checkout out the treball channel on youtube; they did an entire one hour episode on the differences. tldr: they're all extremely minor and there's lots of them.

it's selective; they didn't charge anything for keeping chelsea manning out of their fellowship

i always felt that one of the awesome things about the show was how ftl was considered antiquated technology and that, besides the military, only the older and the nicer ships had them; while the newer and much more common average ships didn't

something about a society that is both capable of traveling through the stars and has collectively forgotten where it had originated from in the galaxy; but widely considers both unimportant is super fascinating to me.

Holy fuck Culber… Hot damn.

i almost ran into the actor in new york back in 2008 on my bike while crossing the roosevelt bridge because he was shirtless and i was too busy staring at his very prominent pecs to watch where i was going; so agreed, he could definitely get it. lol

i think he looked back at me too; but i suspect it was to wonder wtf was wrong with the fat guy on the bike. lol

i started using kde once personal computers became beefy enough to handle it well around 2002 but switched to gnome because gnome felt more polished at the time and i recently switched back and, you're right, the customize-ability is impressive after using gnome for the last 15-ish years.

it's also daunting/frustrating at times too.

so I wonder how those people manage to get jobs lol.

the recruiter that told me about the college check told me that his company auto rejects if the applicant says they did go to college, but didn't.

and he worked for one of the largest retailers in this country for literally decades, so i bet he ran into a LOT of false negatives.

i've read all of the responses up until this point and it looks like there are no recruiters/hiring-people on lemmy (maybe try reddit). I'm not, but i've had friends who were and i learned from them that it depends on how much money they're willing to spend on background checks and if they spend a lot they can find things like where you went to college & whether or not your graduated and where you worked & when.

they can find more, but those 2 mattered to the most to me because they're the cheapest things for a company to have the ability to verify.

in the fall of 2002 the windows millennium installation on my computer broke, trapping an entire semester's worth of work on the hard drive and i was a starving college student with less than $20 to my name, so i couldn't afford to buy windows xp and didn't know anyone where i could get a pirate copy from.

i bought a mandrake linux cd pack for $8 from circuit city and used google in the computer laboratory to learn how to mount the hard drive, install drivers for ntfs and copy my all my work to a usb drive and i've been using linux ever since. i switch to 100% only linux both professionally and personally sometime around 2010.
