How can I politely phrase, "My company is full of old men in leadership who don't understand data so using AI effectively is next to impossible"

    Removing the unecessary adjective "old" would be an obvious start.

    But what is your audience and what do you hope to accomplish? Unless you really have an audience who is likely to accept that the people in leadership are lacking an important competence and the power to go around them to get something done, then I would assume that leadership is your audience. In which case the part that blames them is entirely unhelpful and you should stick to explaining the problem and needed changes.

    People keep talking about needing to "organize your library" but what do you mean by that? Is metadata tagging sufficient? Or does Kodi care about filenames and directory structure?

    Do you think it sucks for readers or writers or both? What sucks most about it? Just curious, not really a user, myself.

    One factor is that paganism is tolerant of adding additional gods, practices, or beliefs to your mix. From a pagan standpoint, adding in Christianity wasn't a big deal, but Christianity was not similarly tolerant, they weren't cool with you keeping your pagan gods. Plus their belief system had the threat of eternal damnation and the promise of heaven to motivate you.

  • So is this Thunder itself or some app it is deferring to whose config I should look at? Basically videos start out dim for a few seconds until the video controls fade out. This means the first few seconds of every video are basically unwatchable, and with short videos this is all or most of the video. For example https://lemmy.world/post/17884719

    Of the many Lemmy clients I've tried, Thunder is the one I like the best, but the one place I have nits is the creating a comment experience. After typing the comment you have close you keyboard, to have any hope of the create button being visible (if your comment is really short) and then scroll all the way back up to the top. Isn't the bottom the obviously better place for this button? Even worse, if in trying to scroll the screen, you accidentally hit the little horizontal bar at the top, you just lose your comment. Finally, it seems to always lose my place in the thread and put me back at the top after entering a comment.
