Kinda difficult to do when you’re autistic but yeah. I have gotten a few interviews at least but no job offers.

I graduated college last year and I’m still in unemployment hell. I have a CS degree so now I’m too overqualified for retail and too underqualified for tech jobs, despite the fact that I have made numerous projects and have tried my best to upskill, I’m still not good enough apparently. It is super frustrating and demotivating to wake up to rejection emails month after month after month.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Thoughts on putting down elderly pets?English
16·2 months agoMy nearly 13 year old beagle was put down last week. I didn’t want to put him down and I cried for a long time both before and after. He had Cushing’s disease and he got to the point where he could no longer walk or stand. He stopped being interested in food and he stopped responding to his name and things happening around him.
If we didn’t put him down I don’t think he would have lived much longer and he probably would have died in pain. When dogs are euthanized they give them a sedative and he looked extremely peaceful before he passed away.
The way I see it is that everything has an end. It’s just a part of existence that you have to accept. While I am extremely sad that he passed away, I am also extremely happy that he existed and that he was my dog.

5·3 months agoThat’s is really cool. There were a lot of Windows fanboys at my college unfortunately.

28·3 months agoI used a Windows VM when I was in college. Even if you are pursuing a computer science degree, yes, some professors assume/expect that everyone will be using Windows. Using a VM also has the added benefit of you being easily able to get rid of all the programs they made you install as well once the semester is over.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Being a 22-year-old virgin or being 22 and never having been in a relationship is something to be shameful about.English
1·4 months agoDawg, I’m autistic and I’ve read it like 10 times and I still don’t understand what the bottom part means. Like if it’s meant for me it doesn’t make sense and it would make sense applied to OP but then why is it not a reply to OP?

13·4 months agoI guess I should be very ashamed of myself then. I got my license at 21. I’m now 22 and still a virgin. I’ve known for a long time that I move slower than others and I really don’t care. Like genuinely why do some people think having sex at a young age is like the most important thing ever?? Like why do you even care?

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Anon updates GNU/linuxEnglish
151·6 months agoThis reminds me of when I was in middle school and did a Scratch game dev class. I decided to use multiplication instead of simple addition and subtraction to make my character jump because the latter looks horrible and janky. My teacher accused me of cheating the moment I pressed the space button. Even after I explained how it worked to her she still didn’t believe me. I still got a good grade but after that she started watching me like a hawk; I assume she thought she would catch me cheating but never did since I was never cheating.

16·9 months agoYou’re thinking of gen alpha not gen z. I have plenty of physical photos of me as a kid in the 00s where I have red eyes. Besides that I don’t know anyone my age who says skibidi rizz ohio unless they are mocking gen alpha.

2·1 year agoI used to use a chain one and then I switched to a local one and I pay half as much as I used to.

391·1 year agoPlease use local drug stores. The chain stores are absolutely ripping you the fuck off.
I use obsidian for just text stuff I need to remember later. If I need to do math or need a diagram temporarily I prefer pencil and paper. If I want to save diagrams for later I have a drawing tablet that I use like a whiteboard so that I can save and use layers. If you don’t have a drawing tablet Autodesk sketchbook is a decent substitute that can be used on your phone.

They finally have multiline app names in beta for the pixel… Idk why it’s taking them so long. My old crusty motorola displays long names just fine; its crazy that it took until Android 15 just to get a beta of that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is Google Maps getting worse?English
20·1 year agoYep. Multiple times I have had Google maps direct me to back employee only entrances instead of the regular entrances. Sometimes it seems like Google doesn’t even recognize that the front entrance even exists.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the trick to Menopause?English
2·1 year agoYeah, I forgot that there are different variants better suited for cis women. I’m pretty sure you’re correct that she does need something a bit different.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the trick to Menopause?English
123·1 year agoI am a trans woman so I understand how it feels to not have the hormones you want in your body. It’s literal hell. You are allowed to have your own feelings, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Your wife’s mental state is just in the gutter right now and that’s why she’s lashing out at you.
I’d recommend seeing a professional so she can get prescribed estradiol. That’s really the only thing that’s going to fix it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?English
7·2 years ago- Have Nvidia card
- Change the driver to see if I can fix a weird graphical issue I was having.
- Rebooted computer and got stuck in boot loop because there was an error with the driver.

While Debian is my preferred distro, I wouldn’t reccomend it to others unless they are techy and don’t mind fiddling with things. I absolutely wouldn’t reccomend it to my grandma (I would reccomend her Mint though) and probably not to someone who just wants to play games, especially if they have an Nvidia card. I do game on Debian with a 3060, but it was cumbersome getting stuff working properly because of old drivers. I did get it working, but I think most people just want to play their games and not deal with that. I also have a nearly 10 year old laptop with Debian, and since it’s so old, everything does, “just work”, but I imagine most people aren’t also using the same 10 year old laptop.
