    Imagine you got 3 job offers … the interviewer wants to know why his company is the one you’d choose

    Because you expressed interest in hiring me? And I need a job? So I’m here? I’d also be perfectly content picking the other 2 companies if it’s the same salary.

    What caught your eye about this job posting?

    The fact that you guys said you were hiring?

    they’d prefer someone who is interested

    I guess this is the real problem. I don’t care about your company. I’m here to exchange my time for money. I have my own interests and they don’t involve working at your company.

    But, yes fine. I understand this is the game I have to play. I will lie to you and tell you that it’s been my dream since I was a little kid to work at your dumb company, selling shit that no one needs or tricking people into giving you money.

    One company that asked me this made… let’s say IoT flower pots (something mundane like that)… I guess I’m supposed to say: OMG! I. LOVE. CONNECTED. FLOWER. POTS! How did humanity survive without internet connected flower pots??! My sole purpose in life is to help make IoT flower pots. Please allow me to join you guys! 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

    Is it not possible to have something like this?

    • Job: We need someone who can build IoT flower pots.
    • Me: Yep, give me enough money and I’ll do it.
    • Job: OK.

    means you are now uninformed and unable to stop it from sucking

    This seems better than being informed and unable to stop it from sucking, which was what I was doing previously.

    closing down your visibility to, for example, news and politics that are negative puts you in a bad place to vote

    I mean, I kiiinda agree, but not totally. I definitely do vote. I usually block out a few days to research candidates and propositions before filling out my ballot. So I am making an informed vote.

    However, I don’t see how getting a play-by-play of the world falling apart is helpful. I get the summary when it’s time to vote, then I put it away. I can’t stop Trump from doing stupid shit. I can’t stop the war in Ukraine. I can’t stop Elon from befriending Nazis.

    put on your big girl panties and let’s get past the worldwide push for authoritarian take overs

    How?? All I can do is vote in my own country. And I did that. I’ve tried talking to friends and family, but I have yet to convince a Trumper of anything. They don’t care about reality. It doesn’t matter if I have all my facts straight. They don’t want to listen.

    I can donate to Ukraine for the war, donate to orgs suing the government, or go to a protest, but all of that seems orthogonal to watching daily/weekly news.

    It seems like being “informed” is just a way to “feel” like you’re doing something? Am I missing something here? I don’t get it.

    Create a new repo locally.

    git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

    Then to create a new remote repo, you can do this.

    git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~user/my-new-repo
git push origin main

    You’ll get a message that says.

    remote: 
remote:         NOTICE
remote: 
remote:         You have pushed to a repository which did not exist. ~user/my-new-repo
remote:         has been created automatically. You can re-configure or delete this
