  • Thanks again for your inaccurate comment. I’m not sure why you insist on telling me to ask lawyers about things I literally said I paid lawyers for in my parent comment.

    I’ve talked with lawyers who helped me navigate the subject, and spent over 1,000$ in fees to do so. What you said again, is false. Having a not for profit means neither myself nor my contributors can be easily punished directly for our work (excluding some logic about piercing the corporate veil, which is highly unlikely). The whole idea of legal entities is so they can take the legal risk and fall for risky business activities. The not for profit may fold and go bankrupt if sued, but that outcome is hundreds of times better than me being personally sued.







  • Anecdotally, there seem to be more apps with (albeit expensive) lifetime purchase options […] Anecdotally, more apps seem to require subscriptions.

    I’ve worked in mobile apps for nearly 3 years. We charge iOS users more because they consistently pay more.

    This does also translate to better quality, since if one app has 80% of the profit coming from iOS, we’re going to put more effort into that.

    The glass back is a constant source of worry.

    I’ve dropped my work one a few times and it’s never cracked. That said, for personal use, I’d get a case

    Slightly jealous about Pixel 8’s new camera abilities

    Considering every service compresses the crap out of images, don’t worry about it

    Losing […] Signal chat histories.

    Might be too late if you already have lots of chats on the iPhone you don’t want to lose, but Signal restore is your friend

    I realised I didn’t actually customise my phone much. […] Notification volume much louder than ring volume but (often) can’t be individually changed? Notification system not as good as it could be. Ancient and irritating limitation on using own ringtones. Let me remove, not just blank, sources in the News app.

    I spy a contradiction


  • How does someone like me, a PhD candidate who has a background in Human-Computer Interaction, contribute?

    Start a blog where you get users to try and complete a task on a stock Linux install, and write about it.

    “Given a stock Debian XFCE install, users were tasked to connect their Airpods pro. Here’s what happened”

    (Even doing this for Lemmy, I.e. “find a community about birds”, would be insanely helpful)

    A blog like this would help give focus for developers on what needs to be improved, in every part of the stack!







  • Kk Lemmy is being weird but here you are -

    • Make it 1 page
    • Remove summary
    • Use a format that is more compressed, you have so much white-space
    • Change Skills categories - You use Git for Backend and Frontend, so the categories have overlap and don’t make much sense. Most people use Languages/Frameworks/Tools, do some variation of that
    • Good to see education at the bottom, although I’m not sure what Non-Graduate means (it sounds like you dropped out? If you didn’t drop out, definitely change the wording)

    Bulletpoints:

    • None of recent bulletpoints have “proof” that you did a good job. You kind of talk about a “result” by saying “things got better” or “things got faster”, but you don’t prove it. Your old bulletpoints (ie US Air Force) on the other hand are great
    • Add metrics - You have very few numbers in your bulletpoints. Numbers are the best way to show impact
    • Your bulletpoint formatting changed half-way through - Before you were putting the tech stack below each point, afterwards you stopped. Be consistent

    i.e. change “Led architecture design change, implemented server-driven UI framework for dynamically rendering pages, reducing development time for new content”

    To “Led architecture design change, implemented server-driven UI [with FrameworkName], reducing [page load by 50ms/page size by 80%]”

    i.e. “Facilitated agile engineering team improvement, led sessions designed to promote continued growth by creating iterative goals focused on agile engineering fluences, enhancing team’s capability to deliver value.”

    To “Facilitated agile engineering team improvement, led 12 sessions of 8 engineers to promote continued growth by creating iterative goals focused on agile engineering fluences, enhancing team’s capability to deliver value.”

    i.e. “Developed network wide security log centralization and archiving solution, ensuring log integrity for 200 GB of logs a day” - This is very good

    But still change to “Developed network wide security log centralization and archiving solution [with XYZ], ensuring log integrity for 200 GB of logs a day”

    i.e. “Administrator responsible for maintaining $2.7M Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communication Network node supporting 24/7/365 unmanned aerial vehicle operation, and Nellis Air Force base exercises” - This is great, the $2.7M shows great ownership, but you’re missing a bullet at the start (formatting)
