  • Regarding your specific example, there pretty good reasons not to use AI if there’s an adequate alternative, so I can absolutely understand people arguing against that.

    AI is resource intensive and thus bad for the environment. Results usually aren’t deterministic, so the behavior is no longer reproducible. If there is a defined algorithm to solve the issue in a correct way, AI will be less accurate. If you use cloud services, you may run into privacy issues.

    Not saying there aren’t any use cases for LLMs or other forms of AI. But just applying it everywhere 'cause it’s fancy, is not a good idea.

    In general, I appreciate if people question my work or come up with proposals for improvement as long as it’s polite and the person is at least qualified to some degree. However, that does not mean that I change my mind immediately and follow their advice.







  • I guess in many companies that’s the reasons why policies were intentionally made less flexible lately. They lower remote work because they want a certain percentage of employees to leave. During COVID many tech companies had a huge peak in demand and hired a ton of people. Now, as demand lowered, they’re looking for cheap ways to get rid of the staff again.

    IMHO it’s not a smart tactic because you tend to lose the best employees first as they easily find a better opportunity elsewhere.




  • This sounds like a very weird policy to me. The mails to my account are 99.9…% mails from other services. Registrations, newsletters, order confirmations, password resets etc. If you filter out such mails, the account would be pretty meaningless to me. And if it unlocks automatically, also scammers can wait a couple of days between account creation and using it.




  • Personally, I’m not offended when referred to as ‘-sexual’. In general, I don’t see my gender as an important part of my identity. I guess I’m ‘just’ cis male but I don’t see that as restrictive in any way.

    But thanks for your explanation! Good to know that there’s a negative connotation tied to that term and other people might be offended. I’ll try to keep it in in mind for future discussions. :)







  • I use Lemmy a lot to debate or read other people’s perspectives. While content is more important than the vote count, I’m still interested to see what are (un)popular opinions here (knowing that it definitely doesn’t represent the general public!).

    Unfortunately, seeing the votes immediately also increases your bias towards posts or comments, so it may have a negative impact on on your individual free thinking.

    An ideal compromise for me would be to see how other people voted, but only after I voted myself.
