Damn that was an awesome watch. Came for the meme, stayed for the 40 minute documentary.

thanks_shakey_snake,

This is going to get soooo much more treacherous as this becomes ubiquitous and harder to detect. Apply the same pattern, but instead of wood carvings, it’s an election, or sexual misconduct trial, or war.

Our ability to make sense of things that we don’t witness personally is already in bad shape, and it’s about to get significantly worse. We aren’t even sure how bad it is right now.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Exactly-- They’re two sides of the same coin. Being convinced by something that isn’t real is one type of error, but refusing to be convinced by something that is real is just as much of an error.

Some people are going to fall for just about everything. Others are going to be so apprehensive about falling for something that they never believe anything. I’m genuinely not sure which is worse.

thanks_shakey_snake,

And it almost certainly will. Perhaps has already.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Great summary 👏 I definitely have some cached thoughts about that era, but didn’t remember it that clearly. That WP page with the actual PowerPoint slides is wild.

thanks_shakey_snake,

That is correct.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Why so serious?

thanks_shakey_snake,

There are lots of reasons to want fewer spam bots and verified identities other than cost.

thanks_shakey_snake,

For anyone who can’t tell the difference: The OLED is the one that’s next to the other one.

thanks_shakey_snake,

NB: While barbers mostly work with men’s hair, and stylists mostly work with women’s, the jobs themselves are not gendered-- Lots of female barbers and male stylists. Some of the most famous stylists, like Vidal Sassoon for example, are male. Famous barbers are less of a thing, but on the total other end of the spectrum, the barber college in my area has a pretty even gender balance.

thanks_shakey_snake,

That’s the best! I hardly ever downvote just cause I disagree-- Most of my downvotes are because I think someone is being mean or antagonistic.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Yeah lol it’s almost always ironic-- “You do this thing for some normal reason. I do it for a weird reason that may reveal a salient character flaw.”

If somebody did use it to actually self-elevate or gatekeep, that would be pretty cringe. But almost all of the usage I see is ironic.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Your YouTube link should have been a Piped link but it’s okay.

You’re free to enjoy the lemmit.online content, but don’t interact with it or you will appear confused.

Don’t stress about upvotes/downvotes-- They’re even more made up here than usual.

Never pass up an opportunity to bitch about ads, Chrome, Reddit, capitalism, Arch users, streaming services, or your favorite Lemmy client.

Do not attempt the Picard Maneuver unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing.

thanks_shakey_snake,

I know you just got it, but do you think you’re ever gonna give it up?

thanks_shakey_snake,

Thanks for being no strangers to love, gang :)

thanks_shakey_snake,

Why did you switch?

thanks_shakey_snake,

Personally whichever cook’s flyers say they’re throwing a “Soup Coup,” that’s who I’m on board with.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Keep phighting the good phight ✊

thanks_shakey_snake,

Wow, I’m really sorry that happened to you. I hope you can reasonably expect now that it won’t get worse, at least?

Is there such a thing as a privacy-respecting secret Santa platform?

I’ve been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to...

thanks_shakey_snake,

I can code and could almost certainly make it quickly. I’m between jobs and was looking for a side project anyway. Tell me how you want it to work and I’ll bang it out in a couple of days. Also gonna need some name ideas.

thanks_shakey_snake,

And they seem to be outward facing…? Designed to briefly blind its enemies so it can escape, maybe?

thanks_shakey_snake,

Never had this on Thunder or Connect.

thanks_shakey_snake,

I got by with one set until I started DMing. Ever since then, dice make up about 70% of my carbon footprint.

thanks_shakey_snake,

It’s not a single issue, though-- It’s many:

  • Inflation, especially cost of necessities (groceries, etc.)
  • Buying property is well out of reach for many people
  • Renting property is increasingly out of reach for many people
  • Stagnant or declining job markets
  • Interest rates and the cost of debt
  • (To a lesser extent) Carbon taxes and cost of energy

And so on. Those problems are related in many ways, and well-summarized by the umbrella term “cost of living,” but I think it’s a mistake to think of it as a single issue… Both in general, and in the context of “single-issue elections.”

