Timberborn is my drug of choice right now. But every few months I have a No Man's Sky relapse.

To clarify: Mierda is Spanish, merda is Portuguese.

I assume OP was aiming to make a pun with "midas touch", which could work in Spanish but is not relevant in this case.

Is he? The article doesn't say. Do you have a source for that statement?

Not at first. They'll undercut teacher salaries until there are no teachers left to fall back on, and then they'll charge as much as they want.

Wouldn't it be best to legalize it altogether then? Who benefits from decriminalization?

Could you explain the semantic difference for me?

[–] DisguisedJoker@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Perhaps there is a difference in listing a service in some sort of index, like the phone book, versus techniques intended to develop a need (or want) where there wasn't one otherwise, like an iPod commercial.

Indeed and LinkedIn is also where I'm mostly looking. I do find posts for which I'm well suited and phone screenings that suggest I'm a strong candidate; but somehow that never seems to translate to interviews 😩. It's a far cry from the last time I was in the market some 7 years ago when I could get multiple offers within a month or two of search.

I agree, it's not looking good for tech

Funny, I'm in a similar but reversed situation. 10+ years of experience, no job for two years, but my stack is C# and .Net and I keep seeing an abundance of ads looking for Node and React 🤔

I can add that the same is true for south America and Japan. I don't have an explanation for it, but the quality and taste is consistently worse in the USA compared to my experiences elsewhere. Incidentally, KFC is almost inedible in the USA, but quite good in Japan for example. Maybe it's related.
