Do you like all the trek? I thought Lower Decks and Discovery both started great but kind of fell off. I heard Picard was good.

This meme gets funnier and funnier every time I read it!

Crypto enthusiasts don’t really care or understand decentralization. If you talk to crypto bros you will realize pretty quickly that a lot of them are very very low IQ morons.

I was at an event and met a crypto bro. He tried to explain to a group of us that btc is like moss and the world is the forest. A couple people legitimately “got it” and began to get excited about crypto.

Yeah I would love to see them do it. I mean hopefully it works and we can use it as a reference. If it fails, well that’s their program.

Unfortunately they will bungle this shit the same way the fucked up their healthcare and it will just be a disaster.

This doesn’t actually answer the question.

Well, if your argument is: “any company that becomes a monopoly will abuse monopoly power”, then sure I agree with you. You got me there!

My argument is: “given a reliable financial alternative to advertising, a company will be able to resist enshitification for a long time, as long as there is no absolute tyrannical monopoly.”

I assumed the last part was implied and I’m sorry for the confusion!

You have to pay for kagi so they are not incentivized to serve ads. They are incentivized to give you a good set of search results so you keep paying.

On top of that, Egyptian military intelligence warned Mossad about an imminent invasion and Mossad ignored them. The Israelis are going to be asking their government a lot of very hard questions over the best decade.

Just to make sure I understand your argument, you think Israel is going to nuke Gaza? In that case, I have a very lucrative bridge to sell you.

This is standard. You always get rid of the upper management. You give them a lot of money and a round of applause and then you put your own people in. Everyone at the top will be Microsoft.

They had to sell the console distribution fights to Ubisoft so at least you can look forward to that!

Can you follow rss feeds on the fediverse?

No matter how many downvotes you get on Lemmy you still have the majority of your countrymen on your side so at the end of the day you still win.

Please tell my wife this.

Just pick the 15th most common name of the previous year. Then your kid will be fine.

In order to grow a chat app you need a consistent and stable interface over a long period of time. It can’t have too much bullshit in it either.

In order to grow your career at Google you need to build ridiculous shit and then leave once you get your promo. Entire departments get reorged so someone can hit their people manager quota.

Product groups, business units, “orgs”, VPs, SVPs, it’s all just a game and “everyone’s playing except you.” This is why Google kills shit. Because Google rewards behavior that results in killing shit.

Telemetry, in the context of software development and UX design, is either a decision by the misinformed or just an excuse to save costs by axing the Windows QA department.

That’s very silly. That’s actually such a ridiculous opinion I’m pretty sure you’ve left out some assumption that would make it make sense.

Except this isn’t 1982 and that computer is running Windows 11, not Multix. The CPU probably has at least 8 cores and the NIC can do at least a gigabit. A network retry is not going to matter.
