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
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.
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.
It’s alright. It’s part of being online. It’s a unique and strange feeling for sure.
Perfect in every way, good job.
Ah fuck
Bravo
What a lad.
Incredible beautiful amazing
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
It teaches about cybersecurity.
I want my mommy
Yeah… I want your mommy, too.
She is a nice lady!
very nice
You son of a bitch! overnmentjobs 🤣
Thank you, I fixed it.
governmentjobs* But yeah, nice one!
Thank you, I fixed it.
YOU SON OF BITCH!!! 😂
I’m in
Pfff these Cavemen still haven’t learned of the invention of QR Codes
Get connected – for FREE!
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
Mispelled colorado
and fstring
Hence why I said:
the accuracy is a whole other thing.
I knew some part of the URL would be screwed up.
Well shucks, my modern technology doesn’t currently have a “copy text from image”. I appreciate it though
I clicked. The actual URL is very short and easy to type.
Typically;
2C143%2C8%20127%2C91%2CB1%2C157%2C8Ty2C82%2C46%2C144%2C97%2C10%2C11%2C154%2C50%2C15%2C106X2C118%2C148%2C16%2C123…
Is used for tracking & identifying. The session likely expired many, many, many moons ago.
Data entry operator?
I wore out my percent key typing in the url.
Somebody correct me, but I remember a url (or any long piece of text) can contain a small image. I think it was hexadecimal code. I was looking for the words “base16=” or “base32=”.
What you mean is base64, and yeah.
In this case the latter part of the link is URL-encoded XML and probably unnecessary, I’d guess that only the first two parameters of the URL are really mandatory, but who knows. There are many ancient and ugly as hell web apps out there.
You are correct those are called “data urls”, they’re intended to embed files in text.
This is not a data url tho, it’s an ugly link
You know what? I forgive url shorteners, sometimes they truly are necessary
URL Shorteners can go down.
QR Codes would literally contain the entire link without relying on a third-party service.
Why has nobody invented a URL longener?
You can always add unnecessary query parameters. Just throw on a
?fart=butts&pen=is&herp=derpetc.If I wanted to add unnecessary characters, I’d just use dots.
Like this: (Lemmy unfortunately breaks the URL)
google.com...............................................
(Psst, rumor has it you can tack on to a URL pretty much any alphanumeric text you like after typing a ? or # symbol)
Yeah, but query/hash params aren’t necessary. I don’t want the URL to be shortenable!
Finally!
What would be funnier is if instead of an address, it was a hyperlink embedded text that says : Click Here.
Plot twist: the job is specifically for a transcriber/translator and requires high level of accuracy.
I could totally see this as being a thing back in the day before everyone was walking around with a supercomputer in their pocket capable of OCR.
