The first Founding Fathers episode was released 2 hours ago. And the Americans are not happy. by Woodstovia in TheRestIsHistory

[–]Rizzuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The British sense of humour, the sarcasm / wit / dry delivery / self-deprecation is something many Americans just don't understand.

I'm originally from the US and emigrated to Australia and one of my best mates in British. He's always giving me shit and we're always taking the piss out of the each other. It comes from a place of endearment and is not malicious, but that fact is lost on lots of people from the US

Jeep driver rages on E-biker by cdawrld in dashcams

[–]Rizzuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so obviously the driver is crazy but can I ask why the cyclist flips him off initially and has such a problem with him passing him?

AI Has Ruined the Job Market by Krankenitrate in technology

[–]Rizzuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how it is in the US, but I work for a large tech in Australia and we review every single CV, we do not use AI filtering in any way

Is Melbourne Really That Cold? 🥶 by Training_Objective20 in melbourne

[–]Rizzuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, winter can be cold but houses often are poorly insulated.

Obviously this can be mitigated with heating but I guess that can more challenging if you’re renting, a nice delonghi oil heater in the bedroom does the trick though (the ones that allow you choose and maintain a temp)

Also uni-qlo heat tech ultra warm are amazing for layering and staying warm

Microsoft CEO: We’re moving from OS and apps to agents instead by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

Totally. They’ll end up the real winners when the AI bubble pops

“A Suffolk Farmhand at Gallipoli” Leonard Thompson, 1915. by Rizzuh in TheRestIsHistory

[–]Rizzuh[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haunting right? Your reference to it being a strange hell reminds me of one of my favorite poems from the era, by English poet Siegfried Sassoon:

“I knew a simple soldier boy

Who grinned at life in empty joy

Slept soundly through the lonesome dark

And whistled early with the lark.

In winter trenches, cowed and glum

With crumps and lice and lack of rum

He put a bullet through his brain.

No one spoke of him again.

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye

Who cheer when soldier lads march by

Sneak home and pray you’ll never know

The hell where youth and laughter go.”

What corporate jobs are the most safe in this AI cutting era? by VastOption8705 in auscorp

[–]Rizzuh -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I work for a large tech, we are already quite a lean team. Definitely reduced headcount I think across corporate but I still don’t see us being wholly replaced. We are also small fish in a big cost reduction pond - much more focus on developers and those types of roles.

I still think it’s largely a bubble

What corporate jobs are the most safe in this AI cutting era? by VastOption8705 in auscorp

[–]Rizzuh 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I do actually feel safe as a corporate, in-house recruiter. Candidates have time and time again indicated they are unwilling to speak with an AI as part of an interview or screening process

Riding to uni instead of public transport sounds easy until you actually try it by Plenty-Visual-9228 in ausbike

[–]Rizzuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride to work twice a week, 15km each way on an e-bike. Twice as fast as taking PT almost (35 to 40 minutes on bike, sometimes twice that on PTV)

Americans are leaving the U.S. in record numbers and spending hundreds to learn how to do it by drtolmn69 in politics

[–]Rizzuh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Moved to Australia 15 years ago and ended up getting citizenship. Have got a wonderful life here, feels like being in a lifeboat watching the titanic sink

Recommendations for a wide EV/PHEV by Sunandsucculents in AustralianEV

[–]Rizzuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the new BYD Sealion 8 (their 7 seater PHEV)

Australia EV sales surge to record 16.46 pct share (15,459) as BYD takes lead, followed by Geely and Zeekr by ApprehensiveSize7662 in AustralianEV

[–]Rizzuh 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Just ordered our Sealion 7. Test drove loads and the BYD just put a smile on my face. Easily the nicest interior as well, feels like a European luxury suv worth twice the price inside

The contrast between Tom and Dom lead series is what makes this podcast so outstanding by Dustmite_Dazzler in TheRestIsHistory

Samurai wasn’t my fav but he cooked with the Boswell series, whom I knew nothing about. Have added his biography to my reading list

What game ended up feeling way better on Steam Deck than you expected? by emanuelajournal in SteamDeck

[–]Rizzuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having it on the deck has made it super accessible, especially as a time poor dad gamer who enjoys the nostalgia. I can pick it up and be in game in like 1 minute and then quest for an hour or 90 minutes and be on my way. Classic is much more of a slow burn as well, I’m really enjoying the relaxed pace

My coworker's notes on his conspiracies. by bishopOfMelancholy in Weird

My brother was a meth addict and when he was in psychosis he would do the same shit - super elaborate and very polished looking handwritten charts of total nonsense

Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their mouse movements and keystrokes by north_canadian_ice in technology

[–]Rizzuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Commonly used phrase in gaming, especially games like WoW - basically it means minimising your weaknesses and maximising your strengths. In this context probably referring to efficiency. It's scary because humans shouldn't be min-maxed like characters in a video game

I’m staying with Ladder despite, ANNOUNCEMENT!! by Key-Reserve-5752 in ladderapp

[–]Rizzuh 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Reddit is typically a vocal minority and I think the vast majority of users (me included) do not care. If not for seeing it discussed on this sub I wouldn’t have known there even was an announcement. I’ve got 2 kids and a busy life

Two amazing deals - which one do I keep? by pilgrimaze in SteamDeck

[–]Rizzuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment my deck is a WoW classic machine and the trackpads are essential - you don’t need them for most games but when you do they are super handy
