  • We're bringing Pebble back!

    Jump

  • That's exactly my experience, as well.

    The PineTime is the best current option for a pebble enthusiast, since the Pebble.

    But I still have to charge the PineTime every week or so, and that is with the screen off most of the time.

    I miss the Pebble's battery life.

  • Not gonna lie, this is probably my favorite work-from-home perk.

    Jump

  • Oh!

    As they say, them who laugh lasts, probably needed a minute to think about it. Today, that was me.

  • Amazon engineers and marketers were asked on Monday to volunteer their time to the company’s warehouses to assist with grocery delivery

    Jump

  • I don't see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.

    So I assume you wrote this after picking up groceries from your locally owned grocery store? Because you still have one - it didn't collapse due to a Walmart coming to town?

    Most of us have a solid example of what driving a grocery store out of business looks like, though.

  • Tech Giants Team Up With Teachers Union on $23M AI Academy

    Jump

  • "Not everyone in the union will celebrate this corporate partnership. Some members have legitimate concerns about tech giants shaping classroom priorities through financial relationships."

    When has a corporation and a Union ever not seen eye to eye?

    (Please don't answer. This is sarcasm. Otherwise RIP my inbox.)

  • Connor Myers: As if graduating weren’t daunting enough, now students like me face a jobs market devastated by AI

    Jump

  • Many firms are now slashing their number of new hires.

    Yes. This sucks.

    The main cause of this is artificial intelligence

    Unlikely.

    The main cause for a chill in hiring tends to be uncertainty about the future. And we know that folks are feeling high uncertainty about the future, right now. (Gestures broadly at current headlines in general and "Not The Onion", in particular.)

    Historically, uncertainty about the future is particularly high when the people have low confidence that existing and new laws will be applied in a predictable manner.

    I'll leave exactly what changed on that front as a thought exercise.

    AI is interesting, but it is not the primary cause of the chill in hiring new graduates.

  • and the internet (in the current form) never gets developed.

    based on my recent online shopping experiences, we may get there, soon.

    It feels like nobody knows how to Java a Script anymore.

  • Trump’s Defiance of TikTok Ban Prompted Immunity Promises to 10 Tech Companies

    Jump

  • It can be hard to guess who to bribe, or how big each bribe should be?

  • AI: a fork in the road for open source

    Jump

  • The answer is 2.

    Cling to known humans who write their own code.

    Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.

    Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.

    But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.

  • Hey Lemmy! Who ya voting for to be the new pope?

    Jump

  • There's been some great ideas here, but I like yours the best.

    Bill Burr complaining about being forced to be the pope would be amazing.

  • I don't know enough about it to confidently say they're going to lose all their money

    It happened to my relative. They didn't lose everything, but they lost enough that they're shopping for a mobile home for retirement, when they previously could have bought a small house.

  • Removed

    Why do you think JD Vance killed the Pope?

    Jump

  • Plausible explanation.

  • Replaced my dishwasher

    Jump

  • There's a bag of parts I don't know what to do with.

    Any leftover unused parts are worth extra points.

    At least, that's what I tell my spouse.

    Maybe I got it done with fewer parts because I found a novel improved solution...

    Sometimes my spouse figures out what the extra parts are for... And doesn't seem to mind that using the parts correctly lowers the score I dreamed up...

  • How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?

  • This was really helpful. Thank you.

  • Low maintenance friendships are the best ships 🛳️

    Jump

  • Just so you know, this isn't Reddit. You've just been blocked by everyone reading along here.

    If you start to feel like no one replies here, it's actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.

  • Low maintenance friendships are the best ships 🛳️

    Jump

  • Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn't mean they're a friend.

    True. But I've had some great friendships grow after years of just "hi" in passing. We weren't friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.

  • For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing

    Jump

  • I'm with you.

    Thankfully, corporate bullahit isn't the only way to create a discovery algorithm.

    I expect that we will have a diverse set of discovery algorithms available to opt into here, in a few years.
