That local should be eligible for sainthood, or at least a key to the city

If Walmart is paying more, than it’s time to go work for Walmart. As the other comment said, they’re greedy, and the only way to get around this is to show them that they won’t take it. They lowered the wage because they know the employees won’t do anything about it.

I really hate journalists for how they treat new things like this. “And then it crashed”. What to get a click? Sour public opinion?

Orvilles first flight only went a few feet. If they had a modern day article now about it they’d say it flopped and the comments would be full of laughing emojis

Agree, and I think it’s funny someone downvoted you because that’s always been the case, AI didn’t change that. It’s just now we’re seeing the next evolution and we’ll see who sticks around and who doesn’t.

This is the only sane answer here, and it makes sense because of the sentiment on Lemmy.

There is one constant rule about software engineering. You must be adaptable. The career is ever changing, you need to be okay with that. I think a lot of people right now are finding out that if they dig in their heels they think they’re making a point, but the company doesn’t care, there’s the door. AI is just another change in the career. Adapt, or be left behind.

The job isn’t the same as it was 5 years ago, which also was different than it was 10 years before that, and then 10 years before that. I’ll say this is a large change, but that’s the job.

I think the biggest thing is there’s no room for “I’m a react engineer” anymore. Everyone needs to be everything, and it means learn as much as you can as fast as you can. You must be a “T-shaped” engineer. Wide breadth, with specific deep knowledge that makes you stand out. You can be an expert at react, but should also know how to code in the backend, and how to deploy, how to work with APIs, some basic cloud architecture. If you’re not learning, you’re falling behind.

Damn how many girlfriends have you gotten pregnant?

Fairphone has their own with /e/OS

Its like reading straight from the fossil fuel propaganda.

Absolutely untrue. All of it. It might have been true 15 years ago but not anymore.

My EV loses about 20% in the cold at its worse. We charge every four days instead of every five. Hardly “significant”.

the combustion engine is still significantly more efficient at creating the kinetic energy from raw oil than an EV from any type of power plant’s fuel

bruh the entire video you’re commenting on here is a 40 minute in depth explanation on how inefficient gasoline engines are at kinetic energy and why hybrids are literally filling that gap

as well as idle waste

This is such an edge case. “Hey if you let your vehicle sit for months on end that energy may go unused”. Not only have I not experienced this, and I’m highly skeptical of this claim, it is overwhelmingly outweighed by how you haven’t literally been burning gasoline the entire life of the vehicle.

If we’re looking at air conditioning and other electrical stuff, the engine and alternator system is probably not quite as efficient at charging the battery as the power grid and EV chargers are. It’s at least closer.

Probably? Tell me how the alternator which is a mini generator is “not quite” s efficient as the industrial generators whose job it is to literally do it 24/7.

Dude we’re already there. We already did close the gap. Literally everything you said was provably false and straight from what big oil wants you to think.

I own an EV personally. I have personally debunked absolutely everything you have said and everything else that has been hurled at me for why they are so horrible. It is by far the easiest vehicle I’ve ever owned, the most reliable, and I will never go back to an ice vehicle. My entire “fill up” equivalent price is $6 of electricity. Total. The total amount of driving to offset the mining/initial construction offsets was about 12k miles, which we are well past. The battery keeps a charge now just as well as the day it rolled off the lot.

So please, feel free to keep throwing more basic “they just won’t work” excuses because I’m literally driving proof every day that they’re wrong.

Isn’t that what the bill says top? Stop the conversation, talk to someone professional.

Oh no doubt they’re horrible. Just that when looking through the lens of propaganda where a huge argument t against EVs is that it’s still hooked up to a per plant, that the pollution is not 1:1, that even the worst case power plant beats out an ICE vehicle.

But that requires critical thinking and nuance and Facebook commenters got no time for that.

Damn, the average efficiency of an internal combustion engine is <30%, with the best hovering around 40%. That’s an insane waste energy, and does explain why they get so hot.

This is why the anti-EV propaganda is so bunk. Even if you plug an EV into a grid that is 100% dirty coal powered, you’re still more efficient than hauling around a gas engine that has such a low efficiency. Turns out, power plants don’t like wasting that much energy and do everything they can to squeeze as much power as they can out of it.

Then you add on that even the worst power districts in the US sit around 40% renewables and… yeah.

Sure, but that’s not my point. Social pressures aside, there is no way for instance a to control what instance (or server, or data collector) B does with it. Unless you audit every server federated, there is no way to know if anyone is doing anything with your data.

3 letter agencies can and may even already have servers that look like ordinary fediverse servers already just happily listening and storing everything. No amount of social pressure here is going to stop that. So all users need to understand this about the fediverse, that anyone can do whatever they want with your data whenever. For privacy, go to Matrix.

Great. You show me an 10 foot fence I’ll show you an 11 foot ladder. Go ahead and audit every server that federates with you, send them a questionaire. There’s absolutely nothing stopping the next lemvotes from setting another server up, and there is nothing stopping any three letter agency from setting up their own listening server.

Of course, apologies if my comment came off as you independently are doing something crazy that we should all defederate. You absolutely are not in my book doing something outlandish.

My point only was that I don’t know why someone on piefed.social feels the need to post in lemmy.world about something that is what appears to me to be an internal instance choice.

Db0 to you directly, and for everyone reading, you have done more for the fediverse than the vast majority here and are up with the developers in my book. You have built tools for the fediverse that most will never see that keep onslaughts of abuse from hitting our servers. Personally, you have helped me with my own server helping me debug now almost three years ago. It will take much more than rimu’s personal issues with you to burn through the goodwill you’ve built up with me, and I assume the other admins.

Personally, while I am not a mod or an admin of this channel, I would argue that a personal vendetta is not relevant to the fediverse channel amd I hope these posts are both removed. I agree that they are thinly veiled attempts at trying to manipulate admins.

This is a good take, and I appreciate it.

The cold hard fact is that there are a lot of bad actors, even here on Lemmy. Most users are sheltered from it because of good mods and admins. It’s easy to shit on them, but these people sort through the absolute muck. There’s a reason we don’t have racists and gore and CP here, and it’s because they keep all of it at bay away from eyes here. I know this because I firsthand have seen some of the permanently scarring shit, and it was only a small fraction of what mods on world deal with.

Soi don’t blame moderated arching out tools that help them not see it.

However each admin and mod have to decide for themselves and their users what is best for them, and that is purely an admin level decision for their server. The fediverse is very cool that everyone can make their own rules, and I like that nuance.

You are correct, and it’s what I was suggesting op do if they don’t like what other admins do. It’s right there.

As for viewing votes there’s a whole site dedicated to showing everyone’s votes, it’s called Lemvotes. Feel free to say please, but people are still going to do it. Votes and everything elsewhere are very much public, best to get used to that now.

Absolutely it is. Grab a bucket and relax

@rimu@piefed.social is this the cause of your issue yesterday? We talked about this for hours. Just defederate.

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com is an admin, he owns the server, he can do what he likes on that server.

As I said yesterday, and overwhelmingly everyone chimed in agreeing: This is the nature of the fediverse. You do not get to make rules for the entire fediverse.

You are on piefed.social, just block his server from your feed you dislike it so much.

Yesterday’s Post

The fun is literally joining in with the author.

by definition, that is adding walls and gates to the fediverse, which is why this whole thread started. The fediverse was specifically designed to oppose those features at all, specifically because of what we’re seeing now. Gates have keys and gatekeepers, and as we’ve seen in the greater world, those can change hands in the blink of an eye.
