Lots and lots of others have laid off. Presumably some better companied have added jobs in the meantime.

Thats been my experience as well.

On SO it seems much more likely that the answers answering a different question have a negative score.

I never once actually asked a question there. Partly because most of the time, the question I was asking had always been asked.

However, I have found the correct answer to 100s of questions there. Usually through google/ddg/kagi searches.

This is interesting because a huge amount of AI “knowledge” comes from stack exchange.

Now I’ll go read the other comments and article to see if that’s already been mentioned :)

Best?

That dossn’t seem like “one path” if it’s almost the exact opposite of what they were saying.

KDE Neon here. I really really like it.

I keep starting to set up nextcloud (or something) for files, but then wondering why I wouldnt just use NFS/SMB.

Good.

It can be both!

Still there

It needs access to the file system. But why would it need access to the whole thing? Just download to its own storage, no? Then use something else to copy elsewhere.

Unless this is to support saving to any folder, or built in smb support or something.

Wait, why would libretorrent require all files access?

ok but your comment isn’t related to this particular case

Because they weren’t selling 3000 a day. They were selling a huge number a minute, one day (maybe a couple).

sit on them until the stock gets like a 1-day 5% drop so they can misrepresent the situation

ok, but that didn’t happen here

It’s not fun from the inside (not Google).

Side-thing, but man am I very happy with Neon and where KDE is overall.

Finally went to Linux Desktop as my main, after trying off and on for 20 years.

Yeah those early ones - and the one I’m thinking of was like the first big-screen flatpanel they sold, sometime in the late 90s - were extra extra bad about power.

In theory, it would allow them to reduce costs to compete better with rivals and sell more.

But usually it’s the thing you said. Capitalism fundamentals are pretty broken in most markets.
