We've taken away this thing you've bought, here's a gift card so you can give us that money back again later.

tbf there's plenty of porn on former Twitter too

Lol why would Google pay billions for something that "promotes competition"? That's literally a lose-lose move. Shit suits say.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't the point of reusing plastic to prevent or reduce plastic waste and contamination? Not necessarily carbon itself.

So what's the best one then? Communism/ socialism didn't do very hot either. Unless there's been some obscure, ancient economic system that I'm not aware of, there hasn't been a non-theoretical economic system that's been better than capitalism yet, as flawed as it is.

I get there's abundant evidence of the issues of the current system and the degenerate strategies it allows, but "capitalism bad haha" is getting stale.

I swear to god if I have to remove Bing search bar from my desktop one more time...

This is not the way, it's better to work less hours per day than working more hours and fewer days. Productivity peaks at 6 hours, after that you're either less focused or just doing unproductive things. It's also gonna burn out harder.

I believe it should be A. People aren't moving, and the portal doesn't carry momentum. At most people would be appearing on the other side with very little delay between eachother resulting in the most recently teleported person violently pushing away the last one.

No one owns Lemmy, no one can appropriate it and say where on the political spectrum it lies, or gatekeep. That's the whole point of decentralization. Stop trying to do it.

Try Armored Core 6, 100% worth it day one

Lmao I was about to look into using that thing for work

The worst part about this is that it reminds me that I'm close to having lived the statistical half of my life, damn.

That's admittedly a great point. I think my record was either 12 or 16 hours a day, but it's incredibly exceptional. Anything above 8 hours of actual, productive work is the result of high enjoyment and focus or a deadline panic mode that's not sustainable. I think setting 6 hours as a baseline and being able to tweak from there would be ideal, but setting an expectation of over 8 hours as a tradeoff for fewer days is harmful imo.

No, no, the other grind!

The thing is, after enough digging you understand that LLMs are nowhere near as smart or as advanced as most people make them to be. Sure, they can be super useful and sure, they're good enough to replace a bunch of human jobs, but rather than being the AI "once thought impossible" they're just digital parrots that make a credible impersonation of it. The real AI, now renamed AGI, is still very far.

Depends. I did manage to build a positive self-image, but I'm still an introvert. Occasionally I jump right into things or manage social situations smoothly, sometimes I hesitate and sometimes it's awkward. I don't suffer from imposter syndrome anymore though, in fact I tend to do things I literally don't know how to do and learn while doing them, and that feels great.
