From a European perspective (I use car/bicycle/train/longboard), a few pointers rather than a pro-con/list
The more people use a bicycle, even casually, The more it put pressures on local politician to do something
For short distances (<5km) in town, it’s faster than the car
Gloves are more important than helmet, on the couple of fall I got, gloves protected my hands, while my head didn’t hit. However, if you’re in a severe accident a helmet can make the difference so I still recommend one.
Beware of your clothe, if you wear black, at night, without lights, you call for problem, and I can see how even good faith motorists can hit you.
Paint isn’t infrastructure but at least remind the motorists that you have the right to be there. I can see how the mayor call the infrastructure director and ask them for bike lane without any budget, but it sucks
Be a bit agressive, and look for eye-contact before passing between car, keep distance from parked car, they can open a door, If you don’t think a car can pass you with a safe distance (small urban streets) stay in the middle of the road, and stop to the side when you can to let the car pass you.
A backpack, or bike pack helps a lot carrying groceries, not really an excuse
The problem isn’t that much the winter (unless you live on a really cold place) but the rain, good clothe can help, but still.
Sure, if you deal with customer
It’s still a nice way to get someone coordinates, like who is the sales person, or the tech support tech, or the researcher.
If you go to conference/trade fairs people willstill exchange cards.
Bon anniversaire truc merdique qui marche, putain, un an. Sur reddit ce serait un changement de compte, ici, on est encore trop petit pour que ça fasse le moindre sens, on me reconnaitrait aussitôt. (Après, il est pas dit qu’à un moment je ne migre pas)
C’est cool que ça ait pris, c’est pas bien remplis, mais il y a un peu d’activité, en tout cas suffisamment pour y poster de temps en temps
AI is being used to replace a lot of jobs, but companies usually do not want to advertise that.
I would be careful with that statement.
I’ve been involved in some projects about “leveraging on data” to reduce maintenance costs. And a big pitfall is that you still someone to do the job. Great, now, you know that the “Primary pump” is about to break. You still need to send a tech to replace-it, and often you have to deal with a user who can’t afford to turn the system off until the repair is done, and the you can’t let someone work alone in the area. So you end-up having to send 2 persons asap to repair the “primary pump”.
It’s a bit better in term of planning/ressources than “Send 2 persons to diagnose what’s going wrong, get the part and do the repair”, which allows to replace engineer able to do a diagnostic by technicians able to execute a procedure (which is itself an issue as soon as you have to think out of the box). It allow to have a more dynamic “preventive maintenance planning”. So somehow, it helped cutting down the maintenance costs and improve system reliability. But in the end, you still need staff to do the repair. And I let alone, all the manpower needed to collect/process the data, hardware engineer looking on how to integrate sensor in the machines, data-engineer building a data-base able to use these data, data-scientists building efficient algorithm, product maintenance expert trying to make-sense of these data and so on.
I feel like, a big chunk of the AI will be similar, with some jobs being cut down (or less qualified) while tons of new jobs will take over

Yes, or have a general thread for all the “games”, it’s IMO, more efficient to bring some more stuff to an already active community than to have an empty community. This kind of daily threads helps keeping the c/ active
Have you checked the various “casual communities?” with lemmy size, I would like to see more active c/ and less empty ones
Is that already done? Remember the big protest against it 10years ago.
In the end how useless it is? And how much of a money pit it is/was
As I said, this issues also exists on “centralized social media” see for example that story https://www.wired.com/story/apple-photo-bug-resurfaced-fix-icloud/
No Idea whether apple’s term of service involve letting them use your photo to train their IA
Yes, it also seems that the “delete” do not federated that well, and may come late.
However, on proprietary social media, d deleted posts are just “hidden”, and there is various way to see deleted, moderated posts.
Despite laws like"right to be forgotten" and GDPR, assume that once you posted something on Internet it’ll be there forever. Not a big deal if it’s a graduation picture, or your time at last week end Marathon. More annoying if it’s nude or a rant about “lazy immigrants stealing our jobs to get welfare”
Thanks for retrying, the result is… let’s say… awesome

Honestly, if someone pulls a knife you’re fucked anyway. I like to say that the best sport for self defence is track running. Less risk of being injured, and no risk of dealing with legal consequences of injuring someone.
have you played that game where everyone write a subjet and put it on a stack of paper, then everyone puts a verb on a different stack of paper, then everyone put an object on a third stack of paper, and you can even add a place or whatever on the next stack of paper. You end-up with fun sentences like A cat eat Kevin’s brain on the beach. It’s the kind of stuff (pre-)teen do to have a good laugh.
Chat GPT somehow works the same way, except that instead of having 10 paper in 5 stack, it has millions of paper in thousands of stack and depending on the “context” will choose which stack it draws paper from (To take an ELI5 analogy)
How long was the exposure ? Feel like you used a long exposure or a high gain, and that it wasn’t that nice in real life
People should grow up and take responsibility for their lives.
This is something on I don’t agree at all with liberals. When people are manipulated by cult-like technique (or even (social) media optimized to give their brain a fix of dopamine) it’s not about their individual responsiblity but the responsiblity of the assholes manipulating them.
Incineration, is the standard way of getting rid of non recyclable waste (a lot of plastic can be recycled) not that green but it allows to produce electricity and hot water which saves some oil
Have you asked each company in details? It’s typically the kind of small business who understands everyone unique case rather than a large corporation full of procedures and lawyers.
I assume they would rather reschedule to not loose the money, but a way to cancel may exists
I might get down voted, but even for software dev, not all jobs can be done remotely. Software may need to interact with hardware, which requires to be on site. I am all in for hybrid or remote work, but totally see why some jobs require to be “on site”
