The amount of people addicted to caffeine who don’t even know it is crazy high.

The costs of withdrawing for some are higher than others, so for these people quitting isn’t just a day or two of headaches, and possibly their life doesn’t afford them the luxury of going through the pain and low productivity

Many factors play into it rather than just low self control, in case you’re wondering why you got down voted.

A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don’t break

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing

Now that is someone who has thought about this question a lot

Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

I mean in some ways what percentage of emissions come from NZ? The whole country could disappear and it would barely make a difference.

Surely they have bigger things to focus on?

For those looking to get into the IT space, this doesn’t seem very promising.

Has anyone else on the ground felt the impacts of these layoffs?

Maybe it is an Australian thing?

In 2009 the school I went to got aircon

I have lived in very few houses that have had aircon, if they did it was evaporative and near useless. The house I am currently in is getting aircon installed next week.

It might be hot in Australia, but mainly we just built houses with insolation and fly screens.

It would be interesting to see this not including infant mortality.

From my understanding that is where most of the “life gain” in graphs like this have come from.

A graph of how much older people are living would be better represented “ignoring” for lack of a better word the babies dying

I feel like aircon wasn’t as common back then, especially strong enough to cool all of that

Vegans hate this one weird trick

Couldn’t that describe 95% of what LLMs?

It is a really good auto complete at the end of the day, just some times the auto complete gets it wrong

Socialise cost and privatise profits.

Been the play for awhile now.

Omg I missed that. Nice spot

So the idea being I am in the burbs and I put out bird feed to help different species survive where they can’t normally find food?

This graph really just makes me think we are fucked, like really fucked, easily in the span of a human life time, if not a few years.

How will this not have crazy knock on effects?

Yet I still go to work and plan for the future and just live my life in some sort of daze. Still tell myself I’ll find a wife and have kids one day.

I wonder if I just allow myself to live the ignorance is bliss life, the embodiment of the “this is fine” meme, like so many on this world. Easier just to go with the human flow as we slowly all jump off the cliff like a herd of buffalo.

I feel like I am slowly moving all my data being with Google to Proton. Makes me a bit uncomfortable to be all under one umbrella again.

At least so far it seems they are a decent company

We are just part of the long arm of America, we have our face buried in their ass, with our arms around the front keeping them happy.

Yes sir daddy America where do you want our military budget?

A culture of glorifying tans, mixed with needing a reason to show off your southern cross tattoo, beautiful weather and free public BBQs at parks and beaches.

Remember to slip, slop, slap

Three screens billed as “business expense” actually used as a sim racing rig.

But you will end up filling any screen space you have. When coding I very quickly fill out the space, to see files and folders I am intereacting with, communication apps, websites, IDE, ticket screen. Some days I wish I had 4.
