What makes GN fake?

I’ve watched the video and work at Atlassian, that’s entirely not what the video is. The guy basically just goes over what he worked on and some things he learned. It’s basically a solid video resumé with a clickbait title. Nothing he says is new or scandalous - most of it’s open source.

Transmission is awesome because it's simple. It only does what you need and has the best UI for doing so.

Man walks into nearly-empty carriage and sits next to woman he is attracted to despite her clear discomfort. Other male passenger on the carriage forces the man to move to a different seat to make the woman feel comfortable and safe again.

I feel like posts like these always fail to realize how fucked of a situation US 'democracy' is in where you must vote for one shitty candidate because the other is literally a fascist.

Like no actually some people have decided that the entire system is untenable - they know there's a lesser of two evils, but they refuse to partake of an illegitimate system.

Steve Jobs did at least actually do things. Musk just buys things and claims he did them.

If a 1yo was raped and somehow impregnated, they would literally and absolutely die if they did not receive an abortion. In absolutely no way does this disgusting moron make any sense.

How the hell does Zoom have 7500 employees??

They also have the Godot Fund which is already at $30k/mo alongside about $12k/mo on Patreon, so it's approximately a 22% increase actually. Still epic!

I feel like I'm the only person who wasn't blown away by the graphics.

Like sure it looked really good, but it still looked like a videogame, on the same level as 3yo last-gen Last of Us 2

I don't like Apple but they ship their devices with everything a basic user needs and if a high quality, completely for free. When you get a MacBook you don't need to worry about finding and downloading an external app for almost anything - from viewing any kind of file, to basic photo and video editing, to document processing, etc. And they don't track every minute thing you do and act like malware to try to make you use their products.

Out of all the digital stores Steam arguably offers by far the most actual functionality and features for its cut. It’s still too high, but it’s possibly the least egregious example vs Apple, Google etc

1. Optimisation. Many, many games haven't even had a proper baseline of optimisation let alone targeted optimisation for specific specs like consoles

2. The PS5 GPU is more powerful than a 2060, and as a newer generation architecture supports more features which can be leveraged to improve performance

3. The PS5 operating system is wayyy less taxing than Windows or any other OS because it does much less and does it more optimized

The company claims good values and I would say mostly lives up to them, especially transparency. Though overall it is slowly becoming more corporate as it grows and especially leans in to AI hype.

The people and compensation and benefits are great, you get a lot of resources (can just spin up a fully hosted app via a terminal command if you want).

I am also lucky to be part of a small, internal-facing, chill, and yet important team so my experience on day-to-day work would definitely differ from a random Jira dev though.

I’ve not yet met anybody who has disliked working at the company — everybody dislikes the ‘APEX’ system used for measuring performance though lmao.

80hr in and literally just started Act 2 lmao

First time I'd ever seen him host such a show and I now understand why everybody loves him - he was excellent.

Ben & Jerry’s gives out free ice cream at various progressive protests here in Australia. It is delicious and amazing for morale.

All the recent stuff is him trying to whitewash his image so he isn't remembered as the bastard he is. Unfortunately, it's working.

What is and isn't worth preserving is not something that can be known at the time of preserving. The point of preservation is so things can be accessed later if and when they're needed. Even shitty games like Avengers may be relevant in many ways in the future, even if just to reference as 'a shitty game'.

I think it's awesome that different Batman stories can examine different versions of Bruce and his position as a billionaire - it allows different aspects of the world to be interrogated: criminals sometimes doing crime because they know of no other way to survive in a capitalist hellscape, the apathies of billionaires to the evils of their financiers, Batman's obsession with order leading him to militarise the streets of the city he loves, etc.
