  • As a woman, I can tell you it's because it's unfair. You should be wearing a bikini too to make it fair 👍

  • I'm calling AI slop on this one. Why are there beans stacked on top of the can on her head? And why do the background cans look so out of scale?

  • I mean, I agree with the fact that it's fun to know the basics to software engineering (just knowing the words in a coding language is kinda useless by itself) but no one's building their own alternatives by themselves. The field is too vast. Find your specialty and contribute to open source projects.

  • Are you sure? I've been just dumping my files into a folder and Jellyfin manages fine. If it's music, you only see the files in your "songs" tab though, not in any of the other ones. Slightly annoying since there's no Multi-Select in the Songs tab if you want to add them to playlists, but you can definitely access them just fine

  • Your momma is such a bad programmer, she gets compiler errors when writing Javascript

  • My Github Actions configurations will bankrupt entire continents

  • Random side tangent, my favourite coworker got fired last year. The real reason was that she was unhappy (manager has been promising a change to a team that isn't as dogshit as mine, but not delivering on it) so her output of code was pretty low. It took a year for the company to actually go through with the firing, and since "not delivering enough output" is not a valid reason for firing someone here, they had to give "the company does not have enough money to pay for you" as a reason. They gave her 3 months of paid leave (that's the agreed duration for notices of termination, anything less would have been illegal) and wanted her to sign something that says she's okay with being fired. She was smart enough to not do that.

    Because she could prove that the company did have enough money to pay her (they re-filled her position almost instantly) she could have sued to be re-hired. Well, she went back to the company and was like "okay, how much severance will I get to not sue you?" and she got another 15k on top of her paid leave. It was a pretty good deal. Oh, and she also got an excellent recommendation letter, because you can also sue a company if they say anything negative about you in their recommendation letters (there are lawyers specialized in finding hidden dog whistles in those letters and suing accordingly).

    German worker's rights really are pretty solid imo. My company isn't even bound by a union, the protections are much stricter for companies that are. My husband works for a company that voluntarily follows IG Metall guidelines and he got a random 4k/year raise recently just because IG Metall adjusted their pay recommendations. And government jobs are even crazier than that, there are some where you literally cannot be fired whatever you do.

  • Basically any kind of employee surveillance is illegal (here in Germany) unless the employee is suspected of serious misconduct or a crime. An employer is only allowed to check whether an employee fulfills the tasks given to them, not how they spend their time at work.I make software that other companies use and we aren't allowed to even build any user -> activity metrics, especially not if that users boss could access them. So i.e. for Datasets, we're only allowed to show "This Dataset was last edited by User x" and not "User x has edited the following Datasets: [...]".Here's a German article about some specifics. Basically these things are very explicitly illegal: Keyloggers, surveilling browser data, surveilling email or phone call contents (unless explicit consent is given) and recording any part or the employees screen or from their webcam. Surveilling an employee with AI would definitely fall into one of these categories. oh, and the fine is around 300k€ or 1-2 years in prison.

    I'm pretty sure other European countries have similar laws 😄

  • Luckily something like that is highly illegal here haha

  • I don't like having the mouse actually wiggle for teams to stay active. Makes it really annoying to jump back in when you get an impromptu call and have to fiddle with things to get the wiggler back off.There's a program called caffeine that instead simulates a button like F15 (so one that's unlikely to show up on a real keyboard or be mapped to do anything) being pressed once a minute, so you can just set the program to run and it will never interfere with you actually using the computer.

  • okay but can someone go back a few steps and explain what the metaverse even is?

  • New microwaves fucking suck. I recently moved and bought a new one and this thing insists on beeping every time it does anything. Every button press, when turning on, when opening the door, closing the door... even 10mins after closing the door because that is when the display turns off. And it takes like 30 button presses and three menus to do something like adjust the wattage. AND you can't turn down the volume on any of the beeps. It's driving me absolutely crazy. My husband promised to open it up and solder out the beeping part, but he's got a busy schedule so idk when he'll get to it 🥲

  • Excellent application letter for a paramedic job tbh.

  • Non-European spotted 🫵 We just bike to each other's houses to fuck, if our countries touch we're close enough.

  • Sadly it's the norm :/ Snakes are hardy, so they survive a setup like that, and breeders don't really need more than survival and reproduction.Go on basically any youtube video of a snake breeder showing off their collection and you'll see a rack setup much like in the OOP. Here's a random one for example: https://youtu.be/tttKKfwUFyo?is=0iauvfd4xdLhQAmY

  • Man, tub keeping seriously needs to die :/ Lil guy doesn't even have a hide

  • ooh neat, I'll be putting any new radish developments in the coming weeks there then ^^

  • selling the faces of every one of its users to a company to train its AI face generator on

    Okay, but wouldn't it be kind of funny if every AI face generator suddenly started producing faces that look like Redditors?

  • Well I'm vegan, so I gotta find alternative ways to use all that pulled pork 🤷
