OpenHammer6677@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Job application or high school test?English421·6 months agoShit like this just screams “bad company” to an applicant. Especially since some companies are always hiring because of tax breaks and other shady benefits, not because of actual openings. Such a waste.

But in the before times, no one had social media. Nowadays everyone has it and is almost a necessity for a musician to get their voice and music out there. You’re losing out if you don’t have a “portfolio” through your socmed accounts.

OpenHammer6677@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Meta now allows military agencies to access its AI software. It poses a moral dilemma for everybody who uses itEnglish283·8 months agoI hate to say it and sound like I’m defending them, but here we go.
As a gigging musician in the Philippines, Meta apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger are some of the most important social media platforms to promote my work and to connect to potential clients.
I hate Meta and I hate that I have no choice on the Meta AI shit they’ve rolled out. But worse of all, I hate that I have no choice but to use Meta for my livelihood. There’s just no alternative.

OpenHammer6677@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•TV host Willie Revillame files certificate of candidacy for upcoming Philippine elections.English3·9 months agoOhhh boy and he’s not the only celebrity to do it. Out here, politics is unfortunately a realistic career path for famous people especially those who are fading out of the spotlight.
What worries me is that the influx of celebrities and influencers entering politics will drown out the legitimate ones especially the ones from the labor and indigenous sector.
It’s really a shame

Option? More like a chance to opt out. Option means users get to choose to opt in.
This type of thing shouldn’t be legal. I just learned of LinkedIn doing the same thing with user content and an “opt out” setting, and I immediately toggled it off. FFS someone regulate these idiots
