Any sort of tech company was always a headless chicken. It’s just that when software developers were the hot thing on the horizon we were oblivious to the stupidity that thrives in corporate.

If you think about a business that maximizes profit, and sample opinions from the business side about the business domain… you would be forgiven to assume the replies are nothing short of genius. However, the facade of brilliance falls apart the moment you attempt to sample anything adjacent to business or unrelated to it. You will realize that having experience in and making a lot of money does not translate well to other endeavors where making money is not the main concern.

Now that we have been milked dry like Apids in an Ant farm and have been virtually kicked out of the money making complex, we start to realize we were just cattle all along and that praise for our stature in the industry as the eponymous “genius” of the entire operation was just flattery to assuage any inconvenience we perceived through corporate bullshit. They succeeded in avoiding drawing our ire towards the incredibly narrow-sighted and hollow endeavor that is making the line go up exponentially.

Now that facade has fallen face first at the dawn of the LLM era. The arrogance that hid from software engineers and developers but was all too apparent to blue collar and “lesser” corporate functions has shown it’s face to us, the enlightened morons.

Thanks for coming to (hehe) my TED talk

Can’t tell if you are describing a screen type or are Aussie

undermine civil liberties and enable censorship,

Doublespeak for “we can’t fuck with whomever we want, and our propaganda would be censored”

Lol I saw this when it came out and we had another thread (or not, I might be getting DejaVu).

My pet theory for why they did it like this is:

they fired any experienced dev and told a bunch of juniors; whose experience was only in react, to write a TUI. The juniors obviously thought they would code up the backend first because they were like “TUI? What’s that? Some kind of web frontend that looks like the cmd.exe?” and then it was just a terminal-like frontend rendered using a canvas.

What? you expected me to double down? I am trying to make lemmy better than reddit, not worse.

I’ve been around on the internet for longer…

Are you saying that never happens? I too have been around the internet for long. Votes come in waves. The first wave is usually full of trash, discarded water bottles and weird coconuts. The second wave on-wards is clean. It also depends on your timezone.

I genuinely thought she died and was relieved she didn’t. Posted to ensure nobody else experiences the roller coaster I did.

Fuck me, right?

Lol, I don’t think anyone would assumed she died

I did and it is kind of disheartening until you learn otherwise. Hence I tried to warn others but apparently people don’t like that?

This is bollocks because countries can decide to put import tariffs to safeguard their home grown industries. No country in the world has zero import duties unless they don’t have a local industry to protect.

With how it’s going, Will systemd also eventually be able to occasionally remind my Asian ass that I am a failure?

FYI,

She broke a wrist. So don’t break your hearts.

Scumbag move right here.

Edit: Also why feeling so insecure over their dominance they have to ban people from using whatever frontend they want?

Which is why they thought it would be cool to name the game that.

Somehow managed to understand your description of this paper in one reading.

Sure but the title sounds interesting on it’s own and prompted me to learn what it was. It’s clickbait but there’s no bait and switch when you visit the article.

And the description gives enough clue for me what the article is going to be about:

What happens when a large open source project dies.

Edit:

And I find that focusing too much about upvotes won’t make for a good community experience. If the material is good the upvotes will eventually arrive.

or you can just read an actually interesting article

Hmm sorry for calling you a Rube. You make a fair point.

hey accumulating stuff that you still find use for is better than throwing them away. And you said you give away stuff to other people for their use… which probably saves even more devices from a landfill.

two verbose flags makes it extra verbose

tcpdump intensifies

But what tool did you have in mind?

yeah swinging swords makes that cheap metallic noise. Quests don’t have the pull that we expect them to. None of the characters are interesting. No continuity with quests. I notice the bugs that Tod Howard never fixed but re-released with bigger textures, which only makes the greed more palpable.
