I mean, realistically it’ll juice the stock in the short term until things catch up to them in 6 to 12 months.

Yeah, there’s going to be hilariously bad outages at AWS within like a year.
It’s like reverse stack ranking. They’ll be left with the people that couldn’t find another job.
I actually check Twitter from time to time and it is slowly dying. Ken Klippenstein was one of the accounts I was following and now he’s gone too.
If someone were to buy it, ban the Nazis and get advertisers to come back it’s still salvageable, I guess. The longer Musk owns it, the bigger the chance is that it’ll become the next MySpace.
I think there’s a bit of a sea change in business generally where arbitration ended up being worse for corporations if too many customers/employees used that option because it meant paying a bunch of money for each case instead of dealing with one class action suit.
While the arbitration courts themselves are generally biased to corporate interests, it’s not enough of a thumb on the scale to make up for the huge downside.
He backed down when Brazil blocked him. If Apple and Google decided to threaten to delist Twitter, he’ll back down.
Yeah, that was a cash cow for a few years and now everybody has their phone on vibrate.
I mean, it’s the smart thing to do (even from a purely selfish perspective where you want to make sure the project continues to go into the development direction that keeps making you money), but it’s not something that’s actionable in court or anything like that.
There’s no expectation to contribute back when you use FOSS software, that makes no sense. I’m running Linux on like 10 devices and I’ve never merged anything in the kernel.
Yeah, but the trick is to form that crater away from your launchpad.
Maybe Russian hackers got into Boeing’s servers and copied their plans.
It’s just ridiculous the stuff you see that should be easy to catch with basic server checks (even if you were to run them after the fact). Players conjuring money and vehicles out of thin air, moving impossibly fast, vehicles/players with seemingly unlimited hit points, etc. You could easily catch that shit on the server side and ban the cheaters, but instead they go for the most invasive client side shit.
Sure, if you want to stamp out stuff like aim bots and whatever eventually you’ll need to look at the client side of things, but in a decade they didn’t seem to do anything at all.
Eh, I was playing it on steam deck, GTA online was just not worth it with all the cheating anyway.
What I don’t get is why they went with the most invasive kernel level stuff instead of doing even the most basic server side checks to check for users doing physically impossible stuff.
Yeah, I’m actually supportive of some kind of anti cheat on GTA online, because with all the cheating it’s just unplayable. Unfortunately I was playing on steam deck so I haven’t been able to play it since. Presumably it can be supported relatively easy so I hope they fix that issue.
Steam itself doesn’t run the games, right? Couldn’t they easily build a small 32 bit launcher for the older games that need it?
Earnings is different from profits.
Isn’t that basically the point of the extension? Making sure you’re not tricked into watching BS content?
This might actually be one of the few things AI could be used for. ChatGPT could download the transcript and just build a short summary.
Although chances are you’re just replacing one shitty thing with a different shitty thing.
I assume SEO spam/misleading ads?
Stuff that could probably be better done by vetting advertisers and improving the search algorithm.
