  • If society goes completely cashless, bank robberies would no longer be a thing, which means there would no longer be "bank robbery" plots in future Movies/TV shows.

    Jump

  • I mean barely… Most bank offices in Sweden do not handle cash at all.

  • What is the most infuriating "is not a big deal" you have ever heard?

    Jump

  • I don’t really care, nor do I see it like a big deal. I’ve done my best in the past, but it’s also easy to say it wrong by accident.

    Also, I don’t have the least idea what 2SLGBTQIA+ means, so I need the person to be clear with me what I should say.

  • EU will defend borders, says French minister in response to Trump’s Greenland threats

    Jump

  • But Denmark is.

  • How to deal with Mom who CANNOT learn how to use a password manager, but demands I "fix it"

    Jump

  • Out of all my family and friends, if I had to pick one person to save my life based on wether they could find the correct password to a site or not. I’d go with my 80 year old grandma. She does it with pen and paper. It’s a god damn blessing doing tech support for her, she has every little detail on there.

  • Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'

    Jump

  • What’s worrying is social media being politicised. There was a time when it was not, and it was hell of a lot better than what we have now.

    I’m not on Bluesky because it aligns with my political views. I’m there because I do not have to look at, or engage in politics. I can speak about my interests. Really quite lovely.

  • Are Overemployed ‘Ghost Engineers’ Making Six Figures to Do Nothing?

    Jump

  • When I was a junior about 95% of my days was writing code. Nowadays? 30-40% maybe. The rest is meetings, code-review, helping colleagues that calls me among other things.

    Good luck finding that Mr Algorithm. Commit history is basically useless due to another factor as well. For bugs - finding the actual problem and the reason for it, is often far more consuming than the fix itself.

    Jump

  • And that’s after you’ve located and understood the problem. That part is often far more complicated and time consuming than the fix itself.

    We should leave the Fediverse and embrace Reddit

  • People who use "AI" on dating apps are creepy and dumb AF

    Jump

  • Haha yeah for sure. Though that’s already done today with very old pictures and the likes.

    I guess the user (me) would be the one paying!

    I’m not at all underestimating that, it’s the very reason I would like a bot to do it. For an average guy there’s about a 2% of getting a match. After that you need to get a response, which is far from an easy feat. Honestly, I’d be pleased with an AI that swiped for me and got the first reply to be honest.

    It’s just tedious work for - often - very little benefit!

  • People who use "AI" on dating apps are creepy and dumb AF

    Jump

  • I’ll go with the actual unpopular opinion.

    I would love to use an AI to set up what sort of woman I’m interested in, topics it can discuss and whatnot. Then let it swipe for me, start and maintain some short conversations in my writing style. It could notify when it’s time to ask the person out on a date and from there on I could take over the conversation.

    It’s dystopian for sure, but getting a date is basically just a numbers game. Would love getting to skip actually doing that part…

  • Why are people so antsy to see others in person?

    Jump

  • Sure. But regardless, I used to work as a teacher. 15 weeks of vacation yearly, great pay (for Sweden at least). Worked about 32h every week.

    I’m much happier today with much less vacation, longer hours and a bit worse pay (though it’ll get much better with time). Because I actually like my job. And I get to work on skills that I have use for in my free time as well.

    It does not have to be all about getting paid as much and working as little as possible. Finding a good employer and a career you like is also an option.

  • Why are people so antsy to see others in person?

    Jump

  • We are talking about a get together once or twice a year here. That is very much something that is not only beneficial for extroverts, but also most introverts. The extremities between these often get a bit absurd when discussing. Studies show the happiness level of introverts increasing after social gatherings as well.

    Not saying it should happen daily or even weekly. But yearly? That should not be a problem for anyone.

  • Why are people so antsy to see others in person?

    Jump

  • I felt like this a couple of years ago, then I went and changed both job and career. Suddenly I find myself actually enjoying what I do, as well as my colleagues.

    A job is definitely transactional, but seeing as most of us spend 8h a day on them. I’d urge ya’ll to - if possible - try and find one where you can find some pride and value in what you do, other than the paycheck you receive.

    It has improved all parts of my life in all honesty.

    Jump

  • Why wouldn’t you be able to create relationships with your colleagues just because you hate your workplace? The worst places I’ve worked at, have had the absolute strongest relationships between the people working there. Because it’s basically been a necessity to survive the workday.

    Your colleagues might hate it as much as you do. That can be something to find comfort in.

  • What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for?

    Jump

  • 100% the other way around for me. My phone is the one thing I own, I use the most. To have a more fluid experience is worth a couple of hundred dollars. The hourly price difference is minuscule.

  • By 2030, nearly half of all U.S. adults will be obese, experts predict

    Jump

  • Honestly though, that does not seem far away from most diets. That’s the thing, it’s somewhat easy to lose weight. But to stick it out long term? Close to impossible for most. An absurd amount gain all of it back sooner or later.

    By far and the best way not to struggle with obesity is not to get obese. Because when you’re there, the rest of your life will be a struggle.

  • "If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

    Jump

  • “Save the planet” is too broad. Electric cars can help with global warming. But may be worse in other areas.

    Thing is, global warming is by far and away the largest environmental threat today. So it’s likely very much beneficial to lessen the burden there, while other areas suffer.

    But you’re very much right in that it won’t do shit as long as we’re producing electricity through fossil fuel among others. With that said, the same people pushing for electric cars are also pushing for green energy.

  • Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders.

    Jump

  • I can take your word for it, or I can consider the fact that basically every major company in the world does it. Somehow I don’t think it’s totally useless.

    Russia halts wartime deal allowing Ukraine to ship grain. It’s a blow to global food security
