    isn’t the difference here supposed to be the level of danger/lethality/intent?

    like if you burn someone’s house down with them inside, vs quietly breaking in to steal shit. if you burn down a house that probably has people in it, that’s murder even if it wasn’t 100% intentional, you should have known that was a likely outcome

    the concept is okay, even good, I would say. if somebody does as a direct consequence of your actions, well, you murdered them — but that requires some nuance and work to determine how “direct”.

    but the implementation, oh boy, that’s classic police state america







    • that doesn’t turn the phone on silent

    • yes, they replaced the partial crop with AI select. same method of using it, worse feature

    • I’m on a relatively new phone, so it must be because Samsung sucks

    • the OCR button doesn’t undo, it just flashes and then reselects the same thing with the text highlighted

    maybe mine is buggy. either way, it’s still because Samsung sucks and the feature doesn’t work.

    Samsung recently released UI 8 for Android, which had the astounding forward-thinking and innovative move of removing the ability to silence your phone by hitting the volume down button

    idk what phone I’m gonna buy next, but that’s the last straw with Samsung for me. I’m already sick of them changing features on the phone to make them worse, like how in order to do a partial screenshot (a feature I used to use a lot) you now need to click the button and wait a few seconds for the “AI” to think about what portion of the screen to select. you cannot skip this waiting period. you cannot disable this (that I have found). you cannot ‘undo’ when you draw a box around a section that includes text and it tries to helpfully extract the text for you instead of just fucking taking a screenshot of the highlighted portion of the screen

    fuck Samsung

    a guy at work said graphene has been going pretty good

    10 and 2 (and now 9 and 3, though to a lesser extent) is just a visual indicator of what drivers you need to be extra wary of when they’re around you

    not all 9&3s are, but pretty much all 10&2s

    and the 9&3s you don’t have to worry about are very easy to identify, because they’re not driving 53 in a 60 designed for 80km/h, unable to stay straight in the lane, and not staring dead ahead with dead eyes


  • I did it for six months straight around 7-8 years ago, and then on and off as required since.

    I was fine with it when I was enjoying work and my work had variety in it - I could do my regular day with a bit of OT in the office, then go build stuff with my hands for a few hours in the shop.

    At another job after that, 60s were more difficult because it was work from home, but I still did them as required because I could set my own schedule for the OT and half the time I was drinking and gaming simultaneously (some of the tasks required me to do something and wait on the computer to do compute). But still, the variety of work was key - I had to be able to change tasks and spend at least 10 hours on something that was interesting and different.

    A 60 hour work week is stupid, imo. It takes up far too much of your personal time. Like anything, you can do it for a period of time, but it isn’t sustainable as it starts to eat into other aspects of your life.

    It’s taken me nearly a year to transition away from a 50 hour standard week and constantly feeling like I should be working more. I had to learn how to just sit at home and do nothing, like drinking a coffee watching dawn come for ten minutes uninterrupted.

    idk just sharing my experience. summary is that it’s possible short term if you enjoy it, but you need specific circumstances to be met. I was lucky my job gave me autonomy and flexibility, it wouldn’t have worked otherwise. and obviously I got paid overtime, I’m not working for free. and at both jobs I felt like I was appropriately compensated. I quit the first job when they stopped compensating me appropriately. I toned down the extra work at the second in the same situation.

    *I want to add that in recent years I’ve done the 50-hour standard week because I thought the trade-off was worth it - I was being compensated fairly, getting regular wage increases, enjoyed the work environment, and it allowed me to afford a house comfortably enough (never mind that housing shouldn’t cost this much). I knew I was making a couple years of sacrifice to set myself up for the following decade at this company. Even if the work environment is worse now, I still prefer this to commuting to another job with less flexibility and autonomy.
