“Duolingo will remain a company that cares deeply about its employees”
Except for the contract employees. Fuck those people.
In 2012, we bet on mobile. […] That decision helped us win the 2013 iPhone App of the Year and unlocked the organic word-of-mouth growth that followed. Betting on mobile made all the difference. We’re making a similar call now, and this time the platform shift is AI.
I think this is some sort of fallacy, not sure which tho. Maybe a hasty generalization? “We bet on mobile twelve years ago and won, so if we bet on AI now we’ll also win.”
*It also seems they’re using AI to code… those poor programmers will have to double check every single line it shits out because you know, it’s a fucking AI. Yet another company succumbs to a CEOs emotional FOMO.
are you going to train your dog to chew things for you
Nice work.

3·25 days agoI assumed I could, but (also assumed) it was difficult to do so and would introduce fuckyness. I was wrong!
Which AFAIK means to merely check a box and steam takes care of it.
cries in Ubuntu
dropdown menus now appear correctly.
I feel like I’ve heard this before. Anyway, if it’s true they’ve finally fixed a bug that’s almost two years old
Time to start selling thigh-high programming socks then.
This whole comment chain makes me feel abject despair at the prospect of getting a job outside the service industry.
YOUR FIYA’D! YA HEAR ME? FIYA’D! GET OUTTA HE’E.
I can almost feel my shoulders cramping up gaaaaaaaaahhhh
For me, it has nothing to do with how good or bad the actual application is, it’s the terms of service that go along with it. Basically microsoft hoovers up every morsel of data you put into their system, including your voice and face. I liken it to giving all your personal data to someone (including your voice and face), they put in a pretty looking safe on the side of the street and then they sell the keys to it.
Ignoring the fact that the data could be stolen from one of the many third parties it partners with, microsoft could (will) also give the data to the government which will then be used as evidence to deport or jail you or people you know for speaking out against the American regime or acted against Gods will and had an abortion. Or maybe someone in DC makes up some bullshit law targeting some arbitrary demographic which includes you, they request data from microsoft which is promptly provided; you get arrested and sent to jail or deported.
Data privacy is important, especially when the government is corrupt and insane. It’s prudent to protect ourselves and the people we know.
Haven’t needed to use it myself, but here’s an open source alternative I’ve heard a lot about:
Not sure it’ll help with your work though.
Don’t these services rely exclusively on credit card accounts? :confuse:

To me it was kind of obvious. There were a bunch of accounts that would comment these weird sentences and all of them had variants of JohnSmith1234 as their username. Part of the reason I left tbh.
