My guess is it’s because it’s a similar role to a Reddit Admin, which is to say they’re basically a global moderator. Also, having access of any kind to the site’s SQL server requires an element of trust. That’s probably why they require the video interview.

They probably have that at a state fair here in the US. They deep fry everything there, even Oreos.

That only barely looks like a face of an older woman.

The last time I had to setup a Windows profile (late last year on my then-new laptop), that was the case. Has that changed?

Being forced to be online to log in and forced use of OneDrive confuses new users just as much

You’re not forced to use either of those, IIRC. Just set it up without connecting to the internet or without signing in.

These days, I only ever use Reddit to find answers and to comment in one small community I probably could not live without. I’ve drastically cut down on my Reddit usage since whole API debacle.

(Don’t ask about trying to move that community to Lemmy. Already had someone ask that repeatedly the last time I mentioned this. They’ve polled their users, and they’re not moving.)

Do you mean New Old Reddit or Old Old Reddit? /hj

No, seriously, they’re apparently working on a New New Reddit to replace their half-baked New Old Reddit (and presumably their still-working-perfectly Old Old Reddit).

They do have an option to enable history, but I have it turned off.

Actually, that “setting” is there just for show. It can’t be turned on. Underneath the setting, it says

Currently this option can not be turned on. Kagi does not save any searches by default. In the future we may add features that will utilize your search history and then we will allow you to enable this.

I installed Mint on a USB to give it a go.

My wifi driver doesn’t work on it. I have to plug my phone in to use it as a tethered hotspot to get it to connect. And I tried what a lot of the guides said online. Nothing.

I’d say I have the technical chops. I just don’t have the time and energy needed to try to fix something.

I’m also the kind of person that, if everything’s not working exactly the way I want it to, then I need to fix it right now. So I know I’d waste hours trying to fix something that (for me) just works on Windows.

To be fair, at least with Windows, if you do a reinstall I’ve always found that it never runs quite like it used to. I’ve sometimes had to deal with some weird quirks afterwards. A friend of mine who kept switching between Google Android and open-sourve Android on his phone said the same thing. Every time he reinstalled Google Android, it simply wouldn’t run as well as it did beforehand.

It’s like taking a plumbing pipe out and putting it back in. Or taking apart a car engine and putting it back together. It never quite fits together the way it used to anymore.

They update on two Tuesdays a month

Correction: It updates every second Tuesday of the month. (Not including any potential “Preview” updates which might get released. Those are all optional updates, though.)

The perfect soundtrack for this comic: https://youtu.be/6tMhkQ520Sk

I think Peter does end up working for Stark in some of the comics. Then he goes on to form Parker Industries later on.

No, he becomes Peter B. Parker.

Example: one of my shirts cannot go in the dryer. It has to hang dry.

I’m curious if Sony had properly advertised their account creation requirement much earlier on if people would’ve accepted.

It’s not even that they didn’t properly advertise it. It’s that they changed the requirements completely. Here’s a before and after of one of their FAQ pages:

I’m not quite that young. Netizen is a “citizen of the internet”, IIRC. More specifically, it’s a portmanteau of “internet” and “citizen”.

I had also heard what the meaning of GIF was, though not so often that I could remember it off the top of my head.

I’m not quite as old as the JPG format, but I do still remember using dial-up. I still remember accidentally logging into the internet when my dad was on the phone one day. I could hear his voice through the computer speakers. I immediately closed the browser. It was something that’d, surprisingly, never happened while I was on the computer before.

Yeah, but it’s almost always used for animations. Seeing one that’s not animated just feels… weird.
