It just seems like really sarcastic trolling to me.

This is starting to make sysadmins sound like John Wick.

"And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his 3d printers and smash his fcking Apple 1."
"The sysadmin will come for you, and you will do nothing because you can do nothing,"

Terminator.

I use the broadcast, zoom, grouping, and the guake/yakuake style dropdown. Also it has layout switching like xmonad, ie you can ctrl + space to cycle pane layouts.

I've used Firefox for years. It's always been the underdog imo.

If it ever becomes the top dog, I'll switch! To the next privacy underdog. More competition is good.

It's worse than that, it's Threads, Jim!

Oh I see how it is. You're like the Leonardo DiCaprio of chicken sandwiches.

False. We love all chicken sandwiches regardless of how old they are.

There are people out there who sound a lot like SJ and you could probably clone their voice a lot cheaper. I worked with one and it was always uncanny.

Sounds like TRRRRRRS

My stats say my phone gets ~140/day. I definitely ignore 99% of them, just like my 10k+ unread emails.

Sometimes those positions are meant for promoting internal candidates, who obviously sat in, conducting the same interviews in the past. So the difficulty is dialed up to "I am Death incarnate!" levels and they then have scoring data to support their selection of the internal candidate. At a friend's workplace, they'd opened up a 2-3yr exp position to convert a great intern, and had some great 10+yr exp people apply. My friend said that was a little awkward. Even if Mark Russinovich or Linus Torvalds applied for that job, they still had no chance at getting it. I joked that I might put a resume in his manager's pile for the creator of the tech stack they were interviewing for, just to hear how that reaction was.

That's probably not representing even... 5% of these gauntlets, but it might make you feel better. Sometimes, it's the hiring manager fulfilling the letter but not the spirit of some process, but it means they are frustratingly hard on candidates in the process.

And perhaps, ultimately, you have dodged some bullets.

Even home warranties won't defray much cost, or often have combined limits for annual reimbursement that are lower than you would imagine.
