Unanimous?! Makes you wonder what they know that we might not.

Nah. I built the onboarding (IT working with HR) at my last two jobs. It’s a complex mess, very hard to get right, non-stop tweaking.

Told the dude that hired me today what a dream Lowe’s onboarding was. “Yeah. It was a clusterfuck a few years ago, they refined it down.” They went from 100 redundant questions on the app to 2. (It had been a stupid personality profile trap.)

Can’t speak to other places, but their managers are held to turnover metrics (I’m told). Hiring dumb assess and they keep leaving or getting fired, that’s on you. I like that idea. We shall see how it goes!

Me too, and that’s why I just signed onto to Lowe’s for a 75% pay cut. The onboarding process was a dream. I know, I built the onboarding at my last two jobs.

Done with all the bullshit. Dude wants 60 bags of mulch in his truck? I’m on it.

Liberals: Tax it!

Also Liberals: What about the poor people!

Lemmy tends to think everything is free, has no clue about real-world costs.

Just NOW swapped a failed micro cord, charging only. Never had USB-C fail me. Not that it can’t, but it’s always been far more reliable.

Old cable guy here. The cost is in laying the lines. That cost is astronomical. AT&T did the math, said, “Fuck it. Not worth it.”

Call 'em evil, but they’re not stupid.

Anyone notice Trump clearly didn’t write that, because it’s clearly written? Remember how bugfuck he was getting over the last year and how we rarely see that anymore?

Just how bugfuck is he now and who’s controlling him?

LOL my god, it’s really that in-your-face blatant?!

My own post:

Next time you want to bitch about everything Trump taking legal years:

My case is about 5 years old now, I have been going through the legal process the whole time I’ve been working on this. I have finally been found guilty and sentenced, and I’m going away next month.

In other news, legal insurance is about $26/mo. Arm yourself. (And it’s not just for suing people or defending criminal charges. Having a legal opinion a phone call away, or a letter written, can be life changing.)

That is genius, not seeing any downsides.

True, but engagement isn’t gamified here.

“Flood the zone with bullshit” can work for both sides.

Y’all have the business comprehension of a 6th grader. Lemmy thinks the CEO is the manager at their fast food job.

The CEO is hired, and fired, by the board of directors. Sometimes they’re hired to do unpopular shit, and take the blame. Sometimes the board insists they do stupid shit, and take the blame if it doesn’t work.

If you want to jump off that plane without negotiating a parachute? Go for it.

I would never have expected it to run, be shocked if it did. You use AI to get over humps, get new ideas and approaches. It’s excellent for time saving in those cases.

AI isn’t ready to replace coders, but it’s quickly going to make a dent on the numbers needed.

This should have the turret voice from Portal.

“Hellooo… Is there anybody there?”

Y’all might enjoy reading Blindsight. Really digs into questions of sapience, intelligence, etc. Is it evolutionary cost worth it? I’ve read it 15+ times. Because I’m a psycho.

“You think we’re nothing but a Chinese Room,” Rorschach sneered. “Your mistake, Theseus.”

And suddenly Rorschach snapped into view—no refractory composites, no profiles or simulations in false color. There it was at last, naked even to Human eyes.

Imagine a crown of thorns, twisted, dark and unreflective, grown too thickly tangled to ever rest on any human head. Put it in orbit around a failed star whose own reflected half-light does little more than throw its satellites into silhouette. Occasional bloody highlights glinted like dim embers from its twists and crannies; they only emphasized the darkness everywhere else.

Imagine an artefact that embodies the very notion of torture, something so wrenched and disfigured that even across uncounted lightyears and unimaginable differences in biology and outlook, you can’t help but feel that somehow, the structure itself is in pain.

Now make it the size of a city.

Just binged almost all of Doctorow’s work. My god, the man is a genius. Even predicted the killing with “Radicalized”. Read that y’all. It was written in 2019.

You Unix bastards!
