Unity Software to lay off 1,800 employees as part of a corporate restructuring
  • You are correct in that numbers leading into Covid rose dramatically and started to fall off over the last, I wanna say, year and a half or so. Still larger than before. I do not have anything against hiring and firing on a by need basis. However, I do think that's gone too far in this instance. When you have 15-20k people being let go at multiple organizations, there's something wrong with the decision process in the first place imo.

  • Unity Software to lay off 1,800 employees as part of a corporate restructuring
  • In a state where corporatism dominates everything and the reins are minimal. We allow corporate A to get away with more than we deem appropriate for the sake of preserving the bottom line. This gives them leverage to do it again and again or to intensify. It also showcases to corporation B that this abuse is at an apparent acceptable threshold, with room to probably get away with a bit more. It's an abusive cycle that will continue to demolish the well being of more and more people until proper reins are put in place.

  • Steve Balmer quotes
  • I highly doubt that. They are open-sourcing a small suite because it is economical to do so. Closed source means constantly having to re-train newcomers. Normalizing VsCode and friends will go a long ways. Same thing Google did with their IT certs.

  • Offering solutions is annoying
  • Fair, but let's be honest, most of the time a partner may not want to hear about a solution because they first want compassion and understanding. Be willing to listen, and your partner will talk about a solution when they are ready.

  • Tax time
  • I'm aware of this. This is the first time I'm aware they managed to get a pilot system and I think that shows great promise. Also, people are noticing more and more, and pushing back.

  • Cryptocurrency's popularity in the U.S. tied to conservative moral foundations
  • Bitcoin is not the only currency. I'm not saying faster transactions are active, but that is a goal for some currencies no? Wasn't aware if that first Europe. What about settle time then? That is, time it takes to verify a major transaction is legit?

  • Newsom signs bill to make California first state in nation to ban "toxic" food additives
  • Isn't this standard procedure for blogs/journalism? I thought the quotes are used to imply a term is not being used because the author thinks it's true, but rather to indicate that that's what the topic is centered on.

  • There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.
  • Then you'd have a windows based steam deck. Valve got themselves into the mobile market by doing this. I imagine the Linux ecosystem will prove better for continuing mobile gaming in the long run.

    Also, there are multiple scripts for HL3 and Portal3. They have all been rejected, considered not up to par as a third game in each series.
