đ this is why I only date bisexual women. If I said this to any women Iâm in a relationship with she would probably say something like, âfuck youâ then peg me while annoying asking if I got the pun.
Explaining something to someone? Zoom out. Back up. What if that person were an alien, how much more context would you need to explain?
The curse of knowledge is a cognitive bias that occurs when an individual, who is communicating with others, assumes that others have information that is only available to themselves, assuming they all share a background and understanding. This bias is also called by some authors the curse of expertise.
My friend really needs to learn about this. He works for Intel and does some really involved stuff, I on the other hand am a moronic jackass factory worker.
No friend, I havenât the slightest idea what youâre trying to tell me you did if you keep using technical terms.
Problem is, even if they are capable of explaining it, itâs basically our job to learn things 8 hours a day. Trying to catch someone up on that, who doesnât have that same job, thatâs nearly impossible. Well, and you still want to rant/tell about your day for social interaction purposes.
Like, my mum would also sometimes ask what my (programmer) workday was like and Iâd start telling that we had to deploy onto a really old Linux system. Wait hang on, Linux is an operating system. And an operating system is the software that makes computers go. Do you know what âsoftwareâ is? Hmm, itâs likeâŠ
âŠAnd yeah, basically one computer science lecture later, I still havenât told anything about my workday.
Sometimes, I can try to leave out such words, like âwe had to roll out our software onto a really old computerâ, but then I can practically only say âthat was really annoyingâ. To actually explain how I slayed the beast, I do need to explain the scene.
basically one computer science lecture later, I still havenât told anything about my workday.
ahaha
I can try to leave out such words, like âwe had to roll out our software onto a really old computerâ, but then I can practically only say âthat was really annoyingâ.
Tough. Try my best with analogies, tailored if possible, but still tough.
âWe had to try to translate our app into a language this ancient computer could understand. It was as easy as suddenly switching to Shakespearean English halfway through this conversation. Or like if you drove your car to a mechanic whoâd been cryogenically frozen for the last hundred years. He doth protest much, methinks.
Overall, it was like putting together a thousand-piece puzzle, except the box came with a million pieces and most of them were useless!â
Good thing your mom was surely impressed with you all the same đ
I know for men who are equal opportunity overexplainers it can still be seen as âmansplainingâ when overexplaining to women.
But in general, if your tone of voice is right and itâs still happening, perhaps communicating your intention and a safeguard would work, at least sometimes?
May I try to explain this? If I start too basic, and overexplain so it feels condescending, please stop me so I can dig into it more technically.
Iâm always worried about inadvertently doing this, so Iâve been trying to make a conscious effort to ask people if they need more context rather than assuming they do or donât. Itâs actually a good approach I think. Although it does depend on whether the person youâre talking to is likely to just say âoh yeah, I know what that isâ when they really donât
Iâve had to train literally hundreds of people over the various jobs Iâve had and it causes me to over explain in almost every conversation.
I got two tricks to figure out how much someone knows about a topic and encourage them to ask questions rather than lie just to avoid being a little uncomfortable.
First, I look for them to use vocabulary that I havenât already mentioned or if they seem to understand something just by using a couple words.
Second, I ask them to explain something early in the conversation to make it easier to ask if they donât understand something later. Itâs usually really simple, but it really does work to lower communication barriers.
I like to think it makes us feel more like equals trading expertise, rather than like Iâm some authority talking down to them.
Seems like you have your best shot if you make it seem like a lack of knowledge on a given topic is really safe. âIs this something youâve nerded out on before, or not yet? Oh you have - cool, itâs pretty esoteric. Do you know enough to summarize it in a sentence or a few? If not I like to try to give my own high level before diving in.â
Something open ended in there gives you a chance to validate whether the âI know what that isâ was ego or truth.
Thatâs the ticket, IMO. I start off assuming they know, then pause to ask âare you familiar with x concept?â
If they say yes and they really mean no, thereâs really not a lot I can do. But it seems to make people feel at ease when talking to me - I donât get called out for over explaining or infantalizing people this way.
If thereâs any chance theyâve heard about a concept, Iâll ask if theyâve heard of it and take them at their word (without comment either way).
