There was a time back in maybe… 2009(?) when the UI was great. It made sense, you could do everything you could possibly want very easily. Then they broke everything I think around 2012 and completely revamped the UI, and it’s never been good ever since.
Glad I left it years ago.
“As a concrete example, an engineer at Spotify on their morning commute from Slack on their cell phone can tell Claude to fix a bug or add a new feature to the iOS app,” Söderström said.
Cool, so your goal is to replace your senior engineers with AI slop, but it’s still generating bugs? Doesn’t sound like much of an improvement.
“And once Claude finishes that work, the engineer then gets a new version of the app, pushed to them on Slack on their phone, so that he can then merge it to production, all before they even arrive at the office.”
Translation: Want to work as hard as a sole proprietor but not get paid like one? Great! You can work from your car while dealing with bullshit commuter traffic. Also, if you get into an accident, you can’t claim worker’s compensation or SDL, because you’re not technically on the job, yet! Thanks for being a team player!
Just (re)finished Myst III: Exile, and it’s still good.
Then again, what are eggs except chicken-beans?
What’s naive is assuming they’re just going to allow elections to happen, which I don’t. It’s not naive to fight against that effort and continue to hope for a nonviolent solution.
I get that everything sucks, but we are not yet at the point where nondemocratic solutions are the only options left (though the options are dwindling)
Tbh, you could probably do what you needed to with Pipewire and Wireplumber to route your audio devices correctly, but the learning curve is steep.
But I mention that to say that you are correct; installing Windows to solve this problem is gross.
Sir, this is an egg.
(But seriously, this is my kinda meal)
The thing I love the most about this post is that I now know which users to block.
They don’t have all the law and money, though. Their margins in both chambers of Congress are slim and only shrinking. They’ve lost nearly all of the recent elections, sometimes flipping a long-held seat (see the recent Ft. Worth election that flipped a seat held by Republicans for 30 years), and alignment with Trump is proving to be a detriment. People blame them for the economy, don’t like their international policies, and even their supporters are beginning to sour on immigration. There’s going to be a lot of retirements, because they can see the writing on the wall; the midterms aren’t looking good.
Now, I’m not saying they don’t still have a majority or power, but it’s thinner and more tenuous than they would have us believe, and we’re already seeing defections. It’s no longer the case that just voting along party lines will keep them safe, even in deep red districts.
They’re panicking, it just isn’t much of a spectacle.
You forgot the acronym “EVIL.”
Neat! I’ll be testing this later.
Since you’ve said that Signal won’t work for your specific geographic location, perhaps you should give SimpleX a try. There’s some controversy about them introducing cryptomining to support their development or something, but it’s still my backup option if Signal gets taken down.
Also, you don’t need a phone number to sign up, and it was almost as easy to get going as Signal, so it should be doable for most non-techy people.
Yeah, but I have Alot of love, so it’s okay
It’s the Mechanical Turk automaton all over again
Sounds like you had fun
I knew someone who voluntarily went to work for Facebook a few years ago. I don’t talk to them anymore. Last I heard from a mutual is that they got laid off, and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving schmuck.
That’s good to know. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience
At which point, the only option left is to leave or enjoy rapid enshittification.
It’s a “concrete example” that’s almost certainly fantasy. I bet everyone stood up and clapped when the engineer got to the office, too.
