  • Traveled around the world a lot.. The US isn't anywhere near the best as you say. It's also not the worst. It's just heavily car oriented and fuck-everything-else oriented (except maybe air travel but... TSA).

    I can say that living in a big city with mobile phone payments on every form of public transport, and a highly reliable on-time system that's always clean and free of people you would worry about being alone with... Is a beautiful thing. And seriously reduces the friction for all kinds of things like...going to work. The countries like this usually don't have much traffic and therefore deliveries and other legitimate uses of the road are frequently unobstructed. But on the other hand, these places can be extremely dense and the people live on top of each other.

  • Exactly

  • What about that feeling that there's probably something else to add to the list, actually you know there's something missing from the list. But you just can't think of what it is. And it's just sitting there in the back of your mind bugging you, because it might be the most important thing to add to your list and for some reason it's just being forgotten about in this moment. But if you forget about it... really bad things could happen.

    Or is that a q for the anxiety forum

  • When you say CEOs are you thinking of guys who are making millions with staff living on almost nothing?

  • It IS a big hassle. I use Amazon SES for outbound which mostly solves the spam rejection problem based on IP, but the system still has to protect its domain reputation by being setup well. Inbound is an issue because downtime can mean lost email, so I have two other systems acting as MX relays. I also have to deal with spam, monitor disk space and a bunch of other things that for most would not be worth the hassle.

  • Cash is under attack worldwide. Whenever this topic comes up, I want to express my sadness that crypto didn't seem to fill this hole, even though it's more than capable.

  • They started this BS a few years ago... At the time they were going to totally remove the program, and finally backed off from that stance if you agreed to use only for non business purposes. Horse was outta the barn though, a lot of people migrated away.

    The thing is, Google very clearly and purposefully marketed this as a free for life program to get your family domains on there in return for earning credibility with IT influencers and decision makers. If they remove this program, they'll burn that goodwill (if any is left, lol) and frankly should return all of the value they got from scanning our data for the past 20 years or so which was a known part of the "free for life" trade.

    I'm degoogling as fast as possible and have all except some family members off Gsuite so far.

    Immich Nextcloud My own postfix email server (I'm a super nerd) Thunderbird and rainloop email clients Duckduckgo is default everywhere and use searxing in some cases Also have a pihole doing dns blocking of Google's junk and ublock origin on all home pcs

    I don't have a great replacement for YouTube yet. Actually I subscribe to YouTube premium because I feel like that at least gets creators paid

    These are a few of the ways I've handled it

  • The upside of Twitter's downfall has been the absence of "look what so and so said in a tweet" headlines.

  • Dang. If I owned Tesla stock I would be a bit worried about this at the moment.

  • By definition a lot of Asian countries are very very focused on their own ethnicities. I am not a foreigner living in Japan but I suspect the Japanese do vendor in some significant ways from those bringing expertise and other cultural influences. Sad to see what seems like a global reduction in favor towards immigration.

  • Seems pretty dicey to let an AI anywhere near your wallet.dat

  • Don't know why you got downvoted, you're 100% right. It's just another layer of abstraction. Like a super high level non-deterministic level of abstraction.

  • As someone who's been in immigration offices in other countries, it can indeed get considerably worse. I think it's the first mandate of government offices worldwide: suck as much as possible

  • Unfortunately that is almost certainly detectable too

  • May 11 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates has ​carried out military ‌strikes on Iran, the Wall ​Street Journal reported ​on Monday, citing ⁠people familiar with ​the matter.

    The strikes, ​which the UAE has not publicly acknowledged, ​included an ​attack on a refinery on ‌Iran's ⁠Lavan Island in the Persian Gulf, WSJ said, ​adding ​that ⁠the attack took place ​in early ​April.

    Reuters ⁠could not immediately verify the report.

  • Do you feel like AI and its current form is ever going to go away?

    To me it seems like we're well beyond the point of it going away ever. It may never live up to the hype of replacing all the jobs.

    We also know that AI companies are footing a large chunk of the bill. Someday those prices are going to crank up and a bunch of work we shovel over to AI will go back to humans.

    Heck, it may have peaked already - we may not have any more killer uses to discover. Or maybe we do, and that's partly why I'm here - I'm pretty interested to see if some interesting uses cases emerge. Some really tough or annoying problem that we all hate to do that AI can start actually doing really good work at.

  • AI is the buzz at the moment and is driving investment. From the perspective of the business of selling tech it matters most.

    But that's largely because companies involved in tech are trying to find use cases for AI that can move the needle, as is the case for many new technologies in search of a problem to solve.

    If the starting position is "fuckai" or "fuckwork", or "fuckzuck", well I guess thats awesome but doesn't really seem like a conversation about tech or how it may eventually solve problems or change the world.

  • Is this the technology forum or fuckai/fuckwork/fuck meta forum.

    I understand those are popular positions for the average Lemmy user but the negativity is really off-putting

  • Two companies that are desperate for disruption. It's like one drowning person swimming over to another drowning person to rescue.
