Je suis désolé que les médias servent à détourner la main d'oeuvre.
  • D'un côté tu as un point, les employés ne sont surement pas payés équitablement dans plusieurs cas.

    Par contre, je vois le point de l'article plutôt du côté de l'opinion publique d'une job de construction. C'est vrai que souvent, on ne considère pas assez la construction comme un emploi respectable. Les enfants surtout de notre génération se font dire que soit tu vas a l'université et trouve une "vraie" job ou bien tu prends la route facile et tu vas en construction.

    Ce que je trouve dommage cest que l'article ne mentionne pas un point que je trouve important. Souvent les métiers comme maçon, contracteur, charpentier, etc. sont remplis de gens malhonnêtes qui n'ont pas de respect pour leur propre travail. Je parle d'expérience, c'est très difficile de trouver quelqu'un qui ne coupe pas les coins ronds et te surcharge pour un travail mal fait.

    Cela dit, peut-être que le second est le résultat et le premier la cause. Mais c'est comme un cercle vicieux. Dans tous les cas, je pense que ce genre de travail est nécessaire et qu'un bon maçon, briqueleur, ou autre qui fait un travail de qualité est très apprécié de tout le monde.

  • Politically engaged Redditors tend to be more toxic, even in non-political subreddits
  • Makes more sense if you reverse it: Toxic Redditors tend to be politically engaged. It's not the politics that makes them toxic it's because they are toxic that they engage with politics so much. Most people who are informed with politics don't necessarily engage. Of course there are people who do who aren't toxic but the loudest voices usually are abrasive people.

  • Feature request: double-tap comment to upvote

    Seriously great app for Lemmy from day one. I was an avid user of boost for Reddit and now on Lemmy was using other platforms and customizing them to resemble boost but you blew them out of the water at launch.

    One feature I would really appreciate to improve my experience further would be the ability to double-tap a comment to upvote it, a bit like we can do in SMS apps or social media. My reasoning is I currently use tap to expand/collapse and I can only upvote by long tapping then tapping the upvote button. This makes it a significant effort to upvote comments and in consequence I don't upvote often.

    Thanks for your consideration

    Is there any way to reverse degrowth of the niche communities on Lemmy?
  • I think it's the same as any other platform. Right now the content in small communities is limited, but over time once there is a sizable amount of content that newcomers can get referred from or go through, Lemmy as a whole will get more traction. Since the Reddit exodus happened I definitely feel like Lemmy has grown a lot and I'm here for the long run.

  • What is everyone's cross platform frontend framework of choice
  • I really recommend nativewind to solve pretty much every gripe I have with styling react native, if you still want to give it a chance. Expo for instant cross platform updates by just publishing updated JavaScript (no more publishing updatdes in app store and play store!) Also, yup and Formik for form validation and react query for API calls. With these minimal libraries react native becomes a beast.

  • What is your ideal Oreo dippage time? (Or your biscuit or cookie of choice.)
  • I remember watching a Mythbusters or similar show that concluded that the time out of the milk after dipping is more important than the time in the milk. I've been doing that ever since, one dip than 5 seconds out then dip again and 5 seconds out again and it's perfect every time.

  • ADHD Bingo
  • My doctor has ADHD! Pros: my ADHD diagnosis was super straightforward and he was overall helpful. Cons: forgets my appointments and talks too fast and overexplains or not at all. Still, I consider myself lucky

  • Rishi Sunak considers banning cigarettes for next generation
  • It's very easy to compare this to The Prohibition but the reality is alcohol is much more popular than tobacco. For someone who doesn't drink, understanding the appeal of drinking in a social setting is way easier. With this law I don't think there is a need for a black market of tobacco like there was with alcohol as it will still be available to purchase, just more controlled. The effect will be a reduction in exposure in younger generations that simply won't find the need to start smoking. This works and in my province of Quebec since laws have been getting stricter the only people that still smoke are poor or raised by heavy smoker parents.

  • Aphantasia... apparently 3% of the world has it. Any aphantasists in here, who've had success improving their condition?
  • It's fine I am not here for imaginary points but for good conversation like this 😁. That sounds very hard, for my part most of my thinking revolves around imagining objects, even when they're metaphores like trees when coding and such. You have all my sympathy as well, hopefully you can find ways to work around it and figure out solutions.

  • Aphantasia... apparently 3% of the world has it. Any aphantasists in here, who've had success improving their condition?
  • I don't have aphantasia but I have ADD. It causes me so many problems in my day to day life and in my relationships. It's one of those things that people think that either I am too lazy to "just do it" or "just make an effort to remember" or that I am mentally challenged If I try to explain it. Or worse, people think they have it too because they have all the symptoms some of the time. For me it's not a woopsie daisy kind of forgetfulness, it's every. Single. Time. All. The. Time. So I don't have aphantasia but I kind of understand the struggle, of not being neurotypical. I am very curious about what it means to have aphantasia, would you care to explain what it's like?

  • Why is there so much hentai on Lemmy?
  • There is no concept of personal "algorithmic" feed here unless he subscribed to a bunch of hentai communities. I agree that when browsing on Everything sorted by New, there is a LOT of hentai. That includes AI generated hentai that seems popular here, probably because it is a legal gray zone.

  • Google debuts a new way to watermark AI-generated images
  • TBF, I don't think the purpose of this watermark is to prevent bad people for passing AI as real. It would be a welcome side-effect but that's not why google wants this. Ultimately this is supposed to prevent AI training data from being contaminated with other AI generated content. You could imagine if the data set for training contains a million images generated with previous models having mangled fingers and crooked eyes, it would be hard to train a good AI out of that. Garbage in, garbage out.

  • Frontend vs backend
  • As far as I understand, they were offering free hosting and bad actors took advantage. They didn't want to start charging so they closed down. Like giving out candies on Halloween and one asshole takes the whole bowl. No candies for you kid, sorry.
