38·6 days agoMy root issue with people who shit on AI is that by pretending like it doesn’t exist or refusing to use it, your voice is not part of the conversation.
The world will use AI, regardless of your personal feelings.
And if you arent in the room to help shape decisions, don’t be surprised when we are fucked.

I’m fed up with Proton and proton mail so this is a great switch for me
Nah. It’s just a paradigm. I hated it when I studied it in the 2000s, and have gained some appreciation of it 20 years later.
What I realized isn’t that I hate OOP, moreso I hate how old ass books/old guard developers used OOP.
Could also be related to c++
Everyone in the comments is saying real things and the only time this happened to me was when some genZ couple where wondering what kind of animal Knuckles was, and kept calling him an anteater.
And in a very controlled tone, said, “He’s an echidna.”
I hate going to Amazon for everything, but shit like this is why…
Maybe I’m more bold but I’ve told a manager who was trying to be TOO helpful this exact statement.
They backed off real fast.
Facts.
The dumbest thing you can do as a tech person is let a non-tech person know you’re competent. You’re just opening yourself up to stupid questions nonstop.
That’s actually more common than you think. It’s not explicit.
My niece who works at a very popular coffee shop where some are unioned, the non-union ones get paid a bit extra and reminded on the daily about that benefit of higher pay for being non-unioned.
And my aunt works as a receptionist in a non-union hospital. Her counterparts in a union, when they went on strike and got a huge pay bump… She suddenly “mysteriously” got a pay bump aligned with it because the non-union hospital was afraid of employees unionizing (which secretly, they were).

You need warm pigeon blood, followed by a strict diet of roasted onions and three hail Marys.
12·2 months agoI work with a “high powered CEO”. These parasites treat golfing, going to dinner, flying on private jets as “working”.
25·2 months agoThe comments here are smug as fuck.
That’s how Reddit was in the beginning.
Back then, you used to show someone “the front page of the internet” and it would literally be jailbait and tech news.
The defense of “it’s so easy just pick a server” is getting exhausting.
The average person wants something that works.
Around 2010, I worked for a company where one project was to increase the social profile of our company. We hired a marketing company to help us improve how our CTO, CEO, CFO, all the C-level folks looked to the public. Pretty much, throwing money to make these people get famous, so the company to could make money from all the news.
A year later, CFO was on talk shows discussing his new book, which was a NYT best seller. The book was garbage and full of content scraped from a dozen other “thought leaders”.
The thought leader circlejerk where hundreds of them have ghost writers write their shit, all of them tell the same 10 stories, all of them quote each other, all of them buy their way onto NYT best sellers list because some thought leader friend wanted to do the same so they inflate the sales. Then the Ted talks, the podcast tours, the constant INNOVATORS bs. Yuck.
But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭
Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is
I would have disagreed with you when Pis were like $50 and chaining 3 Pis together with a hard drive was a fun project to do self hosting.
Now to get to the beefiest raspberry pi, it’s $120. And in the range, yeah, for price and reliability, use a mini-pc/laptop.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.

So yeah after a year of a release.
