Ignoring the fact they went from 4 to 8 clients.

You think the 3.2% is on the order of single digits of machines? You think 3.2% market share is 8 people?

Obviously you don’t. It’s 10s of thousands of machines and you exaggerated the actual situation so far it no longer made any sense.

I hate when people respond to a post with a little anecdote that is completely irrelevant to the original post.

God that’s so corporate-coded - instead of fixing your divisions so they are all profitable, just take your two successful divisions and squeeze them like you’re trying to get blood out of a stone.

Except he’s completely wrong because containers work specifically to solve the problem of deploying across different configurations. Valve already figured this out a decade ago with the steam runtime. That’s why I can run a relatively obscure OS like Bazzite and nearly my entire library of AAA just works like it would on any other distro. You can run a container across hundreds of thousands of different configurations, it doesn’t matter.

So why even bother with a game engine? Write your rending from scratch and it’s as free as you want.

But what if we would rather have an engine that’s good?

Yeah but then how do you attract game developers to your engine?

It becomes a chicken and egg problem: consoles won’t support the engine unless there’s a demand for the games, developers won’t make the games unless there is support for consoles.

A lot of teens in the US have jobs; I’ve worked since I was 14. At $10/month that’s like 1 fast food meal, and if you use it as your major chat platform that’s easily worth it for the convenience it offers you. And teens don’t generally have other major bills to pay.

Apple, Google, and Microsoft commit antitrust violations too fast and numerous for the legal systems to keep up.

That and they spy on consumers for the US government so that gives them free passes at a lot of things.

It’s 35m deep - for comparison recreational scuba divers go up to 30m deep and professional scuba divers up to 60m deep.

It will have to be well engineered and difficult to repair compared to a land facility, but nothing compared to like the space station.

Very cool idea, after 25 years there should be significant cost savings overall.

Damn you my go-to password in the 2010’s was “P4nc4kes!”.

I’m been slowly migrating all my computers over to immutable distros, either silverblue or universal blue.

Once you get used to the container paradigm, you can do all your customization and easily copy it over to other machines without fear of breaking anything.

Plus, having automatic updates and knowing that you’ll always boot into a reliable machine, it’s the best.

Once you have distrobox set up with an arch container, you have access to the aur no matter what distro ypu’re running.

Edge does nearly all those things now too. Edge and Vivaldi are both closed source and yet another Chromium under the hood.

I’ll pass ty.

French press is the only way I have to make coffee at home, and I make one every day.

It’s called humor, it’s not supposed to be taken literally.

Nobody else can tell that the end product is any different, but you know you’re different and special and that’s what matters.

Funny that I was just watching Bill Burr on Conan say the same thing about Steve Jobs like 15 years ago. People treat him like he’s Nikola Tesla level inventor, but he’s really just ordering around the nameless/faceless engineers who do the actual invention.

I think collectively we’re getting burned out on hero worship or the lone genius myth. Every advancement is a collective effort.

They actually found a 5-second sleep embedded in the JavaScript, so it’s not the cache.

Also that’s kinda what China does already and it hasn’t really worked to close the wealth gap.

Lemmy probably has a disproportionate number of tech bros who make that or more, but that’s wayyy out of reach at least for most Americans.