And if theyâre kinda nodding impatiently, Iâll wrap up the explanation and move on to the deeper level
At first, people will sometimes be defensive or lie about knowing a topic, but after you establish thereâs no judgement either way with you Iâve found people become less hesitant about admitting ignorance and will even want to hear your explanation of something to check their knowledge
I also do the flip side - I pride myself on admitting when I donât know something, so that might play in too
One of the things I look for in employees is the ability to distill complex topics into the important elements and explain it to someone unfamiliar. Some people are just naturally good at it, and itâs a really important skill for moving up a leadership chain.
Even if we have the Patriarchy app4oved mind scanning kits out instructions are to not use them soâŠIâd hate to accidentally not Mansplain something.
Since thereâs no way to fix the incorrect assumptions (a t-shirt proclaiming âI explain granularly to men too!!â?), best bet is probably to get ahead of the assumption with a disclaimer & offer to be receptive to feedback.
Someone could still be upset I guess but canât please everyone!
Me talking to my dad (who last held the position of professional programmer 30 years ago) about the programming problem Iâm working on and vastly overestimating how much he knows about modern software development parlance
Nah, if consent is given that means you get a horse not a payout
Although apparently horse semen is the single most valuable fluid on the market, so if you get a stallion you could probably get a nice payday out of it!
Or email OFA. Burger King, Popeyes (I know they are the same company), and just a bit ago, BuyMeACoffee. They let you enter a password; fuck if I know what their requirements are. No tooltip, no failure text. 60 char with special chars? Nope. (a few moments later) 20 chars with no special chars? Nope. Fuck it, letâs try 2FA. Get seed, generate code, go to setup verification page (on phone), first box, paste. ONLY THE FIRST NUMBER PASTES AND MY KEYBOARD CLOSES. SCREAMS
For those who donât know, the BofA app clears the username and password fields every time you switch to a different app, completely thwarting the use of password managers because Bank of America is apparently Hell-bent on forcing everyone to have easily-typed (and therefore easily-brute-forced) passwords.
Android has password managers with keyboard app integration so you can paste both fields from the keyboard itself
I use Keepass2Android and itâs own keyboard app for this. I switch active keyboard app when the login field shows up to paste and then switch back to my normal keyboard after
My bank has its own authenticator app, which doesnât work on my phone. Piece of crap. They now enabled fingerprint login without additional 2FA somehow, and I can also authorise payments with biometrics. Only to change my limits, update address etc. I have to use the app (on an old Pixel 3a as a standby device just for this purpose).
I would change banks. Stuff like this is a reminder why letting government run such services is a bad idea. (Iâm sure your bank isnât state owned but still)
For one that requires more training and support. However I think the biggest reason is that it is predictable and requires access to the device. You also canât steal a phone number as easily as stealing poorly secured keys
Poorly secured keys usually still require device access, unless they are secured so poorly that the individual would be compromised in one of many other ways regardless.
Stealing a phone number requires, at most, paying off an employee at a telco company. At best it just requires a call and some social engineering. And donât forget, people who leave their phone laying around without a passcode exist.
Now, neither of these are really options for a dragnet approach, theyâd need to be targeted. But the fact that one can be done fully remote should be a red flag.
Youâre misunderstanding. Totp apps require authentication to use them, be it a password or bio-authentication. SMS does not, it just requires the phone number.
You can get the phone number through any number of ways, but it can be done remotely meaning no one ever interacts with you or your phone. Through various methods, they have your phone number transferred to a different phone, and then have the SMS sent directly to them.
Totp apps (typically) have a backup system in place. 1password as an example, uses their servers to host the data. But you can also back that up. The chances of someone gaining unauthorized access to your Totp account comes down to your security, and which service is chosen. 1password again as an example, is fully encrypted, they canât see your passwords, if you forget your security token, the only solution is to wipe the entire password store and start again.
The difference in security is mountainous. Itâs the difference between a single family home, and a bank vault.
General ban by an admin being an asshat. Havenât bothered asking nicely to get reinstated.
Lemmy desperately needs some default notification, because what newbie is checking a siteâs modlog with any regularity? I didnât even know it existed. I was bickering with some troll who said âyouâre cruising for a report, mister!â despite being far further over-the-line than me, and I said, thatâs adorable, knock yourself out. And then things so thoroughly stopped working that I assumed my LW account had been straight-up deleted.
