That's convenient..

Stick to sites you know. If you're looking for a review and you get a hit on a site you don't know there's a better than 50% chance it's just an ad generated site (and frequently these days just the output from chatgpt).

Sucks for lesser known sites that are trying to get noticed, but unless google work out a way of removing the crap from feeds that's the way it is.

Same with youtube.. unless you trust the reviewer, assume it's paid unless there's good evidence otherwise.

Search for reddit/lemmy mentions specifically.. although those can be astroturfed too.. but the comments are generally helpful.

You're clearly a known customer for those products :p The algorithm is never wrong..

There's also some stuff about interoperability which is partly why threads were making noises about the fediverse.

The requirement for reporting and blocking tools presents a problem for X, which has just removed those. Although it wouldn't surprise me to see Musk just pull out of the non-US market altogether . He's trying to turn it into a payment platform and doing that in every country simultaneously would be impossible.

“We do not share SAT scores or GPAs with Facebook or TikTok, and any other third parties using pixel or cookies,”

shows clear evidence that they do, in fact, share these things

It seems like a new anti Tesla article hits lemmy every day. It's boring at this point.

Part of the children problem is distinguishing between 'small' and 'far away'. Humans seem reasonably good at it, but from what I've seen AIs aren't there yet.

One of the advantages of working from home is you can have the meeting on in the background and get on with some real work. When it comes your time to speak you've lost maybe 5 minutes instead of an hour.

They need to ditch Musk.. he's toxic to the brand now.

It's situational.. the on that the papers all quoted that claimed workimg from home was less productive was based on about 200 data entry clerks in India. It doesn't really apply outside that business and the sample was so small you couldn't draw a conclusion anyway.

Meanwhile plenty of cases of productivity increasing (including ours) and they're situational too.

I think it'll come down to... Good companies can get the best out of workers wherever they are. If managers have issues with productivity they need to look in the mirror.

Small companies are often under long leases. Our landlord was quite flexible and let us break the lease if we did the work to find a new tenant, but most wouldn't be.

And yes we are coming out ahead, by quite a lot.. offices aren't cheap even the tiny one we tried to use temporarily.. have now ditched that and gone totally remote.

I did it from stage 1 once.. wasn't a fast computer either. You have to compile the tools to compile the tools. Then compile the base packages, then everything else..

Alas you can't do that any more. Pity as it was fun.
