Right, it's not about hypocrisy, just that we collectively have to hear complaining no matter what.

People complain when the AI crap is forced on them and people complain when it isn't.

A minority will be diligent and actually learn their subject deeply rather than learn to massage AI output, and they'll have an advantage. That part isn't terribly different from where we're at now. But it is a change and it&

Plex is the destination for my setup, too. I have a bookmarklet I can click when I'm on any Youtube (or other video) page that sends the URL to a local Flask app that's just a wrapper for calling yt-dlp with the right args and pos

Hi, I'm looking for a low profile sort of job. Something other than working with an agile team on a customer-facing project. I would prefer less sexy work like maintenance, support, tools, one-off tasks, scripts. I do like working with

It could be that a lot of trusts give ownership of property upon someone's 18th or 21st birthday. And then a few years later the property has been sold since it might make more sense for someone that young to rent. Or maybe property ta

I had an iPhone and Google tablet that both had this problem. I stopped buying hardware from either. I switched to Galaxy phones and haven't had a problem since. My current S20 is 3 years old and runs like the day I got it. My previous

The touch bar function keys make it a hard pass for me. The keyboard looks altogether ugly but that's not a dealbreaker alone. This is a bummer. My last laptop was as XPS 15 and it has a great design. I don't know what my next lap

I don't understand why it would have been awkward. Whatever the flaws in the institution as a whole I'm sure she doesn't blame you for them personally. You have no reason to feel self-conscious about satire.

I've used TextPad forever as my main editor. IDEs are distracting for me, even something like Sublime is more than I want. When I was a Java developer long ago I'd supplement it with some use of Eclipse as needed. But whatever dri

That's a ridiculous thing to say. They'll either let you go or give you a raise and promotion to retain you according to whichever serves their interests at a given time. It cost them time and money to hire you so it's not ef

There's a difference between the idea of paying for a service in the abstract, and paying for one that's past its prime and has gone through extreme enshittification. Would I pay this much for 2015 Twitter? Sure.
