Ah man, it would be hilarious if it’s just copilot not being able to connect to ms and it getting stuck there.
For a tool that’s designed to do exactly one thing, it’s astonishingly bad at it.
That’s one of the things broken in the US education system. In Finland the most expensive textbook I’ve bought was around 35€ I think. Now in my 2 years in university I’ve paid a grand total of 0 on books.
Swede here, this change takes place in the early school years, not university.
I never had to pay for any textbook in school, apart from when I attended trade school to learn IT.
All textbooks used in year 1 through 12 was issued on loan to the student, and didn’t cost anything apart from when I had to replace one I missplaced.
Thank you very much. Yet another instance of very constructive feedback. This is the #Fediverse at its best.
I did spend some thoughts on the name.
1. It should not clash with the big existing professional network(s).
2. The name should convey, what it is.
3. It should be reasonably catchy.
Of course I'm happy to read other, maybe better options.
In the beginning we can't rely on companies, or recruiters to post jobs on a fediverse system. Most of them don't even know of it at all. So we'll use job scrapers. You will be able to set up a scraper for jobs you might be interested in, and other do similar. Then you see your, and their results, and vice versa.
The architecture does allow for recruiters, or companies to feed in their own job descriptions directly, but we can't start with only that.

I don'^t think, it would be reasonable to make that a paid feature, because I'm working on an open protocol. But actually I did think in a similar direction:
1. Have them pay for company-accounts on my installation of the system. They are free to set up their own instance, and others can also set up one, and sell accounts.
2. Help providers of their software to integrate with our architecture. If they use ProFed code directly, they have to accept the AGPL.

The talk about events on my website seems to be confusing. I have to change that. Those events are internal. I use an event sourced architecture, where in a simple installation all producers, and consumer of the event run in the same process. But it can be split e.g. to different Kubernetes pods for bigger installations as well.
I don't have any particularly specific plans on professional insights. My current idea is to rely on groups for that. Do you have any better ideas?
Thank you very much for your feedback. I'll answer them in each post to keep the context.
Those two are in the list already. I've extended Person with a CV, that is not the same, but adjacent to the h-resume microformat.
For jobs I plan to start with a scraper, that feeds a federated search engine, whose result is not immediate, but a feed. That way, I can avoid some of the complexities of federated search. But it is still not trivial.
I don’t believe there’s any computer museum in lndia 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Hmmh. I mean India has A LOT of IT skill. It’s wild there isn’t a single computer museum in the entire country?! Maybe we should all support https://computermuseum.in/
I mean I (here in Germany) can hop on a train and there’s a big one within my reach. And another smaller one about computer games.
Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!
This looks like so much fun. The commentator’s sheer joy is infectious.
Basically how people in lemmy communities call me a bot account and a troll😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
/etc/profile also needs root to edit. I agree that there should be a config file in a standard location, my issue is that using $(your local shell config) is barely a standard.
For this purpose PAM’s /etc/environment works great in the global context, but there’s no PAM equivalent for each user.
Systemd has global and per user environment stuff, but last I checked this only worked for systemd services
After Amazon, Oracle is now in the bulls-eye.
Great idea. Let’s see more that!
In fact, I know a few more datacenters that we could do without
