If I remember this site correctly from back then, it was one of those run by idiots that made you upload a PDF of your résumé, and then enter all of the same info in web forms. This tracks.

Out of frame, above the other text: "Job requirements: experience with OCR-tools."

How was OCR in 2013? This mightve basically been the test for the job

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

It was bad.

This reminds me of how my coworker's little girl wrote Santa a letter and wrote out the Amazon links of everything she wanted in much the same fashion.

I'm sure apps that convert images to text will help with accessing the website.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I thought they didn't have apps in 2013

Reminds me of my phoniatrics teacher who printed out a link for us as homework instead of just sending us the link via email

In a way, you just took my virginity. It's the first time it's genuinely happened to me, I didn't see this coming. This is a great feeling but I also feel a bit ashamed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

It's alright. It's part of being online. It's a unique and strange feeling for sure.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Perfect in every way, good job.

As general rule you should look at where a URL goes as well as what the link text.

A big ass link that is pointed towards tinyurl should have set off alarm bells for everyone who clicked the link.

That was slick @owl

I wish someone would type that out into the comments, so I could click the dead link and feel a small sense of satisfaction; simply by knowing it was dead before I even clicked it, confirming my suspicion

But it's the internet... so 50/50 whether some hero does it for no reason, or someone throws some kinda rick-roll response. Either way, I ain't typing it out and I can live with the disappointment... sorry y'all, I'll try and be better next time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Nice call on the Rick Roll.

Hence why I said:

the accuracy is a whole other thing.

I knew some part of the URL would be screwed up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

true my bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Well shucks, my modern technology doesn't currently have a "copy text from image". I appreciate it though

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I clicked. The actual URL is very short and easy to type.
