Yeah I've noticed that there are far fewer job postings these days than there were a few months ago.

This is a misleading headline. The survey question asked if you know any friends OR CLASSMATES who have generated AI nudes. If just one kid in a large school generates AI nudes and a lot of other kids find out about it, then those kids will answer yes on this survey. So this statistic doesn't do a good job of indicating exactly how widespread this is.

Very mysterious. I wonder if she knew what the baggage room was for, or if she just wandered in there. Hoping we'll find out more details.

 

I don't normally listen to much pop music, so I know I'm a bit late to the party on this one. But I've noticed that in modern pop music, artists will sometimes release a "normal" version of a song, then a few weeks later they'll release the same song again, except one of the verses is replaced with a feature. It's not a remix, it's just the same song but with another artist singing some different lyrics.

Is there a name for this type of song? How long has this been going on? When was this trend started?

I'm confused, does this mean that an ad can show the URL "google.com" even though clicking on it will take you to a different URL? Why doesn't Google just make it so that the ad shows the actual URL that the ad links to?

Interesting, I didn't know there were so many assassination attempts in the past.

I remember using ChaCha. Good times

 

I've been looking for a new job as a software developer. The huge majority of job listings I see in my area are hybrid or remote. I just had an introductory phone call with Vizio (which didn't specify the location type in the job listing). The recruiter told me that the job was fully on-site, which I told her was a deal breaker for me.

It makes me wonder how many other people back out after hearing that the job is on-site. And it makes me wonder why this wasn't specified in the job description. I assume most people only want hybrid or remote jobs these days, right?

Anyways I was just wondering how many of you guys apply for on-site IT jobs? Hybrid is so much better, I don't know why people would apply for on-site jobs unless they have no other options.

I'm glad that the government is trying to address the issue of social media, but obviously adding warnings isn't going to do anything.

I think the only way to actually solve the problem would be to regulate the recommendation algorithms to make them less addictive and less harmful.

Apple could easily do the bare minimum to keep regulators at bay while still keeping the experience as shitty as possible so that Android will continue to look bad. For example they could refuse to implement reactions or typing indicators, or they could even deliberately compress videos. I'm expecting the worst until we see otherwise.

It's cool to see someone making a product like this. I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to use phones more mindfully, and I had an idea for a concept very similar to this. So it's cool to see that other people are on the same wavelength as me.

It would be cooler if the brick was activated by NFC instead of scanning it though. But maybe that's an improvement they can make in a future version.

This article doesn't make any sense. A project's "success" can't really be measured in any objective way like the article is implying. Even saying that a project is "on time" is a vague statement depending on the situation, and it's not a good way to measure the quality of the end result or the efficiency of the development team.

I think this will only strengthen his core supporters because they'll view him as a martyr. It might push away some people on the fence. But I think the martyrdom angle and the increased media spotlight could pull some people back in. Personally I think it probably won't make a difference overall. All publicity is good publicity.

 

I just learned that Xbox Live Arcade was a service that first started on the original Xbox, not Xbox 360. You had to order a disc online that would let you access the XBLA store. Here's the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Live_Arcade

I've never heard anyone talk about this before, so I think this is really interesting. A lot of the OG XBLA games don't even have wikipedia pages, so I'm guessing this service was pretty obscure when it came out? Anyways I found some Youtube videos of some of the games, so here's some gameplay clips if anyone is interested:

ThinkTanks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSJ0t8cIQYc

Mutant Storm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PpS1giWPGw

Did any of you guys ever use Xbox Live Arcade on the original Xbox? What did you think of it? I'm curious to hear more about it.

 

No spoilers

I loved FF7 Remake, but Rebirth is really not doing it for me. My main issue with it is the story. It feels totally aimless. Almost nothing meaningful has happened in the entire 35 hours I've played. Also, I find most of the characters to be very annoying. The dialogue and cinematography are awkward. (Why are there so many uncomfortable close-ups of characters faces? Why do the female characters keep giggling for no reason? Tifa and Aerith don't seem to know each other very well but they sure like to giggle to each other.)

