It's not that my boss cares per se, but I still think people form a subconscious image of your work ethic, and I think it's always better to be seen as a "hard worker" when it comes to promotion time

Honestly, that makes it funnier to me

I'm on board with bashing project 2025, but I don't think I'd call those "4th rate universities," at least not UT Austin

St. Louis's Forest Park is bigger still at 5.3 km^2

Anyone from Germany care to comment on why this is? Y'all seem to have such a large presence on here compared to others

internet service providers

This is the key here, though. Twitter isn't an ISP, they're just making it more annoying when navigating from their site to elsewhere.

Maybe one day I'll get there too, but not today

She knocked the window washer off by opening the windows? That's what I'm getting at least haha

I would like to hear this story

I think Lemmy specifically doesn't fall victim to the issue of certain news agencies and personalities being exclusive to the platform as much as Mastodon does with Twitter. You can get the same news here as long as someone is there to post it, but that's where Lemmy is a bit behind at the moment: we haven't hit that critical mass of users such that smaller communities have enough content to sustain themselves. Maybe the platform isn't ready for all those people quite yet either; I think the software has a little maturing to do before mass adoption would happen.

join-lemmy.org needs some serious work if it's really what people are going to link when others ask about it; it's really no wonder that we've mostly only amassed technical folks. I also think the default UI/UX could use a lot of work to bring it up to standards with other modern social sites. I wish that would be a priority for the devs, but I know they only have so much time to devote to things

Tbf, the original photo was already discounting her abilities. Saying "can program code" for a lead SWE is saying like "can do calculus" for physicist.
