What software you consider so bad it made you happy when you left your job?
I hate Teams, give me Slack
Edit: I left an optional team in teams, and still got a notification for a meeting that isn’t on my calendar, my meetings page, nor do I have access to in any other way.

104-year-old Chicago woman dies days after making a skydive that could put her in the record books
No one’s going to say anything about “indefatigable”? Am I the only illiterate here that’s never heard of this word?

Google lays off “hundreds” more as ad division switches to AI-powered sales

I wonder if we can actually adopt technology so fast as to completely ruin our economy before we can notice that’s what’s happening.
Businesses are going to adopt AI and robotics to increase productivity and drive down costs. But it quickly becomes a tragedy of the commons if every business only considers their own selfish interests. Eventually there will not be enough employed consumers to be able to buy those products your pumping out at record rates.

2 librarians were fired after the board mistook an autism symbol for a Pride display. They’re suing.

IANAL but, if it’s a publicly owned and operated library, and someone acting on behalf of the government fired these people for some sort of protected speech (which isn’t always just talking/writing) then I’m pretty sure that’s a 1a violation.
Though I could use some clarity on any distinction between a persons own speech, and speech that could be seen as that of the library.

Scientific Study analyzing impact of Reddit Migration on Lemmy
Sounds like they just proved that some people left Reddit for lemmy and now like lemmy.
While this kind of work is necessary, confirming assumptions, it’s not particularly interesting.

To those not in the IT industry, what do you think programming is like?
Can’t be that many on Lemmy at this point.

Another example of shrink flation... oh, my beer...
That probably means that a ton of things are switching to 404ml cans, because I don't think those are usually custom made for a single beverage.

Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
My dumbass father liked eragon, I couldn’t even give it a fair shot as a movie bc I was too caught up in how they absolutely butchered the storyline of the books.

Programmers aren’t necessarily engineers tho, software engineers are, but not all programmers are software engineers. Even then, lots of people are trained as SEs and then just end up programmers.

If Superman (or whoever) uses the remaining distance between you and the ground to reduce the impulse on your body. But they also have to be careful about their speed coming in to grab you, because they could easily substitute your impact with the ground for an impact with them.

Republicans Passing Bill Letting FBI Spy on Americans Enrages MAGA
Reply in thread
No… no no no to this type of rhetoric. If law enforcement wants to spy on an American, they should be required to prove to a judge they have a very good reason and get a warrant for that shit.

Outdoor plants are a different breed
Reply in thread
I thought it was just survivorship bias.
You mostly see the strongest outdoor plants thriving in their optimal conditions. Indoor plants are whatever rainforest wonder you tried to grow indoors, under watered and next to your AC.
