While I’m not against an anonymous stand for what’s “right”, that really was the tipping point for a lot of changes on 4chan.

It really fuelled the idea that anonymous should have some sort of goal of justice rather than just doing things “for the lulz”. It normalized the concept of shamelessly bringing your internet culture of choice out into the real world regardless of appropriateness (most of the protests were really just 4chan irl meetups, not really protests).

The biggest change was the sheer amount of public attention it drew to the site. That brought in a huge influx of new users who didn’t care to conform to the existing board culture (for better or worse). Things changed considerably following all that mess.

Does homeboy not know about crabcakes? All the taste, none of the pain in the ass and paying for the privilege of preparing your own food. Just get them somewhere that doesn’t use filler.

We don’t curse in this household.

Anyway, guessing it’s the classic “sales sold the demo of a perfectly configured setup maintained by a dedicated team, management expects you to make that happen alone on top of everything else you already do” situation? Multiple years into cleaning up the mess of that shit at my place.

That’s a combination of too simple/short in your sentences, mixed with too specific jargon with no clarification. It’s dumb as hell that people don’t know stuff like what a server is, but if they don’t you have to abstract it more.

My go to is some form of: I’m in IT, I do systems administration. I help keep all the things behind the scenes working so that everyone’s stuff works at my workplace. Less of making your email work, more of making everyone’s email work.

Obviously I work with a hell of a lot more than just email. I’m mostly scripting out custom automation jobs to bridge gaps in the integrations between different systems. But like you said, keep it simple.

The moment you look at even the “best” ones for more than a few seconds you start seeing lots of fun body horror.

That’s the way most discussion trends right now. Blame the tech bros and investors chasing a buck for killing the term AI.

The world is a wildly different place now, and the people developing them were headed by people motivated by reasons other than extracting as much money out of the world at any cost.

This is not nearly as comparable.

Beyond that, very few people had an issue with AI as fuzzy logic and machine learning. Those techniques were already in wide use all over the place to great success.

The term has been co-opted by the generative, largely LLM folks to oversell the product they are offering as having some form of intelligence. They then pivot to marketing it as a solution to the problem of having to pay people to talk, write, or create visual or audio media.

Generally, people aren’t against using AI to simulate countless permutations of motorcycle frame designs to help discover the most optimal one. They’re against wholesale reduction in soft skill and art/content creation jobs by replacing people with tools that are definitively not fit to task.

Pushback against non-generative AI, such as self-driving cars, is general fatigue at being sold something not fit to task and being told that calling it out is being against a hypothetical future.

And someone in your family at some point will take a picture of your kid and put it up on whatever the social media of choice is.

This is just called actually understanding your threat model and fully evaluating the controls available to you. Basic information security.

The most secure password policy in the world doesn’t matter if your users just write them down on sticky notes on their desks. Security on your end doesn’t matter if you’re sending the data to an insecure destination.

Same concepts apply to privacy.

Where meme?

Where? Unless you’re saying people need to pull over on the shoulder because someone wants to speed in the right hand lane.

If you don’t do something stupid like reuse keys just with different capitalization, this never occurs.

PowerShell variable names and function names are not case sensitive.

I understand the conventions of using capitalization of those names having specific meanings in regards to things like constants, but the overwhelming majority of us all use IDEs now with autocomplete.

Personally, I prefer to use prefixes anyway to denote that info. Works better with segmenting stuff for autocomplete, and has less overhead of deriving non-explicit meaning from stuff like formatting or capitalization choices.

On top of that, you really shouldn’t be using variables with the same name but different capitalization in the same sections of code anyway. “Did I mean to use $AGE, $Age, or $age here?” God forbid someone come through to enforce standards or something and fuck that all up.

Huh, what makes this a use case in favor of case sensitive file names? How does git use this feature?

DAE think right wing ragebait talking head #4 is a loser? Updoots to the left!

Unfortunately the low effort political tribalism is likely to just increase as we approach the US elections.

Just block and move on. You’ll eventually end up curating your Lemmy experience to not include the type of folks posting low effort shit like this.

This puts it nicely and succinctly. It’s important to remember that the USA has single states larger than some European countries. It’s enormous.

For as much diversity as there is in wherever you are from… just compare the sizes and think a little.

Trying to take pieces of information, even when from reputable news sources, and apply it to the entirety of this massive place with a wildly diverse population like it’s some sort of insider information that magically applies to all or even most is foolish.

Lol, tell me you’ve never worked IT support again.

The average user can’t remember passwords without browser autofill. They don’t want to tinker. A “just works” linux distro with a relatively limited set of default features targeted to a specific hardware set to avoid complications, like SteamOS on Steam Deck, is pretty much at the limit of the investment level the average user is willing to put in to keep things working.

Anyway, here’s fucking 53 out of my old folder of these, because I have a problem. Behind a spoiler as a small attempt to not kill the mobile users.
