Depends. If you’re looking to work somewhere that has a public image, social media is likely to be a factor. Anything involving safety or serious liability will need drug screenings. Outside of that, it depends on how much the company is willing to pay for screenings. They have to pay for them for candidates, and they’re not cheap. I’ve done work in background check software and can tell you costs range from the low hundreds to sometimes over a thousand bucks per candidate, particularly if a candidate has gone by a lot of names and lived in a lot of places. You end up with a big combinatorial of identities to do criminal records requests for from different jurisdictions across the country. Some jurisdictions require a phone call to request records, and I can think of at least one where someone has to literally go pick up documents from a courthouse in person. On top of that, some drug panels are quite expensive. Social media review usually takes a lot of a real person’s time to go through; hard to automate if you want to be thorough beyond just pointing at a Facebook profile to scrape and feed through an LLM, and some kinds of posts are relevant to some employers vs others.

If you’re concerned, 7 years is the industry norm for how far back they consider your past unless it’s for like a professional certification or degree.

Cremate everyone, stop wasting land that could be used for another mcdonalds on corpses.

Problem solved

Yeah but it’s easy when both parents already had the same last name 🪕

At least with UDP we can avoid further doubling the stream transmission bandwidth cost, since it won’t expect acks and possible retransmissions. Great explanation!

It helps mask frame drops when turning or moving fast if the game is particularly demanding.

People talk about filter bubbles, but there’s a nuance here: on Lemmy, you’re not being served up whatever the platform owners think you should see from an opaque algorithm. You’re going to, by default, see cesspool content. You have to choose to block it.

I don’t think the new strategy of injecting ads directly into the video stream can be defeated in realtime though. It’s like how you cannot defeat tv ads…you can blank the screen, or record and restitch without the ads, but the content itself has the ad. YouTube is a bit different where you can theoretically skip ahead, but your device has to tell Youtube that it wants to skip ahead in order to actually even get the video content, and youtube can look at request timestamps to know you didn’t see the whole injected ad and just re-inject it in the video stream.

I should get paid a lot less for typing on a keyboard all day, but oh well.

It doesn’t pass judgment. It just knows what “looks” correct. You need a trained person to discern that. It’s like describing symptoms to WebMD. If you had a junior doctor using WebMD, how comfortable would you be with their assessment?

Boost allows you filter keywords. It’s not a highlight option, but it’s a couple taps to paste the text you want to exclude.

They know that loss increases with self checkout. They just did the math and figured it’s less than the cost of hiring all the extra cashiers.

Typing long form stuff on a smartphone sucks

It was actually pretty good. I remember having to pass an ingame training course to use the medic class. I still vaguely remember how to apply a tourniquet lol

Creepy guy got fired. Showed up the next day and confronted HR. Idk what went down but they had to call the cops.

Loved that book
