Same.

I HATE youtube shorts. Not their content (I've never watched one) but how they've infected the whole youtube experience.

You search for something and half the results are irrelevant... which includes a ton of shorts.

Better than the results on google these days, so YT is at least doing better.

> Personally, I do over 50% of my "searches" on LLMs now.

Equally personally, after a whole bunch of negative experiences I've started to avoid LLMs like the plague; now I'm wondering if the non-growth of Bing is an indicator that there are more people like me than there are like you…

I use the Kagi AI answer especially when I have a basic understanding (or I once did and forgot some bridge concept) and am looking to get an ELI5ish clarification.

Or if its pop culture of little consequence.

Cellulose is microplastic? I wonder what paper straws shed?

Epic did that to me a couple of years back.

Once burned twice shy.

I just stole the games instead!

Our Intellectual Property utopia is such that you need to steal back what you owned, because its been impounded by an 800 pound automaton.

Maybe someone will create a gaming model that 'borrows' from every known game in existence, so that we'll finally get an Artificial Gaming-you Intelligence.

I've always interpreted the 'scrum master' role as the person on the team that is both the process expert and senior enough to be able to generally coach others and help unblocking issues. Ie. one of the senior devs on the team that has been interested enough to learn the scrum agile process, but who takes on the role can change depending on circumstances.

But obviously this means it's not a dedicated role and so a missed 'opportunity' to create more "manager of something" roles, especially for project managers who feel threatened.

More responsibility for the same pay, corralling people, and inevitably adding their workload to yours? Because SME/mentor < sr dev when it comes time to rightsize the CxOs gambling losses.

Not surprising sr devs weren't jumping on this whole hog.

Sounds healthy to live in a padded room, rather than learning to ignore when you don't want to engage.

It didn't suspend the rules, it only made a lot of people feel entitled to break the rules. Those with power will never be held accountable for the various rules they broke, but those without that kind of privilege will be paying for what they did. Archive.org falls into the latter.

AwaAwa · a year ago

Depressing that in this 'enlightened' age, this statement is the closest to closure we will ever have for all the in-plain-sight rule breaking by the powers that be.

Technology, the great equalizer, except when it's not. Mostly not.

Firefox + Feedbro extension + RSShub container (self hosted) does the trick for those that have and had RSS.

This is also a warning to Musk, considering he is trying to turn X into the 'everything' app, and thus far has resisted giving backdoor access to the powers that be.

Are you just ignoring all the child porn on purpose or what’s going on here?

AwaAwa · a year ago

Apparently the governments are all ignoring the much more sizable amount of child porn on instagram, because they have a backdoor with Meta.

This goes straight to the point about this being more about politics.
