Those people are the absolute worst, offer no productive answers and if you have any hope or positivity they’ll try to drag you down with them.

Fwiw I hope you stay, but I understand too

I didn’t know that it was sonos, but I’m not surprised either. They think they invented and own multi room audio

Chromecast Audio was such a cool thing that they just killed for no reason whatsoever. Chromecast was a thing, you could cast music, there was no deprecation needed.

It’s been years but I have one of these home assistant ones (A different model) and it’s just like the Chromecast Audio was.

I am an admin.

Or they give me sloppy requirements docs. Clear that they also didn’t do any research, just AI bullshit driving AI bullshit. Their AI dreams are great, but then us engineers are left holding the bag when their slop docs didn’t account for anything. Exhausting

If you don’t use AI you are shown the door right now at many companies. We’re EMs without the pay bump.

Hey we automated the only fun part of your job away! WHY ARENT YOU HAPPY ABOUT IT!?

Meanwhile my job is now pressing enter mindlessly and sitting in on just as many asinine meetings

True transit riders know you just keep your head down and don’t engage. The fact that the horses were noticed at all means people were not riding transit correctly.

For what it’s worth, I’m happy you are here!

Don’t forget just a fee years ago we had The Penguin as well. Very good, very successful, and of course will never have a second season.

Thank you for completely missing the point.

That’s the way I’ve seen it too, I think it’s a lot of assuming like you said. There’s also no nuance, like that as a human I can hold the opinion that I both like harry potter and also will not give Rowling any money from here on out, in a comment thread those are nuanced concepts

Good! I can’t believe right now that if you get out of a concert you have to be worried you might miss the last train home. 24/7 I do want, but I understand they don’t have the people or rolling stock to do so

Idk most teas are only supposed to steep at boiling max…

Because when things are popular it’s fun for sometimes join the out crowd, and they feel good making fun of others, and then everyone dogpiles

Tha k you for the name, I’ve needed a term for it. I kept thinking virtue signalling, which is kind of what I mean but not entirely

Well, I am happy you’re here at the very least

It wasn’t the best place to put it anyway, so it’s on me for that. I should have made this post immediately instead of posting there. Thanks though. It’s such a obvious shift from when it goes from genuine criticism and details to what I’ve seen so much, which is that “popular things are stupid”, which then ironically here on lemmy becomes the popular things, and I feel like I’m going crazy because no one sees the irony in that. In a very weird way, a lot of people here are hipsters. “No way man, that’s too mainstream man, I’m not like that man”

I’m not sure what your point was, but what I can say is that I really empathize with losing your local bar. Honestly, I’m sorry for your loss there. I too have had a local bar ruined because it was bought by… private equity.

May you find your next bar soon, may their fish be fresh.

I agree, but my response is then that the rest of the world is so negative, shouldn’t we try to make this place less so? (Not pointed at you, but the vague swath of everyone)
