Well my night is ruined
I’m so jealous I want to cry, I fucking love birds.
Follow up question, could the same metrics be captured without a network connection? An alternative might not be as user friendly as an IoT device, but for the last what decade? It seems like investment in IoT is investment in security vulnerabilities.
I’ve watched many videos about CBT
I’m a software developer and many job postings for my skill sets are getting 500+ applicants, so my strategy was to try to network on the platform. The whole experience was demoralizing, sure other job boards might have the same number of applicants, but I really feel like the easy apply button just creates more competition. My inbox is always open for recruiters though, that is the only positive for me.
LinkedIn is an aggregation of everything wrong with social media. I got laid off and tried to use it to find a job, never again.
I think the replies to this post really captures Lemmy’s energy and I love it.
True love is actually a great wish. Money runs out, the earth doesn’t have the resources to power an x-wing, super dude can’t do anything super or else society will now expect him to be Superman, which is a huge responsibility anyone reasonable would want. But TRUE LOVE, the fucking stuff from Disney movies? I’d take that in a heartbeat, then proceed to do a lewd photoshoot with my partner on the defunct x-wing.
Mini Rant:
When you think about it software development is a relatively young profession compared to medicine, law, construction, public services, the arts, and so on. This is why modern tech kind of sucks despite being so cool, I say we are in the “Hey maybe we shouldn’t build our huts right on the river” phase of writing code, still figuring out problems that will appear mind numbingly simple in the future.
Another issue is the fact that tech builds on itself and its flaws can be painted over with abstractions, while the aforementioned professions can’t get away with being subpar for too long. So the full metaphor really is after the river floods we build on top of the ruins and claim victory because we are slightly more elevated and will take less damage during the next flood.
The secret to better tech is rebuilding everything from scratch. The internet wasn’t designed with security and bad actors in mind. Plenty of corporations are running a Frankenstein system that contains code older than most millennials, botched modernization efforts, buzzword laden over-engineered applications, and bugs that aren’t features just permanent residents in your code base.
…But there is profiteering to contend with, good code takes time, time is money, good code is expensive. “Good enough” code is easy to write, so its better for the bottom line.
In the end it really is…
Developer: “Hey the river flooded and our huts were demolished, we should move to higher ground and build there”
Corporate Leadership: “No that is too expensive, just build on the ruins and next flood we should be safer, oh also you’re laid off”
I know you didn’t ask for this, but its been on my mind for a while and I felt like this was a good time to get this out of my head haha
Sorry that you’re getting down voted for facts
Thank you for dropping some savory knowledge!

This isn’t a good alternative either. From reading the article it looks like this service is meant to screen less serious issues, and if those less serious issues need an in person doctor visit, you’ll need insurance.
The deeper problem is that if our personal data is gold, our medical data is diamonds. It may not be tomorrow, or a decade from now, but I guarantee any sort of contact non-medical corporations make with our medical data will result in a darker dystopia.
Targeted ads will be more invasive. Insurance premiums can be increased for “unhealthy” purchases. Medical coverage can be denied based on economic decisions. The list can go on. We would pretty much get a more perverse profit driven medical system if companies like Amazon start wiggling their way into medicine. Also regulations won’t keep us safe, you can thank lobbying for that.
This makes sense for anyone with a real threat model (companies, server hosts, internet drug dealers), for those who just meme and scream I’d say FF is better just for the health of the internet.
It all depends on the kind of porn and how smart the watcher is. Idiots who think porn is real life will definitely learn the wrong things and hurt someone.
This is the real solution. I spent some time in Worcester, England living with a couple there, it was so nice being able to walk to the grocery store and wherever else we wanted to go. I don’t even think I had to wait at any crosswalks or anything. Now I’m living in a big sweaty American city where sidewalks aren’t guaranteed.
Eh I don’t think lane straddling is a good idea either, if everyone zippered appropriately we wouldn’t need that, and if both lanes are relatively clear we wouldn’t need it either. I think driving will always suck no matter what, “safe driving” is something no one can really agree on. Not to mention there is a section of drivers who believe aggressive driving is not only acceptable, but a way to protect the ego.
To clarify, by “play chicken” I mean dive into the other lane and forcing other people to slam on their breaks. Not merging when they can. My frustration is just around safety, not getting cut off or anything.
