What if we’re all AI?

Suddenly I’m even more glad I don’t live in the USA, jeez. Things seem to be getting worse and worse there.

Nope, EPYC is their server processors, not their consumer processors.

That may be, but I know my browsing history, even as I get older and older, and I am using StackOverflow hardly at all compared to ChatGPT which I am using almost a scary amount.

I know I am not the only developer, this is how things are going.

ChatGPT is a big, big part of it.

I feel really lucky that it doesn’t affect Zen 3 since that’s what I have lol but I’m sure they will find some similar bug for Zen 3.

Downsizing can look scary to investors though, like the company isn’t doing well.

And no engineering job I’ve ever applied for has had me fill out an “application”. That’s not a thing. And if some place weirdly has it, then send your resume somewhere else.

You mean you’ve never filled out one of those web forms asking like how many years of experience you have with X technology, what is your expected salary, when is your earliest start date, etc? When job hunting earlier this year I’ve found those to be incredibly common.

Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that’s particularly helpful as well.

I bet Google searching in general has gone down too. It’s often times quicker to just ask ChatGPT for an answer, and usually you can tell when an answer is correct or not. It’s like the old days of manually searching on Google for StackOverflow questions and then finding answers, and then trying to determine which one will work.

I’m so glad I work for a remote company that states in my employment contract my job is a remote job (or at least, it doesn’t specify in-office requirements), so if they ever try to force me to relocate, it would be considered a constructive dismissal and then I get to collect unemployment benefits until I find a new job. That probably won’t happen though cause we have people working all across the country. Though, this isn’t in USA so maybe things are different there.

Of course, always get your contracts reviewed by an employment lawyer.

It’s a constructive dismissal where I live, unless your employment contract specifies you must work in the office. If it doesn’t and you applied for and accepted a remote job, then you’re pretty much golden.

I’m not in USA though FWIW.

I know this is generally the case with lawyers getting all the settlement money, but I think due to people not signing up I actually recently got a $200 cheque from the Yahoo data breach settlement in the mail lol

Aren’t they lying? Or maybe they stepped it back from the horrible reception they got lol. Or maybe it was all just a big calculated move to get people to log into Ubisoft again and possibly buy more games.

I use X11/Xorg every day. It may not be the most modern thing ever, but it has absolutely every feature I want, and doesn’t have random apps like Synergy (sorry) that say “This app is not supported in Wayland”

Everybody has a breaking point, right? This could have been the breaking point for many people.

Hold up… You’re not actually saying that Chrome and Chromium will die out within a decade, and not only that, but YouTube only has a year or less left? I do not believe that at all lol

this guy is doing exactly what he wants to do and their goal is to make money not to lose them.

How does this make him money exactly? lol

He is literally just killing off his website.

It’s a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.

I’m sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.

I think more options and user choice is a good thing.

If he keeps doing this people are just gonna switch to Mastodon lol

If you want to talk about going from Reddit to Lemmy, probably lack of infinite scrolling, so I went ahead and made a Firefox addon called Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It’s 11 lines of code. It’s literally an addEventListener for the scroll event. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be approved and end up in the Firefox Add-ons store, so I won’t link it here, but it’s coming.

edit: A few hours later, it’s up to 40 lines of code because of handling race conditions. It should work well under normal use now but if people scroll too fast it could cause problems loading two pages ahead instead of one. It’s obviously not ideal compared to an official implementation but it’s something at least, unless it gets officially implemented in Lemmy before my add-on gets approved. lol
