Dolly and Cash?
You can be outraged all you’d like, but if you choose to, then we’re not really competing for the same jobs.
I get that they’re busy, but it’s their problem, not mine.
So? What are you going to do about it? They’re making it your problem, and you can comply or not get hired.
IDK about you, but I’ve got a family to feed, car payments to make, a mortgage, and no self-esteem. It’s clearly hyperbole, but if I have to go down on a clown to make it easier to meet my income requirements, then I’m not gay but I’ll still be looking for some tictacs.
Tbf I’ve done that with first joblistings. Like “ask questions that a suitable candidate for the following joblisting should answer in a job application”. And then pasting my cover letters asking for relevancy and phrasing help. Maybe I should try for ATS optimization.
Now you get it. That was what I was trying to say. They’re just trying to look like they’re doing enough to get paid.
I met a company that still has a machine in their production line, that uses 5.25" floppy discs and an amber monochrome display. “Why?” I hear you ask. Because it still works, it isn’t networked, and the floppies next to it are the only ones it’ll ever interact with.
Update: ffs I’m not defending hr, they’re usually incompetent buffoons. But they’re the incompetent buffoons you need to get past if you want to get hired. And I don’t know about you, but when Frito Pendejo said “I like money” I kinda agreed with him. Anyway back to my OC:
Why? They’re HR and hiring managers, not IT specialists.
Try seeing it from HR’s perspective. They post a job and get +200 applications. The success criteria is not hiring the best candidate, it’s hiring a suitable candidate. Given that premise, why would you read through all 200 applications, when there’s someone with a nice website and cool sounding software, who promise that their product can sort through the resumes and only pick the relevant ones for you?
Heck, I’m definitely going to be looking for an ATS testing site for my CV now. It really doesn’t matter what we think of it. If you want to communicate you’ll have to do it in a way that your recipient will understand, and if my recipient is a PoS software that can’t read PDFs, then writing my CV in latex is probably not the most effective way to communicate.
Are we eventually gonna get more fusion […]
Either you mean fission, or the “more” could be omitted.
If you think this is bad, then you haven’t tried navigating the MS academic offerings. Over the last 10 or so years, I think it’s been called “dreamspark”, “imagine”, “MSDN Academic Alliance” (I liked this one, it actually made sense), “MSDN AA”, and now “Azure Dev Tools for Teaching” or “adt4t” when talking with support.
rant mode ON
Everytime the name is changed, it seems something else changes (OK it’s a new product) and the way to access installers and activate it differs. I just want to teach, but every couple of years I have to spend days trying to figure out how to get my iso’s and how to renew the subscription. A couple of years ago, and mind you this was after I had had an active academic relationship with Microsoft for 8 years, and my predecessor even longer than that before me, we had to submit invoices proving that the school owned the domainname for our emails and website, as well as a letter from the ministry of education that we were licensed to teach this course.
The support staff is very professional and helpful, and we’ve always been able to resolve renewal issues. But each year we have to go through the process of getting through a maze of support pages linking to chatbots, to find the correct form to contact support. I think the link to support form had the text “Beware of the leopard”.
Why not just stick to what we’ve always been doing?
Update: IDK wtf happened. I thought I was in the Trump golf course assassination attempt post in this community. I had even read the summary in the post before commenting. Maybe it’s an error with my client, maybe it’s user error. Anyway, I’m sorry for the confusion.
I know that this is beside the point but it probably wasn’t an AK47. AK47s are kinda rare. It was probably a Kalashnikov style riffle. https://youtube.com/watch?v=L_PR1OdS754
That’s the next step: drop all encrypted traffic.
Maybe it’s a spin on beating a dead horse? It sure feels like it could be… I can’t keep track of all the activists, Americans on both sides, as well as aid workers, who have been killed in this senseless conflict. All the while we hear about dipshits calling for the eradication of civilians.
Wow! 95%? President Tebboune is really popular! Nobody gets 95% of the vote without being very popular. /s
Why do people do this? Is it a show of force? Like “imagine what I can do to you, if I’m able to cheat this boldly”.
I’ve got another addition to my comment, but it does warrant more attention than an edit.
So I’ve found a Danish language interview on this topic, from earlier this year, so before the man in this story was arrested.
Generationsforskelle til trods lægger 57-årige Andrea Vagn Jensen og 23-årige Malaika Berenth Mosendane vægt på, at samtykket ryger, når klippene bliver taget ud af kontekst. Det samme fortæller Angela Bundalovic, der for nylig var aktuel i ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, til DR:
»Jeg oplever det som en krænkelse, at nogen bruger et klip eller billede af mig i en kontekst, jeg ikke er gået med til. For mig hersker der ingen tvivl om at der bliver begået noget forkert mod skuespillernes frihed og materialets ophavsretshavere«.
Translated by yours truly:
Generational differences aside 57yo Andrea Vagn Jensen and 23yo Malaika Berenth Mosendane emphasizes that the consent is lost when the clips are removed from their context. It’s the same for Angela Bundalovic, who recently appeared in ‘Copenhagen Cowboy’, who tells DR [Danish national radio and TV]:
»I experience it as a violation, when someone uses a clip or still frame in a context, that I haven’t agreed to. In my mind there’s no doubt, that the freedom of the actors is being wronged as well as the copyright holders of the material«.
The police even has a statement on the matter which I suggest that you run through your preferred translation service https://politi.dk/national-enhed-for-saerlig-kriminalitet/nyhedsliste/39-aarig-anholdt-for-at-dele-noegenscener-fra-film/2024/09/03
I’m pretty sure she means molested as in abused or misused.
On a side note, as to the molesting aspect, I can’t see how this is any different than 14yo me having a couple of VHS tapes where the boob-parts were more worn than the rest of the tape. Or going frame by frame on the Taxi 2 DVD in the scene where Petra does kung fu in a skirt. Or golden child where the mythical woman behind the curtain is revealed. Or the shower/locker room scene in robocop. Or the bath scene in coming to America. Or the playboy mansion in Beverly Hills cop 2… Anyway I digress.
If you appear naked in a movie, expect teenage boys and creepy men to jerk off to you. Not the perfect world would be, I know. In the perfect world everyone would respect that the actress was only nude as an artistic choice, and it wasn’t meant to be spank bank material.
Copyright on the other hand, I thought that was just a civil law matter. Wonder why the guy was arrested.
Edit: Oh shit, good thing that I don’t sail the seven seas, and definitely never has. 2 years ago a Danish guy got 30 days probation for doing less than some of my friends did in high school and university.
Come on! I’ve stopped logging on as root, can’t we just leave it at that?
