@jon It opens a market for legal corporate espionage, doesn't it?

Something I've noticed a lot lately, is that especially Boomer women, but honestly, women in general, don't seem to ask for what they want or need in a direct way. I notice this a lot with my Mom and her friends. Instead of just asking for what they need directly they tell a story, to ask in a roundabout way. For instance, my Mom needed help this morning, and Instead of just saying, "Hey, I dropped my remote, can you pick it up for me?" She tells a one minute story about what happened, no ask, and eventually I get the point, and then suggest that I come pick it up. Or if one of her friends wants to do something like have a birthday party for a friend, they don't say "We should have a party!" They say, It's Sarah's Birthday coming up, you know she likes surprises, what does everyone think we should do?"

I often wonder if this is why older people think younger women are rude and demanding, because younger people often just ask for what they want and need in a more direct way. But also it's probably just straight up sexism, because men are supposed to make decisions, and women are supposed to make suggestions.

What do you all think? Is this just me? Have you experienced something similar?

@RickiTarr Reminds me of "Shrinking women" poem:

I see that in many women, to be honest.

"Web Development Is Getting Too Complex, And It May Be Our Fault"

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2024/02/web-development-getting-too-complex/

"Are , , and a touch of enough to build your website or web application? If so, then stick with those. What I am afraid of is adding complexity for complexity’s sake and inadvertently raising the barrier to entry for those coming into web development."

@davidbisset I'm adding this article to the list I want to read.

But, just from this premise, yes, I can't agree more. It has become too complex, too unnecessarily. I still work my own small sites with code HTML and CSS, with a tiny bit of JavaScript for those couple of things CSS can't do by itself, period. Each update needs me to modify only 4 or 5 files.

I wonder why all those databases, static site generators, renderings… If the web is so charming is because it is simple.

It is a worry that results like this are appearing in Google. These will really devalue Google's Search results and erode the trust in what has been a very strong brand.

This one is obvious but there may be many results, where people read the Featured Snippet and don't investigate the link, that are a lot more subtle but wrong. This is a very worrying trend.


The website the featured snippet comes from has a banner at the top stating it is for sale. The page is an interaction between a human asking "did you know there is no country in Africa that starts with K?" and a Chat GPT response that Google has shown as the featured snippet and that is extremely incorrect.

@simoncox Oh my! Yet another proof that artificial "intelligence" is not to be trusted.

Is there any difference between and ?
Also, was there not an alternative to already? Boat? (or something like that)?

@StickBugged Oh, OK, but they are separate things, aren't they? I mean, Kbin is not a Lemmy "instance" or vice versa.

@StickBugged That is what I wanted to know. Thank you very much!

I'm pretty sure Mastodon is the first social network I've been on that didn't immediately ask me to betray all of the people in my address book.

@briankrebs Diaspora* does not do that either, yet you get an invite link.
