I wouldn’t mind ads on streaming media if they were limited to a few seconds at the start and end, and had some constraints (eg: no volume tricks to sound louder). Just a calm voice saying “This episode brought to you by WidgetCo. The best in Widgets. [logo] [url]” over a neutral color. That’d be fine. But the hunger for profit can never be sated, so it’s longer, more obvious ads more frequently forever. So they can all get fucked. I won’t watch at all.
If you were an organization with ideas to push, would you just ignore reddit? It’s pretty cheap to pay people to manage social media, especially if you don’t care about some slop from LLMs.
If it’s “full of”, I don’t know. I don’t use it anymore.
I’d rather spend billions on teaching people how to write better than AI slop, but here we are
This seems like an obvious improvement and I kind of want everyone who thought otherwise to be banned from working in decision making roles.
Mark is a good, kind person
No he’s not.
He has done tremendous, incalculable, harm to countless people. All of our lives are worse because Zuckerberg is an asshole.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask but maybe this comic will be interesting anyway
Microsoft 365 is a worse name than Microsoft Office.
People are idiots. They believe things that feel good.
Cis male. Often yes, but there’s always room for improvement. I lean on metaphor a little hard sometimes.
I had a relationship where the other person was very Guess Culture (as opposed to Ask) and that didn’t work very well at all.
I think most people are kind of bad with money, and I think that scales with income.
I think a lot about some old coworkers (six figure salary). We all wanted to go out for a party after work. A bunch of then paid like $80 for a car. I paid $3 for a subway ride. Got there at the same time.
Maybe that’s not so much “bad at money” exactly as have incomprehensible to me values.
Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.
A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.
I (cis man) always fully close the toilet when it’s not in use. Never would occur to me to do otherwise.
Some of my women friends leave the seat down lid open, but then their cats drink out of the toilet.
I make a list between shopping of stuff I realize I should get (eg: peanut butter). When I go, I sometimes just grab stuff that’s cheap or appealing.
I also live like 5 minutes away on foot from several grocery stores, so it’s not a big deal to go.
Maybe I should check out their grocery options. I’ve mostly been using Too Good to Go for like a pizza @ $4.
I got the vaccine as soon as it was available. A good friend procrastinated. We saw their little nephew together and hung out indoors one day. The nephew got the flu. My friend got the flu. I seem to be fine. My friend was bedridden for about a week.
They got their flu and COVID shots after they recovered, at least.
I feel like every retro I’ve attended has been a farce.
“What went bad? We said doing it this way would be harder and more risk prone. Management insisted we do it that way, and it took longer than and caused a site outage.”
"What should we do differently?’
“Listen to the team next time”
“That won’t happen”
Depending on how the html is structured, you might be able to use adblock or tamper monkey to filter it out (in a browser. Apps are less supportive of this)
I’d rather have health than maybe marginally better cooking experiences
the truth is that what we did didn’t affect them as much as we expected, and most people don’t care as well :(
Most people don’t really care about anything. They won’t put up with a little inconvenience. Worse than toddlers.
I feel like online spaces like lemmy over represent some behaviors.
