Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, now they will literally have performance metrics for all employees. Prepare to see non-executive white collar jobs turn into minimum wage slogfests where you’re pruned if even 10% of your time is idle.

Only 10%? earnings must be increasing faster than ever.

So fun. Segregation and rampant racism everywhere.

Some safety equipment encourages accidents.

For bicycles though, can’t really say anything negative about helmets. They save brains.

American Football though? I bet the concussion problem would go away overnight if they took them away. You don’t bash your head against someone unless you think you’re invulnerable thanks to a helmet anyway.

BAH HAMBOG!

I dunno, looks like a Hotdurger to me.

This doesn’t look slave plantation-y enough.

I also can’t find the pointy white hat.

Or is it a charge on a magnetic medium somewhere?

It’s just all weird when you get down to the science.

Makes sense. It takes years to complete construction projects and budgets always overrun. AI is a fad for most companies trying to get into it.

Think about the dotcom bubble. We went from having all of these businesses that shot to the moon for valuation… and then it collapsed. Feels exactly the same. A few will survive to become metas and googles because it is not a worthless technology, but most of them are going to be worthless companies when investors decide it’s time to run.

I’m not sure if I should upvote or downvote.

This is supposed to be wrong answers but…

Corn. 🌽

Pretty much. That age old meme of money/time/energy is spot on, and when you have all the time and energy it sure does feel like the only time that matters is now.

But it’s only one short part of life. If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that I should have been an anesthesiologist. lol

This is just their way of saying they want state sponsored backdoors into all private home networks.

I’d be amazed if they internally do not have objectives to implement the kool aid.

But yeah, of course it’s propaganda. If this bite lands in the right ear of an exec, they can implement this as a metric in their review process.

Oh this will be a fun. “Please spend more of our company money, or else we will think you are not doing your job”

it’s so fucking easy to send bogus requests that use tons of processing time. This is the DUMBEST metric i’ve seen in a long, long time. If an employee of theirs uses 500k worth of processing time now, are they better employees? What if someone manages to spend 10 million worth of tokens? 100 million? Performance metrics should be outcome based instead of “how much money did you spend” lol

There is a very, very short list of games that don’t “just work” in linux at this point.

If your daily gaming is nothing but LoL or twitch competitive shooters and you’ve gotta play whatever the trend is, linux won’t work 100% of the time. In basically any other case, it just works for gaming. If you MUST play some kind of competitive shooter, it’s real easy to have a dual boot setup with windows for that game.

If the competitive shooters you want are supported here, there’s no reason to use windows for gaming. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ - Right now the biggest pain points are probably Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, Fortnite… aka the games where the teenagers tell you how they fucked your mom. Many, many other titles just work, like The Finals, ARC Raiders, Counter-Strike 2, etc.

Even with some games that do not have anti-cheat support, you can still run the game, you just have to join servers setup for linux that effectively do not have anticheat enabled. I think real flesh and blood admins do a better job anyway.

Why do people keep buying this shit?

You don’t have to leave your house. $50 aint much to a lot of people, even those making minimum wage in a lot of cases. People have way more disposable income in this country than they let on, there’s always ways to minimize expenses. Housing costs are probably the biggest costs for me, and that could be split four or five ways if I really wanted to save money (but i’d rather spend thousands of dollars a month to not deal with other people.)

My brother routinely takes a ride share service to mcdonalds with his wife, they eat, then they go back in another rideshare. it’s still cheaper, and the food is always fresh, and the rewards you get from app rewards programs are honestly pretty good when you game the system.

I think between the tip and fees, it would be closer to $18 or so.

The fees are insane, they triple dip the one sided negotiation.

But what if I’m allergic?

They could… you know… just use the back door.
