has anyone actually seen anything about how Apple will determine the “EU status” of an account/device/whatever?

notjosh,
@notjosh@social.lol avatar

@mpospese ahah I use several App Stores due to availability restrictions of bank/tax/etc apps. so I’m assuming if it’s account-based, it must have to be tied to Apple ID? dunno

hypothetically, if someone with my exact skills and name was laid off a few months ago, what should they consider as a next role? I’m increasingly disillusioned with our industry, so what are some projects/companies/technologies heading in a better direction?

Is anyone aware of a German mobile carrier which fully supports Apple Watch?

(Congstar don’t, and I can’t work out if it’s a technical limitation and they can’t do it at all or if it’s for market segmentation reasons—they only offer support for on-contract customers.)

@ratkins I’m 99% sure Telekom do (or at least, they did). iirc Congstar didn’t get eSIM for ages after Telekom despite the network, so I suspect this is similar market differentiation tactics

Say I want to acquire citizenship, couldn't I with my 10+ years employed in Germany, C2 German and two German kids get a bye?

Is there some kind of shortcut process for people in my situation?

@alper what kind of shortcut do you have in mind? afaik the only extra paperwork you would need is passing the Einbürgerungstest, which is an an extremely low barrier

There’s a new season of Just Ace coming! If you have any interest at all in the 90s Australian alternative music scene (… whatever that means), do yourself a favour: https://overcast.fm/+9r1YQnWfY

@ratkins I saw it pop up in Overcast and was wondering if you’d heard…then heard the name of the person who did the intro medley :P

I have a cadence sensor on my bike and it didn’t “just work” with watchOS 10/ios 17, do I have to do anything?

@ratkins probably stupid question, but is it actually bluetooth, or just ant+? (all of my shit is ant+, and it makes me sad)

I think I’ve decided I don’t like take home projects for job interviews, even if they pay you. They don’t respect the interviewees time and there’s no communication.

An on-site usually takes like four hours, and after a combination of whiteboarding/coding/discussion, you’re done.

All of these companies doing take-home projects have like a four or five part process where they expect you to spend five to eight hours on each part.

notjosh,
@notjosh@social.lol avatar

@collin eh, I generally refuse them outright unless there’s a clear purpose or criteria. if they agree to an hourly rate I’ll consider it, but generally I propose “save us both the hassle, look at GitHub” to sidestep the issue

notjosh,
@notjosh@social.lol avatar

@collin it’s super hit and miss. but then again, tech hiring has been super broken for ages, so it’s no surprise that this is more of the same

notjosh,
@notjosh@social.lol avatar

@collin (or more constructively: if it’s near to the end of the process to see some specific skills in a candidate, that’s much different to a hiring manager asking for a code sample as a first step. sooo much is the latter)

What happens when wild native bush rats meet cockroaches they’ve never seen before?

@sydneyrats + @finngparker from @Sydney_Uni have the answer:

@theconversationau small request: is it possible to schedule these posts (or merge them?) so our timelines don’t get filled with a dozen posts in a row?

Cycling through the outer parts of and the people living here have no interest in radical changes in the traffic politics of the city.

If you think there is some reasonable appeal possible with them (cough Greens), then I have some magic beans I want to sell you.

@alper I biked on a highway today, and it was some of the smoothest surface I’ve ridden in Berlin. that luxury is wasted on cars :(

I saw some old video earlier than reminded me about NFTs. how quickly they came and went with so little to show for it. are there any “real” (ie non-scam) usages still around, quietly in the background? or was it all grifters after all?