Meanwhile, that troll suffered no consequences whatsoever. Despite starting shit, getting personal, and being wrong. My accordingly low opinion of moderation across Lemmy has since been vindicated more often than not. This was the largest instance that didnât demand âcivilityâ as a constant choke-collar, and the worst problems Iâve had have still been mods flying off the handle in cases where Iâve been perfectly polite.
Apparently I canât say please and thank you without people taking it as vicious sarcasm, so I donât fuckinâ try and I donât fuckinâ worry about it. Itâs been freeing.
Yea Iâve mainly been focusing on smaller games recently. Last AAA game I bought was Cyberpunk 77, which I enjoyed but was a whole thing. Thereâs so many good indy games coming and going its definitely worth it to look into some of them
While âAAAâ has lost all meaning: even in that space we have some real bangers already
Yakuza/Like a Dragon 8 is already in the running as one of the all time great JRPGs (and probably a top 50 GOAT in terms of games period). FF7R2 is going to have to REALLY screw up for fans to not feel strongly about it. And Dragonâs Dogma 2 is, somehow, showing all signs of actually being faithful to the incredibly weird original. We also might be seeing Elden Ring DLC sooner than later. Tekken 8 seems to be incredibly well received⊠accessibility aside. That gets us to the end of March (ER has a mysterious youtube entry but it has for weeks so who knows)? Even if nothing else happens this year, that already is a stacked as hell line-up.
Two months in and, gaming wise, 2024 is shaping up really well. Like most years, people see what they want to see. If you want to say things are a flop, there are flops. If you want to say things are awesome, there are some truly amazing games.
Iâm so excited for 7 rebirth. And one Iâve finished that Iâll be getting persona 3 reload to replay one of my favourite games. With those two alone and me catching up on some of last yearâs games, this year is going to be a good one for me.
In fact words all those words are a bunch of gibberish and neither the world nor reality works like that. I can just question the vague and often circular premises of that argument and weâre back to square zero.
Not against the sentiment, but youâre never going to get anywhere with that pseudoacademic bullshit.
Edit: hahaha just keep proving my point. Youâre the same as them- dogmatic fanatics with no arguments that hold up for shit.
Iâm entirely for gender abolitionism, but you really need to find some better rhetoric. âCope and seethe, your arguments are shitâ wonât work on most people
Sooo what if a dude just decides to act like, dress like, and call themselves like a girl? Why would they not be allowed to do that? What about the laws of the universe takes away their agency to do that?
For some the optionality of it is less important than the notion that if itâs performative, you can be bad at it and therefore make yourself an acceptable target for abuse, and besides that the idea that some roles can be restricted to only those with a certain set of physical characteristics is deeply ingrained in many, be that in terms gender, career, or what have you.
I myself had this problem with my monitor when I first bought it. It has weird touch buttons instead of normal buttons, I plugged it into the computer and kept hitting the power button and it wouldnât come on. I was getting annoyed that it was broken⊠Then I realized I only plugged it into the computer and forgot the freakinâ power cable when I was about to pack it back up and take it back to the store. đ€Šââïž
My Monitor used to turn off randomly for no reason. Until I noticed it turned off every time my mini fridge kicked in, move mini fridge plug to a different wall port and issue resolved.
Make sure you arenât overloading your wall sockets people!
My cheap electric razor throws a ton of noise onto whatever electrical circuit itâs plugged into
How to sort out ZFS filesystem errors
That the bathroom socket I plug my razor into and the plug across the house that the main desktop is plugged into happen to be on the same electrical circuit
I was running hackintosh along side others OSes. Keep in mind it was working fine until it wasnât. So this hackintosh one day started having a problem. After some time of inactivity, the monitor would sleep. Once it did, it wouldnât come back up. Only a reboot would help. Eventually I thought it was incompatible with the DVI output since I saw similar hackintosh issues online. I bought a new monitor that would support display port. When I was disconnecting everything I notice that the DVI port wasnât fully plugged in. đ€Šââïž
This reminds me. At work, Iâve had to help during rapid consultation procedures for surgeons while they are performing a surgery. It involves you cutting tissue microscopically thin with a very sharp blade within this specialized machine.
