This isn't unique to google but if the system continues to be designed to allow companies to mask the true cost of doing business we will never move ahead past it.

We undervalue ourselves repeatedly at the sake of cheap products.

There are 3 options. You can pick 2.

1. Good
2. Cheap
3. Fast

Google, as with most businesses, chose option 2 and 3.

That actually sounds like a good idea. Like Lemmy you have communities of common or popular languages like java or python which you can join and everyone there assists with questions. As it grows you might see a node for spring or flask get created for more niche discussions.

Took me a second to get this and I laughed but am now sad by how true this is.

I would argue "open source". I've paid attention to hashicorp for a while. They were always about "getting that bag". Open source was a means to their ends.

Something was fucky with them since day 1 and the fact many companies were openly using alpha software on production environments (my work included). Always rubbed me the wrong way.

For good open source look at apps like Zabbix.

The argument is the more you "enjoy" something the less enjoyable it becomes.

I love music but am not an audiophile but intimately aware of them.

The example I use is this.

I love music. My library is massive consisting of MP3s of various quality some of which are horrible rips with huge compression and loss.

I know audiophiles. They stress lossless compression and will go out of their way to find that Tool album in FLAC and will shit on anything less.

There's a fundamental difference between me saying 'i think the Queen album 'News Of The World' is amazing" and "you really can't appreciate the album unless you hear it in the original vinyl pressing"

So my work uses ChatGPT as well as all the other flavours. It's getting really hard to stay quiet on all the moral quandaries being raised on how these companies are training their AI data.

I understand we all feel like we are on a speeding train that can't be stopped or even slowed down but this shit ain't right. We need to really start forcing businesses to have moral compass.

Coffeezilla had a video in his void where he plays this back a few times. It's hilarious seeing the guilt without stating it.

Speak for yourself. Were I in their shoes no I would not. But then again my company wouldn't be as big as theirs for that reason.

Anyone else chuckle on the parallel in saying to use the UUID is no different than saying "just hardcore the IP bro"

I'm not hating on you, but it's an extremely flawed system where you are forced to use a direct ID mapping as a reference.

From what I'm understanding from people you can assign an alias to the UUID that sounds better?

whoisearth , 2 months ago

In the scenario of having to constantly update an fstab yes it is. As an end user I shouldn't have to keep updating configuration files because something on a lower level keeps changing its alias.

No granted I'm not familiar with this type of mount. Maybe there is a better way to do it that absolves needing to use the UUID but if not that's shit architecture IMHO.

Because we (GenX here). Are bookended by the two largest generations ever and we are the smallest one. So here we are both paying for our parents retirement and paying for our kids who don't have careers yet.

We are totally fucked. I don't plan on ever retiring. I'm too important to too many people that matter immensely to me.

Honest answer. Infinite growth is the only business model we universally accept. This puts unrealistic expectations on how we define success.

It's not enough to own a successful diner making good cheap food for 500 people a day. Why can't you do that for 5000 people? 50,000 people? Then in comes efficiency and questions about profit. Meanwhile your Zadie who started the restaurant 60 years ago is long dead and so is the simple life he envisioned for his kids.

Which means it's probably still being hacked but if someone was smart they would steal small amounts from everywhere. Fly under the radar and because it's "decentralized" if it's small enough and random enough no voice would be loud enough to silence it.

You know what's hilarious is that this is another problem that was long solved with the traditional centralized systems.

I will continue to laugh at the response of SWIFT after investigating the viability of block chain and crypto currency. I'm paraphrasing but it was basically "ya, nah".

For anyone who knows SWIFT is the largest network of financial transfers in the world and not owned by any one company.

Trust but verify my dude.

What you're saying is that you don't trust anything because everything has a bias associated to it.

My new fun one is ServiceNow. You know how off-putting it is for a sales rep to tell you the customer how amazing their stock is doing as if it's representative of the relationship you have with the company?

"We hear you now let's sell you XYZ"

"Oh wait we failed you on something? Guess you need ABC!"

I rarely downvote. If I disagree with someone that means no up vote most times. Downvote should be limited to spam, harmful or completely irrelevant.

I've been downvoted to oblivion before just because I don't agree with the hive mind. That to me is scary and people should be concerned that's even a thing.

In Canada and something similar. My aunt got breast cancer and my mum has since been diagnosed with leukemia. Of all the stresses they have dealt with, money has never been one of the things.

It's absolutely cruel that we would do that to a human being in such a tough time. Why any nation would prioritize profit over someone's well being is beyond me.

That said, Canada isn't perfect either my son is diabetic and we still have a lot of profit inducing flaws. It's just when you compare them with "the greatest country in the world"... Well nothing really compares.

Edit - changed pancreatic cancer to leukemia. No idea why my brain wasn't working this morning. Point being fuck the BRCA2 mutation.
