    Pretty sure the 2nd advisor isn’t actually a computer scientist/developer or if they are they are absolutely employed as Technical Sales for a consulting company. Otherwise their answer would have looked incredibly similar.

    Because money.

    When you sell to a big corporation their only goal is to milk every dollar possible.

    And it will keep happening again and again until the system changes or people with more conscience than greed decide not to sell to the highest bidder.

    It’s not good enough to be profitable. It’s good enough when your current workforce is at its breaking point because you can barely get the required work done. Then you announce record profits, the investment banks expect even more growth next quarter, the employees are thanked with a canned letter from the CEO for their hard work, you cut a division in half while increasing their work, hire a consulting firm that will do a crap job on a project but you don’t have to pay benefits, and then give your employees a negative review for poor time management of an impossible workload and do it all again.

    I’m not jaded at all. :(

    Then stop claiming it’s OC with your post title. Not hard.

    Edit - not sure if it’s an issue with my client or Lemmy - this comment was originally a reply to OP’s now deleted comment. Now showing as a reply to someone else (at least on my client).

  • If in the era of federated social media, large tribes/collectives/factions will develop - which one would you join? (possibly with reference to SF e.g. Expanse, Star Trek, Dune)

    None. The beauty of a federated system is that I can stay in my home and still interact with all of those groups should I choose. If using the local function is important to you, then whichever community you are interested in.

    As cities and states across the country pass ordinances cracking down on camping and homelessness…

    Homelessness should only be a crime if houses are provided to everyone wherever you desire to live and then you chose to then be a public nuisance and sleep blocking a sidewalk or a street.

    Until then, this is just disgusting. Our society is fucked.

    For anyone like me that can’t keep track of what model we are up to now: the 15 was just announced and will be released by the end of the month.

    The 12 is a 3 year old device at this point so this really only affects resellers. Will be interesting to see if Apple pushes an OTA update to reduce the radio power to fall in line even though they no longer sell the device.

  • Was Unity lying yesterday or are they lying today?

    I mean, the non alarmist view here is that they are planning to use data provided by the various stores (Steam, Epic, etc) to determine installation count.

    Not defending Unity, I haven’t done enough research to have an opinion on the change; but this take seems to correlate two things that probably aren’t related. Plus, what’s easier to do: build a system that tracks specific installs of specific games to specific hardware or to ask Steam and Epic for install counts over the last X months.

    Serious question: what makes the ‘tackle’ by the security guard NOT assault?

    There was no prevention of a crime that would normally warrant force. In most places you have to be asked to leave before it’s trespassing.

    That seemed overly aggressive for a first reaction.

    AI Tools - plural. ChatGPT (and OpenAI as a whole) predominantly runs on Azure infrastructure. Microsoft also owns GitHub with its associated copilot. And now all the Microsoft product specific copilots.

    Not trying to defend their usage, but there are several forests here that are quite visible.

    I knew he was nutty, but holy fuck this guy is actually insane.

    If you haven’t, watch at least the first minute of the video. That’s all you need to have your jaw hit the floor at the crazy.

    So many people don’t get this but it’s extremely important. Jack Smith and Fani Willis have been extremely careful and smart in the charges they have brought. They can add more later. And many think they will. But if you are going after the mob, you better make sure your charges are in order and you have a sure fire case or it will come back to bite you.

  • Really really liking Avelon so far. First app that may be able to dethrone Memmy for me. Main Request: add a partner option that goes along with Blur NSFW to entirely hide NSFW. I actually like browsing on all to find new communities but I don’t need those posts in my feed at all unless I specifically want them. Secondary: While we all wait for Lemmy to introduce instance blocking on a user level, it would be nice to see filtering options for keyword and instance. Thanks again! Great work!

    The first part of one of the best series on this channel. No faked thumbnails. No random music. No cuts halfway through the video to a cooking show, just excellent pops. And Gy's pops may be some of the best ever filmed.
