If anything, I see this as Microsoft trying to kill what the Steam Deck can become.

Right now, the Steam Deck is one of the best selling Linux computers. You are also starting to see other manufacturers look at the Steam Deck and compete against it in hardware while using Valve's free software. From that, it isn't much of a jump to putting Valve's Linux stack in desktops and laptops.

A lot of festivals in the US had problems with heat stroke in the late 90's and early 2000's. The two solutions were to either give out free water or allow people to bring in their own water.

The festival organizers generally chose supplying free water.

I've been to festivals that did, but they were very specific on the kind of bottle. The festival was also in the desert, so there tons of protections the venue took to prevent heat stroke.

Naw, Copilot is loving the free technical data in the form of "AI and user created articles".

4K came out in 2012 and 8K just isn't that popular, in part due to content issues but also people's eyesight. If you don't need a new TV now, why would you buy an upgrade?

Um, actually, in the books, the Spacing Guild Navigators use the spice only to gain prescience into the future as a way to steer the ships while undergoing FTL travel. This can't be done with a computer or droid like in Star Wars because thinking machines are illegal.

Why buy a company that can't make money and intentionally kills decent revenue streams?

I mention a new tech stack because Beehaw brought it up as an option and a lot of people have commented on the difficulty of development in this environment.

So this means you can misgender them back, right?

Based on what I've seen on the public facing part of the developer side, I get the feeling this isn't the kind of group that can build the kind of organization required to make this sustainable in the long run.

I'm just waiting for when Beehaw releases that they've given up on Lemmy and have created a new tech stack.

Crabs in a bucket makes sense for the staff, but not the management. Management should be judging with outputs in mind.

Sounds like shitty management.
