The article is from the ABC, an Australian publication, so of course Australian women are the headline. The Danish women and others are mentioned in the fourth paragraph. Please actually read the article.

Hello, Based department?

Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV in c/technology@lemmy.world

A reporter at the Verge just had a hands on with it and confirmed that you do, unfortunately, have to lift it up.

there’s no way to reach the power button, which is on the underside of the computer, without lifting it up.

Mac Mini's are cool, and I appreciate that Apple has some of the most experienced and talented designers in the world... But they put the power switch on the bottom. You have to lift it up and turn it over to turn it on and off.

I run a few bots on Bluesky and absently check it occasionally on a personal account. Anecdotally I can say that I'm seeing a lot more engagement even just over the last week.

I've had a very tough time finding my first position as a junior dev and have been looking into getting a paid mentor to help me out. Someone who can give me a specific, clear idea of what skills I might need to have, refine, etc, as well as some looser guidance and direction after losing my confidence.

Do any of you have experience with services like this? Somewhere like Mentor Cruise or something similar?

Edit: to be clear, I'm looking for my first role as a web developer, ideally frontend with React (which is what I feel most confident in). I've been at this for over a year and a half - I do have a portfolio, Github, etc with projects in JS and some basic Python. I'm aware of how to look for a job, but actually getting anyone to look at me has been the hard part, as I've only had two interviews that went nowhere. The handful of people who've seen my portfolio seemed fine with it and the impression I have is that it is enough to demonstrate my skill level, but I'm still getting very little back.
