Can I asked what you’ve used? I was trying out Kagi for a while but it seems like they’ve been pivoting to focusing on their own GPT and putting GenAI summaries in the search feed. I’m currently defaulting to DDG but the search results are so poor half the time I usually end up banging to Google anyways.

Brave search has been really good imo, they do also try to integrate AI but it's not as bad as Google.

My wife doesn't, simply because Android Chrome doesn't support one and she won't move to Firefox because it doesn't have an extension to translate pages with Google Translate like Chrome does :(

Try kiwi browser, it's chrome for android but with extensions

The CEO of Reddit watched an interview with Elon Musk and decided that it was time to cut back on staff to save money? \s

Yes, he said he was inspired by Musk's handling of Twitter...

I’ll never forget when my damn sonicare toothbrush app warned me about my iPhone being jailbroken. Had to have been a troll by the creators of the app since not even some of my banking apps had that warning.

Zeyka · 2 years ago

When I rooted my android phone a few years back, all of my banking apps worked (I had to use magisk hide for some I think) but the only app that would not work was the Macdonalds app... Not that I needed it, I never go there, but I thought it was funny that their app was more "secure" than some banking apps.

Zeyka commented on JPMorgan Chase and Co tracks employees to dystopian extents old.reddit.com/r/antiwork... · Posted by u/notRobot

Worked there (in Chase tower downtown Chicago) last year. The oddest thing is that it was hybrid work (where we were onsite 3 days out of the week). So good luck tracking things the other two days. I took to listening to midi files of old VG music as my "background tunes" during work, so as to not use bandwidth that would be tracked for streaming music while coding. The tracking didn't really get to me (after all, it is "their time" that they're paying for). The tough part is that it makes "Oh I need to do a personal thing for 5 / 10 minutes." a near impossibility, and a change in my personal life drove me to switch jobs for better work life balance.

So no, I don't think that this tracking is the dystopian nightmare it's being portrayed as, but it does have consequences, which make the post-covid work / life intermingling schedule impossible to maintain. The real dangers of such a policy are who they will lose as a result of it.

EDIT -

I feel the need to add, that the tracking at the time of my departure was not as extensive as some of the claims being made here, which I am a bit... skeptical of.

You say that, yet I'm sure you would be against a system like china's social credit score.

"Everyone" uses IATA, why use ICAO codes?

Zeyka · 2 years ago

Iata codes are just used with passengers, icao codes are used for everything else.

Holy crap, I keep/use-modify maybe a line or two of what co-pilot suggests per file. To the point I probably won't pay for it when my trial end today.

What am I right differently that results in me needing/using it much less than the stated 40+% ? That's an incredible high figure - maybe it's not an accurate figure?

Zeyka · 3 years ago

Why do you never use what it suggests you? Is it wrong most of the time? I ask because for me it's quite good at finishing code that has a specific pattern, e.g. Switch cases, error checking in go,...

Zeyka commented on As unions decline, inequality rises epi.org/publication/union... · Posted by u/vivekmgeorge

jccalhoun · 3 years ago

Because all they see is "that union is taking money out of my pay check!" and they don't see the positives.

And there actually are bad unions. I worked in a casino and out union was a non-striking union so even if the casino gave use some shitty contract we weren't able to strike. So what was the point?

Zeyka · 3 years ago

Replace the word unions with cops (in the us) and then see if you come to the conclusion that there should be no cops because the system isn't working right now. The answer is most likely "No, of course not". So why do so many come to the conclusion that since unions aren't working well right now, you should just get rid of them altogether?
