Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings over 30 who try to stay active, what are you doing to accommodate for your incredibly decrepit bodies to avoid boo-boos?English
171·3 days agoAsking the real question. I’m in my 40’s now and doing fine. Sure I’m not literally invincible anymore like I was as a teenager but everything works as it should.
Also on iOS. Totally not usable. I bet it’s a phased rollout.
Aaaaand broken on mobile. Can’t do the discovery queue because the “next” button gets pushed down below the UI now.

Like, incomparably so… which is really saying something because coke tastes like a big spoon full of sugar with some corn syrup and a food coloring chaser.

Also “how to ethically cite sources in public discourse”.

16·6 days agoIf you’re going to just copy paste some out of context slop you could at least just provide a link (he says, knowing that probably came right out of a “write me a paragraph proving that porn is bad” ChatGPT session).
Or are you going to say that “[3]” citation notation in there was totally intentional?
Maybe we should ban anything with a correlative (but not necessarily causative) link to decreased “grey matter” though; let’s start with social media. You’d clearly never use that, right?

Games@lemmy.world•Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027English
233·7 days agoConverting those roles to debuggers and active devs does a lot for both the business and the workforce.
Hahahahaha… on wait you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder.
They’re just gonna lay them off.

Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•Another angle of the UPS Airlines Flight 2976 crash at Louisville International Airport.English
132·7 days agoAt least the front didn’t fall off.
I went from vim to Emacs and loved it, right up until I found Helix. My “just trying it out” became “never opened emacs again”.

Nate Cox@programming.devtoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•The most male and female reasons to be admitted to the hospitalEnglish
50·9 days agoI feel like it needs more obviously only male ones to counteract the obviously only female.
Where’s testicular cancer? Prostate? “Dick stuck in [object]”? You know that last one has to have at least 1000 entries.

Absolutely Third Rock.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps AppEnglish
256·18 days agoThe dumbest of takes indeed.
I am a software engineer with literally decades of experience, I was self hosting websites on personal Linux boxes via dynamic dns before it was cool, and I basically live in my terminal. I’m a proud NixOS user and I spend about as much time shelled in over SSH as I do not.
I use an iPhone because it’s a fucking phone, I use it to browse the web and make calls. I just need it to stay out of my way and not crash.
Maybe deciding that which phone someone uses needs to be a core part of their identity is the actual problem.

233·18 days agoI like my iPhone and I think Jobs was a twat.
The world does not exist in dichotomies like you’re asserting.






Well, I’m pretty happy that I’ve moved most of my app downloads to a nix config I guess.
Seems like a bigger change than deserves to be buried in the changelog. I wonder what the intent here is.
