> one is "take me one level up the hierarchy." They're often but not always the same.
Who expects this behavior? It doesn't make sense. You just want to go back where you were.
Most file browsers I've used wanting to implement going up a level in hierarchy, have an arrow pointing up.
You can't avoid big corps training on your data if it's available, because "fair use".
But I hope this same 'fair use' will allow distilling of their private models into open weight models, so users are never locked in into any particular vendor. Giving back power to the user.
I work at FAANG, and leadership is successfully pushing the urge for speed by stablishing the new productivity expectations, and everyone is rushing as much as they can, as the productivity gain doesn't really match the expectations, and people overwork to make up for this difference. This works very well with internal competition and a quota system for performance ratings, with some extra fear due to the bad job market.
I feel this new world sucks. We have new technology that boosts the productivity of the individual engineer, and we could be doing MUCH better work, instead of just rushed slop to meet quotas.
I feel I'm just building my replacement, to bring the next level of profits to the c-suite. I just wish I wasn't burning out while doing so.
There should be digital riots, where people team up to fight such abusive practices.
Thinking of AdNauseam extension, but next level. Surely there should be a very simple and effective way to disrupt such practices when people organize. Is there any precedent for such thing?
This is super infuriating. I wish there was a way to offshore the effort and work needed to toggle each option off to the culprit website.
Perhaps when website A presents you with such hostile prompts, take their contact email, and subscribe it with automation to each of the vendors. I'm just too tired of this shit.
The real test would have been to use some software that the author uses frequently, and see if there's any decrease in speed when removing all the icons. I'm pretty sure, even when not pleasant, they work as heavy visual cues to find the item quicker.
Icons are also very useful if you're trying to use software in a language that you're learning, becoming the common language bridge.
Yesterday twitter feed was showing me all sorts of people executing this idea fully end to end: creating endless stream of content, selling whatever product or idea, presented as fully human content. Of course with fake AI people, engaging in content to make it look real, and using hooks or sexualized content to make it grab more attention.
Im unsure what the final outcome out of this is, but it makes me sad that we're about to see an explosion of fake content on the internet indistinguishable from real people so soon, if not already, for pure profit, where everything is allowed.
Intentions matter. The 'provided as-is' helps cover the author for unintended behaviors that are a result of some non desired bug.
You can't just update your extensively used code to add some ransomware or virus and be let off the hook because you warned users in a text file. The legal system will check what did you know and what your intentions were.
In this case, not that the author did a bad attack, but it's still a jerk move when the intention was uniquely to disrupt others and break things.
