Neat, didn’t know about theirs!

Every developer just died thinking about the maintenance

Speedtest hasn’t been trustworthy for a while. Okla bought them and immediately started selling to ISPs nodes that they could install (probably just a container or something) that would sit as a “local” speedtest node, so you were testing your connection to the ISP, not testing your actual internet connection. (i.e. giving you the best possible results and what your ISP wanted you to believe).

Fast.com is slightly better in that Netflix spun it up to test your connection to their servers. So it’s independent of ISPs - but then they built high speed optic lines to most ISPs so it’s more like the second-best possible speed.

Accenture will be the same or worse. I don’t trust it for speedtests anymore.

That’s fair. A huge difference is how much money is behind the crazy hype machine, and how desperate they are to keep the hype going. Most actual tech people I know, work with, and are connected with in the field have normalized on tech usage. Knowing when to use it and when not to use it. It’s only the tech bros at the top who are still like “Yeah bro it’s totally going to get rid of labor bro we’re all gonna have androids who do all the work bro just trust me just 200 billion more dollars bro I promise”

Exactly. It should all be treated as another tool in the toolbelt. To me, it reminds me of when GUI editors came along in IDEs like Visual Studio. It honestly feels the same. Tech CEOs immediately clamor to say that tech jobs are dead, the market for engineers dips. Engineers freak out and refuse to learn the technology while others learn what it is. Those who learn and use it as a tool elevate themselves and move faster. There is a non-trivial group of people who refuse to use the GUI tools on principal. Eventually the CEOs realize they made a mistake, and then more work comes in faster than ever before. Eventually over the years/decades everyone starts using the tech as a tool.

It’s the same with an AI. Like it’s following the exact same pattern to a T. CEOs starting to realize that it’s just a tool that can be used, but it needs people at the helm to know how to use it. Devs are split, some it’s accelerating their work if they know what it’s doing, others see a useless boondoggle and refuse to use it but are probably only hurting themselves because every interview is asking “are you using AI”. I’d say we’re finally starting to normalize on it’s usage as a tool.

Which i s why i really think it’s a leap to assume that hiring a single engineer means they are trying to modify the kernel. I really doubt any modifications would make it to the kernel for anti cheat. Server side or something in user space is very likely what they’ll be doing

That would all depend on both the Linux kernel accepting that to the upstream (which, let’s remember crowdstrike), and each distro not removing it. I sincerely doubt that is what this role is. This role is much more likely how to make anti cheat work in linux somehow without kernel access.

Which also doesn’t make sense to me, we already have a few anti-cheats on Linux

Look, I don’t enjoy EA, they’ve killed several of my franchises, but what we shouldn’t do is demonize them for attempting to migrate to Linux. If a huge gaming company is taking Linux seriously it’s something we should celebrate. It means we’re making an impact

Yeah this stuff was never impossible before, it’s just easy to digest now.

It definitely had me trust them for way too long. To be fair, I trusted the original CEOs and company though, who from what I can tell were decent enough people.

Wen Google had to drop literally “don’t be evil”, something I would assume is supposed to be a given, I lost hope for all corporations.

absolutely just another lame-ass troll attempt trying to bait people. Proud here on Lemmy we’re (mostly) just like “gtfo bro”

S01E04 There’s no disgrace like home!

Pour the wine!

They always claim it’s AI. In my experience they want to sell, and their operations budget just got halved so they look extremely profitable.

Because fuck those people’s livelihood, there’s money to be made!

Also why you should never trust private equity. Because they’ll buy this company, come in, realize what just happened, and their solution will be to… cut more people and pawn the company off on yet another firm.

Ah so they found a way to treat their employees even worse! Great

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the agency said such laws would “disrupt global data flows, increase costs and cybersecurity risks, limit Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud services, and expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship.”

• disrupt global data flows - good
• increase costs and cybersecurity risks - not sure how owning their own data is a risk
• limit Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud services - good, and kind of goes against #2
• expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship - ironic

In the Midwest of the states it kills me. Hey here is the most fertile land ON THE PLANET and were just going to pave over it, add shitty suburban sprawl that will be bankrupt in 30 years, and kill the soil while we’re at it. So goddamn wasteful.

I agree with you, absolutely right, but also

"I’m walking to the store honey, I’ll be back in 90 minutes!

Those who wanted to nab front row tickets would have to pay a whopping $5,000 at every date on the tour, while second row tickets were priced at $4,000 a pop.

The pattern continues for $3,000 for the third row, $2,000 for the fourth row, and $1,000 for the fifth row. No added benefits are apparently listed for purchasing tickets for the first five rows.

He does know he’s catering to poor rural people right?

His shows will have his 14 attendees sitting in row 6 I guess.
