I think that is a bit of a gamble. They might not want to hire you because it will be clear that you are looking to be promoted as soon as possible. Then they will have to go through the hiring process again to fill the position you just left.
If I were desperate for a job and needed this position I’d probably claim I was making around the top end of the positions salary range rather than much more. Then just deal with it until I can move up. In an ideal world I’d be applying for a job that is already at my current level with appropriate pay.
Are you overqualified for the position or are they just paying lower than market rate? Or perhaps were you previously making more than market rate? It’s always a good idea to try and get as high of a salary as you can, but jobs are going to be listed for a specific range for a reason. For example if it is a junior developer position they won’t want to hire a senior developer regardless of whatever reasons led to that person applying. The risk is high that this person won’t stick around in the junior position because they are too experienced.
The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee tastes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.
I don’t recall exactly when it was, but quite awhile ago I saw Twitter transitioning from a place people use internet aliases to talk about niche things into a place where official organizations like local city governments, news channels and even the fire station to put out information. As well as people using real identities including celebrities. That’s when I bailed. It might have been around 2012? I don’t know for sure. The same problem happened on Facebook.
Using these websites as a place to do serious things feels absurd to me. Like trying to have a discussion about politics on a neopets forum. Except it is a neopets forum that is mostly porn. At least Facebook doesn’t have porn, but I don’t like the idea of real identities online. Real identities are for offline in my opinion. Official organizations should use dedicated sites for their purpose. Or a self hosted mastodon instance where they don’t allow sign ups if they really want this format of delivery.
Edit: I find it strange that this image is implying that as soon as you stop implementing features you start dying. This is how you get needless bloat and turning solid software into something its original design never intended. A lot of software companies fall prey to this plan of endless expansion which eventually turns off the primary userbase of their software.
Lemmy doesn’t need infinite features to continue surviving, but we definitely aren’t there yet.
It would be to be a completely mutual agreement where all parties understand all the details and implications. It will probably never happen so it makes way more sense to make data harvesting and selling of user data illegal.
I don’t think you actually need to compete against Youtube to be a viable alternative. It doesn’t seem like it matters that Peertube has 0.001% of the userbase as Youtube because the goal isn’t to make money. If I want to host a video to share with people I can put it on Peertube right now and give people a link. I’d call that a viable alternative.
Bananas, potatoes, corn, oats, bread and rice are all pretty cheap. When I’m trying to not spend any money I’m fine with a bowl of oatmeal with some sliced bananas in it.
The other day I watched someone try to dump their trash into a trash can and they just completely missed and got it all over the floor. They just left it there and walked away. I don’t think I could even force myself to do something like this. It seems inhuman. 😑
When a person finds any excuse to be angry to the point of intentionally misinterpreting things. It’s impossible to have a conversation with such people.
The situation would have to be rather intentional. Like I’m in a room next to a room with the other people and the fact that my death saves them is an absolute beyond questioning. Ideally I’d also be able to see them.
In that situation probably just 2.
I don’t think this can be extrapolated to any possible real world scenario.
I’d be worried about breaking compatibility across the lemmyverse. The thing that makes the Lemmy a federated system is that they are all instances of the same thing. Also the main contributors are going to be the most knowledgeable on the subject which is why their opinions would be important. They are also the owners of the repository. It’s not a democracy just because it is open source.
It is still an option though if the original project starts doing things that cross some line. The example given doesn’t seem even close to crossing that line. I don’t see how this person thinks this decision by them is unreasonable. Do they believe that their change should be the default behavior of the default UI of Lemmy and that this is the majority opinion on the matter? Seems unlikely to me.
Sounds good to me. I’ll have friends and family watch from the outside so I’ll be confident it isn’t some kind of ruse.
