I always try to build things that I might want!
I am fortunate to have a lot of other hobbies, so I build little things for myself for those hobbies.
One of my first scripts I ever wrote around 2004 was a Perl script to get what song was playing and automatically update my IM “status”.
I also made databases of comics and CDs for myself too.
The easiest way to get better is by doing, and doing is way easier when it’s something I care about.
Yep, whatever template I use looks really nice. Very professional.
It’s actually the most editable format my resume has ever been in, too! I started using LaTeX over a decade ago. I just update it when I need to and it prints out exactly the same way to PDF.
I will proselytize something like this for a resume any time. I am very curious about typst as well!
I used LaTeX! I found a resume template and edited it.
I’m surprised there isn’t a good typst template for resumes that is easy to edit!
I’m not reading all that. Sorry for your issue, or I’m happy for you. Whichever you prefer.
It has been remarkably useful! I keep trying to tell people about it but apparently I am just their main use case or something.
I would have loved it when I was using Samba to share files on my local network decades ago. It’s like a Swiss Army knife!
rsync can sometimes look similarly scary! I very clearly remember triple-checking what it’s doing.
rclone works amazingly well if you have hundreds of folders or thousands of files and you can’t be bothered to babysit a portal.

Tangentially, I don’t see people talk about rclone a lot, which is like rsync for cloud storage.
It’s awesome for moving things from one provider to another, for example.
It was more of a rhetorical because of the second sentence, but it’s clear you didn’t read that far.
Is lemmy.ml chock full of dumbshits?
I turn everything off in Firefox’s new page except search! I always found the news stuff distracting too.
My question is: can it be turned off?
Mozilla has been trying to get me to look at news or use Pocket for years now, but it’s easy to turn off.
Edit to add: my above reference to turn off two different settings I’ve turned off for years now seemed obvious to me that I assumed it could be turned off.
Lot of people didn’t read past the first sentence.
Oooh this is lemmy.ml. Fuck gross bye
The best you can do in any job is to care as little about them as they care about you.
They will barely read it, and they won’t care nearly as much as you do.
I resign my position as a [position], effective [DATE].
I’d never get my clothes out
Try playing an old PCM wave file from a 68k based Macintosh or Amiga on a PC.
I really appreciate how specific this is. It sounds like it’s from experience.
Huh.
Does anyone else think that ChatGPT is still using the data, they’re just not referencing Reddit directly?
This is how you can tell Reddit’s $200+/share price is insane. Over 10% of its value dropped based on a different unprofitable company’s references to ingested content.
Yikes!!
A previously-posted Gizmodo article said
Kabas reports that 1.7 million was 436% above a subscriber loss that’s typical for the same period
Which I thought was very useful.
There’s also a small mental cost to switching contexts, from reader to browser.
This is actually one of the better uses of AI I’ve seen because it is literally asking a large language model about language.
I probably still won’t use it, but at least it makes sense!
He’s been told his entire life he’s better than everyone else, it’s no wonder he convinces others.
He spent part of his youth benefiting from apartheid and being a German kid in an African town that literally glorified Nazism until the 1980s.
He got all of the $100,000 he first lost in bad investments from family and friends.
Celebrity billionaires, they’re just like us… lmao
I don’t go to bars but I vaguely remember seeing bar-top digital games at some point too.
I can’t remember when this was, I just remember being flabbergasted that someone might pay to play a bejeweled knockoff or something.
The photos having rust on them are because the authors are quite lazy and they need an image.
So they just look for copyright-free images of a rusty USB and they’re all set.
