I don’t use any meta software and I haven’t heard anything about this. So clearly something is working. I will read this. Thanks for sharing!

I cannot even begin to fathom how bad Haiti’s situation is. But, I did not think police still exist there.

I hope Haiti can fight back and get some stability.

I’ve been sick since mid January. I really, really miss the gym. Lifting heavy shit or going for a run is so important for my mental health. And without it, I feel like I’m losing my grip on reality.

I went to school with many SFS students. While the people I know are no longer probationary, any new SFS hires are. These people are some of the brightest people I’ve met. And including other new hires, yes this is devastating.

You could get the malware vaccine. Just make sure to ask your doctor if it’s right for you.

Have you had success with other certs in the past?

I know some people have poor test taking skills, which can make these tests harder. A old friend of mine took 3 tries to get CISSP.

If you’ve had success in the past, then maybe these exams are just giving you issues. But you mentioned attention/focus issues.

If your ADHD isn’t treated, first step is to go see a dr. Then you should be able to attend all the classes without skipping.

You could just not be a great test taker because of . Getting your mental health treated and being stable will help you with keeping focus during the test too.

You also need to understand that many of these cert exams ask questions and expect specific answers solely based on the materials taught. This means you must forget any of your other experiences and knowledge when takes these tests.

Certifications are like gate keeping. Some are more difficult so they keep “prestige” because the less people that can earn it means it carries more weight. Usually the marketing is something like “get this cert so you can prove x amount of knowledge”. And that’s not really the mindset you need going into the test - that’s just marketing.

This is basically a forum. So, people will comment on their experiences.

I can give you a response on both sides, me as a candidate and me as an interviewer.

The link does not say anything about AI, nor does it give an option to submit a complaint about AI. I also cannot find the quote you posted. Not saying I don’t believe you, but did your quote come from a different page? Or did you link the wrong page?

As an aside, this is probably best posted to a privacy community or a healthcare community.

I really, truly, dislike this timeline.

Having work spaces that are inclusive of all, will draw all types of people to work there. And those work spaces are so, so much better off from the diversity.

Where I work is not perfect, but we have many different people there. And it is awesome working in these diverse groups. You really start to understand each other and come to better decisions to complete the tasks.

It is very difficult to motivate people to move to a different platform.

Meta continues to do shitty things. I deleted all my accounts 10 years ago because of said shitty things. The list of shitty things keeps growing.

I can try to be optimistic about the Streisand effect. But it would have to be towards positive experience with pixelfed. Enough people would need to move for it to not feel empty. Sort of like BlueSky during the election. Enough people frustrated with twitter, and (most importantly) see enough people, including celebrities, politicians and other influencers migrate to make it worth checking out.

Edit to add: I very much would love to witness the downfall of meta and twitter. We need these alternatives. And as much as people hate commercialization, all of these alternative spaces need some marketing to make them viable.

This is spot on. And honestly, public service workers make so little compared to industry, it really doesn’t matter if they’re from a wealthy family or not - if they (public workers) have student loans, the forgiveness is deserved.

10 years can be difficult to get. I’ve known people who work for non-profits for 5 years or more, only to be let go because grant money was drying up.

Yooooooo! I love that. I’ll admit, if Subaru releases a “Baja” like car again, I’d be the first one to buy it.

I’m confident to make the claim that the NBA only cares about money.

There’s plenty rotten about UAE that doesn’t include this topic to ethically not do business there.

This is one of the reasons I donate to The Satanic Temple. I really hope they pursue something like needing to display all religious texts in classrooms like their tenets.

It does make sense. China can monitor the account for intel to squash any non-desirable gatherings.

Agreed! It blocks ads and malware while costing advertisers a ton. I’d love to see this go more mainstream and see all the panic by costing advertisers money without having people buy anything.
