New Ohio bill would create state registry of applicants who skip job interviews in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

This would make a great website. Match job listings with this type of data. Get all job applicants on there and then set strict criteria for companies to post jobs on there. Enshitify the entire process for the companies and make them beg to have their ads shown.

You can buy books by the truckload for almost nothing because nobody wants them.

I'm still using YouTube with smarttube or whatever it's called now and vanced. They have adblocking and sponsor block so I don't get shitty ads and I can still pick who I watch. I did go and download a bunch of kids videos since someone watches the same show all the time and now just use jelyfin for that.

Apps can collect all your data from your phone whereas a website doesn't have access to your GPS location, etc necessarily.

Dull mens car meet where we just meet up to share the various cans and tubes of lubricant we bought and can never use up. You'd probably still have 80% left.

A community for discussion of selling on various online platforms. (lemmy.world)
 

!flipping@lemmy.world

Discuss selling on different platforms like eBay, marketplace, Craigslist, Mercari, etc.

No, you don't have to be in the "hustle and grind" mindset. You can be a casual reseller, or just learn the ins and outs in order to get the best outcome from selling your own personal items. I've been casually selling on eBay for 22 years and am happy to answer questions.

I created an instance for a specific community (lemmy.world)
 

I created !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world a few months ago and then started seeing contraversies around moderation policies and federation that just don't apply to the type of content on dull mens club so I decided to make an instance solely to host that community.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

I'm not sure if this has happened yet, but I like the idea of having a neutral instance that users can still visit regardless of what happens. There's no user signups, only admin/moderator accounts. Users have to use an account from a federated instance.

I created !dullsters@dullsters.net (lemmy.world)
 

I created the popular !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world several months ago.

In the interest of decentralization, I decided to create an independent instance.

!dullsters@dullsters.net

The dull mens club community will stay active, but please visit us at the new one.

I created a Lemmy instance and the future of this community. (lemmy.world)
 

I've created a new Lemmy instance at dullsters.net

When I created this community several months ago I had no aspirations of it becoming much of anything. In a short amount of time it has grown to over 1500 subscribers and is one of the top recommended non-political communities. I am always looking forward to the posts that are shared here, and the unique culture being developed.

I see the importance of the decentralized aspect of the Fediverse. We frequently see drama surrounding moderation and federation policies. None of that applies to the content in this community.

I have no qualms with admins running their site the way they want to and they are often placed in difficult positions. However, this is one of the true places of neutrality on the Fediverse and it should remain that way.

In the few months this community has existed there have been maybe a half dozen moderation actions taken. You have remained, for the most part, very dull, and I thank you for that.

The name of the community should be changed, I hadn't realized that dull men's club was the result of someone else's ideas and work. The new name should represent this community that you all have created and the place it exists, The Fediverse.

The new instance won't have any users except for the purpose of moderation, you will still use your account from a federated instance. I'm still ironing out a few wrinkles with the site, it should be done whenever I get around to it.

In the meantime suggestions for the new name should be made in a top level comment so that they can be voted on.

Thank you all once again for making this community what it is.

The dullest day is upon us. (lemmy.world)
 

Tomorrow (Saturday) will be the December Solstice. The "shortest" day in the northern hemisphere and "longest" day in the southern hemisphere. Although it will be the day with the least amount of light for many of you, it means that each day after will be brighter. For others each day will be shorter, and thus duller. For places near the equator the change will be negligible throughout the year. Of course if you live near either of Earth's poles you will need to wait a few months to see the change.

I wish you all a very dull and uneventful day.
