True for hackers… Somehow it started my career… but snow crash feels a bit like Uber-gig which isn’t what I would look forward to.

As a 80s kid I don’t recall being hyped. If anything all sci-fi books were warnings for us. Younger generations embraced the black mirror shit thought.

No surprise seeing the right voting for that shit. Tells me all I need to know about the actual motives….

Yeah I could NEVER ask for any of that. I’m in a critical infrastructure industry but not healthcare though.

You sure they are not bullshitting you instead of admitting they can’t proceed with you for some reason?

Damn. I’m not familiar with their specifics. Still generally we have strong worker protections this side and crap like this typically isn’t flying.

Some stuff is hard to get like full remote if you’re not within the country though. Asking my guys to work exceptionally on weekends I could see but they can totally tell me to fuck off without any sort of grudge.

It’s true that importing talent is hard though, it can take a while for the whole sponsorship file to be built.

I wish you good luck with the whole process. If you apply in Belgium next time I’ll be able to provide more insight.

Uh. 80k is rather senior. Strange that they are playing you like that. Or 80k was never on the table. Hiring intermediaries are REALLY shit these days, especially those relying on LinkedIn. They straight up lie some. What country were you aiming for? It seems recare exists in half of Europe in a form or another.

Yeah but as an internal employee or as a contractor ? Those are very different statuses with enormously varying conditions.

80k? As a contractor or an employee?

Nha boomers are not the cause for this shit. Smart ass marketeers and tech bro pushing for more precise target identification and thus more reach for them are to blame. And those I stumble upon are definitely on the younger side.

It’s both been there forever and also I keep buying it on all new devices…

Nice :)

Yeah being European doesn’t mean someone will let go a good business opportunity… We’ll see others follow with similar increases unless the European stance on territoriality changes again.

Well yeah but you that feels like a rather elaborate architecture.

Plus what about costs: storage and bandwidth costs quite a lot when looking at meaningful volumes :-/

P2P is getting practical for nn streaming from what I’ve experienced lately given fiber and larger home storage but once you’re looking at niche / not popular content peers are scarce and suddenly it takes ages to get content delivered.

I’m no OS fanatic… I run dozens of rhel servers at work, few windows ones, make music on Mac and play on steamOS and keep a windows on a box due to hardware limitations on music instruments.

So I’m no stranger to Linux.

With that in mind some packages are more of a pain to setup than others… and that one is not a good memory. I rolled back to plex in the end…

Plenty are running home servers from laptops, especially here on the fediverse that’s not unheard of… It should not make any difference what hardware he’s running for jellyfin. Still honestly not a pleasant experience to get it to run from what I recall.

On that we agree: we must get rid way from those companies. And if possible get more of the general public to join us here.

I would love to see the fediverse being improved along my lines though. That would only improve it, its appeal and overall reliance.

Yeah but is the value in the service or the userbase and the data though?

When instances are going down that is at risk and the current federated model isn’t helping that much. Look at lemmynsfw and the other community that went down no so long ago.

Data portability and user migration isn’t so much more evident here quite yet.

Better sure but not perfect.

Slop apologist because I argue that correctly using a tool to restructure pre-existing information I’m inputting under my oversight is risk free?

You crazy ass end-of-world lunatic…

As far as I know slop always presupposes generation of derivatives, not restructuring or manipulation. You argue out of your ass and that’s just a bad opinion.

Nha that’s just plain wrong…also you can also fantastically screw flying a plane but so long you use LLMs safely you’re golden.

It also has no will on its own; it is not « working against you ». Don’t give those apps a semblance of intent.

LLM’s specifically bc ai as a range of practices encompass a lot of things where the user can be slightly more dumb.

You’re spot on in my opinion.
