respectable level of hoarding πŸ…

[–] SitD@lemy.lol 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

My anxiety about giving my ID stems from this dissimilarity with real life: If i go to a career fair, i might need to show a ticket but often there's no need to show anything. This is a career site so their request for data should be at the same level. However they request as much data as an airport, which has much higher requirements to achieve passenger safety.

I guess if they don't fight bots their platform will suffer a lot. But if the ID check is there for this reason, they didn't have to make me pass 30 captchas... I guess the hoops that you have to go through online are just becoming a bit much for my taste.

Thanks for reaching out though, I'll reconsider my stance. I'll also check what a professional association is and which one fits me πŸ˜„

fair point. my hobbies aren't expensive either so i could live a modest life.

however I wouldn't consider my anxiety as relating to a threat model - it's more like this: if i go to a career fair, i might need to show a ticket but often there's no need to show anything. this is a career site so their request for data should be at the same level. however they request as much data as an airport, which has much higher requirements to achieve passenger safety. i really hate that internet users are just fine with these invasive data requirements these days

Thanks for the advice, so far I tried to not use contacts for this but it might be a bit idealistic and unworkable in a time where online platforms are filled with bots and real people are not easy to find πŸ‘

thanks for the tip, also good to hear you're successful with your own style ☺️

 

I know this might come across as a very impractical expectation but I wanted to hear from people who have a fulfilling career and also a sense for privacy: How did you do it?

I've recently had trouble finding a new job in the tech sector. So far I've been doing alright without LinkedIn, just directly applying to companies, but it seems less successful now. So I thought what the hell, might have to do this after all. After I've made an account I got quickly banned for logging in once from a VPN connection. Only way to get unbanned is to give my government ID to them - but that really rubs me the wrong way (so many leaks of IDs recently and all).

I'm remaining banned for the moment, contemplating what impact this might have on my career. It gives me a fair bit of anxiety, considering that my sense of where my boundaries are seems to be deemed unacceptable by the monopoly of international job markets. Should I just give in and send my ID? Am I delusional?

As always, I appreciate the discourse of this wonderfully decentralized community we have here on lemmy! ☺️

you used the int8 quantized leaked version right? i thought the f8 version doesn't run on rdna2

also i wondered if the fsr4 feels like bigger input lag, can you tell?

14 eyes is bullshit and this is also bullshit, yet the populations in Europe stare indifferently like cattle on a farm and do not contest it. it's especially laughable considering the recent push for "sovereignty" in many states...

ehm Canadian winter will make sure the food does not spoil on the way ☺️

😭 would someone think of the children('s idiot parents)

you can pack them on the magisk denylist and then they might work flawlessly.

this has never failed me but i would still not recommend it.

these banks and Google have no hesitation to cut your access to your money one day. they own your way of interacting with the web now and they don't like what you're attempting here

how are there so many low iq comments about other mascot suggestions. rossman is doing something and he got traction. any people eternally caught in argument about details will never get the momentum to do anything. i used to not like clippy just like a lot of people, don't get me wrong, but just focus on the important core idea, and the large exposure that is unique for the current moment and finally gives a glimmer of hope.

Hey y'all, I bought a x4x4x4x4 4 slots M.2 PCIe card foolishly thinking that if it fits in the slot, it would surely work. In the end, I got 2 of the 4 SSDs working on my old AM4 X470 chipset. I'm coming to you for advice what the cheapest way to get to use this would be. I've noticed that a lot of CPUs have a PCIe lane limitation of 28, just short of what I need (I'd like to run the SSDs but also a x16 GPU). I'm not too keen to buy a threadripper setup for this occasion...

Cheers!

HDR Confusion (lemy.lol)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by SitD@lemy.lol to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
 

Hey fellas, could you help me understand a bit more about HDR?

  • I understand that it's an absolute brightness standard, not like the relative levels in SDR
  • But why does it end up washing out colors unless I amplify them in kwin? Is just the brightness absolute in nits, but not the color?
  • Why does my screen block the brightness control in HDR mode but not contrast? And why does the contrast increase the brightness of highlights, instead of just split midtones towards brighter and darker shades?
  • Why is truehdr400 supposed to be better in dark rooms than peak1000 mode?
  • Why is my average emission capped at 270nits, that seems ridiculously low even for normal SDR screens as comparison.

Cheers 😊
