They have one, but you also want information to be where people are. Especially if where people are is full of misinformation and rumours.

I'm going to choose to believe the CEO is actively trying to tank the share price for some reason. This is approaching get fired or sued by shareholders level.

He isn't a "really good business man", everything he's made is built on a foundation of lies. Eventually, it'll collapse or be saved by socialised systems for being too big to fail. Musk is a con man, not a businessman. He's just made a living out of conning investors and the public alike.

It's cool how you can be providing the labor for a company and then that company gets bought by another company and the shareholders who don't actually make the thing get rich and then you get fired because the other company has a bad year even though the thing you labored for is incredibly successful.

A good reminder that protesting in the UK is effectively illegal, the police have powers to arrest you for doing pretty much anything at a protest, and the government pushes them to do so.

People who go out and protest are risking a lot, they deserve your respect

How is enjoying music "pointless"? I don't understand your train of thought at all. Benefit from it? I just like music

Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.

There is zero chance that there isn't also a third account

I really love it when Greta Thunberg gets in the news, you just know that it upped the blood pressure of a bunch of weirdos

well you have about 4-6 years to find another job then, like it or not, OpenAI is going to be owned by Microsoft

It's worth remembering that this guy says anything that's in the current trend because just saying those things helps share prices. Then nothing comes of it.

FF16 wasn't stuffed full of nfts or crypto or even microtransactions even though the president makes comments about this stuff.

These words aren't for you, it's for the market.

The pressure doesn't matter, apple makes a legitimate amount of money from people scared of being a different colored bubble. Unless someone actually writes it into law and makes a provision that all the bubbles must appear the same, nothing will change

It's E2E, E2E isn't really something you can be sneaky about unless you roll your own encryption and then make claims about it totally being safe bro

They, however, run the app you are using to type everything, the keyboard you are using to type everything and the os you are using to type everything. If they want something, they don't need to look at your in flight messages.

And in no other games! Patents aee truely wonderful aren't they.

country known for firing missiles at non-combatant and commercial planes has a plane full of political power suddenly crash. a mystery for sure.

scaled ranking is gonna be a gamechanger, I don't subscribe to a few communities just because they will blow out my other ones

1. it's basically fine and unoffensive ui to 99.9% of people
2. people see it as functionally free because they bought prime for free delivery
3. People don't know how to pirate

It will. This is just more layoffs disguised as back to office. They'll lose a bunch of good workers, but they bought VMware for the customer base, not the workers.

America needs to start fighting for worker rights, it's just sad how little they have.

Godot is great, and in 5 years it could be Blender level of capable, but today it's not at the level that Unity and UE are. and Op is a working professional apparently so they probably need that capability.

out of all the subscriptions, it's probably the best one. you can get youtube for free but either you're gonna get ads or you'll block them, and the creators you like will start seeking other forms of revenue that are just as/more annoying, or just quit.

yt-premium makes youtube an actually nice experience and keeps money flowing to creators. There's a limit to how much that nice-experience is worth but it's better than paying for netflix, and a bunch of netflix execs get paid, and the creators don't. then the show you like is cancelled and removed anyway.

1, it's aspartame

2, Mice aren't humans, and routinely, things that happen in mice do not happen in humans. It is not at all indicative of anything and can really only be used as a hint better than nothing for looking into similar effects in humans.

You don't need to change your diet, and you certainly don't need to replace it with sugar.

Funding drying up is real, but if you see an established profit making company doing it, just remember that whenever they do layoffs, share prices rise. The execs get big bonuses for share prices, so sacrificing employees for those bonuses is worth it to them because they are parasites on society.

I like a good anti reddit circlejerk as much as anyone, but this community did the same thing https://lemmy.world/post/6105113 was here yesterday, it's gone now

NightAHawkinLight on youtube has been working on something similar. same kind of snow-like nanostructure to reflect light away, but with the added benefit of a paint that emits light in a wavelength that travels through the atmosphere without interacting with any of it.

so if you point a painted tile at the sky it will actually cool below ambient temperature, it's pretty wild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3bJnKmeNJY

I don't know how it will eventually happen, but Microsoft is going to own everything open ai someday. They are playing the long game

Apple just isn't good at playing this "control an entire industry" game as its contemporaries like Microsoft.

It's "embrace, extend, extinguish". But apples play seems to be more like the five stages of grief.

• denial, the eu won't ever force us to do a thing, we're Apple! They wouldn't.
• anger, <- we are here
• barginning
• depression
• acceptance.

Every time I read anything about starlink, it all just seems so quintessentially American.

You've got effective monopolies of communication infrastructure, which causes everyone to be underserved, and instead of just fixing the monopoly problem, you fire off infinite rockets full of cell towers that burn up in a year

Why invent the screwdriver if you have a hammer

This is a layoff masquerading as "return to office".

Reddit doesn't really have rules unless it's bad for advertising or a big news outlet picks something up

Unions don’t stop lay-offs, but this is still a strong move and probably the most likely to succeed. CDPR needs to find new income now that they don’t have a game on the horizon, so they need devs to produce.

Literally, the power is in the devs’ hands here. CDPR's only option is to either work with the union or lay them all off and then not release any new products and go bankrupt.

Hopefully, it spreads to more European countries and becomes normal business for games to be made with unions in Europe

The quality of duolingo has gone down massively in the past few years as they have done lay-offs, they don't even have anyone checking the feedback coming from users any-more.

the courses themselves are worse too, designed more to stretch out app usage rather than teach more. I used to recommend duolingo as a good starter on learning a language, but it's just so bad now that I won't. And it seems to be a direct result of layoffs.

'cutting ties and moving on' would require a total rebuild of their games in a new engine. it doesn't really work that way.

Successful indies helping out the indie industry is the only way it'll grow, a big award show that gets people's eyes is the kind of marketing most developers could only dream of. But they a really going to have to treat each nomination as a commercial, people need to be sold on these games

Assuming they don't just pick the devs that were already thinking of. If it's just that then it's probably pointless

Lol, Microsoft absolutely did not need to spend time making this 'feature' and now they get a bunch of bad press for its existence

If they're surprised that satellites a launched with security flaws and never patched, wait until they learn about literally everything else we've ever made

Have you considered that lowering headcount via rto firings increases profits, which leads to short-term growth in the stock market, so bonuses? Sure, some people will lose their homes, but someone else got a new boat. When God closes a door, he opens a window 🙏

Nice nice, worker rights and less AI in video games. Win win.

On the other side of things. I'm super happy that garmin watches don't have more smartwatch capabilities. Their laser focus on sports wearable is what keeps them massively competitive there and keeps me on weeks of battery life instead of hours of battery life

I sometimes use a snap
