  • Are you me when I was back in school? Is this a loop hole?

    Yes, much of which we learn in school seems/feels unnecessary to a perceived/imagined/planned personal future but its the variety of subjects that creates the basis for multi layered reasoning.

    I am painfully aware Lemmy is mostly populated by high technically proficient individuals but the world is not about to be handled by machines and AI, not now and I risk not ever, simply because there are tasks that can not and should not ever be handled by a machine.

    IT and tech is not the cusp of human achievement.

    So, first you need to learn how to set up the printer, then fetch the bot produced text, review (hopefully), load it to the printer, run a test to determine it every part is working, run the “print”, review it…

    I’d risk doing it yourself would be quicker

  • Unless a lot as changed, they do care.

    Every single laptop and any prebuilt computer I find in the market comes pre installed with a Windows.

    A good friend approached me to install a Linux on a brand new machine and just to make sure we called the customer support line, informing there was interest to return the windows license, as the software would not be used.

    The reply we got was that by removing the software the warranty of the equipment would be null and void. The option was to ship the computer to their maintenance provider and have it removed, with costs presented at end for labour.


  • I really didn’t want to but their comment just reeks of it my guy.

    Except that you did want to. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have done.

    Unless by “doing this shit here as well”, you’re referring to the act of not reading the article, jumping to conclusions, and spreading fear and disinformation.

    In order to be as fair as possible, I went back and read the comment again.

    Is it inflammatory and excessive, while putting out an outlook of distrust towards a new technology? It can be understood as such. Yet, to a degree, I respect and understand that opinion.

    Spurting out “okay boomer” doesn’t dismantle that comment; it’s a personal attack.

    Either add to the conversation on just keep your peace. Makes the world a better place.





  • I knew a person that had a Samoyed for which a simple bath was a two person, 4 hour endeavour, from start to finish, not including the initial chase and wrestle to get the dog in the bathtub.

    The person had the groomers go to their house, where he had the bathtub already setup in the garage and all necessary towels and other assorted equipment.

    The part of actually gettting the dog in the bathtub involved three person, with the dog’s guardian starting to chase the dog around the property from early in the morning, as the dog would do his best to hide, run and stay out of reach of human hands when the bathtub was set on the garage.

    The grooming session would be anything between €80 to €100, in 2008, and still the person thought it was cheap.


  • Prices for food in a restaurant is not that hard to calculate: you figure the cost of one plate of food, multiply it by four and that is price to be charged before taxation.

    One part is for the pantry. One part is for the kitchen staff. One part is for the room staff. One part is for the house.

    Not hard to figure.

    Drinks and beverages are basically all profit, unless you want to drink water with a refined meal (the healthiest/best option but most people won’t), so you will pay for a soft drink twice or triple what it costs you at the store and lets not start talking about wines, beers or, even worse, spirits.

    Wherever you work, are you so powerful there that you can refuse to follow intructions or operational guidelines? Are you so financially secure you can just quit your job and leave if you are aware the company is involved in unethical practices? Don’t you those who depend or rely on you for security in their lives?

    If so, congratularions.

    But many, if not most, don’t have that power and security. They need to work in order to live and take care of others.

    Going back to the tweeter/musk debacle: how many were purged from the company or left it for dissent, how many stayed, even though they knew the company was going to engage in behaviours and practices completely contrary to its history and how many have really signed up for the new boss’s “vision”?

    Crude analogy but valid enough.

    If the company was to be dissolved as punitive action, as you suggest, where would those who stayed because they had to find jobs, considering they would be condemned by association?

    Wait, let me try to answer that on your behalf: it would be necessary to lead proper investigations, to determine who was voluntarily, willingly, involved and those who were stuck with no other option.

    Or are you perhaps suggesting that no matter what, the moment you complied, regardless your personal agreement, you are as guilty as those who made the initial decision that turned the company on its head?

    This isn’t a black and white world. Please stop to consider these downfall of your decisions onto others.
