From my experience, this is not the case. Layoffs in the US (especially those in tech) are quite secret and quite sudden, which means the decision of whom to lay off is typically done at a sufficiently high level where they’re generally clueless about individual performance.

I actually found that I really like the “hot” scrolling so much better. On Reddit, everything I came across had ~hundreds of comments and everything was multiple hours old. I didn’t feel like I could contribute at all. But here… it feels a lot smaller, and most of the “hot” posts are not rubbish, so I feel like I can actually contribute!

Entertainment@beehaw.org•‘The Marvels’ Meltdown: Disney MCU Posts Lowest B.O. Opening Ever At $47M — What Went Wrong
21·2 years agoI used to love all the Marvel movies. and then I started watching one film and couldn’t tell if I’d seen it already and didn’t want to watch it if I hadn’t… and then realised they’re basically just identical stories player by different characters.
no reason to hit up the opening weekend if you’re just going to watch a rerun.

Android@lemmy.world•Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?English
121·2 years agoI used to think the same thing: first three results or so are always ads, so just ignore. And then recently they’ve changed to be 90% ads even after the initial few. It’s hard to find something that someone hasn’t paid to display :(

Woodworking@lemmy.ca•Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend.

Technology@lemmy.world•X rolls out new ad format that can't be reported, blockedEnglish
27·3 years ago“can’t [yet] be blocked” This is the claim of every new advertiser platform. Looking forward to it being blocked (and not because I’m on X, just because I’m excited to see them burn).


I don’t get this at all. Isn’t your fridge much smaller than your counter space?
