  • AI is doing job interviews now—but candidates say they'd rather risk staying unemployed than talk to another robot

    Jump

  • My reaction when I read this article

    Also this interviewee sums it up quite perfectly:

    “If I know from looking at company reviews or the hiring process that I will be using AI interviewing, I will just not waste my time, because I feel like it’s a cost-saving exercise more than anything,” Cobb tells Fortune. “It makes me feel like they don’t value my learning and development. It makes me question the culture of the company—are they going to cut jobs in the future because they’ve learned robots can already recruit people? What else will they outsource that to do?”

  • Not my problem

  • I still think no-code tools are better suited for building prototypes without requiring development knowledge in order to prove your idea. LLMs just added a complicated extra-step.

    NixOS and/or TrueNAS - What are your experiences?

    Jump

  • I personally ended up running my containers on a VM on top of TrueNAS to get the best of both worlds (and because back then running applications directly on TrueNAS SCALE was convoluted)

    You could read this article where the author runs NixOS in VMs on top of TrueNAS.

  • Anyome know of a better job search platform that isn't Indeed?

  • Why no central script repository?

    Jump

  • If you want something like a repository that is distribution agnostic, you can use Brew. It is no longer restricted to macOS, it has been handling Linux executables for quite some time now.

  • This. I have been using it a lot lately to manipulate CSVs, it is such a godsend.

  • British Airways crew mistakenly booked into a sex dungeon and were kept awake by 24-hour orgy.

  • God, that article was awful to read with The Sun pushing other articles between every damn paragraph.

  • Can AI run a physical shop? Anthropic’s Claude tried and the results were gloriously, hilariously bad

    Jump

  • AI bros are trying really hard to convince people that their parrots can be useful in business settings.

  • ubuntu-debullshit: Purges snaps, installs flatpaks, and restores vanilla GNOME

    Jump

  • Longer support windows with LTS? I could see some people or industries sticking with a particular LTS in order to keep particular pieces of software running.

    Otherwise, I agree, why bother.

  • ubuntu-debullshit: Purges snaps, installs flatpaks, and restores vanilla GNOME

    Jump

  • I wonder if updates between Ubuntu versions break with all these changes.

  • What is the best way to learn a new language as an adult?

    Jump

  • I 100% agree with your advice.

    I tried learning Portuguese with Duolingo, in a couple of months I only managed to learn words, but no grammar. I fared better with Babel, which has more structured courses, but since there was no accountability, I wasn't diligent and did not progress much. Finally, I enrolled in an evening class and in the span of 4 months my level went from "I barely know the basics" to A1.2

    Also, as others mentioned, consuming content in said language and conversing (even online) helps a lot (that's how I honed my English), having a pen pal is even better.

  • Godaddy is pissing me off. Which registrar is decent for selfhosters these days?

    Jump

  • I've always used OVH, never had problems with them. They also offer emails for pretty cheap.

  • Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to integrate Grok into the chat app; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue.

    Jump

  • Telegram are being paid by xAI to use their product? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

  • Firefox users, how do you use multi account containers, if you even do?

    Jump

  • I did not stray much from the default setup as I rarely need more than one container, especially at work. I did set some rules like opening YouTube and inbox.google.com (which redirects to GMail) in the Personal one.

    I also installed the very handy Easy Container Shortcuts for opening new containers with keyboard shortcuts, as well as Facebook Container in an attempt to limit Meta's tracking[^1].

    [^1]: Similar add-ons exist for other sites such as Google, Twitter and Amazon.

  • Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • Most probably Microsoft has set objectives for how much LoC are from LLMs and developers invented numbers to match that metric (because they probably have things more important to do than counting LoC)

  • Do you use poweroff or suspend on your Linux systems? Why?

    Jump

  • Oh right, I confuse the two

  • Do you use poweroff or suspend on your Linux systems? Why?

    Jump

  • Power off. I never used hibernation nor suspend (even on Windows) and as I don't use some of my computers for weeks, it just doesn't make sense to keep them suspended for so long. And now that I'm on Fedora Atomic Desktop with auto-updates, I would have to reboot regularly anyway in order to apply updates.

    Only exception is the Steam Deck for which I kept suspend so I can pick up my games where I left off.

  • Sharing Jellyfin

  • This. Just setup fail2ban or similar in front of Jellyfin and you'll be fine.

  • Chrome is worth around $50 billion, DuckDuckGo CEO guesstimates

    Jump

  • Exactly, I don't understand why so few articles covering the trial suggest Chrome going independent as an option.
