Yeah it's pretty common in IT jobs where they're like "we want 25 years experience in these ten different technologies" and then you talk to the hiring manager and they admit that those qualifications are ridiculous.

Agreed, I think it's a lot to ask for in a volunteer position and kind of a dumb idea for the Lemmy Admins to hand over "the keys to the kingdom" to some random dude(tte) because they passed a video interview and submitted a (possibly forged) resume.
What stops you from lying during a video interview? It's not like they have some crazy virtual lie detector.
I'm an unemployed Linux System Engineer and even though I spent most of my free time right now messing with my home server I wouldn't wanna do it for free for something that actually "mattered" (aka something that people use).
Yep, I work in IT as a Linux System Engineer and I'm currently unemployed. I could do it, but there's a lot involved for zero pay. You really have to love Lemmy or admin work to want to do this for free.
I filed for free with H&R Block.
Ji-mo-nah! 🕺
Apology accepted 🙂
Google gets a lot of hate, and they, as a company and as a search engine have gotten worse over the years, but they still do a lot of stuff right. I never took it personally, just giving an example.
That is the point, most people don't do research and see "ahh a bigger number, it must be better!". 1Khz refresh rate may be a niche thing now but in two years every company will be pushing something similar.
Just because it's becoming less useful doesn't mean it's useless. I search for stuff every day and can find the answer I'm looking for in under a few minutes.
Screen technologies for a lot of things has gotten to the point where your eyes literally can't tell the difference, but sure, dump money into a placebo.
I think it's because you can "largely" trust business to protect this information, this isnt even really a business.
