Technology@lemmy.world•Google Accused of Illegally Killing a Massive Forest for Its New Data Center Project: It's "gross incompetence," or "gross disregard" for the law. Or both.English
6·1 day agoCriminal penalties for decision makers. Jail time. Disgorgement of profits.
I believe you even though that’s kind of sad. I’m not sure which of “they thought this dead animal picture was good” or “they don’t have friends to take a better picture” or “it didn’t even occur to them to ask a friend to take a picture” are worse.
That could be. I’m not sure how the “many women don’t like these pictures” fact didn’t override that, though.
When I was on the dating apps I got a friend to take some photos of me in the park

Programming@programming.dev•Slot Machine Programming and the Hidden Curriculum
15·2 days agoI commented at work that giving the non technical team AI would be like giving toddlers chainsaws.
I got another talking to about making people feel bad.
Bunch of ghouls and whiners here.
Probably similar to how a lot of incels and manosphere duds get advice from other men instead of women. They’re in a little bubble. Maybe they don’t respect women’s opinions.

Technology@lemmy.world•NYC is now the first city in America that bans sketchy subscriptions / As of Thursday, the city's click-to-cancel rule has taken effect, which requires businesses to make it as easy to cancel a subsc…English
38·3 days agoThis is refreshing. I’m so tired of right wing people being like “the government can’t do anything right and I’m going to prove it by sabotaging and starving the government”.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit is killing RSS feeds and ending public API access because of AI botsEnglish
23·4 days agoSeems like most people don’t really care about or understand stuff like “private platforms enshittify”. Certainly not enough to be inconvenienced. People will be like “that’s where the good memes are” or “that’s where my video games post”. Heavens forbid you miss the hot memes.

Technology@lemmy.world•McDonald's is reportedly using AI to "dynamically" price its burgersEnglish
6·5 days agoI will continue to avoid McDonald’s. Not going to break a no-meat streak for a shitty burger.

News@lemmy.world•Man dragged to death by NYC subway train after bag snags on door, police say
8·5 days agoI wonder if this was caused in part by assholes pushing onto the train before people could get off.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Right-Wingers Are Mad Anti-Welfare Ad Isn't Racist EnoughEnglish
571·6 days agoEvery one of those right wing complainers are among the worst people on earth.
They never seem to complain about rich people who just live off investments and inherited wealth.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord’s Second Attempt To Roll Out Age Verification Is Going BadlyEnglish
8·6 days agoJust spent 10 minutes fooling around with fluxer via the web ui. Was able to invite a dice bot, but couldn’t get it to respond. (Also it’s very D&D-specific, but that’s a separate complaint)
Looks so much like Discord

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you suddenly had 5 million dollars today, what would you do with it?
6·7 days agoRetire. Don’t like my job. Tech is circling the drain.
Other people posted some details but essentially if you’re not an idiot you can park that in safe investments and live a happy life.
I get so frustrated when I read about people who like win a few million, blow it on like stupid cars and houses, and end up poor again. Just don’t do that.
I dislike AI. It’s like the one ring. Stop trying to use it. But all these people think they’re stronger than Boromir.

Experienced Devs@programming.dev•the senior engineer death spiral
7·8 days agoI feel like larger orgs have too many incompetent idiots and useless layers of management to appropriately manage people. So you have people extruding AI slop because that’s optimal for getting some fucking ghoul middle manager to see you. The guy who fixes bugs and writes useful tests isn’t going to impress fucking Joanne who can’t even code but somehow is still in charge of the department.
I think this is a big problem at Google. You get rewarded for shipping something, even if that means killing a better product.
Other than that, yeah I guess it’s a social game. Getting people to like you matters more than you might think it should.

News@lemmy.world•E. coli outbreak linked to raw milk cheese brand: CDC, FDA
121·8 days agoPerhaps you would prefer to live in a dystopia where the bread is full of sawdust and the milk is rotten.

News@lemmy.world•E. coli outbreak linked to raw milk cheese brand: CDC, FDA
314·8 days agoYou shouldn’t be allowed to sell “raw” cheese. It’s unsafe.
The people who did so should face charges analogous to, I don’t know, attempting to poison a bunch of people. Fucking nail them to the wall.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Fox News stars attend China’s State Dinner despite ranting about communism in the USEnglish

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK : If you are american, don't eat meat you bought recently. Don't buy meat this week. As of TODAY, more than 167,000 pounds of meat are recalled 🚨English
13·10 days agoI already felt pretty good about not eating meat*. I think this would have have been a big motivator if I wasn’t already on board
*Ok, I’m kind of a half assed vegetarian. I generally don’t buy meat but if I’m at like a dinner someone else planned I might have some they cooked. It’s easier than going all the way to 100%, and has reduced my meat consumption by like 95%.


Legitimately aggravating. Well done.
