Wen Google had to drop literally “don’t be evil”, something I would assume is supposed to be a given, I lost hope for all corporations.

absolutely just another lame-ass troll attempt trying to bait people. Proud here on Lemmy we’re (mostly) just like “gtfo bro”

They always claim it’s AI. In my experience they want to sell, and their operations budget just got halved so they look extremely profitable.

Because fuck those people’s livelihood, there’s money to be made!

Also why you should never trust private equity. Because they’ll buy this company, come in, realize what just happened, and their solution will be to… cut more people and pawn the company off on yet another firm.

They keep forgetting this, Xbox thought it too. We are with our digital libraries, I’m not going to go buy a PS5 because of one game. The hardware is only the portal.

Ah so they found a way to treat their employees even worse! Great

Some choice comments from the YT thread:

Louis, even just one person submitting a complaint to the Grievance Committee of the NYC Bar with even paltry evidence, not the cavalcade you detailed, will end up having a proctological experience. As well it should. I’m speaking from experience (not me, someone I worked with, and she was simply of counsel, and did about 15 hours of work on a multi year case). The lead attorney crushed the lies in the bullshit grievance, but still took dozens of hours of work to defend. If the fact pattern you cite is accurate (as seems evident), and all of this is in writing, this sack of excrement attorney is going to be in a world of well deserved hurt.

It’s genuinely surreal to see a real life person being to cartoonishly evil and so openly as well. He’s like every stereotype about lawyers rolled into one person. Bury this guy’s career under the courthouse!

I’m usually on the fence about Louis, but he’s doing good work here.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the agency said such laws would “disrupt global data flows, increase costs and cybersecurity risks, limit Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud services, and expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship.”

• disrupt global data flows - good
• increase costs and cybersecurity risks - not sure how owning their own data is a risk
• limit Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud services - good, and kind of goes against #2
• expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship - ironic

Now that I didn’t know, and explains a lot. That seems like either a very smart deal by marvel, and/or a very stupid deal by sony

AGAIN? In my lifetime now I have seen… god how many 4 separate spiderman reboots? This is literally the definition of insanity. Take. The hint. Sony, we are tired of superheroes. They’re fun, but god can you give it 2 years without doing a spiderman film?

Someone around the world would pick up the mantle, there are thousands of ctontributors. The point is that the code isn’t lost in the blink of an eye.

Clone and fork now folks

In the Midwest of the states it kills me. Hey here is the most fertile land ON THE PLANET and were just going to pave over it, add shitty suburban sprawl that will be bankrupt in 30 years, and kill the soil while we’re at it. So goddamn wasteful.

I agree with you, absolutely right, but also

"I’m walking to the store honey, I’ll be back in 90 minutes!

Consistently crappy theaters, other customers who don’t care about the movie, on their phones and talking, and staff that are both not paid enough and told not to deal with those problems.

All of that for now 20 per ticket, double that if you want snacks. My local indie house shows movies with none of those problems.

Anyone who thinks Xbox is still going to be worth anything is a fool. They overspent on gaming studios, didn’t produce anything of value, gamepass value went down, and now everyone hates them for the constant enshittification. Even stepping back from “This is lemmy and we all hate microsoft” they have done some horrible business moves with Xbox. I don’t know anyone who is positive about the brand. They have ran it firmly into the ground.

I wonder if this is a huge demotion for the AI guy. AI teams in Microsoft are “good” right now, I wonder if he fucked up in some way and they put him on xbox.

Hey don’t discount them that much, they also can’t make games either. They’re going for full on business-only approach, consumers are not a priority for them at all anymore.

And they want us to stay hyped about games. I refuse to believe any marketing garbage because I know now they’re just measuring hype to determine if they should keep making things. That is not a long term strategy

Vertical Integration is the term. And it should definitely be outlawed

it’s not entirely clear if the HDMI Forum can (or will be able to) block people going with a trial and error approach to getting more modern HDMI features working in the open source drivers

Hey this is our monopoly! You can’t just come in here and use your brain to bypass our arbitrary rules!
