Them: this is not about replacing employees with AI

they then proceed to explain how they will give new work to AI first instead of hiring people

Thankfully this shit service has never seen a cent from me (and I know 2 languages), and I'll definitely keep it this way...

I always take these posts with a huge grain of salt. I have installed Windows 11 in two PCs so far and never seen these things happen. I don't see no candy crush or nonsense installed save for some microsoft apps. I then proceed to delete what I don't want and turn off tips and suggestions. After doing that it never has bothered me again...

I've seen this exact image in a thread before and the circlejerk assured everyone this didn't happen

You say it like it's a bad thing but yes, I want my stuff to just work and my apps to just run after I download them... I don't want to spend hours every other day or week during my limited free time troubleshooting why something doesn't work. I already spend all day doing that in my work's linux servers and my home server.

This is an issue with FOSS. If something doesn't work then you are on your own. Yes, I can fix it, or work around it, or whatever but it will take hours that I could be spending in windows 11 just playing a game or actually learn something more relevant instead of troubleshooting random shit. On other apps as well, I've paid for a lot of software to be able to ask the owners to help and for them to not tell me to fuck off.

people have claimed over the years this happens, but I've never had this happen with windows 10

Coming from windows 10, last year I tested installing linux mint which is one of the most accessible distros. I found that around a third of the stuff I had running perfectly under Win10 didn't work. I didn't find alternatives that were good enough either...

So I said fuck it and did a clean windows 11 install, It's been a month now and I can really say that it's way easier to upgrade to windows 11 and turn off all the shit, than to deal with all the stuff that won't run under linux.

Hopefully this changes in a few more years...

I'm actually surprised that a few lemmy instances allow minors to sign up. I don't get it. It's always a liability and platforms tend to become dystopian in the name of "protecting the children" and to comply with additional laws and requirements...

Honestly I'm now thinking of migrating from lemm.ee now that I learned of it allowing minors, this instance could turn into shit because of it. Example: "we'll defederate from any mature instance because the kids can't see boob"

People saw this coming from miles away since the rumors came out of reddit going for an IPO.

Question is why people keep getting outraged?

I call BS on OP, just another ragebait made-up story.

Forced restarts haven't been a thing for years, unless the OP somehow badly setup their machine.

Exactly, I feel the mindset of 'line must go up or you die' is really ingrained in people's minds. Even if everyone leaves for something else lemmy will still be here, slowly getting better with updates and time.

Doesn't matter how many people use it. As long as even 1 person wants to use lemmy it will be here...

I can change china for the US in that sentence and it will still make sense

They can sue DeepSeek as much as we can sue openAI for scraping human generated content... this time though we got the model for ourselves, and not to squeeze profit

I don't have chance to dig all the details right now but here's the stuff

Madison/Suop is a small influencer, who at one point a few years back got hired by LMG. It didn't last long and she stopped appearing in videos, and then wasn't ever mentioned again by LMG.

People eventually suspected she wrote this anonymous Glassdoor review on 2022 and had quit.

Now when the first GN video on LMG came out, people pressured her to tell more about why she quit, and she came out with full details. . TLDR there was lots of bullying, harassment, sexist environment, unreasonable work pressure, etc.

Then LMG promised to investigate this whole thing and provide results. Fast forward a few months they posted these findings.

The keywords here is "unsubstantiated, no evidence, unfounded", etc. It's a very vague response and LMG can't say a clear yes or no because there was no evidence. Many of the abuse was verbal and not recorded anywhere, and because it had happened a few years back it could have been lost or removed...

So we as the audience are left with almost as much ambiguity as when this all started... If you compare both sides you can see why I still side with Madison's story:

• Reasons to believe Madison
  • She has gained nothing from this other than more harassment by rabid fans
  • We have individual vs a business with millions of dollars and an army of parasocial basement dwellers
  • She has kept a very consistent story through many years
  • Her claims have not been disproven
  • There's a few tweets from other employees, and a leaked recording of harassment at LMG back when Madison quit, the only pieces of hard evidence are in her favor
• Reasons to believe LMG
  • You think linus is your friend
  • You think the "not substantiated" equals "no". I could go burn a house, but if I make it happen like an accident arson won't be substantiated...

Any shit thrown at LMG is good news to me, they deserve it after how dirty they treated Madison back then. They never properly addressed that either in the eyes of the audience...

I hated him less when he was just a reptilian, and not a tech bro reptilian

Status: Hired

There's a million ways to do anything when self hosting, so I'll just talk about what I have and if you interested just reply.

I only host a few services for now: Invidious, CloudTube, Redlib, FreshRSS. All of them as docker containers, this helps in quickly updating them and isolating their configurations. I have a few TB of disk space on the server itself that I can access through SMB3 shares, so I don't have a proper NAS yet. Probably will do so at some point when I need it.

As for hardware, I'm using an HP mini-pc with

• Ryzen 5 PRO 3400GE
• 16GB DDR4
• 256GB boot drive (NVME), 2TB storage drive (HDD)

This mini-pc can literally be opened by removing 1 screw, so hardware changes/cleaning can't get easier. I installed Debian on it

As for remote access, I use twingate instead of self-hosted wireguard. Mostly because I'm using my ISPs router and they like to reset it whenever they want. I'm also not confortable opening ports on the router. Twingate covers my use case completely so I never went back to this. I can map a custom domain to the server's IP and this meant I just switch on twingate when I'm out and can access it seamlessly.

I still don't think he's the same guy who shot the CEO, it's clearly for me a different person in the photos...

However, at this point this changes nothing of what's going to happen, anyone caught for this would be facing the same charges. Let's hope the jury feels as we all do and lets him walk

The only thing I wanna see is the ElonJet guy back in a large platform, so that everyone gets easy access to the muskrat's location. That gets him specially angry as we've seen many times
