Same for the teenager part.

The Podcast (Dialogues instead of Monologues) is content for the older audience, though:

L. O. L.

Seriously though, reasonable discussion of its usefulness aside, how can't people see that outrageous statements like that without any scientific or practical backing, clearly made to inspire devotion and/or fear, keeping the hype and the money and resources drain on, are the telltale of a tech hype?

tinsuke , 1 month ago to Technology in Read the memo: Meta is shutting down Workplace, cutting back enterprise ambitions

We are discontinuing Workplace from Meta so we can focus on building AI and metaverse technologies that we believe will fundamentally reshape the way we work,

Lol, can't make this shit up!

tinsuke , 1 month ago to Technology in Read the memo: Meta is shutting down Workplace, cutting back enterprise ambitions

It this actually true? For real?!

Can't wait to go back from my parental leave and not be the last one to hear about important announcements because they were posted on FB. F that.

Every 4-5 seconds? Yeah, logging.

You can either move the system dataset to your boot drive/pool or syslog to /var/log:

I've seem many users recommend a reboot after changing those settings.

Was going to suggest opening an issue on the project page, but there's this, was that you?

tinsuke , 3 months ago to Technology in Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment

Out of curiosity, which is the launcher you chose?

I froze the stock launcher at the last version without Ads. It works, but I guess some entries like "continue watching" could be bugging out now because it is out of date/never patched.

Trying to make real and good use of AI generative models are cracks in the magic.

tinsuke , 5 months ago to Technology in Big tech is thriving despite the layoffs

On handling downloaded songs and offline playback, my personal (but informed) opinion is that there is:

• some licensing reasons for it to be more complicated than strictly necessary
• lack of interest of supporting an app feature that doesn't drive numbers immediately up (sure, I agree that a better offline experience would improve the product and help user retention, but it isn't easy/quick to measure its impact), and
• lack of ownership with many teams having to support a functionality (keep the app working offline) within all the various app features they own.

So, just as a dog with multiple owners, it goes neglected and starves.

I'd say that they're "cooking the books" as in: making it look like they're in better shape than they are by cutting costs, but causing irreparable damage to themselves that will manifest in the long run.

I've survived 3 layoffs at Spotify last year alone. Once I started working there It didn't take long to be proud and feel happy about it. Now, although people still find it cool when I tell them and I still do the same job (no workload increase), I know it is just like any other greedy corpo and I feel compelled to care less and less.
