Crowdfucking.

Looks like lemmy.ml voters didn't like that remark. Poor tankies, truth hurts them more than most.

Racial slurs and epithets seem to be fine, talk about killing rich people though and you get banned real fast.

I mean, some people called this back in fucking 2012, but the dreamers bought into his vision. He's always been real great about vision and lofty ambitions, but shit on execution. He sells dreams, but doesn't know how to finish anything. Every project he was attached to that executed on deliverables, was due to control being outside of his purview and accountability enforced.

Clearly added for emphasis, crucial instructions, we might mistake for other instructions in the picture.

I miss the Dilbert cartoons.

Tech fads. They never get hyped 🙄

cough AI cough

This new Boeing is not the same as the Boeing that America stood on. If this new Boeing is swept away and we lose American dominance in Aerospace, it's something I can live with perfectly fine. There's no patriotism in corporate success, let it all burn down. We've faced this before in the first gilded age, if we come out of the second gilded age, we'll be a better country for it.

One of the things missing from other comments is the architecture of it, why it use to be slow, and how the binaries were handled. Canonical started Snap as a server oriented application deployment system, that has been adapted to desktop use with some technological debt. The differences between it and Flatpak as far as configurability, dependencies, bundled binaries, etc are somewhat nuanced. They dealt with the application speed opening issue by allowing decompressed executables and different hooks to be used.

The other main point of contention aside from technological debt inherited by a server-first development principle is how they closed sourced their Snap server backend. It's proprietary, while the Snap client is open source, how the actual Snap server runs is a mystery.

Flatpak (and by extension Flathub) are all open sourced, which aligns more with the philosophy that users tend to prefer. It was covered in other comments that everyone else uses Flatpak, and this really isn't so much as a debate between package managers vs Flatpak, but moreso of application deployment overall. The community prefers Flatpak, and Snap is pushed as a means of lock-in and sunk cost fallacy on the side of Canonical.

No, it's not Bateman, that's Batman.

Heh, log

I couldn't agree more, fuck em. I'll take the authenticity over corporate drone any day. Besides that, the real issue is that higher level managers want what's comfortable for them during uncomfortable times. Hustle culture is dead, and they can just shut down the business. A great customer experience comes from a great employee experience.

Paywall, here's a specific excerpt when you get past the clickbait bullshit:

So where is it going wrong for fresh-faced graduates?

Employers’ gripe with young people today is their lack of motivation or initiative—50% of the leaders surveyed cited that as the reason why things didn’t work out with their new hire.

Bosses also pointed to Gen Z being unprofessional, unorganized, and having poor communication skills as their top reasons for having to sack grads.

Leaders say they have struggled with the latest generation’s tangible challenges, including being late to work and meetings often, not wearing office-appropriate clothing, and using language appropriate for the workspace.

Now more than half of hiring managers have come to the conclusion that college grads are unprepared for the world of work. Meanwhile, over 20% say they can’t handle the workload.

In reality, colleges know that their students are wholly unprepared for the workforce, and some have started stepping up to fill the gap.

For example, Michigan State University is teaching students how to handle a networking conversation, including how to look for signs that the other party is starting to get bored and that it’s time to move on.

Meanwhile, a high school in London is trialing a 12-hour school day to prepare pupils for adult life.

Want to be more hirable? Attitude is everything When asked what would make college grads more hirable, bosses responded: a positive attitude and more initiative.

Intelligent’s chief education and career development advisor, Huy Nguyen, advises Gen Z grads to observe how other workers interact to understand the company culture at any new firm they may join. From there, it’s easier to gauge what’s an appropriate way of engaging with others.

“Take the initiative to ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, and apply it to show your motivation for personal growth,” Nguyen adds. “Build a reputation for dependability by maintaining a positive attitude, meeting deadlines, and volunteering for projects, even those outside your immediate responsibilities.”

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy recently echoed that an “embarrassing” amount of your success in your twenties depends on your attitude—and the reason why is simple: Managers would rather work with positive people.

Some leaders have even insisted that a can-do attitude at work will advance young workers’ careers more than a college degree.

Richard Branson, the billionaire founder of Virgin, has repeatedly urged young people to ditch university in favor of the “school of life.”

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently claimed that raw talent and personality trump credentials.

To that end, Cisco’s top executive in the U.K., David Meads, dropped out of school at 16 years old. He told Fortune that “attitude and aptitude are more important than whatever letters you have after your name, or whatever qualifications you’ve got on a sheet.”

I didn't even get past the mid point of the story, game's too boring and the loading screens are too ass.

I just want to see Nintendo go after all the Rule34 stuff. It might be the one thing that could exhaust their resources.

A delay or a layoff, or both!

About the same time we get Steam with Wayland support:

"When the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves."

Just to further add, stock buybacks were considered "stock market manipulation" for a reason. Though the rules were put in place to protect investors, not the rest of us. This still has created a situation that most of us would agree on the framework conflicting with the concept of public trust. That being the concentration of wealth at the top and the SEC's rules having been changed in 1982 through the efforts of lobbyists over the years. Were the SEC's rules about securities, and the FTC to return to accountability exempt from lobbied interests, exactly what you just described would be flipped on its head, as we'd be having conversations about the Public Trust and anti-trust instead of bullshit about how the Fed does stuff that benefits wealthy vs fucking over the 98% of US citizens.