Well one day I am cutting and cutting and I just canât get anything to work. Itâs making a mess and fucking everything up.
I look down and realize I didnât even have the blade in the machine lmaooo. I was trying to cut with blunt metal. What a goober move.
Never ask them if it's plugged in. Ask them to unplug it and plug it back in. Make something up about contact patches on the cables getting corrosion. That way they can see that it's not plugged in without feeling ashamed for not checking it.
You should reach out to power supply companies and ask them to put some bogus number on the plastic by the prongs so end users never think something is up when you do this trick
Iâve used the, unplug it, touch the ends of the plug with your fingers to release the static on the line ans plug it back in line more times than I care to count.
That is a good one too, Iâve had the same result using that one but also they will occasionally state that their different sockets from the same circuit.
I have a deep fear that the power supply wonât have a discharge capacitor and theyâll get a shock from it. Completely irrational but its deep seated enough that couldnât use this one
If you ask them to unplug it and plug it back in, theyâll lie and say they already did that, though.
And if they were ashamed at all, theyâd have remembered the last time the exact same thing happened.
This sounds like I hate end users which I really donât. Their expertise lies elsewhere and I respect that. Still, sometimes it makes for funny/exhausting situations.
A buddy of mine used to like telling the users that sometimes fat electrons get stuck in the prongs, so you have to occasionally unplug it and shake it out.
I had this with a person who said their screen stayed blank no matter what they did. I came down, saw the power light on the monitor was off, saw the plug was not plugged in, and fixed it. She was very embarrassed.
Then they tell you the previous person was incompetent or something to try and make it seem like they were a bad employee, not that itâs a bad work environment.
âOh? And who was in charge of their interview?â because unless they have a large hr department to handle hiring interviews, it was probably the person who hired you.
This is when you take notes in your notebook you should have brought with you.
Iâve noticed interviewers get visibly uncomfortable when I write in my notebook. Itâs like theyâre either trying to figure out if they just lied about something I will be able to reference later, or they just get that natural âsomeone is writing about me and I canât read what it isâ feeling, I assume the former.
Simon Pegg wasnât lying in Hot Fuzz. The notebook is a powerful weapon if used right.
I thought that once too and ignored my gut feeling. It was the most toxic work environment that I've ever experienced, and it essentially killed my software development career. I was eventually laid off and never recovered. I'm now a mail carrier.
I actually work for Canada Post. We've heard rumblings of the pre-sequenced mail coming our way, and some people have lost large chunks of money from it. Contract negotiations are coming up though, so we'll see how things go. Though it is nice having a union that is willing to fight the company for the workers...I've never had that before this job.
Had a similar experience. Toxic company that was awarded a contract hired in a bunch of people, gave us starting dates then a week before we were supposed to start they delayed our start data by 4 months. It only got worse and worse from there. I eventually quit when I was doing 4 other jobs, like with different pay scales and supervisors and everything, by myself. Killed any chances I had with IT since every other company around here doesnât want to risk yet another burnout from that place. I had the same place interview me twice 6 months apart and both times as soon as they saw that company on my resume they frowned and kind of cut it short.
It was because I believed the lie "if you start in Support, you'll have a chance to move over to Development". I spent 5 years waiting for them to keep their promise. I did everything they asked me to do, I even wrote code in order to demonstrate that I was able to do it. None of it mattered. And after 5 years of doing everything they wanted, chasing that goal post that kept on moving back on me, they laid me off unceremoniously. I then tried to apply to development jobs but I kept on getting asked the question why I haven't held a development title in more than 5 years. No answer I gave was apparently good enough. I spent the next five years bouncing from a tech support job that I got laid off from, and then a technical advisor job (which was really just tech support for the development team) that I got laid off from. After that, I decided I either get a development job, or I'm leaving the industry. Tech Support was killing me, and I refused to go back. And now I deliver mail for a living. It's a lot less stress than I had to deal with before. And I now get a true chance of a six-figure salary.
