- Comment on AI slows down some experienced software developers, study finds 4 days ago:
They wanted someone with experience, who can hit the ground running, but didn’t want to pay for it, either with cash or time.
- cheap
- quick
- experience
You can only pick two.
- Comment on YSK: if you are visiting Puerto Rico from the mainland US, you can sign up to escort a rescue animal on your return flight to their adopter 4 days ago:
How does this work? I know that PR is an US territory but I imagine there are some quarantine procedures for animals.
Or has all of that been worked out already and you’re just the courier?
- Comment on Missouri AG: Any AI That Doesn’t Praise Donald Trump Might Be “Consumer Fraud” (No, Really) 4 days ago:
- the most felony convictions
- the most state and federal criminal investigations that are still open
- the most amount of diapers worn during a presidential term
- the first president in what 20 years to puss out and have his inauguration indoors
- the first president to have been a confirmed rapist
I’m going to speculate:
- the smallest penis
- the most obese
- the shortest
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 5 days ago:
I was having just this conversation with a friend of mine the other day. There is a level of net worth that once you hit it, it becomes exponentially harder to get out of poverty than someone who isn’t poor. And absolutely no amount of money can help them because unless you can stop the churn, all that money will just go toward the black hole of fees and other expenses.
- Comment on what 6 days ago:
Some sellers are delusional and think their house is special and that it will sell for more than they list, even expect it.
There have been times where I made an offer and the seller countered and based on their contingencies, I got the vibe that they were going to be an asshole through closing.
One seller even threatened to sue even though I was fully within my rights to walk away. My response to my agent was “tell them to serve me papers.”
Never heard from them again.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 1 week ago:
Not to defend this practice but my guess is that the firmware was released before Thanksgiving, but the owner didn’t turn on the grill until Thanksgiving, which is when the grill picked up the firmware.
Guy is still an idiot for buying a device that REQUIRES Internet access.
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 1 week ago:
Oftentimes, though schools don’t have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students.
And sadly, this is why schools are being defunded and requirements for teachers are simply “a warm body, but don’t be woke”.
Red states especially only want baby sitters because they want “education” to occur at church. With the DoE almost completely gutted, this problem is going to get worse and we’ll pay the price in about 10 years.
- Comment on Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes 1 week ago:
I think what makes enshittification is “give users less and charge more”. It’s about returning shareholder value instead of customer value.
Netflix is a great example. They have pulled back on content, made password sharing more challenging, and increased cost. They still report increases in paying users.
They’ve done the math. They know they can take lost in users because they know they’ll make up for it. That’s the sad part in all of this.

The line demands you cut costs but also increase service.
The line demands it go up. It doesn’t care how you get there. In many cases, decreasing service while also cutting costs is the way to do it so long as line goes up.

- Comment on Statement on Stop Killing Games - VIDEOGAMES EUROPE 1 week ago:
“many titles are designed from the ground-up to be rent seeking”
- Comment on Tractor eggs 1 week ago:
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Airplanes reproduce like salmon where they spray their sperm in the air so that receptive female planes absorb it through their skin.
That’s what chemtrails are.
- Comment on Hmmm who could it possibly be? 1 week ago:
This is the real LPT. Recruiters are so annoying to deal with. Avoid them if you can.
- Comment on Batman... Get In There And Do Something! 1 week ago:
I just rewatched The Dark Knight Rises.
I don’t remember this scene.
- Comment on Attorney General: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 1 week ago:
It won’t. To do so will require checks community instance server really big peaceful marches and flag waving.
- Comment on Ted Cruz's plan to punish states that regulate AI shot down in 99-1 vote 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 2 weeks ago:
ISPs already do that here in the states. The court case is to decide whether they should shut off access.
- Comment on Student visa applicants will now be forced to make their social media accounts public 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think Lemmy would count as social media but that said, you can easily create a dummy account that just, for example, posts pictures of moths or beans or bread or whatever.
- Comment on The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account. 2 weeks ago:
It’s almost like old school Google front page.
- Comment on Where are they? 3 weeks ago:
My problem is the seed shells. I have to take a shop vac to the ground cover or it dies from lack of sun.
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 3 weeks ago:
They aren’t. In fact, many of the MAGA Republicans have been pushing their pastors to stop being so “woke” and to teach “real” Christian values, i.e. oppressing people.
The sad thing is that these pastors are giving up their values and acquiescing.

Best Buy will accept most electronics for recycling.
- Comment on Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos 3 weeks ago:
My stab in the dark is to make asbestos lawsuits worthless.
If there is money to be made or saved by the capital class, you bet your ass Trump will make it happen.
- Comment on ..yeah 3 weeks ago:
Unless they have a plan on how they will continue to extract wealth after the working class is gone, then they are short sighted and will be food for the ultra rich who plan on exploiting them.
- Comment on Been a good couple of years 4 weeks ago:
trying not to poop
Why…were you trying not to poop? Or was this a meme I missed? I remember the beans.
Yeah, Lemmy had absolutely been great over the last year. 6-hour Top sorting is absolutely key here.
Is it a one-for-one replacement? No. There are a lot of communities that haven’t been able to come over effectively. But the main core communities have and it’s been fantastic.
- Comment on The female TikTokers silenced through murder 4 weeks ago:
There is a linear line from incel to alt-right neo-nazis. The ironic thing is that it happened before the rise of Nazi Germany and it’s happened again here in the US.
- Comment on climate.gov will stop publishing new content on July 1. 4 weeks ago:
This is, unironically, what conservatives think.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 4 weeks ago:
Adding to this, each word and words around it are given a statistical percentage. In other words, what are the odds that word 1 and word 2 follow each other? You scale that out for each word in a sentence and you can see that LLMs are just huge math equations that put words together based on their statistical probability.
This is key because, I can’t emphasize this enough, AI does not think. We (humans) anamorphize them, giving them human characteristics when they are little more than number crunchers.

- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 5 weeks ago:
It’s not about blocking porn.
It’s always about control. Conservatives want to control how you consume sexual content.
