Yeah Lemmy is the last place before I just go hang out in parks and be outside

Clickbait titles???

that's the civilized way

yeah from what I understand of hollywood, you need to really hit a certain level before studios will let you do what you actually want. Nolan and very few others like you said are at that level, but you essentially have to be at the top. That also means you put in a lot of time and effort doing other things to get there.

Hey now, I've been here for 3 years and my reddit accounts haven't seen a login since. If everyone else went back that'd on them.

I thought that was the stupidest thing, the Reddit "blackout". Company doesn't care. It's a metric. It's a line on a graph. When stakeholders ask they'll point to it and say "This was are anticipated backlash from the Q2 decision to ban 3rd party APIs, but as you can see we already recovered and have grown at our normal pace."

Nah, it won't matter. Even if they only operated in China it will be huge. China has a huge need of chips themselves, as we saw the the underground markets to import around US tarriffs. Suddenly they have their own supplier which will probably undercut the others in there since it was partially paid for by the CCP.

So there goes all of China, and now there is a huge overabundance of supply because they aren't selling to them anymore. So they can either try to ratchet up the prices, knowing that CXMT proves its not worth it and the underground chip market reverses now out of China, or they start actually competing.

That's the worst case scrnario right now, and even then that would be temporary. No matter what more comoetition is going to drive down prices. They know it, it's why they are locking in 5 year price deals now while prices are high.

The more I hear from "it needs to be historically accurate" dweebs the more I realize they think "historically accurate" is whatever they've seen from Hollywood before. Guaranteed most of them thought of the movie Troy with Brad Pitt as their "historical" source.

Google switched a lot of free things to a monthly subscription, and their remake of Google health is indicative of more to come. It's enshittifying fast, I wouldn't.

Yeah they claim it's safe because it's through their store, but isn't this a direct path to a supply chain attack? One app using electron has one bad npm dependency and it auto installs and updates on every machine? This seems like a security nightmare scenario.

Bu hey marketing gets to put their shit in front of everyone's eyes so who cares.

Yeah this was a significant non answer. "We want to sound like we're doing something without doing anything"

Yeah no shit. This was the plan all along. Big tech wanted to flood the market with too much talent so they could lower pay for engineers. This was always the plan.

They never gave two shits about women in coding, or inner city coding caml's. They wanted mass cheap labor.

The cherry on top is right as that labor was coming out they got a double whammy of AI too.
