why are (some) extroverts like this?

I sometimes do this too even though I’m very introverted. I do this because I want to feel useful with the experience I gained and it just feels like a waste sitting on some knowledge and not being able to do something with it.

It’s a really cool thing if you can help someone. And some people have such a need for this, either they completely forget they were very explicitly not asked, and some will ignore it, just in the hopes they get to contribute.

Funnily enough I get to see both sides, because I also sometimes get an answer from multiple people, so I’ve learned how to handle it to some degree.

The best thing to do is not to tell them to shut up, but to acknowledge it and then explicitly say “also wanna hear from [experienced] person as well on this though.”

I feel so sorry for the onion.

It’s about the dangers of misuse of AI too. That’s pretty on point I would think.

Phoria - saving us a riot

My comfort song :)

Also it’s very relaxing and I think that’s a good thing for my peers lol.

You’re screwed dude

Harsh, but from what I see I agree, fixing it might be harder than redoing it, and covering it up if it looks good is the easiest solution you have

Asterisk on that - I consider black forest’s image generation models to be leading, and their pro variants are commercial only.

That said everything else has leading models that are all open source I think, except for ChatGPT which is becoming obsolete right now.

This news cycle is one hell of a nothing burger.

Don’t like it, can’t change a lot of it.

Some stuff I can replace with open source software, but a lot of stuff will always be proprietary and opaque. I kinda just have to deal with that.

2.5/10 joke, really not hitting the right humor for this community.

Could have had more uniqueness.

5/5 thick french accent but most genuine conversations I’ve had in like 5 years at work. Sad he’s gone now, but will discuss Stromae on the clock again when he visits.

Hopefully this makes some of the Firefox shills finally realize it’s time to change our recommendations.

I’ve heard so much shit lately about Firefox, it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

In every evaluation Reuters was the only one reported slightly left leaning. AP is very dry and fact-based and therefore neutral, CNN is neutral to slightly right leaning iirc. News Max and OAN are both strongly right leaning.

Fox News is also still strongly right leaning. Tell me one time Fox News tried to push for equality, gun control, or universal basic income. Instead you can find pro gun content, strong defenses for very conservative politicians who are periodically being given a platform and they are regularly talking about how businesses should get more financial aid.

My guy, we can politically disagree but there is not a universe in which fox news is left leaning. Objectively not.

To me it’s just a passion some ppl have. I used to be more into it (never did it), but as with every passion, you can get blinded by the flashiness of the people who wanna sell you a specific technique or way to do something.

I think you are right, one can get trapped very easily in the pitfalls of the superhuman, but the actual benefits are rooted in the basic.

Other examples: there’s a lot of benefits to general fitness exercises, but the fitness bros will sell you their one and only way to get extremely muscular (which most people don’t even start out striving for). Or games, where people push you to be the very best, although the actual benefit is in having fun and keeping your brain sharp. Or creative hobbies, where a lot of people strive for the spotlight, but the actual benefit is when you do it for yourself and do what you want, regardless of what other people think.

It’s a hard balance but I guess that’s just life.

everyone has at least 20 minutes […] every day.

No.

A lot of people do, but a lot of people don’t.

They may have months without any time surplus. And then maybe some months where they do have a significant time surplus.

But never assume everyone has the same time to dedicate to things.

My mom is currently working 50h weeks and I’m sure that’s on the lower end for some people. I’d prefer her to focus on not getting burnout so she is able to survive a bit longer, and that means she physically can’t.

There’s always a risk but considering currently there’s no incentive for ppl to invest their time and sanity, I think you’re fine.

Unless you do stupid things. No one is liable if you do stupid things :)

Windows.

My hobbies and my work require a lot of different software. On MacOS everything would be expensive af and not customizable at all.

On Linux only 50% of the stuff would work, only 50% of that would work well and stable, and only 50% can be installed in less than 3h. And I need my software to be up and running in 7 days not 5 months.

I put this in another post as well, but the toxic positive endorsements of Linux really tick me off. If you use it, cool. If you like it, cool. If you wanna tell others it’s nice, cool.

But if you have to tell ppl how they are using the wrong OS, windows, on almost completely unrelated posts, you make ppl dislike the Linux community, you downplay that Linux can be a serious commitment and that mileage may vary, speaking from experience. You are doing an active disservice to everyone.

Everyone has their own os, and just how I can appreciate that ppl have good reason to use MacOS, Linux Users should be able to appreciate that ppl like me can not switch and even if they do, it is often not worth it in any way.

Also if I get down votes so be it, I think this just needs to be said rn. No hate for anyone using any OS, in fact I’m curious about the other comments:)

Idk, every company is different and so is every country.

But let me also make clear, I’m not arguing this isn’t odd. Just some things to rule out before going mayhem.
