"But we've always been at war with Jensen Haunge's sex life"

For software and UX, are two kinds of translation:

- cultural (language, and others)
- system-level (CPU architecture, graphics layer, etc.)

@bigzaphod If you’re a Mac user, try the DeskRest app. It’s helped me a lot with reminders to watch my posture and to take breaks every 20 min.

I suffer from vestibular migraines, so everything neck and shoulder related is paramount for me now.

With PT, ask them how you can do as much as possible at home. I’ve found with PT that aside from the massages, most of the routines are easily replicated at home. And they’re generally happy to share this info with you.

@nev I don't doubt it! My eyes glazed over trying to type my banausic example. I can only assume the bots are digesting a lot of agent.md files of late, and weighting towards "that's how humans write" when someone asks for help drafting a birthday card message...

"Hi Cathy,

An annual solar orbit completes. Biological age increments by one integer, zero manual intervention. Short message scanned visually, retina input cascades, dopamine secretes. Orbit continues.

I can attest with the utmost confidence that every developer or manager or whoever that claims "all code written by AI is reviewed by a human" is a boldfaced lie.

AT BEST they have quickly skimmed it, but more likely they've not looked at it at all.

Actually reading code THAT YOU DID NOT WRITE YOURSELF takes quite a bit of time, and the one thing that people who use AI tooling care most about is just how fast it makes things.

They will not spend the time needed to actually read it.

@Daveography I have been vocal about this fact for years.

oh fucking snap

… what I all see when doing things for others or money…

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

@PhoenixSerenity

Ain't this the fucken truth.

Every statue and every plaque is shame.

@carnage4life herd mentality is right. These guys (and they’re almost always guys) just chase each other around doing what the other one is doing. There’s no much original thought left in SV today.

@TheBreadmonkey

do you have a photo or description of them?

for the rest of your stuff.

i have put my best man on it.

"What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area."

I just lost my favourite #hat. As Arthur Dent so accurately observed, "I'm a bit upset about that."

Can't believe the guy has had 24 annualized sex scandals.

Alright, Jensen is out.

Soon to be replaced by a white guy more loyal to America no doubt. Surely someone with a past on Epstein Island will do nicely I'm sure.

if i were the edmund fitzgerald it wouldn't have gone down like that

It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
