For the love of god, defund MBAs.

He’s a master at knowing what will make someone click

He effectively dedicated a couple years to “study” this, which is exactly what you can do with your life when you live in Greenville, NC.

5 apps with 2 responses, and locally? You’re doing really well. Seriously. It sounds like you are qualified enough to get what you want, and the number of responses already is a very good sign.

Small rant:

My experience: a Ph.D., two years applying through Indeed/LinkedIn/directly, several rounds of professional development to overhaul networking approaches/resumes, maybe 150 applications, and I maybe hear back in a couple months with a form letter rejection. The few interviews I’ve had were either a company looking for a unicorn (or just lying about a position), something that lead to a task-based assessment, or a goddamn AI-analyzed one-way interview which is the biggest red flag.

Tl;dr it’s really bad out there, and you honestly have great results so far, even if it doesn’t seem like it! All the best to you, and I hope you find something you’ll enjoy.

I can’t stretch my dumb fingers to swipe down from the top with my thumb, one-handed, on a 14 or 15. The 13 mini is perfect.

This stuff is bangin

You know what, it was the n+1 piece! Thank you!

There’s a NYT article somewhere, and I’ve been desperately trying to find it, about a woman who worked as some kind of real estate(?) call center AI augmenter. Essentially people would call in about listings or something, and she had to step in when the AI went off the tracks or didn’t know how to answer questions, matching its tone/inflection while refusing to acknowledge that there was a human stepping in. She ended up being super burnt out from the job. So the whole system was just super redundant, awful for the people working there, and as we’ve come to expect from AI, just a half-baked turd sold to some MBAs for a mint.

Edit: it was a n+1 piece, thanks @Tikiporch@lemmy.world

I know this is a cop-out because of the vast number of other improvements to devices and infrastructure, but I really liked having a seemingly indestructible phone with a removable 10-day battery and an absolute death grip on that 2g/3g network.

Unfortunately he’s shown that he can handle one tree. I suggest doubling it.

That and a set of kneepads.

The ISP motto: “I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”

“John Wayne Toilet Paper: don’t take shit off nobody.”

Sadly, I don’t think so. The pandemic-era cash grab solution was software that’s basically spyware, logging keystrokes, mouse movements, taking screenshots, etc. Some clever individuals just taped vibrators to their mice and walked away for breaks. You’re asking middle management to do real work here, ya silly.

When C. Diff Strikes: Mile High Edition

Don’t worry, we’ll shovel more garbage reality shows into your app and wreck the ux even harder. Here’s 40 seasons of people having diarrhea on airplanes. Expect price increases in 6 months.

Just to specify, the issue is with the Hannah Reyes Morales set (avert your gaze to the children bedazzled with shrapnel instead!)

They have windows in the basement?

It’s not technically hacking when Elon leaves the door open after slamming his dick in it.

I am also reasonably sure — not 100%, but reasonably — that Siri has something to do with the transcription process for visual voicemail.
