Knowing my parents and grandparents you’re giving them too much credit.

I have yet to meet a boomer who will give up an ounce of comfort to get out of their routine. I have family that uses cling wrap to wrap everything in their fridge even though I’ve suggested reusable containers, reminding them how it will sit in a landfill. Who refuse to use compostable bags for lawn waste or even just no bags at all, or even just leaving the leaves and letting them compost. Family who want to drive big trucks just because or yes even eat a gluttonous amount of meat.

All of those things my direct family are guilty of. I won’t say that simply doing any of them makes you guilty - but refusing to make any sort of effort at all sure as hell makes you guilty.

You don’t get to blame oil and gas companies while also driving a lifted pickup which gets 10 mpg. You don’t get to schlep off all responsibility. They are to blame and propaganda is real for sure, but that doesn’t mean we are all also off the hook. If people just ate one less serving of beef a week we could make a noticeable impact - but that’s just too much for some apparently.

I love the concept of Lemmy and fediverse, but God I’m getting exhausted with the constantly sanctimonious people.

Yes… That is the choice. That’s the entire point of the article.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Seconded. Really depends and very dependent on the person and source.

I noticed quite a bit with my OLED TV sitting about 7 feet away from it. My wife doesn’t care, and she would say it doesn’t make a difference until we watched something that was truly done well like Dune.

There’s too many variables here to say “doesn’t make a difference”. We can safely say “diminishing returns” which is universally true, but not that there is no change

I want to know who finally called it out? What person was like I know that place! We all know a Karen (male or female) is who eventually pulled it, but what person originally admitted to knowing it?

Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.

Thousand ways to skin a cat there

It’s from DS9’s Trials and Tribble-ations

Yeah conveniently the photo they chose left uhura out…

Probably just a coincidence

Ha, thank you phone autocorrect. Keeping it there though.

It’s been almost two decades, I’m pretty sure it was a settlement though.

Oof okay so they definitely fucked up architecture wise BUT:

We are currently outage-proofing your Pod experience and we will be working tonight-24/7 until that is done.

Douchebag CEO right there. God knows he was just like FIX IT NOWWWW to them and forced them to work overtime because of this. This is a complete rearchitecture. Sure it can be done, but it’s not a one night change.

New a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company… And won. (Or at least settled)

And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.

I get that. As another example, here where I live they made non compete contracts illegal, but I still sign one every time I start a new company. I assume they aren’t enforceable at all, but knowing lawyers they will argue some other loophole at me. For me it’s just not worth the risk of possibly needing to pay for lawyers

Not surprised, but they’ve been trying to do this for a decade. While AI is creating AI slop all over the internet they’ve been all too distracted to build anything meaningful and real robotics for a while. I’m sure they’re getting really close at doing a few things, but humans are complex things. I’ll believe they’re close to doing this when they release self driving cars out of beta.

Enforceable is a level of risk that we can’t decide for the OP. If there is any chance of enforcement that is a chance of them taking credit for OPs work, or other financial issues. Not to mention lawyers are expensive, even if it’s not enforceable, is OP willing to pay for legal fees to prove it?

Personally, even if it’s not enforceable and they’re completely morally justified the question remains, why open yourself up to any risk at all by using company equipment when you can literally use any other computer to do the work?

I mean, I’ve just worked at multiple international companies while residing in multiple countries and each one has made me sign this. It’s a no brainer. Don’t use company equipment for personal projects.

Unfortunately that’s what they want to do, they obviously know it’s wrong otherwise they wouldn’t have hidden that nugget in another comment.

OP buried the lede. They want to use company equipment to code the oss project.

Bad idea from the start. Anything you make on company equipment belongs to the company. You signed and approved that. Changing that only opens up liability for the company and so even if they do approve it it will be worded against you. If you push anyway to the open source project then that opens the door for your company to attempt to claim ownership too. All around it’s a lose lose situation for you, and the project.

Coding does not require a supercomputer. Go pick up a used laptop somewhere and do the work off of that.
