Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate
  • Executives do not see workers as people with skillsets.

    Ain't that the truth. My company is thinking about replacing all of their technical staff with AI. That's going to be utterly hilarious to watch from the sidelines.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • It happens in the real world too.

    In the positive cases the local police force and / or military manages to convince the government that it is a non-supportable act and nothing happens. In the bad cases it results in government officials getting lynched in the end.

    Some people point blank refuse to learn from history, no matter how many times it is repeated.

  • Sike!
  • I'm not quite sure what the complaint here is? USB is a standard, and the problem was that we didn't have the standard installed. The fact you've got a slightly different version of the standard is a simple problem to solve by owning a cheap cable.

    In fact it's literally the same as having USB-C on both ends, since it's still only the one cable. A to C, or C to C, it makes no difference

  • Anon takes a driving test
  • I told my partner to turn left an intersection and she couldn't remember which was which, so she went straight ahead instead. Like the choice locked her up, and resulted in no action being taken at all. I assume we would have driven into a building if it had been a T-junction

  • Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.
  • This is one guy I work with and he really pisses me off, he's so stupid and he does so many dumb things that waste my time, so I also have to use chat GPT to be a liaison between me and him otherwise I'll probably get fired for being unprofessional.

  • Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.
  • The glue on pizza thing is really stupid because it's the only one AI that advises that. All the others do not advise putting glue on pizza.

    The presence of one stupid person in your school does not make everyone else stupid. Fortunately, because there's always one stupid kid

  • Don’t Ask AI Which Rocks You Can Lick.
  • Without getting into whether or not AI is actually useful technology or not, there are a lot of people that have decided they hate it, and want to lambast it at every opportunity. So they ask it really stupid questions, the sort of questions that a 4-year-old asks you repeatedly, then report what it answers as if their stupid question in some way devalues the AI.

  • Robert Jenrick, from the little I know - this couldn’t have been a worse result. Are the Tories now a far-right party then?
  • Historically they were a center right party. They've moved progressively more and more right in recent decades but I'm old enough to remember when they were basically okay. They were never all that good, but they did at least have a few social policies and sensible immigration policies, that weren't just, ban or brown people.

    They used to be all about small government and letting people get on with their lives, which wasn't very helpful for people who needed support, but for everybody else it was okay. At least they funded the damn police.

    Now they don't even have coherent policies anymore, and actively seem to make everyone's lives worse (Brexit), unless they're in the upper 1%.

  • Spoiler text renders as white on white when revealed

    When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

    When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

    See images below for demonstration.

    !spoiler text is hidden

    !spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

    !text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
