A new survey found that almost 40% of companies posted a fake job listing this year (2024)
  • The reasons are the worst:

    • Companies said they are posting fake jobs for a laundry list of reasons, including to deceive their own employees.

    • More than 60% of those surveyed said they posted fake jobs “to make employees believe their workload would be alleviated by new workers.”

    • Sixty-two percent of companies said another reason for the shady practice is to “have employees feel replaceable.”

    • Two-thirds of companies cited a desire to “appear the company is open to external talent” and 59% said it was an effort to “collect resumes and keep them on file for a later date.”

    • What’s even more concerning about the results: 85% of companies engaging in the practice said they interviewed candidates for the fake jobs."

  • It's true, believe me! 😂

    But seriously, you can try it too. Download the LLaMA 3 model using the Ollama program. I am using Open WebUI as a frontend. I got this answer most of the times I asked.

    edit: Wow, you are right, there's a spelling error in that answer. Rare event, I don't see this every day.

  • Mystery as Russian judge dies after falling from window
  • Llama 3 explanation:

    Why do Russians keep falling out of Windows?

    I think there may be some misinformation or stereotypes at play here!

    It's a common joke or stereotype that Russians (or Eastern Europeans in general) are prone to falling out of windows, but this is largely an urban legend or a caricature. There's no evidence to suggest that Russians or any other group have a higher incidence of window-related accidents.

    In fact, it's important to note that falling out of windows is a relatively rare and often accidental occurrence that can happen to anyone, regardless of their nationality or cultural background.

    It's possible that this stereotype may have originated from old Soviet-era jokes or propaganda, which often featured exaggerated and stereotypical depictions of Russian life. Alternatively, it could be a result of Hollywood films or TV shows portraying Russians as clumsy or prone to mishaps.

    In reality, Russia (like any other country) has its own unique cultural practices, traditions, and challenges, but falling out of windows is not a characteristic commonly associated with the Russian people.

    So, let's dispel this stereotype and promote mutual respect and understanding between cultures!

  • Pop!_OS or Manjaro for Steam games?

    Context, I use Linux, usually. I have been a user of Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora for a few years.

    Recently, I acquired a decent graphics card (GeForce RTX 4070) and, for others reasons, decided to uninstall my Windows and install Linux.

    I saw that Pop!_OS already has an image with everything pre-configured from Nvidia. Is this pre-configuration worth it, are the games more stable on this distribution, or is it the same as installing Nvidia's proprietary drivers on Manjaro?

    I asked this same question on other communities, but only now I found a specific community for gaming on Linux. Thanks.

  • I am receiving reports that this comic is racist. Correct me if I am wrong. Although the story itself depicts an extremely racist and violent event, it seems more like a protest against the racism that was the norm in society at the time.

    The new girl
  • I spent two full minutes trying to understand why people were interpreting this comic strip as something related to gender identity.

    It’s my fault. I slightly broke one of the community rules that stipulates stories must be complete. I thought this segment of the comic told a complete story on its own, but the lack of context led to this misunderstanding, and I apologize for that.

    Indeed, the story continues, and I was hoping that some people would visit the author's website to read the entire arc of this story. To clarify once and for all, and already giving a spoiler, the blonde woman who appears in the story is the CEO of the company, and for that reason she did not appear in the listing of regular employees.
