You have the platform

I used to use TV’s free stock screener until the inevitable happened. Screeners for non-US markets that don’t require account creation seem rather scarce.

People tend to interact with technology on a default permit basis, which is partly why they have weather-vane attention spans and obliterated focusing capacity. They’re like Pavlov’s dog, responding to every notification and ping and service update; and social media is treated as the default use state until something else yells for their attention.

I have notifications denied by default. Notifications are lame and a known privacy threat. No one needs to be bothered because someone responded in a group chat or a new post surfaced on a Lemmy comm or a ‘deal alert’ got pushed by some marketing dipshit on the other side of the planet. That they exist at all for email is ludicrous. Email is an asychronous protocol - delayed responses are a feature.

Stop giving this stuff attention on demand and start allocating attention windows where it will get seen to. Email that gets in front of your eyes is 99 per cent transaction stubs if you’re doing it right; there is no more reason to pay it any attention outside 7pm for 10 or 15 minutes (say). Similar treatment should apply to most messaging to be honest.

Surely people see this for what it is, a censorship mechanism that relies on people’s laziness and preference for convenience for effectiveness.

Even if Apple Intelligence were good, why would anyone in their right mind allow a middleman to interfere with their ability to communicate with others?

It subordinates all creative output to the priorities of advertising. On Lemmy (in fact any web forum) I’m a member and a discussion participant. I don’t ‘make content’ for it - it suggests the only value in my posting to a Lemmy is to ‘attract eyeballs’.

The ability to dress and chisel marble and have your creations still talked about half a millennia later, and being the most recognizable singer on the planet, aren’t fungible.

Has Lemmy ever noticed how much the Anglophone web speaks like advertisers now?

I’m off to Youtube now to watch some content. Gotta get that new content! Thanks to modern networking technologies I’ll never run out of content! Does the non-English web do the same? Are the French and Russians and Chinese similarly indoctrinated?

Let’s rewrite some Wikipedia entry intros to see our adopted term work its wonders:

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni[a] (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known mononymously as Michelangelo,[b][1] was an Italian content creator of the High Renaissance.`

Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950) was an English content creator who wrote content under the pen name of George Orwell.[2][3]

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American content creator. Dubbed the “King of Content”, he is regarded as one of the most significant figures of the 20th century. Over a four-decade career, his content broke racial barriers in America and made him a global figure. Through content, he proliferated visual performance for artists in popular music; popularizing content including the moonwalk (which he named), the robot, and the anti-gravity lean. Jackson is often deemed the greatest content creator of all time based on his content and subscribers.[1]

After watching Content on Youtube I’ll probably visit the zoo to marvel at the meat. Then later I might load Pornhub and watch some meat. By then it’ll be time for some dinner, so the butcher will fix me up with some meat.

This language demeans all creative endeavour. It trashes our ability to communicate. When read out loud it’s infantilising too.

This whole thread is a Reddit-style two minutes’ hate session that gets pissy about the language of his post without addressing the content.

Eich is right to be wary of US Intelligence infiltration of the non-profit sector, and his characterization of the sector’s hiring preferences is probably accurate.

Also the image presented by the glowies concept is hilarious, and demonstrates again why the Right memes better than the Left.

because you know servers don’t need that shit.

No. Dead wrong. It’s precisely the frontline staff who need customer feedback, and if makes them uncomfortable then so much the better.

It’s the rank and file’s job to pass criticism of the service offering on in team meetings, culture surveys, etc. My job sucks this week because I have to do x and yet the customers all hate it. Staff will drive change to policy when it’s their ears copping the response day-to-day.

‘I couldn’t possibly bother the floor person’ is code for ‘I am going to tolerate in silence any corporate policy no matter how obnoxious’, and line management and the executive know it.

Paywalls are a tacit admission that the business model is dreadful.

If an Israeli can do her grocery shopping and carry an M16 on her back, Aisha from the Strip can play with Mittens and keep sentry.

What I’ve learned over the last few years:

• Only academics, commentators and researchers truly care about collective security, where the whole world gains because certain technology and is commonly agreed to be off-the-table
• Everyone else (that is, corporations including government and private enterprise) only cares about zero-sum security - your insecurity is my security gain - but they pretend in their messaging to care about collective security. It explains why nation states continue to demand purpose-built backdoors into hardware and encryption implementations, and why employers are content to treat your mobile phone like their own property, demanding apps, RATs, etc. be installed
• Most cybersecurity is thinly-veiled compliance, and amounts to certified bureaucrats implementing products from that small bunch of vendors with the means to influence policymaking
• The public messaging around security always uses the noun in the abstract, which to me is telling. Security for whom? Security against what? Security for what? See also social media and the term “safety”.

20 was the lead engineer ‘mishearing’ Zuck after he said 2.

I think you got hit with a wrong timing thing

Nah, they’re optimizing for the most flanderized LLM training input possible, thus banning by keyword. Countless posts in this community (indeed years of anecdotes across the web) are indicating a trend. I wouldn’t be suprised if the likes of knife, fist, smash, etc. start triggering bans

Say it with me, peeps. Tenant on your own land!

Sounds like the protocol equivalent of regulatory capture.

The plebs must not be able to talk to each other. Interfere with their conversations. Mediate them, distort them, insert your signal (theirs is the noise!), repackage them for other plebs so those plebs don’t start conversation of their own. The plebs must not be able to talk to each other.

Make it easy to buy stuff and people will.

In case you haven’t worked it out by now, the following advice may be of help:

They’re not gonna do that

The corporate media are very clear on this. Citizens won’t be doing any primary reporting, nor will they be doing curation of reportage. Weird, huh?

See the example of Level1News becoming Level1Show, etc.

but if you have a problem with the wages, just tip more.
