Yeah, and also even if there’s smart people doing it, it doesn’t matter. Supposed 10% of people don’t use Amazon, as long as 90% are fine, it won’t affect them. Most people won’t look beyond “it costs me less”, the whole reason thing like temu is widespread is exactly that. People don’t care about other people, ethics of things, or even the long term effects of their actions. They just see low price vs high price on everyday setting.

If a chain restaurant gave half price food for a year in a loss to take out all local businesses people would gladly buy it. And then when everything is gone and that chain raises price because there’s no competition they’ll just blame other people, economy, whatever they can find.

In many cases it also comes from the side that people can’t afford to spend more money for the right reasons. Many people are living paycheck to paycheck, and those that aren’t, are still not well off and want to save as much money as they can for retirement/emergencies. You can’t count on anyone except yourself for your future, so they’ll take whatever costs them less now.

Thank you.

I did consider Julia in the beginning, but I’m using rust so I can make a python library available for people. And also because I can easily transfer other programs I have, and some other libraries in C into rust easily. My project is mostly about connecting the existing tools the grant agency has plus tools scientific communities use.

What do you mean by official language communities? I don’t know what is rust official community. I am in rust discord but I have never gotten any response on any questions I ask about non trivial things there. I need people knowledgeable about macro, stable abi, and other features.

I’m not from CS related field. Me and my advisor don’t know professors in CS fields, and my university doesn’t have CS grad programs when I looked around. And I need an external professor anyway. My friends that are in CS grad school all do AI/ML related research.

Can I go completely 180 and suggest programming as a hobby? If you want a hobby where you’re in a computer. Then try learning to program little things. If you work on a computer then it’ll make things easier for you in the future, it’ll keep your brain sharp and teaches you problem solving.

I think it’s mostly because European are more aware of privacy, open source and such. I see that trend here and in many open source projects, and I browse on US times.

Pretend to work, or were incompetent.

Similar things happened to me too. Could finish day’s work in an hour. It was a small company, didn’t have extra work they could give me, didn’t like I was idle most of the time since we had co-working space. And didn’t increase my salary even through they said they’d increase based on performance on provisional period.

They finally increased salary after 9months (said they’d do it in 3-6), and it was nominally higher like everyone else. Resigned the next day. When I went back few months back to get something every face was new one except the upper management and their family.

So basically they count on people to leave in a year or two, so they can hire other batch of fresh graduates in low salary again.

Are you a physical model or computer model. I didn’t know when they started using AI on hydraulic models this would happen 😲

Btw. Can I know how can I get a job like yours. I’m looking for remote works in around a year with a PhD on hydrology related degree. I have good programming skills, and good hydrology/hydraulic knowledge.

Idk why this is so low. Kdeconnect is all about sharing information between devices, url/file even notifications. It also has remote control and ping devices.

Just give cash with a note saying “money for the ski trip” or sth.

Considering humans did sell humans.

What’s called pastries though.

There is one called OpenScan that’s available for Android

He edited it so now his account is no longer marked as bot. Maybe you’ll see others. Try searching for lemmy bots.

I’m on voyager. It shows up as an lil robot icon.

Yeah, I knew it wasn’t a bot reply, but since I thought you marked it as such it was a fun comment.

So the AI boom has made the bots depressed too huh …

But if everyone is using it to mean something new then we need to record that.

That seems like a wonderful function. Considering android support external mouse with cursors. I hope someone can make a FOSS version and put it in F-droid.

Please give me a couple millions.

Without open sourcing it, it would probably been hard to market it and keep improving it though. Like if Linux was not open source project it probably would have had the same fate so many other OS before it had.
