It happened to me and I refused in an internal email with a lot of people in CC (the CEO was included). I politely explained why it was very illegal and why I wouldn’t do it. They stopped asking me because “they knew that I knew that they knew.”
If it’s the same kind of company, you would say yes, the client would discover the lie, and your company would fire you in less than a few minutes. You usually don’t last long in that kind of environment.
That’s why you must negotiate or clarify what is being asked. Once it has been accepted, it is not ambiguous anymore as long as you respect it.
And NOT yet another front page written in ReactJS.
But it would need to be reliable with a syntax, like some kind of grammar.
A bit unrelated but anyway:
I could technically afford some of those but I chose to remove all my subscriptions to get a better life for my wife who can’t work. No more fitness apps, music streaming, movie streaming, computer clouds, big projects that have no reason to be there, or stuff where I depend on random companies.
It requires some adaptation but it works fine and I’m now in control which is better: replaced my old Mac (expensive but dying) with a mini-PC with Linux that cost me 150 Euros, replaced my dying iPhone with a cheap Android and a custom ROM, found free courses on YouTube instead of expensive subscriptions, and secured all my files to a few hard drives that I manually backup regularly.
Those subscriptions are small convenient things but it can cost a lot every month. I now have a good routine that’s only 10 minutes of checking some tasks every day, but I gained money thanks to that. And I’m in control of my own destiny which is good.
Last but not least, I’m playing the guitar again and reading books again (yeah, free activities), instead of wasting my time on stupid stuff.
$5 or $10 once per project, or once a year if I remember. I can’t afford to have subscriptions. I only try to fix bugs if I can.
Don’t forget that most people do not use external applications such as Thunderbird. You’re a blip on the radar.
Art is about expressing one emotion from one person to another.
We have a word for fake pictures: advertising.
You’re right that some AIs are useful, but we are literally flooded with “scam as a service” web sites that sell LLMs, and they are hyped by people who can’t code or do anything useful in life who tell us that we are gatekeeping knowledge, and those people would be very happy if we were all unemployed.
Or fix a simple syntax error. I’ve seen that a few times from juniors who thought they were too smart to learn, and it’s painful to watch.
That or when SourceSafe was literally deleting random files because it was full of bugs.
Until they were bought twice and royally fucked up everything that was good since the 2000s.
Protect Israel? Never heard of that anywhere, it seems ridiculous. Also no one is encouraged to do business with anyone. It’s a personal spiritual thing, not a club (at least in liberal lodges).
Gimmick for me. I like innovation but I don’t see the point here. The rectangle shape was almost perfect from the start like a TV or any screen. You can’t really improve this except by using new magical technology like holograms or brain implants.
Also all foldable phones do break around me for those who bought them. Doubly stupid idea.
And that’s why I hate ads and advertisers.
I still can’t feel that part of my feet
Doctor. Now.
1080p is enough for most people’s eyes. What do you want?
Spam is not real. Welcome to the internet.
IIRC Musk said it would rely on AI using the footage from all the Teslas and it’s better than LiDAR. That idiot was proven wrong once again.
Torrenting in a café? Get Mullvad and stop complaining.
