I know unions and workers rights are basically none existent across the pond. And I can only hope that changes for you guys. But I sure hope if I would get fired for doing as I’m told by management, that I can go to the union and/or judge to get compensation for being unjustly fired.

This shouldn’t really be a discussion imho, but alas here we are.

In a social democracy with workers rights, where if you got unjustifiably fired you can sue them for it. you?

They don’t have to, just as much as you don’t have to compensate for their shortcomings. Of course that’s easier said then done if you work somewhere with little to no workers protection and fear losing your job. But that still doesn’t make it right.

Most people in jobs like this aren’t paid hourly, they are salaried and expected to get the job done. Usually the problem isnt necessarily the runtime of an AI, but the inefficiency of a workflow that brought AI into its center.

Sure, but if the tools provided/mandated by the employer are inadequate to do the job more efficiently. That should be the employers problem, not the employee’s.

You can’t as management both claim the need for AI out of efficiency, and blame it at the same time for you not getting your job done in time because of it. But then again, how often do you come across competent leadership these days. The lemon can always be squeezed a bit more I guess.

I’m probably ignorant, as i left the conventional workforce before AI took off… But how does that exactly make you work longer? If the AI isn’t finished by the time the shift is over, then it’s tomorrows problem, no?

Couldn’t this be abused? What’s stopping me from using a VPN node in France and downloading terabytes from google, meta, etc.? But I guess they will start capping traffic to French addresses.

How come people with MBA studies are too dumb to see that easily cheated metrics, are easily cheated? What do they actually teach in those studies? Have 5 mission statements that are the exact opposite of how we actually act, and fire people do line go brrr? That’s it?

I’ve worked in the Netherlands and Belgium, both gave me compensation for travelling to work. In the Netherlands they paid my gas. In Belgium it was a fixed stipulation depending on distance and mode of travel. Honestly I can’t see how anything else is not just a rip off.

So they don’t… During the job is just part of the job, that’s not compensation. Now it even makes less sense why Americans like to commute so long

So… Do US employees not get compensation for travel expenses? Such freedom…

I don’t at all see how this is relevant though? They are using another ‘standard’ already, Forgejo. And they are just hosting it themselves, so that they are in full control. If anything I’m actually astonished they didn’t already do something like this.

So photographers get hit double… First being replaced by AI and then forced to increase their prices because of… Again AI. What a great world we live in

I’m curious how. Maybe a different region? I don’t have Pihole anymore but it didn’t use to do anything for me for YouTube. Luckily we have uBlock.

I thought so too, but maybe I missed something new with Pihole/YT Ads.

pihole hasn’t worked for years to block youtube ads, no?

And yet most politicians here still use it. Any that’s still using it I consider a child rapist and fascist/nazi enabler. Sadly that leaves very few left to vote for.

Because you didn’t know it was called 480p or knew of better options doesn’t mean you can’t see that it wasn’t great or improvable. You knew colour existed before getting a colour, TV so you knew it could be better…

People did have problems, there just wasn’t an (affordable) alternative. If you would go back to the 70/80’s and offered anyone the choice between 480p and 1080p, all else being equal. Would anyone pick 480? I know I wouldn’t

It’s not because we learned to live with it or didn’t know better, that it was the best option.

This guy is going to be next TempleOS incident, is he not?

Imagine being a paying Premium member and still get caught by this… That said, the YouTube comments are worth shit, so not much is lost there. The descriptions can be quite annoying when missing.

I really should start looking into yt-dlp or something. Anybody know if that’s still working fine these days?
