Windows 10 reset a lot of UI from 8 to 7 that a lot of users wanted. Some changes were added, but the muscle memory learned since 95 could be used with little modification. Windows 11 broke a lot of those workflows without providing anything better on the higher end of usability.

I agree that 10 started adding things that people don’t like about 11, but 11 actively broke things that people liked about 10.

It is probably one of the largest criticisms of MORENA that the government has consistently given so much power to the military that should be civilian controlled.

Well, that’s been Chinese industrial policy for decades. The main issue right now is that there isn’t enough demand for the total international manufacturing capacity and China’s over investment is causing major economic and political issues for other developed countries.

Washington had to put down a potential mutiny of Revolutionary troops due to pay. Washington was able to do that due to grativas and the troops respecting him.

Taylor Swift is also one of the top pop artists of all time.

It is also important to note that Taylor Swift has a very different relationship to her marketing department compared with other artists.

Most artists have agreements with existing agencies and may not have full control over their work. Taylor Swift, in contrast, built a marketing group with the some focus on marketing her. Taylor controls her marketing team entirely, and with that control comes responsibility.

I imagine that hexbear and .ml try to actively engage in Chinese circles while .world leaves then alone and is too small to care about.

So who’s going to be the new Green Boots?

Eh. I look at the Taliban more as local self-determination. Those with political power in these small towns don’t want anything that can jeopardize their power and control.

Except the economics for it are trash. Google uses Android as a loss leader to make money on Google’s services.

Probably.

1. One of the two major employers of programmers, tech companies, have significantly curtailed future development of their products as the cost/benefit ratio isn’t worth it. That isn’t projected to change in the near future.

2. Companies that have full WFH are no longer constrained by office location in hunting for talent. A Bay Area programmer now has to compete with someone in Tulsa or Mexico City, which have far lower costs of living.

3. AI slop will probably get good enough to do basic tasks. So, companies who only need a little programming talent may be able to get by on shitty AI code instead of hiring a second or third developer.

The powermods arent bringing anything unique moderation except a network that allows them to control content for a specific audience.

It depends who. There are some that build tools and procedures for handling large forums. They may also share best practices across different subs.

As for controlling content, it isn’t like a corporation or political group can’t create 20 accounts and take over subs. That’s already happened on Reddit.

Its overall a good thing but the powermods will be replaced with reddit admins doing the ame

Or sock puppet accounts. Banning the current set of mods without a plan on who replaces them doesn’t fix the problem.

The problem with powermod isn’t that they exist, though. Moderation of a large sub is still done by volunteers that have had to hack solutions together because they don’t get a lot of support from Reddit. It helps Reddit to have experienced mods overseeing several subs because they bring with them experience on how to handle high profile and large scale moderation efforts. They are a technical talent pool that Reddit relies upon a lot.

The problem is that Reddit has shitty mod governance. It still uses rank by add date and offers no ability for users to kick a mod out except for TOS faults. Reddit doesn’t want to fix mod governance issues because it creates a legitimate mod power structure and Reddit doesn’t want to give that much power to users, including mods.

That said, Reddit’s shitty mod governance was copied directly to Lemmy.

There was a guy who owned a car windshield replacement company who would give away free dinners or diamond necklaces if you hired his company to replace your car’s windshield.

He was found dead with two strippers/hookers, one of either sex, some cash, and one of the diamond necklaces his company would give out.

Harry was always the spare, so it was highly unlikely he would ever get the throne.

Sure thing, Rick from Empire Glass.

Which of their product lines could turn dev time into money?

Which makes it work really well for stealth layoffs. If you don’t have a manager willing to bend the rules for you, you either have to show up or the company has a reason for firing you.

And if you do have a manager willing to bend the rules for you, they now have the ability to recind that offer if performance drops.

It is easier to hire a billing specialist instead of a nurse.

There are a lot of positions out there that, due to education and experience requirements, the industry can’t fill.

He probably likes being famous.
