Dagwood222 , to asklemmy in what tips do you have to survive job hunting?

Apply for Civil Service jobs.

You won’t get hired quickly, but the jobs come with great benefits and strong unions.

coffee_with_cream ,

Any tips on this? I’ve been out of work for a while

Dagwood222 ,

I don’t know where you live, so I can only tell you what worked in my area.

First, the local library. Near me the main branch has a Job Opportunity Center where they have listings for all the civil service jobs.

The Chief-Leader is a New York City website/printed newspaper that has listings of all Civil Service jobs in the area.

You can contact the state/province Department of Labor and see what they have.

coffee_with_cream ,

Thank you very much 🙏

Dagwood222 ,

Good luck

Pacattack57 , to nostupidquestions in What's your take on marijuana consumption while attending AA or NA?

Out of respect for fellow attendees you should refrain from being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while attending self help groups. You don’t know what other people are going through and giving off the impression that you don’t care about anyone else’s struggles is not only a bad look, but can be counter productive to the meeting.

boredsquirrel , to linux in Anyone knows if it's possible to color command line commands as you type them (kind of like an editor)?

Fish shell

You can change the used shell in the configs. At least for Alacritty, when I used it (dont care, it was still kinda broken, I just use Konsole)

Interesting, I never heard of setting your shell in the emulator config. I just used ‘chsh’ once when I setup the install.

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Yeah please dont use chsh.

Zsh may work, dash (which is a faster, smaller reimplementation of bash) may work.

But fish absolutely doesnt.

Just because you want to have a nice writing experience, that doesnt mean your whole OS needs a different shell.

I will experiment with dash though. Ubuntu uses it as the root shell, so it is really well tested.

priapus ,

What do you mean by won’t work? chsh is not changing the shell of the entire OS, it’s changing your users login shell. Unless you’ve done something to make your login break without bash, this is completely fine. Using chsh is even how the Fish docs recommend setting it as your default.

What Ubuntu did isnt about login shells, they replaced /bin/sh with dash, meaning any scripts that try to use sh will instead use dash.

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Thanks for the heads up.

sparr ,

please dont use chsh

chsh just changes the shell when you log in to a shell. all the other shells are still available and usable. any script starting tieh #!/bin/bash will still run with bash, even if you’re using zsh or fish.

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Yes bash scripts still work, but I heard there may be other things that randomly break.

Many things use #!/bin/sh for example, which often is a link to bash, but may not work anymore.

lelgenio ,

chsh does not modify /bin/sh

Maybe you’re thinking of a certain video from a certain YouTuber who linked /bin/sh to fish?

boredsquirrel ,
@boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net avatar

Haha no didnt think of that? Hm, I dont know why it would be an issue then. POSIX compliant shells should be no problem, but I wouldnt do it for fish

billgamesh ,

It will never matter what your login shell, unless you have bash specific scripts in your login. chsh -s /bin/fish $(whoami) is fine.

adespoton , to nostupidquestions in Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time.

No stupid questions, but repeatedly asking variations of the same question referencing your ban from reddit might catch up with you eventually.

Ephera ,

Yeah, while these questions have mostly been too ridiculous to be considered, repeatedly asking what precisely warrants a ban sounds like you’re looking to walk that line.
Just don’t walk the line and don’t consider your wildest Reddit experiences as that line.

In particular, there is no point in asking these questions, because as we already elaborated on the first post, no one knows what will get you banned from individual communities or instances, since there’s a lot of different humans involved in the decisions.
But the community is smaller, so if you’re posting good content and interacting with people in a friendly way, the moderators will likely know you and gladly give you the benefit of the doubt.

ccunning , to nostupidquestions in Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time.

Can you outpace Jimmydoreisalefty? They haven’t gotten banned…

Don_Dickle OP ,

Well it got to where it was almost an addiction when I had downtime where I was stationed at. I was commenting on stuff maybe like 50 or 60 times per post. Also probably posting about 80 times for links. I tried the button in my inbox where you could fight it being banned and that was of no hope. Then I tried making a different account then they banned me for using multiples.

ccunning ,

For me personally comments are whatever. The problem is posts. With posts we’re still pretty small here so there’s not a lot of content but the content and engagement are fairly balanced. If you’re posting a ton it may end up spreading the engagement thin. I personally might block someone who’s posting 80 posts a day.

