Is it really that weird to wear a suit to an interview?
My brother has an interview this week, and he's having a hard time deciding what to wear. I don't think you can go wrong with a suit, but this thread seems to suggest it's possible to be overdressed and people think you are weird:
I haven't met a single person who has thought "what a weirdo, wearing a suit to an interview". I feel like a suit is the default for an interview.
Is it really so controversial? #askfedi
Looking for suggestions of a friend site or app (not dating...yet) to chat with people with similar interests but would actually let me try to chat with the person instead of hiding the person behind a premium plan. For example, I tried using Bumble BFF, entered my info, had 3 likes from others but it won't show me who they are or to chat with them until I pay a premium plan.
dives into the economic concept of the Ulysses pact: “when you take some possibility off the table during a moment of strength in recognition of some coming moment of weakness.”
In the excellent book Dopamine Nation, psychiatrist Dr. Anna Lembke dives into the Ulysses pact on the individual behavioral level, calling it “self-binding”.
#AskFedi Curious to hear your self-binding strategies? I’ll share mine (in reply)

I wonder how a truly Fediverse alternative to #StackOverflow would look like, given that #AskFedi is a thing.
If the questions would be normal ActivityPub messages (everyone can read them) with a common hashtag for subscribing/muting. And (public) answers from everywhere would show up one the page, but could be curated and amended on the target server, maybe we would already be close.
It would be nice to give emoji more meaning this way. If also custom emoji are supported, then the "boost appreciated" #emoji can be filtered on, for instance. And #❓ can be alternative for #AskFedi for instance.
I need to convert #HTML to #Markdown and I'm looking for a tool to do that.
The output should
• preserve line breaks in paragraphs
• not contain additional, unnecessary linebreaks (e.g. 4 empty lines between paragraphs)
• be configurable (e.g. whether to use * or _ for emphasis, or * vs - for unordered lists)
• if possible, allow me to hook into details (e.g. to convert <pre class="shell"> to ```sh)
#Python or #CLI. Alternatively, what's a really configurable prettifier?
📲 Welches Custom ROM (mit MicroG) für das Pixel 5?
Ich soll für jemanden ein Pixel 5 flashen und einrichten. Die Person hat bislang ein anderes Gerät mit #eOS genutzt und eigentlich ist der Auftrag, auch auf dem Pixel /e/OS zu installieren.
Ich habe nun aber gesehen, dass das Pixel dafür einen Downgrade von Android 14 auf Android 13 braucht, daher bin ich nun am Überlegen, ob ich nicht doch ein anderes #CustomROM empfehlen soll.
Für das Pixel 5 kämen infrage: #LineageOS 21 (Android 14) #DivestOS 20.0 (Android 13)
/e/ t (Android 13) #CalyxOS 14 #iodeOS (Android 13)
Da nur LineageOS und CalyxOS Android 14 für das Pixel 5 anbieten, tendiere ich momentan zu CalyxOS (mit dem ich aber noch keine Erfahrung habe).
Für mich persönlich würde ich ja DivestOS nehmen, aber das wäre doch vielleicht noch etwas weiter von eOS weg (und unterstützt #microG nicht bzw. nur über Umwege). Es sollen auch einige Apps über Aurora installiert werden, die wohl bislang mit MicroG auf eOS gut laufen.
Einen besonders hohen Sicherheitsanspruch gibt es in dem Fall nicht; es soll auch kein Banking und keine Zahlungsdienste o.ä. drauf laufen (nur bspw. einige Spiele, die wohl microG erfordern)
Hat jemand von Euch Erfahrung sowohl mit eOS als auch mit CalyxOS und kann von den Unterschieden aus User-Perspektive berichten?
Kann man irgendeine Prognose treffen, welches ROM das Pixel 5 mehr oder weniger lang unterstützen wird?

So questions of the day!
I generally like to ask this of older or experienced people in life.
Disclaimer a fun post, so if you troll it at least make it relevant

In a paragraph or phrase what do you feel is the most important message to pass on to future generations?
I’ve thought about it for awhile. How would you choose, or prioritize a paragraph or so on the most important message for them that you value personally?!!🙏🥰
Several Belgians have said generally the national ID card is for official government operations not for the private sector; willy-nilly requests to show it should be refused in general. But then in reality ID card is demanded in countless commercial non-gov scenarios:...
Belgians say your national ID card is sensitive and should not be presented to non-gov entities, but reality differs. Mobib refused.
