First all the bs with Twitter and Elon, then Reddit having an exodus to Lemmy (not complaining lol), then Twitch. Are we like, in an alternate self healing dimension or something?
Their death is waaaay overdue. We literally jumped one cycle because the 2008 financial crisis and 0% interest rate.
Now there is no free money, and they need to extract value to seem a good investment, so they canibalize themselves and turn into shit.
Most of Elon stuff is doomed once reality catches on. Same with Uber. Same with streaming platforms. Same with Meta.
Also there is a new/old boy in the bubble and burst town, Microsoft and their AI push. It’s going to destroy them pushing them into overspending to keep up.
It's amazing how they can be so over zealous about protecting their IP and at the same time do nothing about conservation of their older, less blockbustery games.
Must be so tough giving your all to a Nintendo game and seeing it disappear from the face of the earth, having only the retro gaming community and emulators working to keep your work alive and in the hands of gamers.
Nintendo is a incredibly poor steward of their own legacy. They hold amazing pieces of software hostage to... lets face it... average to unnecessary hardware. And if a game is not moving console sales... they just let it rot.
The “centrists” that all all in favor of letting the oppressor and the oppressed talk their differences in a neutral playground are great.
Requires a level of love for the status quo and lack of reflection that never ceases to amaze.
Dude, you are not in the center. You are three steps from the neonazis and a thousand kilometers from the tankies. Even if you are opposed to the “extremes” and “mu horseshoe” yo are not equidistant.
USA has been using credit scores since the 50s. It's a banking thing. Chinese Social Credit does not work like you think it works.
Blackrock doesn't give a damn about pride, it's just good for business to do not look like a bigot right now. Liberals simply have more money, liberal cities are bigger and better markets. Liberals right now are pro gay rights. IF liberals get transphobic you will see a tarnsphobic Blackrock. They have no moral agenda. They only want to own everything and collect rent. Blackrock makes investments in private equity, stock market and real state. It's not a loaner. Your bank is who will deny you a loan because "computer says no".
Twitter is just bad business dude. It's badly managed. If advertising in Twitter meant more money every corporation would be purchasing adds, but even before Elon backstabed the workers, destroyed the contracts and infrastructure and loaded the company with billions in debt Twitter was shrinking. The presence in the zeitgeist is totally artificial, because celebrities, politicians and journalists are obsessed with it. But Pinterest has more users than Twitter.
I’m in for the headset. Either it does the apple thing of giving shape to an unfocused consumer tech product (media players, smartphones, super thin laptops, tablets) or we get an amazing train wreck.
Best case escenario apple sends every manufacturer in a wild goose chase again. Lots of cheap parts flood de market and open hardware headsets become accesible.
Yes, there is quite a debate raging across different networks about what protocol to support. Obviously, those who know only one well, are going to root for that one, irrespective of whether it may be the best one....
Important note: the big email players are constantly tightening their grip using spam as an excuse. Currently hosting your own mail server is a nightmare, as outlook and gmail more or less have a whitelist of hosts, not a blacklist.
There's some other RPi alternatives out there with less supply issues, but it seems like those have less community support and nearly no vendor support, especially with binary blobs. I'm looking forward to RPis being more available again.
Free open source software tools for developers! I am a bit biased due to being a KDE contributor, but honestly Kate is my favorite text editor by far....
Kate carried my sorry ass through most of the years I spent in college. Maybe my teachers were right pushing me towards Vi and Emacs, but I just needed a text editor for my shitty C++ and Kate just was more familiar to me.
Haven’t really used it for coding in years, but the LSP client opens a whole new world of possibilities for the little editor that could.

Open source will, as always, produce the better software, but probably not the better product. That’s the space Meta, Microsoft/OpenAI and google will occupy. As with everything else.
Seriously, what's up with big sites literally dying as we speak?
