There were tons of options with multiple HTML elements with a sequence of CSS properties to reliably provide vertical centering (and also use vertical space at the same time) back in the days.

Now, between flex and grid (mainly flex for me, I find them more convenient) all the HTML scaffolding we used to make this work can be removed to get the same result. That’s what I mean with “no trick”.

Well, we’ve been vertically centring content with no-trick pure CSS for years now, so, good I guess?

Some people fail to see that, it’s a matter of how you value the service. I still think the current price is a bit high for a subscription, and I have some issues with how these subscriptions end up being split between youtube and content creators.

But, should youtube go all out and make ad blockers unusable? Sure, I’ll probably pay. The content on youtube, assuming a fair share to creators, is way more valuable than ten-ish buck a month. I’ll still fight to the end to make ad blocking work though.

They all do now. MMS, iMessage, any other messaging app, also require an active data connection to actually reach your phone.

The only thing that did not require an active data connection in place is real SMS, with all its limitations.

Yeah, after burning down something popular, he get off without any repercussions (aside maybe a big bag of cash) and is likely to go find the next successful thing to burn it down, to get another big bag of cash.

Can we purge these people out once they failed everywhere?

In a world were people will gladly vote to put in position of power the same guy that trampled on them, it is not that surprising that people will root for the company that is drying them out to discard them faster.

Sadly.

Not with a good enough model, no. Not without some ridiculous expense, which is not what this is about.

if trained right, way more knowledgeable that the human counterparts

Support is not only a question of knowledge. Sure, for some support services, they’re basically useless. But that’s not necessarily the human fault; lack of training and lack of means of action is also a part of it. And that’s not going away by replacing the “human” part of the equation.

At best, the first few iterations will be faster at leading you off, and further down the line once you get something that’s outside the expected range of issues, it’ll either go with nonsense or just makes you circle around until you’re moved through someone actually able to do something.

Both “properly training people” and “properly training an AI model” costs money, and this is all about cutting costs, not improving user experience. You can bet we’ll see LLM better trained to politely turn people away way before they get able to handle random unexpected stuff.

It didn’t work that well when people were working anyway.

We’ve been permeated by the idea that “you have to be financially productive to be a decent human” for so long, even people against excessive/useless work still sometimes miss the point of this crazy race toward making more benefit regardless of anything else.

Sometimes, reaching the “it works” point is enough, but higher ups never stops there. It always have to be “better/more”.

I think you’re talking about actual support, that knows their tools and can do things.

This article sound more about the generic outsourced call center that will never, ever get something useful done in any case.

I really hope it’s a surprise to no one. Having full control over the access to any media is the core principle behind any online-only, DRM-based service.

On one hand, this can be seen as a signal to allow shooting shitty people, which is bad for a plethora of reasons. On the other hand, shitty people.

People disliking having tourists around does not mean they’re happy to burn their place down to prevent tourism.

Most of reddit’s content is user generated to some extent. If there’s bad content, it’s because of people. Most of lemmy’s content is user generated. Same cause same consequence.

If we want to delve into what could be different… moderation. Made by people (aside from very far-reaching illegal stuff, on both platforms).

Conclusion: the problem is people, not reddit nor lemmy.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

You need to be in a very, VERY cold area for that to matter. While these places exists, I’m sure it’s not the case for a lot of the states I’ve seen marked in that article. Heat pump can heat the inside of your house even when it’s freezing outside.

“Are we ready”, in the sense that for now it’s 95% garbage and 5% completely generic but passable looking stuff? Eh.

But, as this will increase in quality, the answer would be… who cares. It would suffer from the same major issues of large models : sourcing data, and how we decide the rights of the output. As for it being porn… maybe there’s no point in focusing on that specific issue.

I stay on twitter to read content from people that are hard to reach. This get my account flagged as spam and locked every other day. At this point, using the service is considered spam in itself, so it’s no wonder he want to end it.

You’re aware that Electron app have access to much more stuff than what you can do in a browser? Like, important, functional stuff?

Getting really tired of “this is just a website” approach. It’s starting to feel like /r/programmerhumor here.

Open the dev tools in electron app that where so badly coded that they are not blocked as they should in the first place. In short, bad app developer makes bad apps, and people complain about the framework instead of complaining about the lazy dev.

You are correct, there are too much crackheads and not enough infrastructure investments.
