52·15 days agoThe Voyager missions are honestly one of humanity‘s greatest achievements. That they are still operating so long past their original design and that they were designed with such pure scientific curiosity in the first place.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•United Airlines says a window seat doesn't need to have a window.English
31·22 days agoCall it “priority seating”, let them board the plane early, and charge extra for it. Based on the kindergarten-level aggression in the boarding lines I think people would still be fighting over them even without a window.

Programming@programming.dev•AI will reduce programming jobs a lot, it's madness to deny itEnglish
15·1 month agoIn any technology career, you are going to have to adapt to changes in technology. We went through the same transition from writing machine code to writing object oriented code. And from writing monoliths to writing micro services. You may not write code letter by letter the same way you used to. But your ability to adapt is your real value, not the code you can type from memory.
AI code generators still need very clear directions. They need guidelines and restrictions. They need architectural designs and decision making. They need code review. We still need the experience of qualified people, we just don’t need you to be the one typing out every letter. Delegate that part to the AI and up level your contribution.

Technology@lemmy.world•Alphabet Workers Union Statement on YouTube Offering Voluntary Exit PackagesEnglish
27·1 month ago“This week, our employer has been prominent in the headlines as Alphabet stock reached a record high. We, the workers who generate those profits, deserve to feel secure in our employment. While we celebrate the fact that our organizing is working, with our demand to offer voluntary buyouts before mandatory layoffs becoming a new company standard, we know that the fight is far from over. “
Apparently, Google has agreed to offer a VEP rather than issue more layoffs?

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft Teams can record office presence from DecemberEnglish
16·1 month agoThis seems like surveillance disguised as a mostly useless feature. If you are in the office and logging into a video call, you’re probably using the hardware in a conference room and not your own laptop. That hardware will already display the room you are calling from to everyone on the call.
The only reason for this feature is to tattle on people who aren’t where they say they are.



They started the crowdfunding campaign quite a while ago. Apparently it just got unveiled.
