I love this, and I'll even one up it. Let the bubbles burst, this is just a transitional period that you see like a predictable cycle in tech. The dot com burst was like a holocaust compared to this shit. Everyone who was in the tech scene before Google has an easier time with this. We can comfortable watch FAANG recede, and even be grateful for it. Let it happen.

That's right, I'm too busy hanging out at the beach, Uber'ing, and having corn flakes for dinner.

Well of course, as it stands right now it's not AI that stops me from slamming a baseball bat into his cunt-face, it's his security staff.

He claims the developers are hostile to negative feedback, but for anyone who follows the issue trackers they're actually quite open to feature requests. Some get tasked with milestone goals, some for final release, but it's based on available resources and reasonable timelines.

He also claims Gnome implements things people ask for, which is one of the most hilariously inaccurate statements I have ever seen in my entire life.

From one of the comments in this video, my personal favorite is "wake up babe, new vaxry drama dropped". If he read the issue trackers on github, he would see just how aware the devs are of what they need to work on. It's actually been pretty awesome to see the prioritization of work and estimated timelines.

Are you a dumbass?

I'd love to see some of your thoughts against the hopelessness. One of the things I hear about a lot is how companies are good at union-busting. What're some of the suggestions you have in general on overcoming that?

Omg Manjaro is spot on!

There was 2,177 words in the "how to fix" portion of the blog post, you dumbass.

This topic won't go well on Lemmy, as soon as something outside the echo chamber shows up.

An ex-CEO dipshit who got ran off because he fucked around too much, and he pretends that his old stodgy ethically bankrupt perspectives mean shit. That's hilarious.

Ohhh shit man, fuck

Exactly, it's wonderful news!

Cool, let all the dumb fuck time vampires suffer. I won't be helping anyone with shit. "Shoulda bought a Mac"

That really is understated and underfocused on. They're trying to save face and be hire-able, but the reality is that "stay afloat" means millions spent on vintage cars while people like that family struggle towards their future. Stay afloat my ass. It's the sneering face of evil greed that equates to "staying afloat".

I was going to say, they pay the lowest percentage of real income, and that's just for the ones who do it legally. Illegal or ethically questionably speaking, they pay far less even.

Fuck yea man, Dr Sbaitso was the one for me. I loved that shit. It still fucks with people when I bust that out on Dosbox.

Okay, rent/mortgage is 3 grand a month and many of the positions they're removed about filling pay 40-60k a year. The aging workforce got their mortgage decades ago and have a dirt cheap cost of living.

This isn't a small town issue, it's just where the symptoms have a more direct affect. We're all pretty equally trapped, fucked, and/or hopeless. Yay capitalism.

This right here. They go down the fixed hierarchy rabbit hole really hard really fast, no mobility or movement in the company either.

Eat shit you cocksucking motherfucking tankies. Wash your skin, I'm pretty sure your stench reaches the ISS.

Biden did several classy things during some real fuckin difficult times. I can't imagine how tough this decision was. I really hope we as a country can galvanize solid opposition and keep Trump/Vance's asses out. Let's be grateful for the good Biden has done, and if Kamala is the next up that gets the nomination, support the hell out of her.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Excellent post.

Makes me want to play some Fo76 now, a unionized developer with worker protections. I'm going to show my support.

Good riddance, it was Halo in name only. That trash won't be missed one bit by anyone.

Typically it's the NIMBY crowd who's been most fiercely opposed to things like immigration and avoid conversations like "where should they live?". They get so centered around traffic or noise concerns near their SFU houses. When I talk NIMBY, I'm talking about the old boomers that stack city council meetings to help overturn zoning decisions.

I think what you're saying is in solidarity with what I am. White, straight, liberal NIMBY's are wolves in sheep's clothing, extoling DEI and social justice virtues while they reject notions of change as soon as it makes any impact whatsoever on streets near their own neighborhoods.

My apologies if that came across as challenging your point with the nimby stuff. It's like a fuselight, it wasn't for you but just directed out in the open. Retracting the comment. Housing is something that's sensitive to me because we just lost a family member to suicide, and while not solely that person's rationale, among many factors housing was a significant one.

Housing and healthcare on the trajectory it's pointed at today, robs our youth of their hope, and signifies quite loudly that we as a society do not love or value the futures of our children, however people may feel internally.

My only message for NIMBY people is that of hate and revulsion.

I'm sure one or two of them will read it and have an "awww, bless your heart" moment. The rest of those shit-cunts would throw it back at their staffers and fire them for letting such a thing reach their eyes.

Poettering is a douchebag, a Royal fucking asshole, who happened to code a usable, performant, well coded project hosting subprojects that does a better job for the users than all their predecessors.

He’s the guy people love to hate, and he’s really damn good.

I was quite literally illustrating the absurdity by being similarly absurd. Telling people to shut the fuck up about an issue is funny as hell to respond with a similar statement.

We measure success by how many GB's we have consumed when the only keys depressed from power on to desktop is our password. This shit right here is the real issue.

This is exactly why I call corporate DEI fucking worthless. It's pinkwashing with nothing substantive behind it. We see all the rainbows during pride month, while at the same time companies disregard all protected classes (and unprotected classes) quite equally in the layoffs and unethical worker treatment. Cis, trans, gay, straight, queer, furry, binary or non binary, old, and young are all equally getting fucked.

Game development wasn't nearly as corporatized back then. At that timeframe the discovery of what's possible was still being invented, let alone formulated. The sheer discovery back then of what you could do in gameplay was a brand new frontier.

I read

In fact, some execs told The Times that streamers will keep raising prices for the ad-free tiers with the aim of pushing more customers to sign up for ad-supported subscriptions instead.

And then interpreted enshittification. The whole point was that we wanted convenience, and no ads. Ads are a terrific revenue driver that also goes through a bidding process, so they want the growth.

What I see next is a return to the cat and mouse game of mass pirating since there's no agreement on the value proposition. People hate ads, we want to pay a fair price, and execs are just greedy motherfuckers operating on the mentality of extract the most possible monetarily with the absolute minimum cost, sacrifice quality, and fuck it all for the short term. Line must go up even if it's just for another 120 days.

Some of those changes would be welcome, but they reinforce the sense that streaming — at least as envisioned by the executives currently running the business — won’t be all that different from the old cable TV ecosystem. Some things will be better (on-demand viewing), some will be worse (compensation for writers, actors, and other talent), and there might be different players at the top. But in many ways, it will feel like the same old TV.

Typical executive cunts.

Looks like two people suckered by the grifters downvoted your comment (as of this writing). Should they read this, it is a grift, get over it.

Using satire to convey a known truth some already understand implicitly, some don't want to acknowledge, some refuse it outright, but when you think about it, we've always known how true it is. It's tongue-in-cheek but it's necessary in order to convince all these AI-washing fuckheads what a gimmick it is to really be making sweeping statements about a chatbot that still can't spell lollipop backwards.

Dragon Age:Failguard. They made it too easy.

Holy shit this is badass.
