In what way is working a more physically demanding job “advancing yourself”?

Besides, I’d also argue that most customer facing jobs are just as demanding as most physical trade jobs. They just fuck you up mentally instead of physically.

Not even degrees mean much anymore, a lot of job positions require one cause they can, not cause you’d actually benefit from that knowledge. Spending all that time and money to get a piece of paper can Aldo hardly be called "advancing yourself’.

You will still get residue on your walls over time. Doing it once won’t cause harm, but prolonged indoor use is just shitty for everyone.

Nah, not even the basic “its capitalism” excuse works anymore for that idiocracy. Capitalism may force companies to increase earnings, which is already stupid enough in itself, but the timeframe that’s measured in got reduced so much in the last few years that even short term goals are impossible without cutting costs.

Ten years ago monthly earnings were at most an indicator, what mattered most were fiscal years. It slowly evolved to quarterly earnings and now we are at a point were a single “bad” (as in, not as much profit as last month) can plunge your stock prices by 10+%.

Yes capitalism always fucked over the working class, bit it wasn’t made to force big, profitable companies to self destruct for 0.5% higher monthly profits.

One candidate was waivering between 13 and 17…

Pleas tell me that’s a joke. Or were they trying to switch fields and were a baker or something before? I just can’t accept that someone that would struggle with that question, even in a stressfull situation, ever took a single comp science class.

Autism and adhd are classified as disorders instead of diseases for a reason. Disorders per definition disrupt normal/expected body functions and don’t necessarily have any underlying cause. Neurological disorders are just a collection of issues that disrupt your ability to take part in society as the majority would expect.

And anyone struggling with it will tell you that, while it may have been normal human behaviour a few hundred years ago, its fucking exhausting to get trough life with it in this age.

I know where you are coning from. With how much shits hitting the fan right now I don’t know if I’d want that lable on me officially. But at the same time does getting diagnosed open up a way to easier help and accommodation for issues that are 100% real.

That doesn’t mean you get accepted in a country just cause you can speak it.

I could have made some insane cash selling this but no amount of money will stand between me and my determination against Microsoft.

There is no better motivator than pure anger and spite.

Yes they do change, but they do so slowly over time.

The main issue was how jarring the change felt and how wierd it was that your leader was some famous person that’s not connected to your civ. You are essentially playing Gandhi that is leading the mayas just to then change into England one turn later.

And we can assume it’s not a city bus, because it says school bus.

That’s such an american thing to say. School and city buses are the same thing in a lot of the world. Sometimes they are chartered by the school with public funds, sometimes they are just normal bus lines that have additional timeslots before and after school.

And even school uses itself vary a lot by each countrie. The US has these yellow monsters while a lot of Asian countries use small vans as buses.

That doesn’t really help this issue though

Security wise Fairphone isn’t up to GOS standards, so a collaboration wasn’t on the table either way.

If said standards are reasonable is a difficult thing to say. A few years ago I would’ve said that a normal person doesn’t need to be concerned that the police tries to break into their phone, but with the current state of things and the increasing rise of fascism, I’m not so certain anymore.

You’ve never broken your ankle I see.

The problem is that they kept on forcing stuff into it till it became a bloated monster.

When teams was the replacement for Skype, it was pretty much just that, a chat and call app.

Now you have chats, calls, teams that are automatically their own SharePoint (not to confuse with the SharePoint sites themselves), contacts, calendar (synct with outlook, but completely different ui and functions), planner (not to confuse with to-do, stuff in the planer can show up in to-do, but not vice versa), power automate integration, power apps integration (that only work half the time cause of missing user rights), OneNote integration (at least that one still has its own app), and a plethora of different apps you can link.

The files in the individual teams take ages to load, the UI changes every few days for the sake of it, basic features break for no apparent reason, calls randomly don’t connect, sound in and output breaks repeatedly.

Its a slow and cluncky mess of different apps tacked onto each other, just so MS can say that they have an app for that instead of forcing you to use the browser interface.

It depends which one people use

It really doesn’t. Pretty much all models so far loose their guardrails once you are deep enough in the conversation. There were multiple news articles about ai giving someone the go ahead to off themselves.

and how it’s used

No matter which way you use it its bad. If you ask it for tips, you are essentially asking the average redditor for mental health advice. If you use it for conversations, you are forming a parasocial relationship with an AI that will constantly get things wrong you told it about before while reinforcing whatever worldview you have. The only thing that would slightly help is supervision by a human, but that would make the whole exercise redundant.

Do you think that comment should be applied to disabled people who can’t access any other form of therapy?

If they were desperate enough to be forced into using AI, then that above comment wouldn’t apply to them, but instead to the ones that are responsible for the broken system in the first place.

People that need therapy are one of the groups that should be kept away from ai as fr as possible.

AIs are yes-man, they agree with most of what you say. You really think its a good idea to reinforce the bad worldview or sense of self someone that desperately needs therapy most likely has.

If we add up all their subsidies, bailouts and hand-waved fines, we probably end up pretty close to that amount

And everyone on this side of the pond said I’m overreacting by calling trumps immigrant detention centers “concentration camps”, but here we are. Even the Nazis didn’t start as fast with their genocide as the orange turd seems to try.

What are they supposed to do when the police comes knocking with a warrant, not comply until they get shutdown for good?

Besides, afaik there has never been any instance where proton handed over any of the supposedly encrypted data like VPN traffic and EMails. They usually hand over the contact information that’s part of the payment process people use, the stuff they are legally required to keep for 5+ years even if you send them a gdpr deletion request.

There was a lot of questionable stuff said and done by the board members and I’m really annoyed that they fight against ads but have the audacity to regularly send promotions themselves.

But in terms of data safety they do exactly what they advertise, keeping everything on their servers private.

Ever lived next to someone that was smoking at home? The smoke doesn’t care about property borders and will find its way into neighboring apartments and yards.

The only way to smoke without bothering anyone is if you live somewhere in the woods in bumfuck nowhere.

Once your law covers all eventualities regarding this, its so convoluted that banning is the better option.

Nicotine can stay legal, but smoking anything should still be banned. Not because its a drug, but rather cause its detrimental to the health of anyone around you.

You can fuck up your own life, I don’t care, but smoking hurts a lot more people than just yourself.

And no, only smoking in your own backyard doesn’t work either. Anyone that’s ever lived next to a smoker knows that the smog doesn’t care about your imaginary borders.
