These sites clearly have different goals, and thus different layouts.
I think that is the point. His personal website doesn’t need all of that stuff the corporate websites have. And he showed that “make me a portfolio website” AI website looks just like the soulless corporate sites. So just make your own.

I left proton years ago for fastmail, before I got my own domain, and I had to keep proton’s app installed that whole time because I couldn’t keep track of all the places I needed to update my email. I started using my own domain after proton and have been able to move between other email providers without any hassle.

Comment on Proton to ‘re-interview’ staff about AI to see who gets to keep their job in ~tech
ogre LinkWhat an absurd time we live in. When was the last time a company proudly re-interviewed significant portions of its employees to see if they’ve got the right opinions about a piece of technology?...What an absurd time we live in. When was the last time a company proudly re-interviewed significant portions of its employees to see if they’ve got the right opinions about a piece of technology? Imagine Hollywood studios re-interviewing all of their crews to see if they’ve got the “capabilities” to make 3D movies.
It’s concerning because this is threatening the financial security of their employees’ families and they can’t even articulate what they mean when they say “AI is fundamentally changing the way we work”. Fundamental at which level? Did AI invent new atoms? Do computers still run on electricity? Do you still sit at a desk typing on a keyboard? Or is all of that the same except the text box you’re typing into is now dependent on another subscription to an overvalued tech company that’s losing $80B annually with no profitability in sight? Oh, that and maybe your coworkers are slightly more annoying.

Comment on #YesAllMen #NotAllMen #MaybeSomeMen How to be better? in ~life.men

I’m trying to point out that this is one of those scenarios that’s going to make a woman’s eyes roll, like we’ve missed the point.
We can't meaningfully examine how men need to change and how to change other men's perceptions, without also examining the experiences and influences that shape their behavior in the first place.
Like I said I think it’s good to examine the behavior and experience of men, but again I think there’s an issue with the framing of these thoughts as an answer to the original question. We can answer the question “how can men be better” before we examine and understand their experiences. Yes, I agree, exploring the subject is a good idea. I’m not trying to argue with you about it. But when the question is “how can men be better” and the response is “before we can answer that we have to ask what can we do to better understand men” it’s subtly deferring being better until after we’ve had this second complex, nuanced discussion. We can do both, and we can actually answer how to be better right away.

ogre Link ParentI appreciate what you’re saying, trying to be better, open minded, etc. but I want to take a step back to look at the current conversation as a whole.

You spent more than half your comment criticizing how women understand the experiences of men when the initial premise was “men need to be better about understanding women’s experiences and try harder to make the world less shitty”, and OP is asking “how can we be better?”
Do you see how that might be frustrating for a woman to read this thread and see the top comment is mostly reversing the question about how women can be better?

I’m going to try to state it as plainly and succinctly as possible for everyone’s benefit
It is as simple as:
- don’t interject with “not all men”, it is valueless and unhelpful
- don’t assume you do not or have not contributed to an environment that makes women feel shitty
- don’t assume your friends aren’t capable of saying or doing awful things, just because you haven’t seen it
It is not:
- self hatred or self guilt
- nagging
- virtue signaling
That’s it, that’s all. If only one dude reads this and realizes just how easy it is, I’ll be happy.

The aim isn’t to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff
