I was just having issues with your opener which sounds whole lot like justification.

Cloudflare is a business. Businesses protect their profits

You say that like it’s ok to do shitty things as long as “you’re a business protecting profits”

The slippery slope falacy is so passé my dude, get on with it.

It’s mostly nerds who had the spine to migrate from Reddit rather than continueing to feed this machine that clearly brings no good for anyone.

Balls to manipulate Turkey into meme votes instead of solving actual issues Turkish people are being affected by? wow

But not Russia?

As someone who switched to nixos - eh. So much hacking to make dev stuff work really kills the magic that nixos is supposed to be :|

Electrician, especially if you’re ok with relocating. So many places around the world lack electricians when the infra just keeps growing everywhere.

What a clickbait “article”. The whole stock market is correcting insane growth of last year and in fact the company with the biggest AI investments (Microsoft) crashed the least!

It’s rewording the real article from Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/technology/ai-companies-lose-190-billion-market-cap-after-alphabet-microsoft-report-2024-01-31/

Same to you pal 👋

Did you really say that you can do as well without food economy as without video game economy. Lol go home 🤡

Nah yes you do. I’m sorry but as much as I love games I can do fine in a world with no commercial video game market. I can’t say the same about world without farming market lol

Gamers are peak delulu to the point where it’s emberassing to associate yourself with this hobby as an adult.

You’re implying that all labor is the same?

Fair point tho as a consumer you don’t really have a practical way to affect this so this whole exercise just feels mentally unhealthy.

How did you come up to that conclusion?

The reality is that it’s an extreme privilege to work in entertainment and art full time so caring about the well being of this industry as a consumer is really not a priority and honestly it shouldn’t be.

I’m a gamer but it’s still so hard to care about layoffs in an entertainment industry. We’ll have fewer games in the next few years? That’s like at the bottom of the list of issues we’re facing in 2024.

It’s much harder to hide corruption when everything is being recorded!

As an anecdote I work in a 20 person team and we hardly have any managers nor meetings. I honestly haven’t even seen many of my coworkers I work with daily but we all keep loads of records from boards, to RFCs to traditional docs and wrap that all up with daily stand-ups. We’re incredibly productive.

Remote is amazing when done well and I don’t see how any CEO could say otherwise with a straight face. It saves so much money that all the “connection” gaps can be easily filled in with team building and workations and other events.

It is the future, well its already the present but many haven’t caught up to it yet.

Let’s not kid ourselves that the copyright is stopping mega corporations from stealing your github code.

What’s stopping them from hiring an engineer that basically rewrites your code? No one would ever know.

Copyleft enforcement is laughable at best and thats with a legitimate non profits working on it (like FSF) and that’s when it comes to direct library use without modifications and there’s basically no history of prosecution or penalties for partial code copying (nor that there should be imo) that’s even when 1:1 code has been found!

I feel like copyright has been doing very little in modern age and have yet to see any science that contradicts my opinion here. Most copyright holders (like high 90%) are mega corporations like ghetty images that hardly contribute back to the society.

Maybe because it’s not the same corporations? We might be seeing a giant powershift from IP hoarders to makers.

Its an open secret that middle managers are trying to save their asses.
