We have to stop identifying ownership with these billionaires and "their work" because it's not. It's a team of people who got together to accomplish a mission whether they succeeded or failed. How often is their success just a leader getting out of their way, and how often is failure because leadership was overbearing and "used their authority" to make poor decisions over the group.

"We" society only ever focus on these individuals and it's horribly incorrect to do so.

We need to forget the celebrities and identity the groups.

Can somebody please just link the boobs

Gay but Greek so not fake

So wallpapers, clock changes on lock screen, and updated credential manager which I assume is the latest push for Passkeys.

That qualifies a major version change? It kinda sucks that we've stagnated in mobile OS improvements. You just don't really see anything radically different or innovative anymore.

Honesty I think Obsidian as a product. They have done a pretty good job of keeping my data open and available in the Obsidian Vault.

I pay them for Sync, so I consider it a service for them to maintain and upgrade the software. I would prefer the client be open source but it would hurt their ability to stay afloat and profitable to pay their employees.

If they go under or start an "enshittification" I can just take my JSON and markdown and make my own client or use one of the hundreds of other markdown clients to get my information.

Half Life Alyx was sick and demonstrated everything VR could be. I will standby that statement and tolerate the flamers.

They ruined my favorite show on Netflix by taking out Henry Cavil. So when they stopped account sharing I decided to not get an account and just stick with Hulu.

Might get rid of all the TV's out of the house anyway. Screw em all.

I mean this isn't unprecedented. Blackwater exists in the United States, hell you even have the Pinkertons, if you go back the revolutionary war the Brits used the Hessians to fight.

Mercenary is one of the oldest professions.

This is the quality content I want on my Lemmy.

Because Lemmy isn't serving you content based on some convoluted marketing algorithm?

For the first time in my career I'm actually not in this position. Found an employer that's an ex engineer and just "gets it". Good compensation, good benefits, and invests in all of our understanding and careers. Sucks seeing all the people just let go so I'm surprised this survey has this result.

Maybe it was conducted before this season of let gos.

Can you give a specific reason?

I feel that I'm usually more upset that apps choose electron and I have performance issue because they didn't spend time writing a proper lightweight desktop application. I feel like Calibre is actually one of those apps.

I could see portability across devices being useful but is the Calibre interface really going to be conducive for that?

Dude so the Mayans and all the Nostradamus hooplah could've coincidentally occurred with that solar storm?! Ya'll remember that right?

Is this actually 14.25 USD?

I mean is there anything more to this threat than a meme?

One of the few things I've actually liked from Intel. Of course it's not profitable enough.

I hate that "profit" is the driving decision on everything. Does this product have value for our customer? Do our customers like this product. I actually know dozens of folks who enjoy and use NUCs. For hobbies, for work.

One of the most dystopian parts of modern society is that we got co-opted into believing that companies exist to make their owners/investors rich when they should be a vehicle for a group of people (employees) accomplish a goal that's greater than an individual can accomplish. That means it's OKAY to make a decision that results in less profit if it helps to achieve the company's vision!

Providing consumers with budget friendly hobby PC's should be what Intel's mission is. Getting computing accessible, easy to use, compact.

Doesn't provide enough shareholder value 🤢

Edit: Also since this article focuses on Intel competing with OEMS. Why shouldn't the OEMs face competition? Intel introduced this format because OEMs were just shipping the same design and format, rinse and repeat like a money printing device. No innovation. Why? Shareholder value 🤢

Can afford to leave. Stay for family I can't unbrainwash. 😢

I mean I'd imagine the launch is quite a sobering experience. Might actually be a good thing to pre-game to relax a bit considering your strapped to a controlled bomb.

ChatGPT is next level Rubber Duck. Tell it to talk to you like Socrates.
