First, Epic, now Oracle.
I’m never gonna get another job in software, am I?
Edit: I physically let out a cry of pain after reading possibly 10,000 engineers of varying seniority had been fired (incident was reported on LinkedIn and judged based on the dip in Oracle’s internal Slack membership count).
Yeah, I should just start trying to move into a new field, huh.
…why not just “magister” and avoid a word that already has very strong, current connotations with fantasy?
Was this fucker on Epstein’s island or something? Why is he gargling sack, and why has no one told him it’s a bad idea to do it to Israel?
How does that sqaure away with FOSS?
This is a terrible take, as most content creators I watch already cannot survive off of Youtube ad revenue and rely on third-party monetization, like Patreon subscriptions.
Besides the fact that plenty of people make content for free, from the simple love of creating something.
She prompted it and I accepted because what are you going to do? Stay in a one-sided relationship?
Honestly, it was the right call even if I immediately went into emotional triage to figure out when I had fucked up.
These people are flooding free projects with shite code: they lack that level of self-awareness.
But you believe a formal declaration that they don’t want AI crap code will stop complaints from the degenerates who then try to sneak it in? Or the people who complain that they’re “needlessly denying good code”? People will always complain and argue.
I’m not awake enough (nor qualified enough) to get into “laws” and what they’re “actually for” but sufficed to say that I don’t think the analogy applies to a curated resource. Sure, it’s free but it does have an owner and you can’t stop the owner from doing what they want with it, including unilaterally canning random contributions. You just fork it.
Is all AI code tagged “hey, Claude made this puddle of piss code”?
This is a real “just catch all the criminals” type comment.
A system that benefits people who lie about objective facts should be destroyed.
If the tactical business decision is to look someone in the face and say “spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours, idly gazing at photos of anything is not an addiction” in order to protect business interests, then things are wrong. Addiction to a product should be met with horror! Oh no, how could this happen? Instead, it’s part of the business model.
“Business” is a blight.
Clear, and also extremely lazy, attempt to do malicious compliance of file release. These files didn’t start as .pdfs. To me, this seems like they were renamed to make it seem like there was nothing to see to the casual and tech-illiterate observer.
I mean, there’s literally a job title called “investor”,
Why are we acting like investors are a good thing now? The platonic ideal of “an investor”, someone who seeds money and hovers hands-off to watch the investment grow, has been dead so long you could be forgiven for thinking it never even existed.
Maybe they don’t want a single revenue source to present undue influence on development. If their revenue is entirely supported by their premium model and they make a decision bad for the community, money dries up. You think Discord would be doing dumb shit like it is, if they weren’t floating off investors and whatever Palantir is throwing at them?
Of all the things to complain about, the fact that people can pay to have an animated avatar or screenshare in 4K (a resolution that a super-minority of people even have a monitor capable of rendering at) is baffling.
You need to define “social media” because earlier you named “email” and “zoom” as examples of social media, which sounds entirely wrong. Is talking to people face to face social media too? Have you just conflated “social media” with “communication”?
And then you say social helped researchers communicate when working on cures? You want to posit that Facebook or Twitter or Snapchat were vital pathways of communication for virologists collaborating on vaccines?
What if they say it’s lemonade instead?
Holy fuck, this is insane.
Yo, where can I get me a pope sword?
Do you…think Hisense is in charge of releasing those? Or TechRadar?
