This is disappointing to see - especially since I like a few of their products.

I’m not sure how it is in London, but there’s a strong government push to get people to go back to office (the city). Since politics is every politicians side hustle, and a lot of them own commercial real estate that’s been tanking post pandemic, I feel like they are forcing companies to bring people back to re-inflate the real estate value.

Since companies can’t outright say it’s the government, they have to come up with excuses.

The worst part is I don’t know what’s worse: if I’m wrong or if I’m right :(

not if they’re playing bedrock harcore [sic] mode and die flying around or whatever

photons traveling at the speed of light too! that’s quite dangerous

This was inevitable. Their business model required cutting necessary expenses to drive their prices below taxis, but that’s not sustainable.

Hopefully this encourages the use of biking, public transportation, or at the very least, transportation services that provide better employee benefits.

Uber needs to remember that society functioned just fine before them. It can survive just fine without them.

don’t forget the second part where i quit something i’m good at because i don’t immediately see exponential growth which means my current abilities are a mere fluke

I’d recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.

You have to wonder if these “leaders” of big companies have families or hobbies or like doing literally anything normal.

Being addicted to working and hoarding money beyond reason is an addiction at the end of the day and it has wide reaching impact. They need to get serious help.

Not really surprising. There’s nothing to look forward to and necessities aren’t guaranteed - even if you’re working two jobs.

Maybe I should get a job at Boeing so “I” can put myself out of this misery.

If Gartner comes out with a decent AI model, you could replace over half of your CIOs, CISOs, CTOs, etc. Most of them lack any real leadership qualities and simply parrot what they’re told/what they’ve read. They’re their through nepotism.

Also, most of them use AI as a crutch, so that’s all they know. Meanwhile, the rest of us use it as a tool (what it’s meant to be).

I agree. I had to explain to a younger family member today that when I say “open notepad”, I meant the application that’s been on every Windows version since they were born, not to Google “notepad”

Gave me a crisis that people know so little of what would have been considered basic computer usage a while back.

Google owns YouTube

is this the reason Bleeping Computer made that article about malicious KDE themes? i saw it in my feed but didn’t think much of it

The headline sounded good but the article lists a lot of negatives too. They’re removing discounts for veterans/first responders, they recently laid off 10% of staff, and their price now matches Amazon and Apple. So don’t mistake this for good intention; this is just a business’ survival instincts taking over.

it’s ok. i figured we could never be more than friends

don’t forget all the layoffs happening despite already being overworked, understaffed, and bombarded with RTO propaganda

same here. or at least i finally recognized their potential. but it’s not just the performance, it’s the power efficiency too!

I’ve seen it in some specialty stores past 2-3 months, but they’re being sold for 7-10 USD

can we meet?

don’t forget hiring more people when the workload increases instead of just dropping it on an already overburdened team and then get shocked when they just quit

my apologies. i meant “iPad kid” as in the Internet stereotype where the kid essentially throws a tantrum if they can’t watch their skibidi toilet. and their parents don’t take initiative to engage the child in something more beneficial

if the child uses an iPad to look at art, that’s a great use of the tool and i fully support it

hopefully that clears up what i meant :)
