I just browse all from time to time and if I recognize interesting / funny content from a community several times I subscribe.

Regarding your specific example, there pretty good reasons not to use AI if there’s an adequate alternative, so I can absolutely understand people arguing against that.

AI is resource intensive and thus bad for the environment. Results usually aren’t deterministic, so the behavior is no longer reproducible. If there is a defined algorithm to solve the issue in a correct way, AI will be less accurate. If you use cloud services, you may run into privacy issues.

Not saying there aren’t any use cases for LLMs or other forms of AI. But just applying it everywhere 'cause it’s fancy, is not a good idea.

In general, I appreciate if people question my work or come up with proposals for improvement as long as it’s polite and the person is at least qualified to some degree. However, that does not mean that I change my mind immediately and follow their advice.

Also, we first have to define more precisely what ‘being 2’ means. E.g., if we just count birthdays and one of them is born on Feb 29th in a leap year, that person ‘ages’ with 1/4 of the speed.

I use the regular KeePass 2 and love it. It looks a bit oldfashioned but is a very powerful tool once you get used to it a bit. As there are plenty of addons you can also easily extend the standard feature set with further options.

Appreciate your work and support for the Fediverse although I personally don’t miss the AI-based recommendation algorithms from the big platforms. If you keep watching ‘your interests’ it also hardens your personal media bubble. I prefer ‘dumb’ algorithms like ‘most upvoted’, ‘most controversial’, ‘newest’ etc.

I guess in many companies that’s the reasons why policies were intentionally made less flexible lately. They lower remote work because they want a certain percentage of employees to leave. During COVID many tech companies had a huge peak in demand and hired a ton of people. Now, as demand lowered, they’re looking for cheap ways to get rid of the staff again.

IMHO it’s not a smart tactic because you tend to lose the best employees first as they easily find a better opportunity elsewhere.

If you know a more reliable source for Mexico, it would be great if you could correct that incorrect article. I just stumbled across Germany not being listed in the original post as I know from several sources that there are +/- 10% vegetarians here.

This seems to be

1. a random selection of countries rather than the top ranking ones and also
2. the numbers seem to be pretty low compared to other sources.

At least as per Wikipedia, Mexico has around 19%, Brazil /China/Taiwan 14% etc. I live in Germany and here vegetarians are typically estimated at around 10% which corresponds to the number in Wikipedia but it’s not even listed in the graphic above.

Maybe she really, really fell for you. You should definitely write back, not to miss the love of your life.

I still use Firefox on PC and Fennec on my mobile. So far I have no plans to change that.

This sounds like a very weird policy to me. The mails to my account are 99.9…% mails from other services. Registrations, newsletters, order confirmations, password resets etc. If you filter out such mails, the account would be pretty meaningless to me. And if it unlocks automatically, also scammers can wait a couple of days between account creation and using it.

Why not just remodel existing Cheetos into a new shape? I’m pretty sure that with the right tools and some time you can cover up any marks of manipulation.

How often does that happen and where do you live? I experienced a bunch of outages but never was there damage to any electronics.

I disagree with your comment but don’t think such comments should be deleted by mods unless it’s specifically posted in a positivity-focused community. If users have a different opinion they can downvote the comment or put their arguments in a separate comment below.