Actually, Iâve had more than one interviewer comment on it saying it âshows (Iâm) preparedâ since many people donât bring anything to write on and sometimes have to ask for a paper.
As for whether that could be a bonus in getting hired? Meh. 110% depends on the field.
If the question is âwill asking unnecessary questions and writing down answers help get this jobâ then Iâd ask if the interviewer isnât prepared for a couple innocuous questions, then it shows a severe lack of preparedness on their part and Iâd question whether I want to work for a place where someone gets shook by their underlings daring to question them.
I fully admit I am already biased against nearly any company that I would be interviewing at, so Iâm already more willing to get confrontational in interviews if I feel I am not getting the respect I deserve (you know, the basic human decency of treating every random person you meet as an equal until they prove otherwise worthy), and drop them to keep looking than the average person. Iâll eat ramen and peanut butter sandwiches for a few more weeks if I need to. Iâve walked out of interviews before.
Iâve walked out after the opening âgreetingâ. âalright letâs make this quick, Iâve got a dozen other interviews todayâ okay well if thatâs how you treat someone here for a simple interview I canât imagine how you treat your employees on a bad day, get fucked. I literally said âexcuse me? You donât talk that way in a professional setting.â and left.
This is absolutely true. My former employer (a big box retail company) reduced my pay while I was on holiday. I had been there for years and accrued a bunch of pay rises - but the company got bought out and the new owners thought they could strip me of these because they felt they were temporary and non-contractual.
I got some legal advice that basically said they canât do that sort of thing and had a meeting scheduled with HR. I went in with my notepad, I stayed calm - pleasent even - no angry shouting or slamming tables with fists, I just politely asked them questions and wrote down everything they said, then read their answers back to them to confirm thats what they said. I had about 6 questions prepared and by the 4th they were visibly uncomfortable, it was an amazing feeling making them squirm like that. After I got done asking my questions, I dropped the legal advice I had been given on them and it was obvious the answers they gave supported my case very heavily. They panicked and reversed all there decesion plus I got back-pay.
But if the first thing I had done is charge in making accusations and quoting the law I know nothing constructive would have happened.
See the goal is to bury them in their own words.
Edit: predictably the company went bust the next year. So long Office Outlet!
Always get them to bury themselves before dropping your intentions.
My wife is currently dealing with her employer and their complete lack of handicap spots, despite over 200 regular car spaces scattered all around a warehouse lot. She doesnât quite get how to âplay the gameâ like this but sheâs learning.
One party recording state so Iâd like her to go in to talk about it while recording, but her anxiety is completely stonewalling her from bringing it up.
Hit record on the phone, slip it in a pocket that has good clearance for the whole conversation, and get them to say the things theyâve said when they think nobody else can hear them.
Apparently the front office woman screamed at her to move her car (she parked there because the offices are isolated from traffic and have access to her work area)and âitâs not our goddamn problem we donât have handicap spots, itâs yours so deal with itâ
Iâm about to just skip around waiting for her to do things and file a complaint with the EEOC or at least the ADA government site complaint form. Iâm sure that would take months, if not years before anything ever happened, but I canât hold her hand and be there when she confronts the owners about their 6-8 missing handicap spots.
It was done. Teletext delivered news, sports results, horoscopes, closed captions, all directly to your TV in real-time. It was quite clever as a pre-internet method to deliver text content to every home.
All the people in the comments here being unaware of this makes me feel old.

The phrase âRohr zum GlĂŒhen bringenâ literally means âbring a tube to glowâ and originated back when electronics used vacuum tubes. Iâm not German so I have no idea how common it is today but I assume this bit is for an old audience.

Whoâs saying anything about being relevant. There is no need to smoke cigars or make oil paintings either. Yet people do things that they find interesting regardless of what you think. Interesting, huh?
When they were widely used, people called cassette tapes âtapesâ (common) or âcassettesâ (less common). I donât recall anyone calling a VHS videotape or VCR âa VHSâ.
Similarly, I have seen people recently say âa vinylâ, which wasnât ever the way it was said. (it would be music âon vinylâ or âa recordâ).
