I think the premise here is just wrong. It's like asking would you drink seawater if it wasn't salty - that's just not going to happen, ever.

"Temporary" in corpo-speak means permanent if it generates profit and there-were-some-technical-issues if it doesn't, so this is just Felon Muskrat testing the waters.

Most probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind\_(app)

Blind is an app that provides an anonymous forum and community for verified employees to discuss issues. Users on Blind are grouped by topics, company and their broader industry. The app verifies that the registered users actually work in the company through their work email and claims to keep user identities untraceable.

I'd dare to say people don't choose Windows, it is forced on them by having it preinstalled and that seals the deal for most. Your average Joe Sixpack would likely not even notice they are using Linux, since most just browse the internet and the major browsers are the same for both.

I'm usually against violence, but when it's billionaire vs billionaire... brb, I need to get some popcorn.

I think she forgot the "/s" from her bio.

I mean, no sane person would use this corporate buzzword salad as their bio, right?

Well, Valve is a privately held company with a management that has a longer term vision than the next quarterly profits, so there's that. Make it public and let the MBAs in and it'll become shit in no time, which I sincerely hope will never happen.

Just to note, Tillitis (the company behind this) was spawned by Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/mullvad-creates-a-hardware-company

Don't forget that the real migration has not even started, assuming there is going to be one - one week to go for that to begin.

In this particular case, you could say that the real unicorns were the human users.

It is a rare feat to be as full of shit as this Santos fellow.
You could probably use him as an emergency reserve of manure for several years without depleting a notable fraction of what he's made of.

It is with great schadenfreude that I welcome these news.

Definitely agree with the sentiment in the comment.

Though, how ironic is it that this post might as well have been generated by a bot?
Literally a screenshot of a comment without attribution and with an account 2 hours old...

Just look at their history and their acc being a day old - there's no way this is sarcasm: https://lemm.ee/u/MrBusinessMan

The cynic in me screams that this post is to stir up FUD because someone at BigSocial is shitting their pants right now... :D (/s?)

But yes, you have some valid points but stretching too thin is not going to get us anywhere and will just result in people leaving due to lack of content. Remember that divide and conquer is a valid tactic too, so having many small instances isn't going to magically shield us from Bad Things (TM).

Perhaps something along the lines of: skip/I don't remember ?

holy hell

At least on Arch Linux, I've gotten a heavily modded Skyrim to run just fine (tbh, even better than on windows), so it should definitely be doable, although perhaps a bit tricky.
This was with a vanilla wine & some winetricks and a quite old Skyrim base game, though, so not sure about the newer Skyrim iterations.

You should remember that there's a lot of numbers between 0 and 1.4 billion - say, 100 million.

Why would they not pad their numbers if they cannot meaningfully be held accountable?
If padding with X users is projected to generate the most profit, then they are going to do just that.

First OceanGate and now Fortigate...
At least both were honest in their naming.

willing to adopt an open standard they’re not in control of

yet

Make no mistake, they will certainly try to capture the standard under their exclusive influence, just like Google has done with everything web related.

So... this is what hell was referring to all along?

  • evil people: check
  • underground: check
  • everlasting: check
  • metaverse torment: check

I'm no C expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but wouldn't any reasonable optimizing compiler remove the constant check at compile-time?

Of course, this is not guaranteed and depends on the compiler flags, so preproc should be preferred if compile-time is desired.

The best part in all of this is that the real shit has yet to hit the fan - 9 days to go.

Those two are not mutually exclusive, so both could be used at the same time.

Oh, look, a shilling bot.

I hope there's some work being done on auto-banning this kind of shit...
