- Comment on Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App 4 days ago:
Once you create a monetization team that puts ads in shit, they’re going to want to keep putting more ads in stuff. They’re all judged on how much better they do year over year.
Apple should’ve never created a team that sold ads on their platforms.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 1 week ago:
A chunk of people still use it to provide a counter narrative to the right wing propagandists. Kind of like when Buttigieg or Newsom go on Fox News.

IMHO, Apple just jumped onto a dumb dribbble trend that has been happening for a few years. Remove toolbars and put stuff in a small floating pane.
Seeing it in iOS will encourage more people to do this, but it’s not a trend Apple started. Their design team doesn’t have very many good original thoughts these days.

Ahh yes. The “put everything in a little pill” design trend.

- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 3 weeks ago:
Lemmy’s daily active user numbers are not big enough to be a worthwhile astroturfing target.
The real reason people shit on AI here is because it’s a platform with a bias toward people who are fairly tech savvy and or work in a technology field. Which is why every 3rd technology post here is a Linux circle jerk.
A lot of users here understand the technologies and are working in spaces where they’re being asking to “implement AI” by idiots who don’t understand the tech and aren’t trying to solve a user problem.

And of course, the video was preempted by an AI slop ad of a talking monkey wearing a neck brace.

!video@lemmy.world is a good one for stuff like this. That community loves their work.

Looks like it might be a building that has students in it. A lot of us probably had that college roommate that decided that their high school friend or the new person they were dating was going to visit and never leave.
They didn’t need sanctuary, they just had zero boundaries and respect for the other people in the home. And young people aren’t always the best at resolving those situations with candor, so they fester.
- Comment on This is real 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that might be what’s happening. I live in the city next to a university, and there are a lot of students in certain apartment complexes here. Moreover, that was also the case where I lived when I was in college. The adjacent cities had lots of students.
The owners of this building might also be actively advertising their apartments to students.
- Comment on This is real 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if this is being posted around student housing.
Given the language, adulting 101 talk, and the mention of a “community room,” this feels like it’s aimed at 18 year olds in student housing, or a city that revolves around a university.
Having people not on lease crash in student housing can lead to a lot of frustration for students using shared spaces.
I had some roommates have messy friends “crash” in their rooms for extended periods of time, and it ment that I had to effectively deal with a new shitty roommate that I didn’t sign up for. Not an uncommon thing.

I’ma take a wild guess - is this being posted in a college town? Because a lot of that looks like shit you would’ve needed to tell me when I was 19.

- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 3 weeks ago:
Agreed, but I do think that some jobs are just going to be gone.
For example, low level CS agents. I worked for a company that replaced that first line of CS defense with a bot, and the end-of-call customer satisfaction scores went up.
I can think of a few other things in my company that had a similar outcome. If the role is gone, and the customers and employees are being served even better than when they had that support role, that role ain’t coming back.

- Comment on Open Printer is a fully open-source inkjet with DRM-free ink and no subscriptions 3 weeks ago:
I love that they also designed some ways to save space. Most of us no longer live in a world where we print multiple times a week. Printers just sit around and take up space while they do nothing for month on end.
This thing is small, wall mountable, and you don’t need to store flat packed paper.
These folks should win a red dot design award for this. Really smart industrial design all around. They really solved a lot of different problems, not just the ink problem.
