Hooray Tabletop! I mentioned it in my sign-up, but I am really looking forward to having a dedicated space to talk about TTRPGs, mini-wargaming, and the like. Hopefully it gets added to the list.

And I've already reported it as misinformation. Nice when a website lets you report stuff without having an account.

I don't see why it wouldn't go to Tabletop. If tags ever get added in, it would be better to have actual-play stuff on a tabletop-specific community, since we're the ones who will care specifically about that kind of medium.

Edit: forgot to be specific

Quick, tell him that on Twitter! Maybe he'll actually do it and we'll finally be rid of his godawful grandstanding.

Oh nO! noT SocIAliSm!

Life always finds a way. At least until the moon has drifted so far from our orbit that our atmosphere is no longer sustainable and the oceans boil off the surface of the planet.

Join Mastodon! It's smaller, but growing. And not owned by anyone, much less a baby in a suit.

I'm pretty sure this has something to do with using the Moon as a jumping-off point to the rest of the solar system. Assuming we can get a functioning colony on the Moon, it will be significantly easier and cheaper to get to Mars and potentially other planets as well. This might just be something I heard from a friend of a friend though, so don't quote me on it.

They did. It's called the Vita and it's still amazing even after Sony dumped it. I have one a friend cracked for me, and any game I could possibly want to play runs at a crisp 50 fps with no fluctuation. If only they had marketed it better.

I've been sitting pretty with both uBlock Origin and uMatrix stopping both the ads and the delay from YouTube. Not sure what exactly is doing which, but it's been working for me

Winter harvest makes sense, most citrus fruits are mid-winter. Guess I'll have to wait to add them to my cocktails :( . Appreciate the in-depth dive!

It's kind of wild to think about, that the brain drain that happened to Russia with the rest of Europe in the 1950s is now happening between states here in the US.

Or don't, and just pick what sounds fun!

I always found Reddit to be more enjoyable in the niche subculture stuff anyways, hopefully some of those communities move over here. You would think that the admins for Reddit would understand the "innovate or die" mentality, but that unfortunately does not seem to be the case. I too am looking forward to what Lemmy/KBin brings as a replacement.

The people who would use a Meta variant will use it, and people like us will not. This reminds me of the interview with the Mexican restaurant that spawned Taco Bell. The lady who owned it essentially said, "I'm glad he (the founder of Taco Bell) was able to take our teachings and turn it into something. Good for him." If they build proprietary code, that's nice. ActivityPub will still be the same open-source code it's always been, and all of the Fediverse stuff will still exist. It kinda sucks that Meta is trying to make it seem like they're the good guys, but in the end there isn't much they can do to the already established stuff beyond make their own.

Edit: also, if they do try anything, we at least have previous data and most of the people who care about freedom to privacy here that I'm sure we could come up with something. We're not getting blindsided like with Google and XMPP back in the day.

Switch to calzones, they're better.

The only thing stopping them is their own incompetency. Truly a thin wall, but as their older generations start dying off we'll see that wall broken down.

Save the drained water too, it's a great egg replacer! As long as you don't use pre-salted chickpeas at least.

Would it be pronounced "sh-it" or "z-it"?

And then users from inside Beehaw could request federation maybe?

Lol, I see we had the same idea at the same time

Agreed that they're relatively boring questions, but anything deeper is going to be industry-specific. For example, asking what projects you'll be working on is not particularly helpful for someone who is going into secretarial work. Since OP has never done an interview before, it's mostly important to start them thinking about how they will engage the hiring manager, since it shows at least some interest beyond just having a job. I think it's especially important to figure out where the hiring manager is positioned relative to the job they're hiring for. Are they your boss, or are they hiring for the company? That will give a better idea on if they can answer direct questions about the position or department.

Again, questions are going to be determined by the type of work, the position, the position of the person doing the interview, etc. Without more info, it's hard to tailor questions to the specific. And, quite frankly, it's a good skill to pick up. Learning how to engage your coworkers/managers/vendors/etc. is part of workplace etiquette, imo.

Assuming this is a corporate job, come up with a couple questions for your interviewer. Get them talking about the company and they'll remember you as a good listener. My usual go-to questions are:

• "What's the company culture like?"

• "What aspect of the company do you see as the most enjoyable?"

• "Why did you chose to work for the company, and what's made you stay?"

Questions like that. Try to make it personal and specific, since it's usually the hiring manager that you're interviewing with. You can write them down and bring them with you; as long as you're bringing multiple copies of your resume, you can stash the questions at the bottom of the stack.

If it isn't a corporate position, then it depends. I can't answer for those since I've only done labor and corporate, so I don't now how to interview for technical or artistic positions. I would assume make sure you have your portfolio on hand, though be careful about doing on-site consultations since you would be giving them designs for free and they have no obligation to hire you after that. If they try to do that to you, do not continue the interview with them. Just thank them for their time and leave.

I disagree with your disagreement. If they're dead, they can't suffer.
