I Cast Fist

At least you can blame yourself for your own shitty code, which hopefully will never attempt to “accidentally” erase the entire project

“You are correct, I did it wrong the other time! This time I’ll give you the correct code!”
<code that is wrong elsewhere>

It’s really weird how getting old nowadays means “I know how to do this shit FOR FREE” for so many computer related things. Give me 1h and I’ll handpick 60+ images to rotate as wallpapers.

Why didn’t he ask MS-AI, or GPT or whatever the fuck, why people aren’t impressed? I’m sure the answer is exactly what he’s looking for

Can’t be worse than the shitshow he’s doing

He’s afraid he’ll have to open his golden parachute before he can finish setting up his yacht flotilla

Yeah, nothing says “this person will repay their loans” like looking at their face and nothing fucking else.

I love how you can just call it capetalismo in portuguese, capeta = devil

Better title:

Passkeys: still trying to explain why it’s worth the hassle when it isn’t

muskrat loves his x-rated shit publicly visible to everyone

his fund, Scion Asset Management, bought $187.6 million in puts on Nvidia and $912 million in puts on Palantir (…) Palantir’s market cap is also up over 150 percent year-to-date. Its current valuation is upwards of 200 times its forward earnings, spreading fears that it may be grossly overvalued.

He knows which one is more likely to get really fucked in this bubble and it’s not the shovel seller

Burry similarly made a long-term $1 billion bet from 2005 onwards against the US mortgage market, anticipating its collapse.

Can we assume his puts aren’t for 2026, but at least 2028 or later?

As CNN points out, Burry’s track record isn’t perfect. For instance, he called in January 2023 to “sell” in a now infamous tweet

Something something irrational solvent something

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “The two companies he’s shorting are the ones making all the money,”

One of the companies is making all the money and it’s not Palantir.

Tangent: Jami is p2p, so the only risk of going offline is if everyone in the groups go offline. It does lack several quality of life features, though.

It’s Xiaomi, of course the app will not work without internet access

So you’re telling me M$ will kill the xbox division for good?

An Xbox spokesperson said in a statement that they take a long-term view of their business and that success “doesn’t look the same across every project or priority.” - “We look at the business as a whole, balancing creativity, innovation, and sustainability across a diverse portfolio of offerings,” the spokesperson said.

HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh my fucking god, these corporate stooges

To account for the lost sales, Xbox offers its developers a credit, which it calls “member-weighted value” and is calculated based on several factors, such as the number of hours that Game Pass players collectively spend on a particular title. The opaque formula seems to favor games in which players can spend the most amount of hours, such as online multiplayer titles, according to people familiar with the calculations.

Interesting, that explains why some studios are getting fucked out of that deal

In July, Hood said on a call with investors that operating income in the Xbox division rose 34% for the quarter that ended in June due to “continued prioritization of higher margin opportunities.” The company is due to report earnings again on Oct. 29.

I’m sure M$ can keep cancelling projects and firing people ad infinitum to ensure a continual rise of operating income /s

Let’s be real, a lot of people got in in the hopes of appeasing “the market”. What “the market” wanted, and still wants, is an excess of qualified people, so they can more easily pick, choose and abuse the workers. This has been the case for ages.

Hope everyone has updated their resumes already

Stay on 10 and force M$ to give further updates because of sheer popularity, just like they had to with XP

But chatgpt won’t berate the serfs and call them moochers, all while bragging about how hard he worked to get in the top position all by himself without anyone’s help whatsoever!

More importantly, it doesn’t bundle fucking chrome

Shit, my GPU is about to melt!

Wired can suck a dick for that shitty comparison
