  sorry I should have added the alternative option of “is ignorant of the fact and should be expected to be able to figure that out”

  if somebody won’t think of how their actions affect others, fuck them.

  sure did. content of the photo is irrelevant to the comment being made about the content in the title

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IYKYK⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s the same company, is it not?

  seems pretty fucking relevant if so

  I do that, but it’s not working well enough. I can do both.

  same reason it’s allowed to have those blinding headlights (headlight?) and those face impaling rear corners

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the fiery, deadly crashes involving the Tesla Cybertruck: Cybertrucks have locked passengers inside and burned so hot they’ve disintegrated drivers’ bones.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  anyone that bought a cybertruck did so knowing full well that it’s a giant “fuck everybody but me” vehicle

  I have no sympathy for them. their victims, yes. the owner, not at all.

  nah that’s just the horror font

  or something idk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I see this opinion quite a bit. I also see the opinion that I’m about to give you quite a bit.

  I think the ending was fitting. Life goes on, not everything has a spectacular ending. Yet we go on.

  I think I related to the game quite well because I finally played it after ending a long-term relationship. I think it actually helped me process some stuff - not that I couldn’t without it, but it maybe helped bring it out into the open.

  TIL microslop provided a video editing tool post 2020

  TIL it’s been enshittified to the point of not bothering to ever use it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of traffic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  at least some of this has to be because people use other search engines

  Google search doesn’t actually return useful material anymore

  at best this is not losing at this very moment

  how fast can it go and how much does it weigh?

  I think that you’ll find you don’t enjoy when 20 kg of steel comes barrelling at your knees

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solid advice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  my friends want to do zwift rides at 8pm at the earliest. I’ll drink at least 1.5L of water in a 45 minute ride. I’m up pissing until 11.

  their schedule simply does not work for me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dumb glasses⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CEO Asks ChatGPT How to Void $250 Million Contract, Ignores His Lawyers, Loses Terribly in Court⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  simply being an asshole and not caring about how your actions affect other people can get you surprisingly far in life

  just imagine all the time that you save if you never return your shopping cart, or park anywhere you want, or butt to the front of lines

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  no no no you misunderstand, this is another mirror of desire

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  also Canada. because we don’t use metric in contexts like this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Firefox as a PDF reader at work. it’s better than Adobe Reader or Chrome, and it’s good enough, so I haven’t bothered finding something else.

  I deal with secure information sometimes, in PDF form. I haven’t even considered that this information might not remain local.

  and when you do call it out, other consumers make fun of you and tell you you’re being annoying and to get with the times

  see: LED headlights

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  the way private companies work is that they require their employees to produce more than is reasonable given the work quality that is expected.

  when this discrepancy is pointed out, it’s handwaved away. when the discrepancy results in problems, as it most obviously will, somebody is found to place the blame on.

  it’s not the developer’s faults. it’s a management decision.

  source: I’m talking out of my ass I’m just a salty employee who is seeing this happen at their own workplace when it didn’t used to, at least not to this level

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not a developer, but:

  I told the owner of the company recently that, and I quote, “I will fucking kill myself if my job becomes reviewing AI output”

  lol yeah, I am in a position where I can say stuff like that. also he generally tends to listen as long as people actually have a point. but he is super pro AI.

  he didn’t really have a response to it. he doesn’t seem to get that not everything needs to be AI. he thinks it will enable people to do more better work, and kind of seems to ignore the possibility that not everybody will get to use it like he does - some people will have to validate the output. he seems to think that it will get to the point where people don’t need to validate the output, it will be like entering numbers into a calculator and the result is trusted (or, at least certified good enough).
