Let’s not forget that all “return to office” mandates are really just a way for the C-suite to reduce headcount while appearing strong/decisive, avoiding negative press (and therefore spooking investors), and not having to pay severance.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a big fan of Teams. The fact that the software is named after a common organizational unit, and also a feature within the software is named after that same thing, is insane. Also, I haven’t seen such an unnecessary resource hog since the original Microsoft Edge.

It took me a minute to realize that “MVP” means “most valuable player” to most people.

Apparently I’ve been in tech far too long, and care about sports far too little.

Nachos!

As a former windows admin, I can attest to the fact that Windows was shitty code well before AI made it trendy to write shitty code.

A United Nations conference is scheduled to meet in one month

The lack of urgency here is unbearable. How many more kids will die over this one month?

That’s true! I supposed it would be more precise to say that all processes are files loaded to memory, but not all files loaded to memory are processes. Sort of like the whole arachnids / spiders situation.

I’d call that a file loaded to memory

I can’t believe these holocaust survivors are so antisemitic!

I’ll follow you into battle any day.

I had to look it up, and after reading a lengthily Wikipedia page on Greek mercenaries, I tried the second result: an XKCD comic I’ve seen before but had forgotten. So today, I’m one of the lucky 10,000 again.

I mean, it’s pretty easy to see “JD Vance” and a word that looks strikingly similar to “Trump”, and infer the meaning of that word to be some sort of a joke version of “Trump”.

I didn’t get the reference, but I do have basic reading comprehension.

An “AI” company who doesn’t want their content scraped? Say it ain’t so! /s

I just used Shottr to take a scrolling screenshot and captured the whole policy. I could OCR it, but I have no idea what to do with it from there…

TIL I learned

BRB right back, I need to use the ATM teller machine but I forgot my PIN identification number.

I think the best you could do would be to install a FOSS OS, a FOSS web server, and use a FOSS page builder or content manager.

Every accusation is a confession.

Objective truth.

I hope that !fuck_ai@lemmy.world is an exception!

I always called it “in-gen-ix”, which doesn’t even make sense now that I think about it.

The fediverse just doesn’t have the audience nor ease of use to be the smart investment for most people, at least in the short term.

In the long term, I believe the fediverse would be the right move. However most people struggle to think long-term outside of their own fields, and scientists are not immune to this phenomenon.

Yes it’s a bad thing. This legislation gives very broad power to the federal government to ban apps and platforms without any oversight. It might be TikTok today, but it could be Lemmy tomorrow.
