"Man we really got trounced in that election "

“Yeah we should really work on our image”

“Yeah. Oh I know! You know how everyone hated that tik tok ban?”

“Yeah?”

“Well what if that, but more!”

“But people hated the ban…”

“Oh right, no, the movie industry is paying us to do this.”

“Oh why didn’t you just say so.”

This keeps getting better! Tell me more!

Nuclear though, never had a problem with excess heat at one of those. /s

Not a lawyer and haven’t seen the lawsuit but I’ve watched a lot of legal eagle and other lawyers and I suspect it’s not about them manipulating codes. I also doubt this is the sort of case trying to set a precedent in any legal sense.

Likely it’s just boring fraud because they deceived content creators and users with lies to make money.

A different company doing the same thing but being honest might be unethical and terrible but probably wouldn’t be sued.

It’s funny because it’s true.

But also av1 is open and widely available and based on Google’s vp9 so… Maybe it will work out.

Isn’t that the one we learn Wesley can warp travel with his mind?

All you have to do is use powershell. maybe the worst shell ever created. Though some of these AI enabled shells have me second guessing that opinion.

That doesn’t exist in the mobile nightly.

But honestly that’s no problem and I hadn’t noticed because I just pin things to the new tab window.

Read the headline and thought “there’s a catch…”

Finally got around to reading the post and Microsoft is very politely saying “we’ve completed stealing their shit now. Don’t know why anyone would want it, use ours now. You can have it though.”

Thanks I guess? I’m glad it’s out of their hands now and with an open source group that cares and can make a difference.

You think it’ll take that long? Seems optimistic.

Misread the summary to say data driven delusions and that seems accurate.

Being as this is very similar to the apple epic legal fight that epic lost earlier this year, I doubt apple will make a deal. My understanding is that patreon can cave, choose to pay 27% commission, or make their own store.

Though skimming the news around epic’s attempts to make a store, you “can” make a store in compliance with EU and UK laws, but apple made it kinda impossible to actually do and epic is fighting it in court again?

So patreon seems to have read the lay of things and said I guess we just have to make the best of a shitty situation and communicate everything to try to limit the pain.

It’s almost like apple feels like they have the power to do whatever they want because they’ve created a market where they don’t have competition…

Surprised consultants are pushing the latest fad? No it’s what businesses want to hear.

Concerned they’re pushing the bubble? No more than the rest of it.

Worried a machine will be lying to me about timelines instead of a person? That’s innovation for you I guess.

Don’t think half the comments understand what the Chromecast is…

Interested in finding out more about fcast now though.

And a lot of science libraries.

I mean, Fortran isn’t even dead. It was updated last year. Weird but it’s still a used language.

People that lived through getting kicked off XP are like “w11 interface is fine. I’ve been through worse”

Using my decades of experience in how programming and compilers works and the fact Mozilla has used it to great effect and how it is being used for parts of the Linux kernel… Yeah just a general statement it doesn’t make any sense.

Maybe they aren’t effective at designing software with the paradigms of the language or they don’t like it but the given explanation doesn’t track.

The web being too object oriented for rust? Assuming that made sense, who wrote the dang language? If that’s true I’m even less confident they know what they’re doing then I was before.

Right?