Don_Dickle OP ,

But what if it was about different shit and in different communities.

ccunning , (edited )

The problem is because of the small size I personally browse the “Local” feed by “New”which gives me every post to every community on Lemmy.world

ETA To be clear; I’m still talking about blocking; not banning.

Also, I did see at least one community had a soft limit on how much was reasonable to post a day, but I forget which one it was 🤔

Don_Dickle OP ,

Exact same thing I do . Glad to know another person is like me.

sunzu ,

Bro post all you want... You are NOT getting banned for it here.

We need traffic and engagement to take this bitch to the next level.

    GBU_28 OP , to meanwhileongrad in Group review of my new lemmy.ml ban

    Not that I’m heartbroken for the exchange, it’s just I now have this big crater in my modlog making it look like I’m a spammer or something.

    hperrin , to android in [Q] do all premium headsets Samsung/Bose/Sony have “okay Google” wake-word for hands free assistant?

    I use an Anker Soundcore, and it doesn’t. Not exactly premium, but I like it.

    remotelove , to meanwhileongrad in Group review of my new lemmy.ml ban

    It’s ml. I was banned from a few communities for calling Putin the new Hitler and I still have no idea what their problem was.

    ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    GBU_28 OP ,

    Do you think my comment is bigoted? Checking myself here.

    remotelove ,

    By definition, yes*. In reality, it fits a larger consensus and I personally don’t think it’s a big deal.

    At the end of the day, mods do what they want. On ml specifically, they tend to have their own distinct narratives they follow and may kick-ban any dissent.

    Posting on some ml communities can be interesting if you aren’t up-to-date with the meta.

    • You could be unreasonably attached to a belief from the viewpoints of others. It’s subjective.
    GBU_28 OP ,

    Can you clarify?

    I’m guessing suggesting hamas is a terrorist organization is the thing? Is it a false statement?

    My understanding is they use violence and intimidation to further political goals, but are they themselves not a standing state with a military.

    I think I made my position clear that I do not support Israel, as they are committing genocide, but I guess someone could assume Hamas IS Palestine? It’s my understanding that’s not the case, instead that they are IN Palestine among the innocent civilians.

    (Not arguing with you, just discussing. If you have counterpoints I’m ready to hear them)

    remotelove ,

    I get what you are asking and I am going to avoid the specific topic you were discussing (as much as I can) in the interest of objectivity.

    ml tends to be a safe-space for some people who have wildly different opinions than what “many people” tend to believe is true. It automatically sets up a comment that would be “normal” on this instance as “hostile” on another.

    Some countries do have diplomatic ties with Hamas and do not consider them a terrorist organization. If I had to guess, that is the reason for the underlying issue. If a person happens to relate with that viewpoint, any comment to the contrary may be considered hostile.

    This sounds trite, but the phrase “Read the room” might apply.

    GBU_28 OP ,

    Totally. The mod in particular is pretty aggressive so I’m not surprised really. I figured I covered myself by pointing out Israel is indeed commiting genocide but alas.

    Have a good one.

    GBU_28 OP , to meanwhileongrad in Group review of my new lemmy.ml ban

    Not sure if the post text is showing up. What do y’all think? They say rule one but I don’t think I broke that.

    Fiivemacs , to meanwhileongrad in Group review of my new lemmy.ml ban

    Settle down, okay?

    GBU_28 OP ,

    ? The comment was on topic for the post, which was about Kamala not supporting Palestinian protestors.

    Moobythegoldensock , to nostupidquestions in Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time.

    How much were you posting that they thought you were a bot on sheer quantity? Or is there more to the story?

    @str82L@lemmy.world avatar

    If Bose does I’m unaware of it. Then again I never turn that kind of function on if I am aware of it.

    My Bose nc700 headphones have a button for Google assistant.

    avidamoeba , to selfhosted in OS recommendations
    @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

    Definitely use ZFS for the data volumes in order to avoid silent data corruption. If you don’t use separate drive for the OS, then you need to look into ZFS on root.
