  • 505 of 700 OpenAI employees tell the board to resign.

  • Altman went to Microsoft within 48 hours, does anything else really need to be said? Add to that, the fact that basically every news outlet has reported - with difference sources - that he was pushing in exactly in that way. There’s very little to support the fact that reality is different.

  • 505 of 700 OpenAI employees tell the board to resign.

  • It’s rather interesting here that the board, consisting of a fairly strong scientific presence, and not so much a commercial one, is getting such hate.

    People are quick to jump on for profit companies that do everything in their power to earn a buck. Well, here you have a company that fires their CEO for going too much in the direction of earning money.

    Yet every one is all up in arms over it. We can’t have the cake and eat it folks.

  • Apple's called Android a "massive tracking device" in an internal presentation

    Jump

  • Genuine question: in what ways do Apple track iOS users (that cannot be turned off)?

    I’m of the viewpoint that most tracking can be rather easily be turned off, and that android plays in a totally other ballpark here. But I might very well be wrong.

  • Gen Z And The Great Office Debate Won’t End In 2023

    Jump

  • Having been paid very good, and today less good due to a career change. I’ll happily tell you payment gave absolutely zero impact on feeling engaged at work. If the job sucks, it’ll suck with good pay as well.

    Sure, it might be easier to push through. But it will not make it more engaging. Co workers and a supporting environment sure will though.

    Not to say I don’t want compensation to be higher across the board, but we should have both.

  • It is however people that in very high degree support their president.

  • Lemmy users when I mention I pay for Youtube Premium

  • Only service where I’ve done the region thing. Paying 15 kr a month because I signed up through Argentina.

  • Reviving !movies@lemm.ee following lemmy.film shutdown

    Jump

  • Yeah definitely. Feel like even Lemm.ee could be at risk, the admin have written once in three weeks. Might be nothing, but does not feel all too safe.

  • Microsoft CEO Nadella's compensation drops... to $48M — CEO to employee pay ratio hits 250 to 1

  • There will always be loop holes, but then you fix those. And regardless, loop holes are not used by all, and they take time to find. So that’s no reason not to do it.

  • Yes working old cars are cheaper than piece of shit new ones. How terribly observant of you*

  • How do I stop being an undisciplined coward?

    Jump

  • Start extremely small. And I mean extremely. You can find motivation to do five push ups today, 100%. It might suck, but you can do it.

    After you’ve accomplished those you’re not allowed to feel like “I could’ve done more, that was nothing”. You’re the fucking hero of today. What an accomplishment.

    Tomorrow you do another five, repeat that for a week if you can, perhaps even a month. Some day you might feel like “eh, I can do 10 today”. Then you do that. If not, you don’t.

    After a while you might feel like “Maybe I can do a very short slow walk today”. Then you do that. And if that never happens, you don’t. But perhaps instead you feel like “damn, I’m a person who have done push ups every day for 10 days. That person can akso brush his/her teeth every night”. Then you do that.

    Perhaps you feel like that person can have a genuine conversation with their parents for five minutes listening to their day. Now you’re suddenly that person as well. You know what more that person does? Helps out with cooking once a week.

    Small good habits, that you credit yourself for, can help build other great habits. And even if they don’t, and you just manage to do those 5 push ups a day. Well, that person beats one who doesn’t!

  • Missing Memmy

    Jump

  • Some happy news then, it seems like Memmy is being developed again. Was picked up again 6 days ago. Though, from what it looks like, it’s a rather major rework. So could take some time. But gkasdorf has put in a lot of work.

  • Google has sent internet into ‘spiral of decline’, claims DeepMind co-founder

    Jump

  • I mean most top searches are AI generated bullshit nowadays anyway. Adding Reddit to a search is basically the only decent way to get a proper answer. But those answers are not much more reliable than ChatGPT. You have to use the same sort of skepticism and fact checking regardless.

    Google has really gotten horrible over the years.

  • (Edited to add context) Paywalling features most other apps have for free isn't a great look

    Jump

  • Yeah, that’s fair enough.

  • [Daily thread] How are you doing today?

    Jump

  • First day in a while I’m just staying at home doing absolutely nothing. So much looking forward to it!

  • (Edited to add context) Paywalling features most other apps have for free isn't a great look

    Jump

  • Thing is, Apollo was a rather proven app that had been developed for years. On a site that had been growing for even more years. Thus we could pay knowingly that we’d very likely get a couple of years out of it.

    We have no idea if Lemmy will be a viable option in a year or two (basically all Reddit clones have failed, so it’s likely this will as well). And even if it succeed, we have no clue the developer will stay at it and develop the app. Looking at other Lemmy apps, most have stopped developing, basically just pushing out simple fixes.

    This unfortunately has to be considered when it comes to app price. I’m not ready to pay as much for this, as I did for Reddit. I miiggt be down the line, but not yet.

  • The complete guide to building your personal self hosted server for streaming and ad-blocking powered by Plex, Jellyfin, Adguard Home and Docker.

    Jump

  • People keep saying this about Plex, yet I’ve received one pop up about paying them during the last 6 months. That was while I tried to use a pay feature. Not once otherwise.

    There are plenty of apps that I can’t use due to their annoyance when you’re in the free tier. Plex have not bothered me in the least.

    Why am I not using streamio? Well, we have an Apple TV so that’s tough. Might get something else down the line, but I pirate to save money, not to save money on entertainment and spend it on equipment instead.

  • [Bug] Reply box to large

  • Missed your reply, apologies! Didn’t even know I had that option turned on. Thanks. As I’m not in need of it, it has now been turned off and everything looks fantastic!

    I've felt intense love and heartbreak before and I don't think I could ever handle it again. Am I wrong for thinking that it doesn't get any better?

    Jump

  • Time helps us get through pain, even though it often leaves a mark. For me, changing how I think about things has really made a difference.

    It's great to feel good, but I don't think that needs to be the main goal of life. I try to see life as a gift where feeling all kinds of emotions is a valuable part. I hope everyone gets to feel the incredible joy of being in love and the comfort of a happy relationship, but also knows what it's like to go through a heartbreak... Because going through different feelings, good or bad, adds so much to our lives.

    Heartbreak gives us strength and empathy, happiness gives us beautiful memories, and love? Love is that quiet, steady thing that makes all the tough parts worth it. So I try to welcome every feeling, every moment, and every experience, because together, they make up our unique, stories.

  • Great App!

    Jump

  • Yeah, we had so many apps being developed couple of months ago. Most have stopped developing now, but not Avelon. Easily the top pick right now.
