  • "Manager" in this context generally doesn't mean someone who has people reporting to them, it means someone who manages the IT. It can absolutely be an early-career role. See also: equipment manager, facilities manager etc.

  • Yeah, it doesn't sound like 3 jobs at all. It's as close to a textbook definition of what you'd expect an IT Manager to do as I can think of.

  • You're not crazy, it's just that posts like this are generally tribal. Nobody here actually knows what the day-to-day of that job is, they just want a pretext to vent about their own experiences of being asked to do work that they didn't want to do.

  • We're almost certainly talking about literally everything a bot scraping catalogues decides it doesn't have. I highly doubt it'll be discriminating.

  • The rotisserie shrinks it.

  • the correct pluralization because ‘Spider-Man’ is a title, not an object

    It's not a title, it's his name. Pete Spiderman.

  • I was excited for the rotisserie function of my new oven until I got to the supermarket and discovered that an uncooked whole chicken costs more than a store-rotisseried whole chicken.

  • the clunkers being removed were heavy polluters

    and got replaced with trucks that were twice their size, resulting in zero net gain

  • "nobody may disagree with me until they spend 2 hours doing the thing that I demanded they do first" is some proper Main Character syndrome posting

    • Doesn't solve a problem
    • Recording everything around you is fucking creepy

    I mean at some stage you have to start wondering about the sort of person with a less-than-one-week-old account that's up in here defending them so vociferously. I notice you're also in other AI threads on Lemmy being equally shilly.

  • Perfect is the enemy of good. The worst offenders for AI slop are the sort of people who won't bother making the extra effort to scrub watermarks.

  • I read your list and stand by my statement. Half the things on that list are novelties that you'd get quickly bored of, and the other half have solutions that don't require pervert glasses. I see zero problems being solved anywhere in the list you just made.

  • also I suspect the shill bots have started to find their way over here too.

  • The actual usefulness and potential of smart glasses, especially ones with cameras, is almost unfathomable.

    I thought the first paragraph was leading to a decent point, but "unfathomable usefulness" is an almost rabid level of overstatement. There's some fathomable applications as an aid for blind people, but every other use case that's ever come up has ranged from "novelty" to "really fucking creepy" with the occasional "looks like a useful thing but didn't really solve an actual problem we had with the previous way of doing it".

  • Online clothes shopping has been rendered completely unviable now.

  • It's such a weird thing to do a study on in 2026 given how many thousands of years of data we already have. Like if it made any difference at all it definitely would have been spotted by at least Roman times.

  • My niece refers to herself as "you" because she doesn't understand that when people refer to her as "you", that isn't her name.

    She's 27 years old...

  • Just to bring everyone back down, I suspect "how many" isn't actually that high a number, it's just that these stories get disproportionate attention on sites like this.

  • yeah sorry I keep forgetting not everyone lives in Europe
