  • Right to Repair Gains Traction as John Deere Faces Trial

    Jump

  • Ok I'm a proponent of right to repair and despise manufacturing techniques that lock repair shops out, make spare parts from 3rd parties impossible to install, or create planned obsolescence, or any shenanigans like this. It's basically anti-everybody else and suggests weakness and fear instead of quality and strength.

    But help me understand how it's possible that our "free market" is enabling this, unless it's just a controlled market charading as free?

    Is John Deere giving the hardware away for free to those who sign long term subscriptions or something?

    If John Deere is the Apple-esque ecosystem of tractors where is the "PC" diy manufacture and why doesn't the market support them.

  • Is there a song in a foreign language you like the melody to but didnt know the lyrics?

  • Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course

    Jump

  • My company gets a lot of incoming chats from customers (and potential customers)

    The challenge of this side of the business is 98% of the questions asked over chat are already answered on the very website that person started the chat from. Like it's all written right there!

    So real human chat agents are reduced to copy paste monkeys in most interactions.

    But here's the rub. The people asking the questions fit into one of two groups: not smart or patient enough to read (unfortunate waste of our resources) or they are checking whether our business has real humans and is responsive before they buy.

    It's that latter group for whom we must keep red blooded, educated and service minded humans on the job to respond, and this is where small companies can really kick ass next to behemoths like google who bring in over $1m per employee but still can't seem to afford a phone line to support your account with them.

  • Been a good couple of years

    Jump

  • Still miss RiF and what reddit used to be.

    For much of reddit's best years, RiF was my top app.

  • Dads who didn't want pets - a classic

    Jump

  • Was about to make this point as well but you nailed it. I don't want to bring the pet home because I KNOW I will love it.

  • Some things don't change

    Jump

  • Whoops, 18.1 just released breaking changes

  • Kennedy guts CDC's vaccine panel of independent experts

    Jump

  • Well. That's strange.

  • What communities or instances do you have blocked to make your Lemmy experience more enjoyable?

    Jump

  • The whole lemmynsfw instance. Don't need that distraction here.

    Text filters - any keywords for news topics that I've had enough of (mostly reoccurring political topics)

    Weird meme shit from some strange community (or something that is just not my generation) - block the whole community.

    A poster who's engaging in bad faith - blocked, never to be heard from again.

    I also set my mobile client (Connect) to mark posts that I've scrolled by as read, and to only show unread posts.

    I filter by All / Top 6 hours

    My experience on Lemmy is getting better and better, and I feel no need to doom scroll here.

  • Craig's list

    Jump

  • Kinda sad the state of craigslist these days.

    In its heyday you could get anything you wanted immediately.

    5 guys to help you move to a new apartment in 1 hr from now, check

    5 guys to plow your wife, check

    5 guys to plow you too, check.

    Also you could sell your old cassette tape collection for $2 negotiated down to $1 when the buyer showed up.

  • Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon

    Jump

  • I think I'm understanding the playbook here.

    Eventually YouTube will cost 89.99 a month and also be full of ads.

    Then they will be disrupted by some startup company that will have to fight uphill for search and bandwidth access through Google's monopolistic front door.

    Years later a court case will be decided and the new guy will be up and running a free service with a few ads or 1.99 a month for no ads!

    And then we get to go through it all again.

  • Credit card and email address leaked online. Charges cancelled, card replaced. What else do I need to do?

    Lion kills businessman at luxury safari lodge in Namibia after he stepped out of tent to use toilet

    Jump

  • I know there's a lot of hate for these mofos who go on expensive safaris to kill an endangered rhino or something.

    But as far as I understand, these arrangements often benefit conservation more than anything. Because the specific rhino is selected for culling and is destructive or not reproducing and has become a menace to the herd. And the money is used to fund the agency responsible for the conservation efforts.

    Might be bad data and I'm open to being reeducated but seems viable.

  • FEMA staff baffled after head said he was unaware of US hurricane season, sources say | Reuters

    Jump

  • Thank God the guy said he didn't plan to change anything for the year. Seems like he should get some briefings from his staff on the pertinent issues for the agency before any more press conferences.

  • Cloudflare built an oauth provider with Claude

    Jump

  • Doctors face a similar obstacle before they can practice: medical school and residency. They literally have to jump from zero to hero before the first real paycheck.

    Things may evolve this way for senior software developers with a high rate of dropout.

  • 30M After divorce I got literally zero support from anyone, why?

    Jump

  • Love to see so much support here in asklemmy. This community is really great.

    I went through divorce at the age of 27 and is one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. It is a lot like a death. Obviously not of a person but a dream and perhaps an identity. It's the type of thing that can feel like a personal failure and really leave you feeling hopeless and in despair.

    In the first months I don't think it's reasonable to expect that the feelings will just go away or even lose their potency, and they can be extremely powerful. Perhaps they just become muted more and more as time passes and you fill your life with other people and activities. Hell, to this day (now I'm 45) I still think about her occasionally and wish it could have been a different outcome, but so much of my life since that time never could have occurred had I stuck with her. In other words I've come to learn that while I'm grateful for the good times we had, I'm also grateful that it ended and I too could move on.

    The most important thing you have to do now is find out who you are as a single man - and as a human - by nurturing and taking care of this new found sense of loneliness. Find your new identity. I think you really have to lean into the pain you're feeling and express it deliberately. Let it move and let it get out of you.

    It especially helps to fill your time with activities you love that also nurture you. Maybe that's being outdoors, maybe that's gaming, whatever it is you know it better than anybody.

    We really need healthy people around to support us during this kind of time and it's a shame that the people you thought would be there aren't. Maybe they can still be your buddies but now you know they're not the type to really have your back when the shit hits the fan. But those kind of people are out there and now it's your mission to go figure out where they are.

  • Telegram and xAI agreed a one-year deal to integrate Grok into the chat app; Telegram will get $300M in cash and equity from xAI and 50% of subscription revenue.

    Jump

  • I'm guessing the money flows in this direction because telegram actually has users.

  • Self hosted Teams alternative?

    Jump

  • They have a SaaS option as well, I'm guessing that's the main revenue plan.

  • Self hosted Teams alternative?

    Jump

  • Huly is pretty amazing and has a self host option. It supports chats and video calls, team rooms, and has some cool integration for speech to text note taking. It also functions as a task tracker.

    Under super active development right now so host only if you can deal with occasional breaking changes.
