Since 2020, my specific team only meets in person 3 times per year, with one or two members deciding to come into the office once every 2 weeks (because they want to).
We discovered early on that we were more productive WFH (with metrics to back it up), so we only have live meetups to organize big projects. We then take those big plans home with us and get it done remotely.
I can’t say it would work for every team, but I definitely don’t see the value in “being in the office” as someone who works entirely on the computer.
I see a lot of propaganda about how teams are more productive when they have “spontaneous interactions around the water cooler”, but in my experience that was never really a driving factor of our work.
Apple has absolutely cornered the mobile market, so that’s probably why they don’t seem to be in any hurry to seriously support the PC gaming space.
They tend to focus hard on niches they can overcome, and PC/console gaming is a little too established for them to stick their toes in. They tried with the Pippin and the pre-Halo era of gaming, but it didn’t work out for them.
If the Apple headset takes off, they may start pushing harder for VR game support, but who knows?
This is a technology community, and (whether you like it or not) Twitter being rebranded to X is pretty big news in the world of tech.
Especially with the slipshod way they are doing with it, there is bound to be a lot of articles covering different weird tangential effects from the rush job.
Netflix cracking down on password sharing, reddit’s API changes, every streaming platform raising their prices, YouTube fighting against adblockers and potentially charging creators for visibility… the list goes on and on, and it seems to be coming from every direction all at once.
Am I missing some huge financial change in the tech investment sphere that has affected Silicon Valley (ie. freakout due to the SVB collapse)?
Or is this just a case of companies seeing each other get away with squeezing consumers, and following suit?
Uncle Owen literally calls Obi-Wan a wizard — “That wizard’s a crazy old man” — so canonically that is how Jedi are seen by (at least some of) the population.
Harlan Ellison narrated the audiobook, and he hammed it up so much when delivering the AM lines (in a good way) that there was really no one else who could have voiced the role in the game by the time it was developed.
The best part about the game is that Ellison also wrote the script and dialogue for it.
If they can’t provide enough defense representation for their defendants, then it sounds like the State Prosecutors should be dropping more cases.
Not every minor drug infraction requires a prosecutor to push for a plea deal. Let it go and focus on the big stuff if there aren’t enough lawyers to go around.
You’re right — PWAs can be feature rich and versatile. I’m glad they exist.
However, as much as I like wefwef (especially coming from Apollo), I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS. I’m also much less likely to trigger browser-specific functions if I’m using a dedicated app.
Assuming the Lemmy platform remains open, I don’t have any issue supporting a developer for making a great app for it.
The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
What are some good Subs on Lemmy that we should know about?
Subs? Not sure if that’s the right term on here.
