We’re what, 14 years past when they should have done that? Windows 8 introduced the new UI style, and then Windows 10 was their chance to cement it. You can’t even blame compatibility, Microsoft’s own controls were all behind the legacy UIs. You can tell they were pushed and rushed out the door when nothing was ready.

At this point their UI has been so hacked and slashed that the fact that it compiles is a shock to me.

Yeah they truly automated the best part of my role. Now it’s monitoring Claude sessions and more meetings.

I’m planning an exit, can’t be tomorrow or next year, but 5-10 years if this continues. I think they’re going to see an exodus of senior talent over the next decade.

The FTC doing something good?

yeah this is some I declare bankruptcy bullshit. Goes right back to the federalist papers

Even if not, it’s going to drive down costs. If China can get it cheap, it means other suppliers will have to OP much supply

While true, if you’ve ever been in a bullshit marketing video you’ll know that marketing is the stupidest team ever.

Just pretend like you’re working!

Yes and no.

Yes, in that it does and will affect you, and you do need to take an interest. You need to vote in every election you can, you need to stay involved, you need to make a stand. Without that we will lose everything we care about. Those in power have shown that they are happy to chip away at things, but as soon as any opposition is shown they start backing down.

No, in that your life is your own, and you can’t let politics dictate your life. As someone with a ton of anxiety, I cannot read the news daily, I do not subscribe to the news communities, I have to stay away from it. I choose to live my life and make the most of it, living day to day. My family and friends are the most important to me, and I spend my time enjoying them. I came very close to crumpling into a deep depression due to the news, and then got help. It was a hard lesson in learning I cannot personally change everything, and I cannot hold myself responsible for everything that has happened.

Confused? Good. It’s a personal journey, you have to pick and choose yourself, and draw your own lines and figure out where your responsibility is and when you’ve done your part. I stay educated, I know what’s happening, I know who I’m voting for, I know when to stand up. That does not mean I need to stay glued to my computer and doomscroll. You’ll have to draw your own line.

I’m not sure…

How dare you! The cyclops was historically accurate!!

They really forced it after end game to keep us all watching. They completely forgot the storytelling of the infinity stones. They didn’t even mention that something might be up with the tesseract until the end of the avengers, and then it was a really cool game of assembling the stones and keeping track of them through all of those movies. Each movie you’d guess that it’s a stone and see whose hands it fell into, slowly piecing together that something was driving all of it. It’s what made infinity war so interesting, we saw 15 years of buildup.

The multiverse they just hammered it into every movie. No real nuance or story devices, nothing exciting to watch movie to movie.

Just holding up images of memes outside

Yeah Lemmy is the last place before I just go hang out in parks and be outside

Clickbait titles???

that’s the civilized way

yeah from what I understand of hollywood, you need to really hit a certain level before studios will let you do what you actually want. Nolan and very few others like you said are at that level, but you essentially have to be at the top. That also means you put in a lot of time and effort doing other things to get there.

Hey now, I’ve been here for 3 years and my reddit accounts haven’t seen a login since. If everyone else went back that’d on them.

I thought that was the stupidest thing, the Reddit “blackout”. Company doesn’t care. It’s a metric. It’s a line on a graph. When stakeholders ask they’ll point to it and say “This was are anticipated backlash from the Q2 decision to ban 3rd party APIs, but as you can see we already recovered and have grown at our normal pace.”

Nah, it won’t matter. Even if they only operated in China it will be huge. China has a huge need of chips themselves, as we saw the the underground markets to import around US tarriffs. Suddenly they have their own supplier which will probably undercut the others in there since it was partially paid for by the CCP.

So there goes all of China, and now there is a huge overabundance of supply because they aren’t selling to them anymore. So they can either try to ratchet up the prices, knowing that CXMT proves its not worth it and the underground chip market reverses now out of China, or they start actually competing.

That’s the worst case scrnario right now, and even then that would be temporary. No matter what more comoetition is going to drive down prices. They know it, it’s why they are locking in 5 year price deals now while prices are high.

The more I hear from “it needs to be historically accurate” dweebs the more I realize they think “historically accurate” is whatever they’ve seen from Hollywood before. Guaranteed most of them thought of the movie Troy with Brad Pitt as their “historical” source.

Google switched a lot of free things to a monthly subscription, and their remake of Google health is indicative of more to come. It’s enshittifying fast, I wouldn’t.
