I think they absolutely know how willing their employees are to quit. It’s been demonstrated over and over again in the tech industry for the last couple years. It is far more likely that they’re counting on it, than are somehow all being blindsided by it. Suggesting that the latter is the case would be a… wild and practically unbelievable assertion to make.

Every update always has an impact on your battery life. An iPhone’s battery life is highly dependent on software tricks and background management systems that sleep and terminate processes without you knowing, based on the app and your usage of it. Updates throw a lot of “known” information out of wack and it takes awhile for your phone to sort it out again. This is not even counting the fact that there might just be bugs causing apps to use more battery than they should be when you’re using beta versions of iOS.

Realistically there’s AWS and Azure, and with Azure being run by Microsoft it’s not like it’s going to be better in anyone’s minds. Google’s is a VERY distant third with no real shot to take over, and everything else is a rounding error.

Oh I fully understand it, which evidently you don’t or you’d understand why that has nothing to do with the absence of climate change. You could try educating yourself but… you won’t. If you did that, you’d lose your what in mind is an anti-climate change silver bullet and then you’d have to spend even more energy finding another one.

What I have isn’t an opinion it’s just an object fact, so you should just bend yourself.

You fundamentally do not understand how big tech companies operate if you think they can afford to hemmorage engineering talent without impacting their bottom line in a multitude of ways.

Evidently Amazon doesn’t either then since, you know, they’re literally doing it. I guess you know something Amazon doesn’t.

That’s assuming the real talent wasn’t secretly given exception to this. And in any case, what’s important isn’t having the best talent, it’s making the numbers look better for end of year. Amazon has become too big to fail, they don’t need top talent to deliver a superior customer experience. Anyone reliant on cloud offerings is stuck. Employees get laid off, prices go up, product gets worse, who cares. People are paying. Thats the stage of capitalism they’re in.

To literally no one’s surprise, least of all the leadership at Amazon. No unemployment when you quit.

El Niño / La Niña are terms that the uneducated just learned about but pretend have always been common knowledge only because it’s something to desperately grasp into to “explain away” climate change.

It’s no different from the logic behind the same people who say “Climate change can’t be real, it was cold out today!”

Did invidious find a way around Google’s blocking? I remember a headline a week or so ago that Google had managed to completely block them.

Not at all. It’s a factory building game. 3D Factorio if you will.

I mean that’s not hard to do, Vance is at least vaguely human shaped.

Fun game, if not a little on the easy side. Beat Ante 8 on my second run. There is an endless mode thankfully.

I don’t think they’re doing that.

Not putting your WiFi password in would absolutely be reliable. I’d love to hear your ideas on how they’d remotely break into your WiFi Network

Yes, with the money he’d earn off the money he borrowed. This is why taxing unrealized gains is a national conversation. “It’s not money until you sell it” but you can borrow it like it’s money and make actual other money with it likes it’s money.

What it really comes down to is that this type of “safe” game design where you rehash the same game over and over again for 20 years thing used to make a shitload of money, that’s why they all do it, and now it doesn’t. Or at least, they’re discovering that there’s a mathematical maximum amount of times you can rehash something without innovating. And not doing that is too huge a pivot for a huge lumbering company like Ubsioft to make on a reasonable timescale.

This is what’s supposed to happen though. When not enough people buy games to make them profitable, the games have to change, or Ubisoft goes under. Either is fine.

No I mean me, the other people who’ve corrected you, the people who’ve downvoted you, and everyone else.

Well it is, it just doesn’t go out and do all the caching for you ahead of time, instead it’s on demand. You are right that as far as pre populated alternatives go, it’s just archive.org now.

Yes linguistically that’s what the those two words mean.

But in the context of a messaging app, “Multi device” becomes one singular term with a set meaning agreed upon by everybody but you, that you’re trying desperately to change by deconstructing the words it’s composed of in order to misrepresent something that you evidently like a whole lot.

If you’re looking for a replacement, there are a lot of similar apps out there you can host yourself (And therefore can’t be killed) or pay a fee to have hosted for you.
