  • I just halted a job interview process - due to self respect.

    Jump

  • I remember declining a job offer (I had the contract to sign) long ago because one of the people I'd nominated as a reference contacted me and said "I legally can't answer the questions they've asked about you". Turns out their pro-forma reference questionnaire asked things like "Is this person punctual?", "what issues has this person had?". General dirt digging

    If anybody were to answer that and the job offer got revoked, I could take that person to court for libel. Companies should know better than to ask anything but factual details in a reference.

    So I turned it down stating that if they were so unprofessional around recruitment I wouldn't trust them to be a good professional employer if I worked for them.

  • Texas Hands Over Its Entire Voter Registration List to the Trump Administration

    Jump

  • The whole premise of "registering as a xxxxxx" is screwed up.

  • Are there any films with meaning, like Zardos?

    Jump

  • It's a long time since I watched it. I'm wondering what meaning you found in Zardos except...

    ...Sean Connery in red leather was something the world needed for inexplicable reasons.

  • AOC says ICE has become an “anti-civilian, paramilitary” org after an agent murdered a queer woman

    Jump

  • The folks who own guns are almost all conservative and live in red states where there is positive sentiment towards ice

    I don't think I believe this. The US has 1.2 guns per person including children. You're telling me they are all owned by less than half of the adult population.

  • Record year for wind and solar electricity in Great Britain in 2025

    Jump

  • Several other interesting charts in the article, but that's the headline one

  • Is posting from #Mastodon to a #Lemmy community a good idea or will this just confuse everyone?

    Jump

  • I'm just not sure the two use cases meld very well. Mastodon tends to be "reply and fly", whereas Lemmy can get into discussions.

    I don't know why that is. Maybe it's the twitter character limit that's been baked into people even though it's not a thing on mastodon (might depend on instance).

  • MediaTek Reportedly Prioritizing Development of AI ASICs Over Mobile Chips

    Jump

  • Already going to happen because of RAM prices.

  • Valve & AMD Developers Delivered The Most Code Contributions To Mesa In 2025

    Jump

  • For a long time it was just a software implementation of OpenGL. It's grown into a completely different beast.

    Talk about feature creep!

  • 8 out of 10 bestsellers among new cars in Ukraine in December are electric cars: which models

    Jump

  • Ukraine are burning oil on a different way.

  • European phones - Choose for youself

    Jump

  • The SoC (i.e. the chip that contains the CPU, GPU and pretty much everything else that matters too) in it is made by Mediatek. Taiwanese.

  • Trump must give up ‘fantasies about annexation’, says Greenland’s PM

    Jump

  • Oh it was a fantasy and still is. They've removed the president, but that doesn't stop the regime. The VP has taken power, not the US.

  • But do you condemn Maduro?

    Jump

  • You take my comment as supporting US action. I don't.

    I also don't support Manduro.

    Evil leaders on both sides and innocents being caught in the middle. The rest of your rant is a complete non sequitur.

  • But do you condemn Maduro?

    Jump

  • It's recorded fact that he's barred his political opponents from taking part in elections against him, and made moves to remove the Venezuelan citizenship of others. It's widely regarded as the least democratic country in South America by a significant margin.

    I've tried to link sources which would NOT be the same people saying Biden stole 2020.

    The democracy in Venezuela is a sham. That doesn't mean the US should kidnap the President.

  • Blue could have been the warmest color

    Jump

  • Can we agree it's not orange? That is what I was originally pointing out.

  • But do you condemn Maduro?

    Jump

  • "Democratically elected" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The election process for all of them was very questionable.

  • Blue could have been the warmest color

    Jump

  • White light is light that contains all visible wavelengths at the roughly the same proportions.

    The key word there is "visible". Our eyes adapted to the spectra of our star when filtered by our atmosphere. We perceive that spectra as white.

  • Blue could have been the warmest color

    Jump

  • The sun is, by definition, white. White is what we call it when an object reflects all spectra of sunlight.

    It's only at sunrise / sunset when the atmosphere filters out more of the blue spectrum that it apparently turns more orange/red.

  • Most don't have international relations on their radar, or if they do they think it's tariffs that have soured relationships.

  • British voters want to be part of EU more than French and Italians, poll reveals

    Jump

  • They need to stop being an authoritarian and economically right party. People voted for change, and have not gotten what they voted for.
