Yeah but it’s an awkward talk in the morning.

I get grumpy when I don’t sleep at home and I need to sleep with boxer briefs. It fucking sucks. Let me be an animal for the time I sleep at the very least please.

Is SimpleX based on Matrix? I have this recollection that it is, but I don’t if it’s a false memory or not.

Doctors are a product of their training. The issue is that doctors are trained like humans are cars and they have tools to fix the cars.

Human problems are complex and the medecine field is slowly catching up, especially medecine targetted toward women, which was pretty lacking.

It takes time to transform a system and we are getting there slowly.

My uneducated guess : they are bleeding money and need to show that it is slowly stopping and the trend is reversing.

Once that is done, pipe the IPO and make bank before it crashes and burn.

Yes, I’ve heard about that theory. The boot example is good because everyone can relate.

Unfortunately, like many jobs in the past, ours is changing.

I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what the future hold.

All we can do is be informed about LLMs and futur techs, produce the best outputs with the constraints we have and hope for the best.

Keep your skills up to date, and hopefully find a job where LLMs aren’t shoved down your throat. Or pivot towards something else.

Coachmen had to learn a new job, and it might be our turn.

I don’t hold a lot of hope for the next few years. It’s gonna be rough. All we can be is ready to the best of our abilities.

One caveat I would note: lots of people can’t afford expensive, durable appliances.

It’s expensive to be poor.

And for the rich that fucks other rich people.

You know why the code is wrong because you have the experience to see where the issue is and what it is.

If you’ve learned coding with LLMs from the start, you won’t acquire the experience needed to be able to tell what is wrong.

I’ve worked with a client that tried to generate code for a HCI bluetooth device, trying to recreate the full Bluetooth stack, instead of picking the right product from the start, with a working stack.

And that was a client that had technical knowledge, just not for Bluetooth and HCI.

And if you try to tell the AI what’s wrong, it will create bullshit code until it kinda works, adding more issues along the way.

I’m sure that AI will replace coders one day, but LLMs aren’t AI and they are neat ready to write decent, complex code.

It’s a mega corpo. Laws don’t apply to them silly you.

There is certainly a big part that can be attributed to imperialism, but my (uneducated) pet theory is that technocrats were able to harness the accessibility of big data after the great recession to siphon wealth from working class a lot more efficiently, by radicalizing people.

There had been a big leap from 2005 to 2015-2016 on computing power that enabled the widespread of big data and the corpos with the means to get in on it used it to further enrich their corporation and themselves and created this extremely toxic environment where everything is polarized and monetized.

And with big data, populists can change in real time their message so that they get more money and influence. And tribalism seems to work pretty fucking well. So they finetuned their message to radicalize people and achieve that goal.

People can isolate themselves into online communities that will echo and amplify their views of the world. And now they are pouring on the streets because they’ve became enough of a big group to do so.

Technocrats created this big machine to get rich, and the machine feed itself, giving more power to the ultra rich, which grab more power and influence by radicalizing people.

To be fair, far-right ideologies have been ramping up worldwide since a decade or two.

The current political context just embolden the far right actors to go mask off.

Depends on what access you have on your PC.

My two steps are always the same

1. debloater
2. i install chocolatey and use that to manage my applications if possible.

Then, depending on your work requirements, I would deactivate OneDrive if not used.

The typical customer service is 45 mins ++ of waiting on the line, to be greeted by an agent with a heavy Indian accent that will go through the script before having any chances to have a shot at maybe fixing your issue.

It’s a holdover from retail where had to physically hold your product and had limited space.

Now, the shareholders demand even more money and Apple has complete control on the OS and they are signaling that you can’t do shit and they will take whatever they want.

They can fight anyone in courts, and as long as the laws have no teeth, they will get away with it.

No worries, no offense taken.

Hopefully people will see discussions like ours and learn a little something about how things work.

“But it got electrolytes. That’s what plants crave”

I understand that. Just like Lemmy where all the instances that are federated have a copy of the posts and comments you make.

However, you have the option to create your own instance and federate or not with any community you want.

If there is one mega instance, deferating from it effectively kills the social media. Thus my train of thoughts.

More and more people are moving away from tech giants because of their shitty behaviour. So I think it is important to note how the data is used and stored, thus my follow-up question.

Thanks for the detailed response.