The only time I have ever in my thirty years of life heard someone refer to a VHS as a âvideotapeâ or âtapeâ is in the context of âtape that show for meâ. Itâs always been âVideoâ or if theyâre specifying the format âgrab the videotapeâ or âVHSâ a lot like how people today say âDVDâ.
I think weâd both agree someone who calls a âDVDâ a âDVD Discâ insane and someone who just says âDiscâ could mean CD-ROM, Blueray, so forth. Itâs too general and I think the same thing applies to âtapeâ.
Yeah, âvideoâ was common, but âVHSâ wasnât. Maybe kids who developed language as the format was expiring in the early-mid 90s didnât have lots of examples and just thought the letters printed on the tape were a noun.
There were many pages, Iâm not sure if you count that as channels? Then the Teletext for closed captions were tied to the channel you were overlaying on.
They should though. They get screwed harder than nearly any other subset of the tech industry. Tech workers, overall, and need unions too. Theyâre getting such a miniscule cut of the revenues that itâs shocking.
Besides, this is a B2B conflict. Workers donât care if itâs more expensive to publish a game.
The biggest impact is on indies that may have very few devs. If youâre not making AAA or even AA games, it could mean closing down.
I havenât been particularly following the strikes but just scrolling on here I had seen you mention your support for it somewhere.
Itâs weird reading this person praising what I assume to be a free t-shirt on par with the ones they give away for running a 5k as a fashion statement.

People who choose not to watch ads are far more likely to not spend money based on ads. I know that when I see the same crappy ads over and over, yeah, I remember the name of the product, and I remind myself every time never to buy it. I'm more likely to buy from that seller if I don't see their ads.
Thatâs because the average person is influenced by seeing the same shit over and over again, and it improves sales. Not every single person, just most of them.
Depends on the age demographic and lifestyle. For example, I pretty much buy the same things for the last 20 years. Iâm not going to change my shopping patterns because of an ad.
Also, YouTube ads are about the most random things. I donât think Iâve ever seen an ad on YouTube for anything that I would actually buy. Iâm not even nearly immune to ads, either. Show me a product that solves a problem for me and Iâll strongly consider it. Consciously and Iâm sure subconsciously.
Google knows what I do for a living, where I live, and what I spend money on. Google also knows that I use YouTube primarily to watch videos in other languages. Itâs not a secret to them. Yet they insist on trying to sell me products or services that have zero relevance to anything that I do. In English.
It makes me wonder if theyâre even trying to profit through ads. I know the answer â no, not really â the advertiser is the customer, not me. It must be too complicated for them to realise that they could charge more for ads the more sales they led to.
I operate this way too. There must be literally dozens of us.
In all seriousness, I do find it somewhat surprising that some of these companies think saturating everything with ads is a good idea. As a simple matter of brand recognition, I get that the power of suggestion is a helluva drug. But all that stuff does eventually glom together in my head as general advertising nonsense â as a result I see companies that advertise less / not at all and rely on a quality product and word of mouth as a better buy.
They donât just think itâs a good idea, marketers have convinced themselves theyâre doing you a favor by pummeling you with advertisements day and night.
How else could you learn about their valuable product if not for constant, unending advertisement?
Itâs more likely that theyâre incompetent and havenât checked/manually set up their video / display ads, and have let Google decide how often to show their ads. Google then decides to show their ads as often as possible because it gets clicks (even if theyâre accidental) and nets them more money each time.
The best trick Google ever pulled was telling advertiserâs to trust them with their money and âleave it up to the algorithmâ.
Fuck no, you set it up so Google doesnât abuse their platform and spam your ads everywhere, ignoring everything Google tell you to do.
The shit Iâve seen in peopleâs accounts because Google told them to do itâŠ
You can and should limit the amount of times your adverts are shown per day to someone. Thereâs a not-so-fine line between brand awareness and pissing off potential customers.
I can list a ton of products I by principle will never use. Athelic greens, casper mattresses, simplisafe, express/nordVPN, Honey ⊠Some people may see a pattern there.
Ironically I might actually buy your product even if you spam annoying ads as long as you do it on a platform I block ads on.
Also pepes. I swear, pepes were JUST ABOUT to go away, and then Twitch of all places added pepes as default emotes and gave brain rot to a whole generation. Basically an invasive species being brought everywhere.
