Was confused by their post too. Not to mention, generics typically say that they’re trying to replicate xyz extended release or xyz extra strength.

Generic meds vs brand meds.

Brands pay a lot for branding, and thus charge more. The formulas are moderated and regulated by the FDA, so unless you enjoy paying for ads, get the generic.

At 11am. What a life.

You mean never get awoken in the middle of the night by a dying fire alarm? That’s got to be at least bottom of A tier.

As a casual yugioh enjoyer that went to Barnes and noble every few Saturdays to play and trade, I never saw GameStop even try to compete. I can’t imagine it had any impact on running game/card shops out of business.

Exactly, thanks to Lemmy, I now face a life dilemma of either scrolling the same posts for an hour or starting my day. Fuck.

If enough people program bots to repost to Lemmy, literally nothing. Right now, reddit’s only success over Lemmy is historical conversations/recommendations/tips.

“We can’t handle different payment methods”

Isn’t the argument the other way around? No one would pay for this shit, so we have to bundle it with our better products.

That’s kinda like saying we should make phone makers stop bundling chargers because it damages the charger industry…

Imagine you’re a builder and you build a store (website). People can come into your store through the door or window. WEI will make sure you come through the door just as the builder intended.

At face value, that sounds fine, but now imagine that builder puts a maze (all of the ads littered on a webpage) on the other side of the door. It’s a pain in the ass to get through and someone (adblock) has told you about the window that lets you skip the maze. You can get what you want and the store gets to sell a thing. Everyone’s happy except the maze builder (Google), so they’re trying to force the entire world to go through the maze.

I tend to use a combination of [email protected]

You can increment the +1 to whatever and it’ll count as a new email

Depends on the company size and location. I’m on a small dev team but we service the entire company (national). As a result, any product we put out has a huge potential. Last year, I put out a product and spent this year marketing it and improving it for the users. In just about a year, it’s become the most adopted product in our company and really changed the workflow for our end users.

Writing code in a comfy office versus someone doing brain numbing manual work on their feet means most devs would hit that day 1.

Marketing. We put a person on the moon because we were scared of the space race, and then we spent the next 50 years figuring out how to make rich people richer by manipulating human behavior and gamifying everything so you buy into the buy more stuff you don’t need and click more stuff you don’t care about. We’ve gotten so good at it, we only need a 10 second short to advertise stuff to you.

This affects everything we do down to its core and will likely be the cause of astronomical ADHD rates in the future.

I traveled for a year with a group of 50 remote workers. By the end of the year, we had about 25 remote workers and 25 people running off their savings accounts. Two big things.

1. Life abroad can be relatively cheap, we were able to get housing, office space, and air travel for under $2k a month, which is cheaper than I was paying for my apt in the US.

2. When you live in a different time zone like in Europe, but work US hours, you get those extra hours to do fun stuff. I typically started work around 4pm and worked until 12am, meaning I could wake up late, go take a 1 hour walking tour of the city, try out some of the restaurants and still be back for my morning meeting.

This also means that evening exhaustion only applies to your work rather than your fun and no one ever says they wished they had worked harder on their death bed…

I feel like using sort by hot on lemmy has exposed me to so many nsfw niches… how many tit subs can there be?

Just to let you know, meta has an open source model, llama, and it’s basically state of the art for open source community, but it falls short of chatgpt4.

The nice thing about the llama branches (vicuna and wizardlm) is that you can run them locally with about 80% of chatgpt3.5 efficiency, so no one is tracking your searches/conversations.

Unfortunately, reddit probably won’t see a huge dive in viewership because a lot of niche questions still are only on their website and they’re probably going to talk about their monthly users instead of daily users.
