I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, I’m sorry, BUT,

It’s than.

Than is used when comparing, then would be “first we pay for war, then healthcare”.

I’m sorry. It’s petty but it’s my only grammar thing.

Yeah in my area standard time would be better. The summer would be a bit more sane, I think sunset can be as late as 10:30 at the peak of summer, so losing an hour isn’t horrible there

BC/Vancouver just removed it but made it DST year round. My only worry against that is that mornings would be hella dark. For where I live, sunrise in the winter (standard time) is around 7:55AM, meaning that’s crack of dawn first light. Spring forward, so 7:55 becomes 8:55, meaning our first sunlight of the day won’t be until about 9am. Now, our evenings will be a bit longer (sunset is around 4-4:30, so now 5-5:30, but still most people won’t even see sunrise.

Every developer just died thinking about the maintenance

Its always some boomer isn’t it?

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.

Corporate suits love ignoring player feedback and telling people they’re wrong.

No, we’re goddamn sick of enshittification and would rather PlayStation failed than give into it.

It sounds like the female led movies all start as something interesting, but marketing, legal, and overall corporate overhead is chicken shit and making them lame. You can’t have a complex narrative! You need to make it simple for them! You can’t have gotr, women won’t like it! So they nerf it.

Its the exact opposite of feminism in my book.

Sony reportedly not interested in my money it turns out.

The older I get the more selective I get about games. If you aren’t even willing to publish to the platform I’m on then there’s a huge reason for me to play all of the other games I’ve been wanting to. Not spending hundreds of dollars on a console for one game.

Lousy Smarch weather

How do you know they don’t read that and multiple other sources to gain a round opinion?

Nice, that’s useful, they get something for free… What do we get?

They revealed it I guess, but they didn’t make it. They bought it off a startup.

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

It’s been nearly 20 years since Google revealed Android

Right off the bat it’s incorrect.

I never use them, so why are they still there?!
