Not including the cuts mentioned here, it looks like meta has reduced the number of employees by about 20% so far compared to last years highest count.

The other have seemingly kept hiring so their staff cuts have not shown in official numbers as far as I can tell. source

Man everyone just hates on Al these days, but I thinks he’s a pretty chill dude despite being a little weird.

If you accelerate fast enough, it exits even faster.

Well, this post is seemingly enjoyable to 34 people, do these people then not matter because of the 70 that don’t like it?

Moderation needs to be done with clear rules upfront so people know what they can and cannot post. Moderating based on downvotes compared to upvotes is a terrible way to moderate because it is horribly inconsistent and unpredictable.

Edit: and people in general have an overwhelming tendency to use downvotes to show disagreement, which is not the same as the post being bad.

I don’t think OPs posts or this comic strip is in violation of any rules for this community, there is really no grounds for banning just because the posts are downvoted a lot.

We call them “Marie hens”

2 weeks isn’t really that old, I don’t see the issue.

No the technical term for those are “Hemiptera”, “true bugs” is the colloquial name.

“Bug” is not a technical term, it is a colloquial word used to describe all kinds of different insects, arachnids etc.

If streaming in 256kbit/s only required 256kbit/s actual connection, your math is correct…in reality it will need higher bandwidth to stream seamlessly at that bitrate.

It would be horridly slow for all those things (well maybe not text-only chats)

400kbit/s excruciatingly slow for even basic things besides web browsingon bloated sites.

IDK, 400kbit/s is pretty close to unusable these days…

Ok so we just have starkly dissimilar experiences, unfortunately for me it has been way more hassle than what you have experienced.

I’ve been using freetube for a little over a year, and I have to change something all the time (like every third time i open the app or something) otherwise videos just throw an error and won’t load. Same goes for my laptop (also freetube). Newpipe and revanced are even worse for me and some I never got working.

No, like fiddling with proxies to find a working one…if only it was just updating then I wouldn’t mind.

You have to frequently do some shenanigans to get things working because shit keeps breaking. I still do it, but it’s honestly annoying AF that i need to tinker with my apps like that all the time.
