Glassdoor officially became dead to me last year, when they made everything “opt out” in terms of privacy. It made the rounds and I know they lost a good chunk of reviewers. With this it makes sense, engagement is probably low and they’re desperate to bring numbers up.

Screw them, they became company focused instead of user focused, there’s zero reason to give them reviews anymore. Companies can pay to remove reviews, they are not as private, there’s no reason.

Marketers explicitly and silently rebranded AI to AGI, a term that I think was literally just made up. I think they should have been reversed, llma deserve a new term, but not AI.

But you see that wasn’t the problem. The problem was that they knew some new term would fall flat. They wanted investors frothing at the mouth - so they just changed the definition of AI to make that happen.

One thing I’ve been reading is how the younger generations haven’t grown up with what we call traditional technology. There are people entering the workforce who have used iPads for most of their lives and don’t know what a directory structure is, or a file share, or basic word/excel/pp skills. Think about it, iPads made it so easy by showing most recent items that they don’t even really know ehat folders are.

Those are all things I took in my first few computer classes. How to make a word doc. Basic formulas in excel. How to make a PowerPoint do a star wipe. Those are real tangible skills that everyone should know entering the workforce. Then, if people show a talent for it, I would encourage them to pursue something like programming.

People here are suggesting low level things like bash scripting because it’s what we know and think is important, but for most people it’s things like how are files stored, and how do I sum a column in excel?

Agree, hr is more or less a one stop shop to being fired. Op is right, they’ll immediately label you someone who is willing to speak up, what’s the addage? The beach who perks up gets pruned. HR isn’t necessarily there to protect the company, but the status quo. They don’t want anyone making noise, else it is bad for everyone.

Yeah people did this in drive thrus and thought they were being cute. It’s real cute until the next person ordered 6x as much as you did.

A nice thing to do is to see a mother struggling to pay for her groceries and offering to step in and to put them on yours. Paying it forwards sets off a weird chain of guilt that is not as nice.

I’m sure they’re shaking in their boots from the prospect of a 10 million dollar fine.

I’ve learned all AI marketing is greatly embellished, focusing only on best cases. Sure, it can solve a coding problem, if you work on prompt for an hour, give excruciating detail, and run it a few dozen times

the bill that was passed essentially said that warrants are no longer needed for data because “save the children”.

That’s what annoyed me about minio. Started super crazy simple to set up, but I missed two updates and came back to AWS levels of mandatory configuration. Ffs I chose you because you were simple, not because I needed to replace s3

I haven’t been there in over a year now, but it sounds about the same as it was then.

Here on Lemmy we just defederate with horrible instances and start our own communities!

This is one of those things I stay out of.

It’s not healthy for kids. But they enjoy it. But it’s definitely used by China for spying. But people should know better than to put private stuff on there.

However the bill I’m against, they put a lot of internet spying in there too in the name of saving the children. So…

Yeah we’ll just see how it turns out

Backed into a corner? Don’t know how to make an argument? Hey we’ve all been there. Just say it’s about the children! That means you get to win!

I don’t care for google’s latest tech pet project. I would downvote it on reddit or here. It’s not revolutionary tech, and knowing Google they’ll decommission it in 2 years anyway. So, I downvote.

I up vote things I find interesting. This is not one of those things.

Looking at your past posts you have a lot of good ones, the elastic one is really interesting. Idk why you’re upset about one dude, overall your posts have been good. Don’t let one unpopular post rile you up.

Personally, I am playing Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 on easy. They come from an era where if you aren’t suffering through it then you must really suck. Personally, I don’t have time to fight the same boss for an hour only to die when he gets down to the last 5% and start over again, I only get a few hours after work to game. However, the story is honestly pretty good, and I recommend them - if you play on easy.

I’m pretty sure I saw a documentary about doing this exact thing back in 2003…

I used to be more optimistic and would have said no before, but Trump really embodies the collective selfishness and fear that half of my country has. Half of our country really is “I got mine” thinkers.

You know most modern trucks have a smaller bed than that little truck? Modern trucks are just minivans for insecure men.

Sorry, in America they tell you what you want, and they’re telling us you don’t actually want that. (And don’t you dare try to import one from Europe or somewhere else, they made that illegal)

And no modern truck owners remember those little trucks. They think being a truck owner means you have to have the biggest most ridiculous truck out there. Personally, I’d love it there was a smaller ranger sized EV truck. I’d buy one of those tomorrow if they gave up on massive monsteosities

I swear the number of car-brained people who have told me (when discussing a pedestrian or child death in a car):

Well what were they doing in the road???

Why the FUCK does it matter what they were doing in the road. I don’t care where the parents were. I don’t care what they were doing there. There is no excuse, I don’t care if it’s the freaking freeway, if you see someone you stop. But these people can’t even see over their hoods so they have no clue there’s even someone there, so they’ve shifted all blame to the other person. It couldn’t be my fault, it must be there’s!

Fuck I’m so mad at them, and the auto industry is also to blame for promoting that way of thinking. "If you’re in an auto accident, your family will be safe. Just fuck those other people right?)

It’s America’s selfishness, just blatantly on display.
