To the HR and recruiting professionals or anyone familiar, do background checks of potential employees usually rely on profiles data brokers have compiled on them?
  • We check criminal records from local and national databases as well as your driving record. Because my industry is working with kids, we're really just checking to make sure you don't have any child abuse or neglect on your record.

    Other industries, I'm sure, are looking for different things based on what they're hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don't oversee that area.

  • Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined
  • The group used "sophisticated computer scripts" and software to scour piracy services... for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers.

    So they used some variant of Sick Beard?

  • Teenagers still doing cinnamon challenge
  • Why does this cat look like it's singing along to “Chop Suey!” by System of A Down?

  • Please submit within three business days
  • We're calling out Comic Sans, but not Papyrus?

  • Today's date is Dozen/Half Dozen/Two Dozen
  • This is what shower thoughts should be! Thank you!

  • Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
  • KineStop - After Apple announcef Motion Cues, I went looking on Android because I cannot use my devices in a moving vehicle. KineStop is all I found. I went ahead and bought it because it helps (doesn't completely get rid of motion sickness). I would gladly switch to an open source alternative if one were available.

  • President Biden is the First President Elected From The Silent Generation
  • Your fact that those three were all born the same year is what I'm finding interesting.

  • How often do I actually need my heat pump system tuned up?
  • If you are set on not having someone look at it, at least take a look at your condensation line. It will be a PVC pipe coming off your inside unit and going to a drain. It probaby also has a u-shaped trap so that it can operate under negative pressure.

    The issue is that algae can build up over time and cause water to back up and drain in places you don't want. A service person doing a tune up would take of this task... But at a price higher than what you'd want to pay.

  • Mike Flanagan Says Netflix Was "Actively Hostile" Towards the Idea of Releasing Physical Media: "It Became Clear Very Fast That Their Only Priority Was Subs"
  • Even though my wife subscribes to Netflix, I would buy Midnight Mass on Blu-ray. They are missing out on taking our money twice.

  • Protect yourself friends.
  • I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn't be bothered to use 7zip.

  • The end is nigh
  • Don't forget the Egyptian tablet recording work absences from 1250 BCE. Not much has changed.

  • Is Jitsi Meet a good software?
  • Presently, on meet.jit.si, only the moderator needs to be logged in. Everyone else can just join the meeting with no need to log in.

    But that's just the one that Jitsi runs. The Guardian Project has a Jitsi Monitor that can point you to some other Jitsi instances.

    Not unlike Lemmy. If you don't like the way things are run on one server, check a different one.

  • Absolute Trigger Rule
  • I worked with a woman who'd just gotten off meth. She swore that she got sick more often while clean because... meth was made out of cold medicine.

  • Should I add any other repo?
  • It depends on the app publisher. The official F-Droid repo has Newpipe version 25.2, which was added August 10, 2023. The Newpipe upstream repo has version 26.1, added December 27, 2023.

  • Should I add any other repo?
  • There are general purpose repos and specific app repos. Those for specific apps might allow you to download apps not found elsewhere or they might just get you the update a little faster.

    I have the repos for Collabora and Newpipe enabled on mine for those reasons.

    You might also look at Obtanium if you're looking to keep specific apps updated.

  • On Ash Wednesday many people look like they have an Iron Cross on their forehead. That's a bad look.
  • Maybe that's why the Bible reading for Ash Wednesday services has Jesus telling people to put oil on their heads and wash their faces so that their fasting may be seen not by others.

  • What part of the country are you in? You mention being in an at-will state, so I assume the US. Maybe the Lemmyverse can help you find a job?

  • Discovery returns to screens April 4th
  • If nothing else, this shows that Paramount does not understand us. They're dropping this a day before a Trek holiday, and no mention of first contact at all.

  • Sonic Shower Thought: Someone has probably used holodeck technology to feel like they're pooping at home.

    I know people who only poop at home. I can't imagine being out in space for years. With holodeck technology... Someone is bound to have written a program that simulated their bathroom at home.
