tell me about it, my client started recently sending me AI generated QA reports, I guess I don't need to mention in 98% reported issues they are false positive just wasting my time

and it's similar with trying to watch Youtube on TV (Smarttube), too much AI slop though try to be picky when choosing suspicious videos


And here I am rejecting projects because I refuse to install on my computer closed sourced Chinese VPN my client is requiring, though I told them I could just use built-in Windows VPN or open source Hiddify.

Btw do they at least pay them extra for this spying or is it supposed to be for free? I mean if they paid at least 30-50% on top of the salary maybe I wouldn't mind doing it on dedicated meta computer.


Do they plan to introduce social media ban as well for people born after 2010?

A ban for people born before 2010 would be reasonable

how is this different from dozens of similar websites?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:File_sharing_services

and those are hardly a complete lists


Building one of these is pretty trivial, especially in the AI era. This one looks like a wrapper for an R2 bucket. The nasty bit is what happens when they start getting abused.

Is there a cheaper _reliable_ option to Kindle?

I'm not aware of it, so unless they locked new Kindle from copying books through USB and working offline I'm not understanding what is this uproar about.

I've got my Kindle for free, so are my books copied there in last 15 years...


they never dominated the 90s, someone is trying hard to rewrite history, when someone was sharing something with me they used either 3.5" floppies or CDR, never in my life I held in hands zip drives, neither did anyone I know

up until mid 90s it was floppies, then since mid 90s it was CDR

it's like saying minidiscs dominated the 90s, which would be as stupid


why it wouldnt work? unless there is some hardcoded switch I doubt my offline Kindle where I copy offline books over USB will suddenly stop working, it's more likely work exactly same as it did in the past 10-15 years using it this way

having TV in children room ≠ watching TV whenever kids want to

just because we had older TV in our children room shared with sibling in the early 90s it doesn't mean we were allowed to watch it unlimited

and it was not certainly unusual, in 90s kids could have already cheap ZX spectrum in their room which required TV, I don't really remember watching TV, but I remember playing Sim City on it

by the end of the 90s as teenager I've had my own TV with VCR so I could watch everything from record and skip ads this way, basically using ad blocker since 90s


is there any photo of jagger there? I can't find anything, Clinton is no problem to find
