@wlach @davidism Similarly, it is far less likely that I'd be a #magicWormhole contributor (and maintainer!) today if it wasn't for PyCon 2016 (where it was introduced, and I met Brian Warner for the first time).

Nice to see some old software gain a maintainer :)

@mistersql If it's very small (or white-on-white) would a human actually notice? Are pre-scanning systems smart enough to look at the meta like "text colour"?

(Have you tried, and had HR notice?)

@itamarst Yeah, that's basically what I'm interested in.

I find it interesting that page contextualizes it as "recruiters probably won’t notice you are cheating the system"

I would absolutely not call this "cheating" -- quite the opposite, it's one tiny way to maybe reject some of the bad uses of "AI".

@bamboombibbitybop @ghorwood You of course can buy linux laptops (just not at Best Buy, which yes would be great).

This is what I recommend to (non-tech) people who ask me about getting into linux, and it has gone well for the two people who did actually do it.

@bamboombibbitybop @ghorwood The two I have personal experience with: System76 (for more budget-conscious) or Purism / Librem (if you'd be looking at a macbook air or similar).

Both come with Debian-derived custom OSes, and IME have a pretty good "first use" experience (especially the Librem, which has full-disk encryption out of the box).

@bamboombibbitybop @ghorwood I don't mean to exclude others, there are lots of options these days which is nice! (e.g. Framework looks interesting for "somewhat technical, but not Linux" people).
