17% and they’re already crying about it.

Ironically it’s the closest the US has gotten to a BDS policy in its history with Israel.

Sounds like an anxiety inducing app. And I thought sleep tracking was anxiety inducing. Imagine getting a notification that you might have ass cancer.

I would hope just motion activated. I really don’t want to have to yell at my toilet either.

I worked for Cisco during the time IoT was being pushed into everything. You don’t want to know how bad it is. If I was malicious I could have easily written several backdoors into their products without anyone knowing. I wrote kernel code in their IOS operating system. There are no checks on that shit and the entire switching team does next to zero peer review on kernel security.

Yes, there products that (at the time) touched upwards of 95% of all packets sent over the Internet.

Yeah but what if you could make it worse? What if you could add the garbage motion sensor that takes ten hand waves to get working? Or add a touch screen that showed you visually how hot or cold the water was and could also show you ads?

The problem isn’t necessarily smart toilets. The problem is companies attempting to have complete control over the product and ensuring that their products do not function without dependency on their infrastructure.

There is no functional reason to have a toilet connect to an outside server. There are no functional reasons to have many of these smart devices require outside dependencies. But their profits and their subscription models definitely benefit from being able to remotely disable features.

Technology is garbage not because we’ve gone too far with Technology. Technology is garbage because of capitalism.

I am currently actually. My startup I put my heart into for 5 years got bought out by $BIG_COMPANY for pennies on the dollar a couple years ago. Have just been giving about 2-5% effort since. Half the people that built our startup got screwed over and laid off. It felt only right to give zero effort since then as a survivor of it. Waiting for $BIG_COMPANY to drop next round of layoffs and rethink my career.

I love programming. But this field is just garbage to the people that care about it. I’m bitter for sure. Collecting a paycheck until then. I’m surprised at how little effort I can give and still not get fired.

And don’t even get my started on how much this field exploits the fuck out of H1 visas for what is basically modern day serfdom.

I think the more the autism the more you’re frustrated that the other autistic people didn’t connect to your sarcasm. It’s the autism paradox. We found something we thought was relatable to normies and lost all relatability to other neurodivergent people in an attempt to be normal and still no one fucking got it.

But we’re on fucking Lemmy. We’re all on a level of neurodivergence I’m sure.

Thanks. I was trying to match some dry humor with the frustrations the relationship with wage labor frustrations and my usual balance of alcohol. I’m glad it hit for someone.

I actually appreciate all the downvotes and comments. I’ll take the “make people think”. Which is why I think my comment got so many replies. Enjoyable either way.

That was the joke. Maybe it was too Meta. Maybe it needed /s tag. But sometimes you just leave a tongue in cheek comment and miss. I’m ok if it was a miss. But I think if you took it seriously you probably outrank me.

I’m glad someone enjoyed my humor. I’m a mix between your most annoying coworker and your favorite coworker that approves your PR whenever you ping them. No unit test attached? Approved. Im sure you’re gonna do that when you have the time. Just make sure you address my minor comment that looks like I had some feedback ok?

You’re probably right. I should assume the autism level is above average here… My bad. But your mom’s cunt is pretty wet when she rubs it on my face. Not your best analogy.

Edit: no /s to be clear. Your mom’s cunt is dripping. But it’s good that you don’t know that.

Nope. 10 years experience at dicking around and collecting a paycheck. ChatGPT helps me dick around better.

Sometimes the more nonsensical it looks the less likely someone will bother taking their time to actually code review it.

My goal is keeping a job. Not getting work done. Then I just get more work to do.

Edit: I don’t know why I expected people on this sub to actually be able to tell what a joke was.

I swear to God search is purposely getting worse in order to force LLMs on us.

Not to mention image searches are just spammed with garbage AI art. Gotta add “before:2022” to all my images searches.

Yeah but then they add all these new requirements to be considered “experienced”. Every company really wants you to know Cucumber++ but only to spent all your time converting old legacy Cucumber code. It’s going to be an awful job to take.

And some of them don’t even know that CucumberScript is an entirely different language. No one would ever use CucumberScript in the Backend. It’s clearly a frontend only language. But nope. They keep trying to ask you if you have experience with Cucumber++ or CucumberScript for backend work. These recruiters have no idea what they are even asking you. You clearly should be using Eggplant. It’s the only thing that will work longterm as your backend requirements expand.

Yeah the USS Liberty would like some justice finally. The only thing Israel likes more than bombing it’s friends is bombing brown kids.

Yeah dead soldiers inside of tank that got 1 shot by a micro drone with a grenade the moment they opened their hatch don’t hold ground either.

Also, if you’ve seen them in Gaza they are next to useless in rubble that heavy with dudes popping out of tunnels that disable them without ever being seen.

Historically even, tanks are awful against gorilla fighters. Which is what a lot Ukraine combat has become. Them not using tanks is not surprising.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Even without drones, they are awful I’m so much of modern warfare. If you’ve watched any footage out of Gaza you’ll see a dude pop up out of tunnel and just completely disable a tank without them ever seeing him. Tanks are quickly going the way of the cannon. In much the same way.

I don’t know what to think anymore. I feel like every week for the last 4 years it’s been “China’s economy is going collapse any day now” and “Russia is losing so many people and resources in this war. They might as well give all of Russia to Ukraine”

I don’t take any news written in English with any seriousness for these two countries.

Also, pretty sure modern warfare has learned heavily that tanks are completely obsolete against drones. Or even less modern warfare tells us how useless they are in cities against gorilla fighters.
