Massive software layoffs have been common for as long as I can remember. I think it’s not that big of an issue to explain why you are looking for a job in that field. Oh your last job was xxx ahh they laid off x number of employees.
It’s not a secret that most of the people laid in these things are just people on the wrong teams and nothing to do with their capabilities

Interesting. Didn’t know it meant that but I can see it now…
I’m taking about what a documentary said “hardtack biscuits” that was popular on the old wooden sailing ships.
They even went through a recipe and tried to recreate them. Holy jaw breakers batman

Reading the labels helps avoid the truly shitty makers. There was a brand of fake parmesan cheese that got outed for having higher than 45% filler in their grated Parmesan cheese. 50% of the filler was the cellulose powder.
The worst offenders are NOT a small percentage. It’s usually easy to notice because it’s so much cheaper than the rest on the shelf but not always

- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 2 weeks ago:
Uhh I traveled to san Fransisco and there was an Uber booth in mall I was getting some necessities for. The booth dude was like hey come earn some money. I’m not from here , no worries that doesn’t matter, ok well I don’t have a car. That’s fine we can get you sorted on that, it’s a great way to make I little extra money.
No dude I’m not interested.
If you change your mind come back

Thanks for sharing
- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 2 weeks ago:
Hmm thanks, also please massively digress if you would like to.
I interpreted it like 10% is a lot if it’s 10% of a million. That 100,000. So if there’s a million things that crash Firefox that’s a high number.
If Firefox only crashes 10 times a year because it runs that well, 10% or that 1 time it crashes from a bitflip is impressive that the rare bitflip takes up such a high percentage of total crashes because Firefox just doesn’t crash very often.
If your dead is justified that won’t be too surprising as a hardware is getting made less reliable these days thing. Enshitification being the norm, and tech being in everything nowadays

… I can’t imagine having a browser with hundreds of open tabs. That would tend me of the old days of Netscape Navigator and all the popups and browser add on cancer.
Ahh the nostalgic days of the early Dotcom era. I sometimes miss you geocities
- Comment on 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips 2 weeks ago:
How so?
Didn’t it just highlight how stable the software is?
I assume bitflipping crashes most softwares. If your software is so stable that hardware errors that effect everyone equally(which may be my erroneous assumption I’ll admit) then it is staying that if Firefox is crashing on you, it might be time to run some diagnosis on your hardware.

- Comment on There's another NSFW instance 3 weeks ago:
Kindly I disagree. It was very helpful to find stuff that wasn’t what I already knew I wanted especially as I came from Reddit as one of the earlier refugees after the API thing.
Given how small and in development Lemmy has been, it was a good thing to keep showing me that I made a good choice and that this federated thing ISNT Reddit and has its own value to give if I can just get a little bit of help find finding stuff.
Now it’s been sometime but I think on by default is still a good thing. I’m also okay with making it super super easy to turn off and be reminded/prompted to do that as well.
If it’s no longer a needed thing I might be convinced that the on by default state has passed the value I found in it, but I am not ready put the effort into that at this time.
- Comment on Game over 3 weeks ago:
Since when is chipotle ultra processed? Can we be a littler more responsible about how we talk about things so that we don’t make the fight harder since just convincing people that ultra processed food is shitty.
Not if everything is the max then there it’s all just noise that’s gets harder and harder not to just dismiss
It’s just hilarious they don’t understand a bay leaf, but as Randal said that one time, they are one of today’s 10,000
Finding out how things get flavoured is a great learning experience when you are 5 or going on 85
Can we be a little more compassionate and kind to each other, even the people that will never see us or know how we respond. Just makes you a more pleasant and wonderful person
- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 4 weeks ago:
West coast Canadian who is proud of Canada’s French history but can’t speak French.
Language needs to be used in daily life for a lot of people.
I’ve met countless immigrants who can’t speak very good English after being here for years because they just don’t speak it at home, only when they need to put in public.
Which is no different than me learning French from grade 6 to 8 and not being able to learn it, though I do understand it more than I expected that one time I was in Quebec City for 2 weeks (absolutely lovely city, and the Thai soup I had from Don Vegan, the cities first vegan only restaurant, was the best Thai soup I’ve ever had. DELICIOUS! But I digress) It’s just a symptom of not needing it in your life because I’m just not around it. I’m not a super outgoing person either and I’ve never been good at getting a conversation going so my own hurdles are certainly part of this, but I’ve worked with a lot of immigrants and I think in spite of my bias, it’s pretty accurate.
America isn’t much different in that regard, unless you are on a southern border there’s significantly less opportunity to have other languages be part of the fabric of the average americans personal lives. Not impossible but just a lot less likely

The best Thai soup I ever had was from a place called Don Vegan in Quebec City. It was absolutely amazing. Still love a good beef dip though

- Comment on Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children 1 month ago:
I’m not saying it wasnt trained on csam or defending any AI.
But your point isn’t correct
What prompts you use and how you request changes can get same results. Clever prompts already circumvent many hard wired protections. It’s a game of whackamole and every new iteration of an AI will require different methods needed bypass those protections.
If you can ask it the right ways it will do whatever a prompt tells it to do
!You can’t tell it to make a nude image of a child, I assume, but you can tell it make the subject in the image of the last prompt 60% smaller and adjust it as necessary to make it believable.!< That probably shouldnt work but I don’t put anything passed these assholes.
It doesn’t take actual images/data trained if you can just tell it how to get the results you want it to by using different language that it hasn’t been told not to accept.
The AI doesn’t know what it is doing, it’s simply running points through its system and outputting the results.
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 1 month ago:
You are most likely correct that it’s too early to say. I don’t have a problem conceding that point to you.
I think Reddit did shoot itself in the foot though, regardless of if they are still around. I don’t know that they will ever be able to regain what it has lost.
As a Reddit refugee myself I can say that for me they absolutely fucked over the chance to have me return to their platform, and many if not most of other refugees I’m guessing would share a similar opinion
