  • Lemmy. Mastadon. YouTube.

  • Awesome. Thanks for sharing

  • That is so disturbing. I am actually horrified.

    I've been seeing the slippery slope coming with Mozilla, but this is next level business.

    Are there actually really any decent private browsers left out there, that are fully open source, and trusted, and usable, that people can fund, that don't go down this enshitification path?

  • I've blocked so so many. It can be tiring

  • Watercolour.

    The way the pigment blends, and finds its own way.

    Predictably unpredictable.

    Dreamlike paintings, flowing, and seductive.

    I'm smitten, and I'm terrible at it! Haha

  • I've fooded after salt and before food in the past

  • My son was born. I held him in my arms for the first time. As that happened, outside the window a massive fireworks display kicked off, along a nearby city river. It was that kind of moment. My boy in my arms. Fireworks, silent, but massive and beautiful, just for me. For us.

  • I've definitively been censored on lemmy simply because the mod didn't agree. It's not as bad as reddit, but it's real.

  • That's a well written, and legitimate question.

    I really don't know where such a place exists. I'm sure though, somewhere on lemmy, there must be a community that is as you seek.

    A common problem with any form of internet discussion on topics regarding culture, and thought, is that they attract extremes. The 'everyday' person won't be there to contribute conversation.

    So, we are stuck with the wider poles of the community, clashing, censoring and all that comes with it.

    Good luck in your search.

  • Well, as they are new and they are in training, the new employee has to show their response to their team members before they reply.

    If they are going to reply incorrectly we stop them and show them what's wrong with it.

    We are quite small and it's nice to just to help us with this process.

    The bot is trained on our actual knowledge base data. Basic queries, it really does a great job, but when it's something more system based or that is probably user error, then it can get a bit fuzzy.

  • I agree completely.

    We have an AI bot that scans the support tickets that come in for our business.

    It has a pretty low success rate of maybe 10% or 20% accuracy in helping with the answer.

    It puts its answer into the support ticket it does not reply to the customer directly. That would be a disaster.

    But 10% or so of our workload has now been shouldered off to the AI, which means our existing team can be more efficient by approximately 10%.

    It's been relatively helpful in training new employees also. They can read what the AI suggests and see if it is correct or not. And in learning if it is correct or not, they are learning our systems.

  • Australian here.

    English and basic German

  • I use it daily. There's no reason to use VSCode when this is there

  • In Australia, warranty periods defined by the manufacturer are taken into account. However, our consumer law states that the warranty should match an expectation, based on factors such as price and expected product life.

    For example, my Lenovo Carbon X1 had an issue. It had a 1 year warranty.

    I was just over 2 years with the machine. I contacted them for repairs. Lenovo said no, it's out of warranty. I simply sent them the link to Australian consumer laws, and the relevant section. Explained that their crazy expensive flagship laptop has an expected life of longer than a year, and definitely longer than 2, and they simply agreed and sent out a courier to pick up the laptop. They fixed it free, as they should have. Their warranty is artificially low.

    People just need to flex on these corporations. We have the law in our favour.

  • Exactly. The kobo is the king. The kindle is just spyware

  • In Australia you don't need the box.

    You don't even need a receipt.

    Simply a bank transaction on your phone to show them. They have to match that to their records.

    You can choose to go to the manufacturer, or the retailer. They can't palm you off to each other. You call it. They must act.

    Australian people have some of the strongest consumer rights in the world. They just need to use them.

  • I also restic to b2. Found it the best value.

  • I agree. I'm most productive with 2 x bursts of work. 6 hours is a good amount of time for getting plenty done.

  • When you can't tell if a machine made it, and it moves you personally, then what invisible metric are you defining, and judging it on?
