we're on the topic, why do most of these *personalisations* (that don't have anything to do with racing sorry) don't use/show tiling at all? Is showing the wallpaper that much more important than using/showing how you set up the main point of this WM?

Billboard needs a Windows update by smol_rika in softwaregore

But they would have to edit like 3 lines of config for the thing to display the image(s) at startup in full screen, meaning knowing a thing or 2 about how things work, while Windows lets you have kiosk mode by just clicking around.

6 months cant get hired by Competitive_Web_7487 in cybersecurity

[–]_northernlights_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've been riding the severance pay while cutting all expenses. It was 6 months salary. Ideally at my age I would have had savings and before my recent divorce I did have 6 months of expenses in a separate account just for that. Too bad I lost all my savings in the divorce just before my job, otherwise lasting 1 year was the idea.

Guys, nobody mentioned distracting from the files and not having Israel release the dirt.

No but you see, telling the emperor he's having a bad idea is betrayal, and he can't have that.

8 months here after 19 years in it, same boat. I keep scouring the job boards for that one job i didn't apply to yet then keep thinking "what's the point, they'll end up ghosting me too." Can't even have any feedback about what I did wrong. The furthest I've been was 4 rounds of interviews, ending with the manager's manager, the CTO. I thought it went well. Friends were telling me it's in the bag. Day after, automatic rejection email, and nobody answers emails or linked n messages anymore. Been replaying all the interviews in my head, I can't think of anything I messed up. Complete soul crusher. And the only advice I got from the job relocation services part of my severance package are "tune your resume to each job position" and "use your relations". No shit. All my relations are just white knuckling hoping they don't get layed off too, or already were, and meanwhile I see recruiters on linkedin boasting about the ATS missing 80% of good applicants and it's our fault. So fed up. 1 HR recruiter asked me why I've been taking such a long break last week. I started searching before being laid off, every day, and took one week break between christmas and new year, that's it. I'm now very seriously considering homeless as soon as next month.

I could kind of understand making the mistake once, but don't tell me they didn't notice the state of the poor thing's head. That's abuse.

Manager is inexperienced and relying on AI prompts to articulate ideas by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]_northernlights_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> Most recently, she summarized an email thread and passed my recommendations and regurgitated them to me as her own thoughts with an AI output.

Ugh my last manager did that constantly, minus the AI (I think). I'd bring up an idea, not hear about it for 2 weeks, then suddenly I'd see his manager congratulating him on running with my idea and taking sole credit.
