"Those layoffs included Lightyear director Angus MacLane, as well as Galyn Susman, the producer who became famous for saving Toy Story 2 after it was accidentally deleted from Disney’s servers."
Fuck that's cold, they fired the person that was essentially responsible for saving Pixar at the time. Way to show gratitude.
Jesus Fucking Christ, this fucking company can pay 13 billion and it still will not do a dent on their TRILLION dollars value. Imagine all that society could benefit if those fucking assholes just paid their share, instead of us having to hear how green and socially conscious these bastards are.
Tech companies are the most disgusting corporations in their sheer greed, right up there with oil corps.
People talking about pixelfed are missing a key point: Cara is super easy to find and join. You go, type your email or login with your google account and that's it. You don't even have to remember a password. Nobody wants to find a server, apply to join, hope to get accepted, then somehow find all other artists like you.
Also, it looks good. Like, really good. That's a thing that grab the attention of artists.
The part that gets me is "cratering bonuses". They canceled projects and ruined people's lives by firing them not because the company was hurting, or in heavy debt, or facing bankruptcy, but because their managers and C-level executives earned a bit less than usual due to poor planing and management.
Corporate America can go fuck themselves with sand.
Reddit is a trove of user built content under the guise of community. What Spez did was to say "thanks for all the free work, suckers!", put a price sticker on it, and laughed all the way to the bank.
~~And this is why I'm not active on any Internet community anymore.~~ Nevermind, I guess I just can't help myself...
Man, they're seething against the EU, totally pissed that the legislators worked against their abuse over developers and rubbed against their cash cow.
Apple is all about money and fucking the user, being no different from Meta or Google. All they have is shinier hardware.
The review was great, and the fact that Apple went it's way to try and do something to be seen as an innovator is awesome, for one reason only: they failed horribly.
Granted, this is the best VR handset that could be done with today's tech, and even then it's bad. There's no use outside niche applications, and too much constraints and trade offs for it to be reliable. We need a huge advance in tech for AR be feasible and socially acceptable.
And you can't even play proper games with this thing.
It reeks of those headlines saying that millenials/gen zs are "losing interest in buying cars and houses".
Motherfucker, interest has nothing to do with it. We can't afford it!
Of course let's take a platform that barely holds itself together to show just text and let's pivot it to be the most technical demanding and expensive kind of service. It will work fine, I'm sure.
If Apple doubts the security and privacy of our app, we’re willing to share the entire Beeper Mini codebase with a mutually agreed upon 3rd party security research firm.
What a beautiful way to call out Apple's bs.
I would love a Bluetooth keyboard cover like that for my s22
