Unpaid internships = No poors please

It’s ok guys. They forgot to condemn Hamas while they were starving and seeking refuge so it’s ok.

Skill-based hiring is more complex than “traditional” experience/education based hiring but it can work really well for orgs. that really invest in this method of hiring.

And by investing I mean they train and empower their recruiters to spot and assess the skills the business is looking for.

Many businesses talk the talk but don’t set themselves up skills-based hiring.

I think a terrorist like Shamima should be hanging from a rope.

Saying that, as Brit born and raised here, it brings me quite a bit of comfort knowing that I’m a lesser citizen than the natives since my parents are immigrants.

One law for the natives. One law for us foreigner-born cunts. Equal in citizenship? Like fuck we are.

I think this phenomenon can be explained by understanding our frame of reference with respect to time when we’re high.

In normal time (NT), time registers fairly linearly from our perspective. Generally, each second feels about as long as the next and we’re able to measure our mood, emotions, experiences and how long they go on for with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

In high time (HT), time does not flow linearly from our perspective. One second could be as long as the next, or it could be slower. There’s no really way to tell. Even if you deliberately set a timer like I often do, the numbers on the dial don’t really tell the whole story.

And I think this is because you can perceive so much more while high. Those cymbals you don’t hear in when in NT. The way the clouds move in the painting that you don’t notice in NT. The micro expressions on your friend’s faces as you talk that you don’t notice in NT.

You start to perceive all these extra things. Things that have always been there but time forgot to highlight to you, because you were in the wrong sort of time.

So when you’re in the correct time, the HT, I think you start to measure time not in how many seconds flow from one to the next, but by how much you experience from one moment to the next.

Then when you start to think of the moments passing and the minutes passing too, you realise that you actually packed more moments into those minutes than you would have in NT – and if you had to normalise those HT moments with NT moments to make the moments last the same amount of time, what actually ends up happening is that the seconds and minutes end up being longer when translated into a linear time space.

I hope this makes sense, if not, I’ll try and draw it.

Apologies if it’s not entirely obvious mate. But yeah, I was being sarcastic.

But it’s honestly not that far removed from what I’ve heard some people say with a completely straight face.

Normally I’m in a weird place when time feels slower when I become aware of it, but it speeds up too much when I’m doing something which means I’m not paying attention to the time anymore.

Remember folks, if you don’t wholeheartedly support Israel’s indiscriminate killing of Palestinian civilians you’re an anti-Semite.

Those olives were probably feeding Hamas. They obviously had to destroy the enemies supply lines.

As a current iPhone owner the one thing I miss about android is how easy it was to install apps from outside the play store.

Maybe we will get a better web browser one day!

Except that’s not what happened in reality before Google started rolling out their version of RCS.

The carriers implemented their own versions that didn’t weren’t interoperable with each other, and that was for the ones that even bothered with it at all.

And now they have even less incentive to try.

RCS is nice in theory, but no one is serious about implementing the universal profile.

I hope they do it. And I hope It’s bad enough to push users away.

Then I my exit out of the Meta ecosystem will be complete!

And yet, no developer other than Samsung has been granted access to Google’s version of RCS.

I’d love to see a truly standard, rich, secure messaging service, but I’m not convinced what Google is doing here is any better than Apple.

Because Google are trying to get regulators involved when it doesn’t really affect anyone?

Seems like a bad idea on principle

So what’s the idea here? Apple rolls out another extended version of RCS that’s proprietary as well?

The lot of them are fucking idiots. Sunak’s Conservatives don’t have a single redeeming quality.

What did we expect from the nasty party? Of course they support Israel’s right to bomb civilians and starve children.

When you add an individual song or a playlist to your library it will not add the whole album to your library.

If you’d like to add an entire album to your library then you have to manually add the album to your library.

The quickest way to do that if you’ve got a song selected is to select the song in the player view, open up the menu and go to album. Once on the album page you can add it to your library.

Or if you search for the song in the search page, you can long press an individual song or open the submenu and go to album where you can then add the whole album to your library.

Bad candidate experiences suck and Workday is the absolute worst.

In my most recent round of job hunting about six months ago, I had a pretty decent rate of getting a screening call with a recruiter at the company. Maybe around a quarter of applications got me there.

Despite my pretty decent odds of getting a call, it was never worth applying to a company with Workday.

I don’t want to sign up to their shitty candidate portal with another set of login credentials I have to manage.

I don’t want to repeat what I wrote on my CV, because their parsing is abysmal.

I don’t want to have to use a desktop because it doesn’t because feel like working on mobile that day.

I’ve had friends refer me for positions at the companies they work at. I’ve had talent acquisition reach out on LinkedIn, who’ve been professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the role and their company. But in both cases, if they ultimately needed me to create a profile in Workday I’ve told them I’m not interested.

Given how good ATS’ have become about highlighting potential good fit candidates to recruiters - there is no reason candidates should have to input anything other than their CV, basic contact info / screening questions and a cover letter (depending on role). And it should all work smoothly using a mobile device.

I’m sure this is entirely out of Meta’s concern for user privacy and not the looming EU regulations on tracking required to be opt in rather than opt out.