thanks_shakey_snake,

Or perhaps like the envy-inducing low cost and high standards of service of ICBC.

thanks_shakey_snake,

You should keep working on it! Your story is worth telling even if someone else wants to tell a similar one. There might not be as much overlap as you think.

thanks_shakey_snake,

I feel like this dog is expressing the opposite of the intended message.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Imperceptible until about size 14 or so.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Oh trust me, it would feel significantly more uphill if your arch was the Linux kind.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Is good tree.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Spinosaueus Aegyptiacus roamed the earth long before Jesus Christ did so I’m pretty sure this is the original.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Not to mention cases where they demonetize a video/channel and still run ads on it 🙄

Apparently the content isn’t advertiser-friendly enough to pay the creators, but it IS advertiser friendly enough to advertise on.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Joke about vim commands

thanks_shakey_snake,

Sleep is sooo important you guys. And science says exercise is actually really good for you. Make sure to get lots of natural sunlight. Take time for you. Have you considered journaling?

Anyway here’s my website and a link to a book that I wrote (digital only). Thanks for the $8000 and have a blessed day!

thanks_shakey_snake,

I’m irrationally agitated about Scale and Rotation involving a translation and that this is not called out in the meme.

Like it looks like “translation” is just “nothing happens” and this is going to bother me all day please help.

thanks_shakey_snake,

R e a l l y?

I believe you, but what do I need to read to understand why that is?

thanks_shakey_snake,

I think I know what you mean, but is there any point you can rotate around to get that transformation without a translation? Where would that point need to be?

thanks_shakey_snake,

Oh wow that video is actually really good. I was hoping there would be 100 more like it on that channel, but it looks like kind of a one off.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Best summary of NFTs I’ve seen

thanks_shakey_snake,

If they just showed the password rules on the login page, this would happen 80% less often to me.

thanks_shakey_snake,

If they have inconvenient expectations, simply tell them to not have those! If your boss pushes back, just tell them in a calm but assertive tone that you tell them how things are gonna go, not the other way around.

I don’t understand why more people who have not been fired don’t do this.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Paywall?

Does anybody else continue to frequent Reddit, albeit without an account?

There are simply some communities I can’t find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I’d much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Sometimes, but only in one narrow way: Reddit shows up in search results for me, and sometimes I specifically ask it to.

Like “is product X any good?” gives me garbage marketing and clickbait, so I try “is product X any good? site:reddit.com” and I find some helpful threads, often several years old.

But yeah, not logged in, not interacting.

thanks_shakey_snake,

They did do management-- They modeled the whole company as individual “staff” communicating with each other: CEO-bot communicates a product direction to the CTO-bot who communicates technical requirements to the developer-bot who asks for a “beautiful user interface” (lol) from the “art designer” (lol).

It’s all super rudimentary and goofy, but management was definitely part of the experiment.

thanks_shakey_snake,

What does it even mean for a programming language to “satisfy the new user’s demand?” Like when has the user ever cared whether your app is built in Python or Ruby or Common Lisp?

It’s like “what notebook do I need to buy to pass my exams,” or “what kind of car do I need to make sure I get to work on time?”

Yet I’m 100% certain that real human executives have had equivalent conversations.

thanks_shakey_snake,

It was testing that the code worked, of course :) That was the only place that had human intervention, other than a) providing the initial prompt, and b) providing icons and stuff for the GUI, instead of using generated ones. That was the “get out of jail free” card:

In cases where an interpreter struggles with identifying fine-grained logical issues, the involvement of a human client in software testing becomes optional. CHATDEV enables the human client to provide feedback and suggestions in natural language, similar to a reviewer or tester, using black-box testing or other strategies.

Nothing helps me complete typical home tasks like avoiding a work deadline

I will let go of all my normal home maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, taking out the trash, changing bed sheets, etc., until I have a deadline for work approaching. All of a sudden, I have all the energy in the world to focus on said tasks while I avoid the looming deadline that I must absolutely accomplish if I...

thanks_shakey_snake,

And nothing helps me get going on a work task like having urgent house stuff that needs doing.

thanks_shakey_snake,

I think you’re using the word “relevant” in an overly restrictive way. It can be relevant but still not justify the park job.
