All post-COVID tech companies in a nutshell.
AI seems to be getting used as the latest way to keep VCs still interested in a world of higher interest rates and otherwise tighter corporate spending.

It's just a shame that some of the biggest of those issues appear to be fundamental game mechanics.
I think that's kind of a shame.
I don't care for Ubisofts bland and lazy open world design formula, but SW:O appears to not do a lot of the usual open world BS that they're known for.
I only get this from Skillup's review and he had a host of problems with gameplay, but I also got the sense that this is a game that will be remembered fondly by a subset of the star wars fandom.
Hopefully the lesson that Ubi learns isn't "see, we should stick with what works. Another generic open world Assassins Creed RPG-Lite".
Pivoting into NFTs didn't help.
Oh for sure, I'm not a "This is the year of the Linux desktop" kind of person. The average person probably doesn't care about privacy/software freedom enough, but I don't think think it is at all insurmountable for a normal person to transition to the simpler distros if they begin to care about those things.
It almost seems like Linux Mint is the default recommend now which is better. I had a kind of buggy time with Pop OS, due to the amount of unsupported extensions you need to run to have some customisability.
OpenSUSE TW with KDE has been the best experience for me in the end.
Omg it really feels like that sometimes.
The youtubers who paint Linux as extremely unstable/not appropriate for gaming almost come across as sponsored by Microsoft. (Not to mention the overemphasis of the ubiquity of adobe suite users i.e. confirmation bias)
Because the C suite can blame market forces, not the product.
The layoffs aren't about "removing bad eggs", it's about cost cutting.
Decision makers aren't going to fire themselves of course, even if they should for steering the ship into this situation.
I disagree, as a Firefox mobile daily driver I will confirm it has extensions. Dark mode reader and ublock origin, does one need anything else?
That's true, but I'd imagine running a site like twitter actively costs money. If advertisers aren't paying, who is? Do they go to their investors and ask for money? For how long could Elon personally afford to run Twitter with all of its development costs?
I wonder where they trained the AI model to answer such a question lol.
