WHO?

… So its just doing what HR/Recruiters do.

Professionally gaslighting people and wasting their time.

Its just that the process is ironically slightly more transparent now.

They’ve been doing this with ‘shadow jobs’ and ‘fake job postings’ for literally years now, last time I saw a survey on it, between a 1/3 and 1/2 of them just said they do this.

You post job openings that you never intend on filling for a wide variety of reasons.

Make the company look better in some kind of internal or external report that considers job postings.

Make it so you can promote somebody internally with a sham external round of interviews but its still ‘competetive’.

Literally just do market research on the labor force itself, gather up a roster, or sell the info to data brokers.

And of course, interview processes that require you essentially do a project for them… before they hire you. And then you do it an aw shucks, almost nailed it, but we went with another candidate.

But there is no other candidate. And your project is now being used by them.

…etc.

"As far as Science is concerned, the cosmos is expanding, the continuum is getting increasingly stretched and star stuff is getting cosmologically apart. Given this is a gradual expansion, this means star stuff gets further and further apart as the cosmic entropy unfolds.

One day, there'll be no more stars in the sky, the Moon will be long divorced from Earth (her orbit is slowly drifting), and even the strongest bonds will be broken. Luckily, the fossil of the last living being would be long scorched from a blazing engulf from the Red Giant Sun; there'll be no more talking minerals conjured by
Homo sapiens to take notes of this happening, and even the spirits and dæemons of the living beings will be long depleted and freed from the cosmic Wheel of Samsara built by Demiurge in a futile attempt to keep star stuff away from The Mother, to whom matter will return no matter the Demiurge's will.

You look at your own body and you forgot to wonder how it's so illusory. This existence is but an illusion, fated to be broken by itself. Alienation and oblivion is a fundamental part of this existence. We're wanderers, getting pulled away from our own wandering even before we get pulled by the cold hands of entropy. Still, we humans "think", driven by our survival instincts, that we are going to last forever. We won't, we can't, we must not. Alienation and oblivion is a fundamental part of this existence."

Three initial hours of drawing compressed to three minutes of timelapse. I lost the fourth hour onwards because my potato phone crashed while I was drawing the final adjustments, so Android didn't save the screen recording. I spent more than four hours doing this drawing, so feedback is appreciated...

How it feels to be alive lately.

by Sarah Andersen

Despite having support for extensions, #Fennec (and I guess #Firefox for Android in general) don't deal with them as nicely as desktop Firefox/Firefox forks.

This notification popped up yesterday, asking for new (quite dubious) permissions on behalf of "extension"... Problem is, there's more than one extension! Which extension is Fennec referring to?!

There's nothing about this update in Fennec extensions screen, there's no
about:extensions in Firefox mobile, there's nothing about this in about:support, I can only do a whack-a-mole game of disabling/uninstalling a random extension until the notification stops appearing.

I initially thought it was a paywall remover I had, and I proceeded to uninstall it, only for the same notification message to appear again today (therefore, it wasn't the extension I suspected).

The new permissions being asked, no matter which extension, feels quite creepy, especially in times of supply chain attacks (when once trustworthy and popular code repositories get hijacked and modified to inject malicious code into potentially millions of user devices; maybe uBO or Ghostery, very popular extensions, got hijacked?). Why would an adblocker, an anti-telemetry or an image extractor (the only extensions I currently have installed in Fennec) require reading my clipboard? I'm not gonna update it, until I find out which extension is requesting this and I proceed to actually read its source code and see with my own eyes what's going on, where exactly within the code the systemwide clipboard API is being used and for what purpose.
When there's a problem X but you can't solve it because you're dealing with problem Y and that requires you fix a problem Z, but then you can't fix that because of X.
