I miss the headphone jacks too but I feel like people you guys are idolising it as if it was a god-tier jack when it is/was just okay. 3.5mm jacks would break on me all the time. I’ve literally had the 3.5mm plug break off inside the port before
Hey OP you seem like AI yourself so I’m curious to know you feel about this
Writing code is what I like best about programming though
Oh I feel that hard. Things have been a bit soul crushing lately
Hey, the next quarter’s profits is all that matters, eh?
I think its the opposite in that only dicks go into upper management
You might be able to ship a codebase quicker but once it hits a certain level of complexity, you’ll have a codebase that no single human being on your team really understands. You’ll now be forever tied to an ever increasing AI subscription cost
Maybe its less of a thing now? I had the same experience as the other commenter where every random cheap laptop had a touchscreen but it was back in the Windows 8 era
God damn it every government agency on earth needs to switch away from Microsoft and any other US tech
I love Immich and use it as my primary backup but I had been using Google Photos as my secondary backup (partially out of laziness to find a new offsite backup). Are there any other cheap photo hosts?
Guessing the password based on a recognised pattern is absolutely hacking. There’s not really a difficulty minimum to the term hacking
Yeah… My company blocks the ability to install extensions so no ad blocking. I can’t even use my DNS adblocker when working from home since the computer can only be online using the company VPN
It’s been kind of absurd seeing what the internet looks like without an adblocker and I don’t understand why anyone would choose not to use one
That’d confuse the hell out of me if i missed a single config line when updating defaults. Maybe we could have a “you didn’t update all the defaults ya dummy” status code that only example.com uses
What’s the AI policy? I hate even bringing up AI since I’m so sick of hearing about it but what I want to know is that is this just an AI generated project that was generated over a weekend and will be quickly abandoned or does it have active thoughtful development? I couldn’t tell from the website or commit logs
It’s impossible to tell if projects are worth investing time into these days and it kills me inside :(
I’m being told to use AI more and more too and I’ve managed to get by without selling my soul to it but idk how long I’ll be until I get let go just because I’m not dumping hundreds of thousands of slop code daily. I’ve been hearing more and more coworkers talk about how they haven’t written any code in weeks and are now just checking up on their agents occasionally and it’s filling me with actual existential dread and depression. I’m positive it’ll all come crashing down but if it’s not soon then maybe I’ll drop the career I’ve wanted nearly my whole life and take up farming or something because watching vibe coding infect the whole software field makes me want to shoot myself
I genuinely think I’d have preferred no-code shit to have taken over instead of this because at least that takes some actual thought and effort to use
Either you apply the same standards of criticism and ridicule to individuals and corporations, or your argument doesn’t hold water.
That’s exactly what I’m doing though. Imagine standing there with a bullhorn shouting that you just downloaded every available movie, show, research paper, news article, etc and you’re now profiting significantly off of it, as an individual. You’d get sued into oblivion if you weren’t sent to prison first.
I still think pirating is okay and that the US twisting the world’s arm to enforce the DMCA is fucking BS but if we have to suffer with it then the billion dollar companies should have to too
They’re not really prosecuting people for piracy, so why would they go after large corporations?
One group is poor individuals and the other is a billion/trillion dollar industry that’s basically gloating about pirating at an industrial scale.
Going after individuals for downloading a 4Gb rip of a movie doesn’t make any financial sense but it makes a lot more sense going after companies downloadinh millions of gigabytes and have more than enough money to pay damages
So it’s strange to continue attacking individuals while covering your eyes at the big companies
I can invite you if you DM me your email! I don’t use lobsters super often since I mainly use Lemmy but I do have an account there
