"Because #AI the 4 day work week can come true".

This is bullshit. Recent studies show that we could feed and house and take care of literally _everybody_'s needs with everyone just working 30% of what we consider "full time" today. We literally could all work less than 2 days every week and be fine. Capitalism just doesn't allow for that conceptually. Don't fall for that bogus argument.

folks, I know that jackass is talking shit about wikipedia and that makes it easy to say “oh go give wikipedia monies!” but as of June 30, 2024, the Wikimedia Endowment’s net assets were $144.3 million. give money to people who need groceries instead.

The worst thing is that people make what seems like informed choices when buying - "good" brands, expensive models, recommendations from press.

But those rules no longer work in a world where brands change hands, software updates constantly, and the device has to be compatible with everything else you own.

Explaining this is hard.

you think about how gameboy tetris has a high score board but no persistent memory

I love how the pandemic happened with the absolute worst waves over late December and early January and covid never went away and how big in-person events in January never changed a goddamn thing. They're still just in January at the height of plague season and they don't bother with masks or ventilation. Good job guys, you've learned absolutely nothing. 👏

First hike in a while. Forest smells and the sights were amazing! #Trees #Waterfall #Forest #Nature #AltText

Altijd leuk om boodschappen bezorgd te krijgen die je al een tijdje geleden had besteld.

Anna van vorige week vroeg zich blijkbaar af hoe lang de oven non-stop aan kan voor hij het opgeeft.

If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.

Am I dreaming or was there a version of uno that had an electronic device you put the cards in and it would throw them at you when you had to draw

Edit: “uno attack”, thank you wise ones of fedi

Ruby and #Rails #jobs don't just have a junior problem. They also have a cross-training problem. Companies claim to have trouble hiring senior software engineers. Their job ads reveal why.

They aren't just asking for seniors--they're asking for years of experience in their specific tech stack. If you're having trouble finding workers but you're turning down people with 10+ years of experience in other languages who want to move into #ruby, you're missing out!

It’s foggy out! Used the pen torch and noticed it was casting a beam so took some photos and videos of it.

The Braillnet project exists to this day, although the BBS and phone numbers are down, users can still access their e-mail, the personal websites the users could create under the Braillnet domain are still up serving software, literature and music created by the community and the FTP with anonymous access is a treasure trove of early notetaker goodies, DOS and early Windows software and useful information in txt files that would have been of great use to the community back then. Always worth exploring it with a translation service of your choice. http://braillnet.cz/sons/bplus.htm
