What makes that better is that VS Code is running on Electron, meaning it is running Chromium under the hood. Or at least part of it. Been a while since I read up on it so I can’t remember for certain.
I’m doing my part!
Focusing mostly on ChatGPT here as that is where the bulk of my experience is. Sometimes I'll run into a question that I wouldn't even know how best to Google it. I don't know the terminology for it or something like that. For example, there is a specific type of connection used for lighting stands that looks like a plug but there is also a screw that you use to lock it in. I had no idea what to Google to even search for it to buy the adapter I needed.
I asked it again as I forgot what the answer was and I had deleted that ChatGPT conversation from my history, and asked it like this.
I have a light stand that at the top has a connector that looks like a plug. What is that connector called?
And it just told me it's called a "spigot" or "stud" connection. Upon Googling it, that turned out to be correct, so I would know what to search for when it comes to searching for adapters. It also mentioned a few other related types of connections such as hot shoe and cold shoe connections, among others. They aren't correct, but are very much related, and it told me as such.
To put it more succinctly, if you don't know what to search for but have a general idea of the problem or question, it can take you 95% of the way there.
Obviously this isn’t digital piracy, it’s identity theft. Hence the reason Hollywood is perfectly fine with it. 😛
If all the employees are in a union, you can’t get rid of all the unions without getting rid of all the employees.
Same, though I guess maybe? The public posts and comments make reddit more valuable. Private messages don't.
That being said, I'm calling incompetence on this one.
I would say as much love as the app has received, definitely consider adding a tip jar. You’ve made a rather good app that is giving people a lot of value, so people would be more than happy to compensate you for your time. Given you can’t provide links in the app to third party payment services, this would provide the easiest route for people to do so.
It’s so dumb but I love it. I’m going to need to borrow that line.
I feel like I’m missing something here. You mean like if a piece of software pops up with an error pop up, you can use control + C to copy? If so, that is pretty neat!
Nah. No need to as Mastodon and Lemmy exist, and I have no desire to give Meta data.
We had something similar, but not only were we being treated like crap, we were basically told to be "yes men" and that we were all perpetually on call. And there were only 3 of us. No vacations, and I even had my VP calling me 2 days after having surgery done asking me to come back to the office, despite not being able to sit due to the nature of the surgery. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
So I found a new job and put in my two weeks. Then my coworker got fired less than a week later for explaining that terminating all EC2 instances running our app would in fact cause an outage rather than just doing it. Within a week of that, my boss, the last guy on my team, up and left.
I'm curious if they ever got someone knowledgeable on how to run the ship on board after that. Last I heard, the entire office I had worked at was shuttered during COVID.