I do love the combat system though. And the open world stuff is often enjoyable. But it doesn't make up for how the story feels like such a slog.

Does anyone else feel this way? I was expecting to love this game after loving Remake so much, but honestly at this point I'm just forcing myself to finish the game so I can make sure I'm caught up for part 3.

 

I have the opportunity to maybe get a job as a software developer at a small software company that employs 14 people. But my gut is telling me that getting a job at a small company like that might he terrible. Do you guys have any experiences working at companies that small?

In my mind, I imagine the CEO would have a very large presence at the company and everyone would feel a lot of pressure to appease him. I imagine that the whole company would just be a boys' club. But I guess any company can be like that, so maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, and the size of the company isn't actually related to company culture?

Please let me know if you have any thoughts.

EDIT: The company has been around for two decades

 

Hi, I'm trying to find YouTube channels that make videos like this: https://youtu.be/bCQMHjDAJZU?si=jeFNvxTGK95o0YWQ

Basically I want channels that cover new/upcoming games, talking about them in a casual and unscripted way. I like these videos because they're a great way to stay informed on current games.

Giant Bomb used to be known for making videos like this, but unfortunately they stopped making them. Game Informer's "New Gameplay Today" videos are basically the same thing, but I'd like to find a channel that makes videos like this a bit more frequently. Do you guys know of any channels like this? Thanks

 

I noticed that the track "Canon (Primo)" by Justice only has 5,815 plays on Spotify, even though every other track on the album has millions of plays. How is this possible? I know it's just an interlude track that you wouldn't listen to unless you're listening to the full album, but still, this play count seems extremely low. What's going on here? (I'm hoping my attached screenshot shows up here)

 

I'm looking for a website where I can practice SQL by doing challenges. Like something where it provides you with some tables and you're tasked with writing a script to achieve a certain output. I know how to do basic SELECT and UPDATE commands and stuff, but I need a way to practice writing more complex scripts. What do you guys recommend?

 

In Windows 11 there's a button on the taskbar next to the start button that lets you switch between multiple desktop environments. It seems like something that would probably be useful in theory, but I can't think of any reason why I would want to use it. Is it actually useful? What do people use it for?

 

I'm asking because I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way for me to handle my notes at work. Currently I just use a txt file in Notepad++. I use this file to track all of the stuff I have to do, such as tasks for stories I'm working on, next steps for projects, discussions I need to follow up on, questions and ideas I want to bring up, etc. The way I organize the document works pretty well for me, but I'm just curious how other people do it.

 

I've finished the main story and I've grinded some Lynel guts to upgrade the soldier armor (I currently have 64 armor points total when wearing the set.) I've also defeated one King Gleeok, and I've completed two of the large maze structures.

I'm not really sure what I should do next. The obvious answer is to do side quests, but so far I haven't really enjoyed them. (I particularly don't like the ones that involve gathering info at stables.) What should I do next? What's the most enjoyable side content to do? Maybe I should track down all of the Sages Wills, or defeat all of the Gleeoks?

 

Hi, I'm following the Ansible setup instructions located here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible

When I run the ansible-playbook command, I get this error. It's very long and hard to read, but I think the error is related to nginx:

https://pastebin.com/VKvzHYad

Also, here's the output on my target machine when I check nginx status:

https://pastebin.com/JfkCA5kL

Any ideas on what I should do? After doing some Googling and asking ChatGPT, it looks like my issue might have something to do with IPv6 compatibility or something like that. Unfortunately I'm not very knowledgeable about networking stuff, so I'm not sure how to identify or fix the issue.

SOLUTION:

I solved the problem by commenting out the line listen [::]:80 in templates/nginx.conf, and also commenting out the same line on the target server in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default.
