  • 10 Careers Once Considered Stable Are Now Seeing Major Layoffs (Latest Data)

  • This is AI slop, btw.

    Don't trust any of the numbers in that article.

  • Email ownership, I give up.

    Jump

  • Fair enough - I got it working recently but it was the hardest self-hosting install I've done. No way most people would succeed. Email is 50(?) years of questionable design decisions piled on top of each other so it's become a whole world of weird stuff. Doing email should be it's own tech specialty, like 'devops' or 'db admin' is. There's enough depth to it.

    There are a ton of email providers who are not Google, though. e.g. https://proton.me/mail. You don't need to run it on your own hardware.

  • Total Reciprocity Public License

    Jump

  • If you Deploy the Program on hardware (consumer electronics, IoT devices, or cloud infrastructure), you must provide "Installation Information." This includes all authorization keys, cryptographic signatures, or passwords required to install and execute modified versions of the Program on that specific hardware.

    That clause would make it impossible to deploy the software as it would grant the world access to your systems.

  • Flood of AI 'gаrbage' is pushing open-source developers to the limit

    Jump

  • Recently AI was weaponized against the fediverse when someone intentionally published a big AI generated security report about a popular fedi platform. Not a PR that might be useful, just a huge pile of allegations. The author is a professional developer so they knew what they were doing and how much urgent work that would create.

    Bit of a dick move.

    Then they had the gall to opine at length about what AI means for open source and how foss projects will need to change their ways.

    Such a douche.

  • Man killed in shark attack off Western Australia

    Jump

  • Guess how many sharks Australians kill each year.

  • Milei’s proposal to allow ‘non-human corporations’ run by AI causes concern in Argentina

    Jump

  • AI can't even run an office vending machine so I can't see it running a company.

  • ‘Running out of money’: Kraft, McDonald’s, Whirlpool CEOs all issue same dire warning about US consumers. Get ready now

    Jump

  • Surprised to see that finance.yahoo.com is now shilling gold like some 3rd rate YouTube influencer.

  • What's something nice you're doing for yourself this weekend?

    Jump

  • Playing a ton of Stellaris.

    Planting some trees with a community group beside a river.

  • Do we have any metrics on when the most active user activity is across Lemmy / PieFed?

    Jump

  • The numbers are the bottom of this graph are the hour, in UTC. So 3 = 3 AM.

    Looks like the quietest time is about half as active as the peak.

  • Ok, so the Life Support community is now set up and all

    Jump

  • Dumb Ways for an Open Source Project to Die

    Jump

  • So good to finally have a label for what went wrong with Drupal!

    Stranded major

  • Troops to get free tickets to White House UFC event, but must meet weight standards

    Jump

  • It's funny how they're concerned about the optics of the size of the audience members when the optics of holding a UFC event on the whitehouse lawn at all are already absolutely terrible.

  • Can someone who works in an industry or for an employer with clear negative impacts on society/the world maintain a clear concience?

  • In Homeless Crisis, California ‘Is Waging a War on R.V.s’

    Jump

  • The homeless people living in RVs are the responsible and organized ones who saw a bad situation coming and invested in a solution that would keep them from living in a tent.

    If that solution is taken off the table it'll just lead to more people living in tents and all the problems that come from that.

  • Using AI for image transcripts, yay or nay?

    Jump

  • If I were blind I'd prefer it if the app just hid all image posts from me. The alt text, when it exists, is going to be trash most of the time anyway.
