BilboBargains , to Technology in EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software

We are locked into the big heavy vehicle paradigm. People have become so accustomed to moving around in a 2t vehicle they have forgotten about the alternatives. Lithium batteries are not a good fit for this type of vehicle and most of the time the use case is single occupant, where the bicycle is king of efficiency.

BilboBargains , to ADHD in Having to go to a meeting really messes with your flow for the whole day, doesn't it?

Avoid morning meetings like the plague. The first four hours of a work day are golden and should be reserved for creativity and nothing else. The agile process was instituted at our workplace and that startup meeting is an absolute menace. I'll tell you how the day is going in the afternoon but right now I have to work.

BilboBargains , to World News in Social care: The crisis Britain’s politicians are too scared to discuss

We spend more in healthcare in our last year of life than we do in our the rest of our lives combined.

Why are we spending a fortune proping up these old wrecks when their quality of life is already shit?

It's the topic nobody wants to talk about. We want to live in the fantasy land where we can keep going forever.

BilboBargains , to Ask Lemmy in Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

Most anglophones are awful people.

BilboBargains , to World News in Chinese military harassed Dutch warship enforcing UN sanctions on North Korea, Netherlands says

Former colonial powers are accused of doing colonial stuff again. Obviously China is the bad guy for attempting to prevent this violation.

BilboBargains , to World News in Marjorie Taylor Greene pushes wild conspiracy theory about Slovakia PM’s shooting: ‘No wonder they shot him’

'Lone wolf' like the time Assange embarrassed the Americans with evidence of their crimes and a rape victim magically appears only to disappear again seven years later. The Americans are the real global terrorist organisation.

BilboBargains , to Technology in Apple, SpaceX, Microsoft return-to-office mandates drove senior talent away

I would imagine most of these remote interviews are just an initial conversation and an employer would insist on a formal interview in person if they have a policy on physical presence. My policy is to advance the requirement that there be hot chicks in the office if I need to be in that space.

BilboBargains , to ADHD in Is this discrimination?

It makes me sad to read these stories. Neurotypical people have an incredibly difficult time understanding that their lived experience is not the same as other people. They try to force a square peg in a round hole and when that fails they accuse the peg of non-compliance and set about knocking the corners off it.

My daily task is to sit with my daughter and tell her she's ok and remind her of all the amazing things she is and does. She didn't choose to be like this, none of us chooses our DNA, parents, environment, preferences. Let's stop pretending that free will exists and accept each others lived experience. That's the path to compassion and love.

BilboBargains , to Programmer Humor in Senior dev be like...

Do you have excess creative energy?

Pour it into discussion that achieves nothing of value.

BilboBargains , to Ask Lemmy in Which are the most fucked up books you've read?

Oh sbit

BilboBargains , to World News in UK surgeon who described Gaza ‘massacre’ denied entry to France

Carrying a huge rucksack which makes an odd ticking noise.

BilboBargains , to Technology in Here’s your chance to own a decommissioned US government supercomputer

I would imagine it's very difficult to make a universal architecture but if I have learnt anything about computers it's that the manufacturers of software and hardware deliberately created opaque and monolithic systems, e.g. phones. They cynically insert barriers to their reuse and redeployment. There's no profit motive for corporations to make infintitely scalable computers. Short sighted greed is a much more plausible explanation.

BilboBargains , to Reddit in Reddit if full of bots: thread reposted exactly the same, comment by comment, 10 months later

I like your comment and I was just trying to make a lame joke that obviously didn't land. We rarely know who we're talking to online. The joke could be on me.

BilboBargains , to Ask Lemmy in Which are the most fucked up books you've read?

Naked Lunch by Christopher Burroughs

The Trial by Franz Kafka. Anything by Kafka is pretty mental.

BilboBargains , to Technology in Apple must open iPadOS to sideloading within 6 months, EU says

The EU is one of the few institutions that are fighting the American corporations on our most basic freedoms. It's the only one with real teeth.
