I used to like MSN and even Skype. Skype felt like it degraded under MS. They seem to buy stuff and the product stagnates or regresses. Either they crush innovation or cut funding and try and milk profits. I suspect a lot is integration of Active Directory etc so they can bundle up, sell to orgs and lock them into their shitty ecosystem.

Nonsense. Slack was far superior, though not touched it since it was bought out.

The measley non Google portion of revenue is 81m dollar. If you pay a top dev 200k, you could pay 100 top devs 20m and still have 60m to play with.

This is even before considering a Bing/Yahoo/Ecosia deal.

Mozilla will be fine, but they’ll likely need to be leaner. Lay offs will likely play a part in that. Just got to hope they size and structure it right.

I’m in the UK also. I care about this though.

And you think US government and 5 eyes countries won’t have access? What happens when that elaborate detailed profile data of yours gets hacked?

You are free to choose at any point where you draw the line.

Chromium fork. Chromium code, Google defining compatibility standards. Firefox (or it’s forks) is the only real alternative.

I just don’t see a good reason to use Manjaro and many reasons not to.

A business easily offers a 40% discount. You didn’t critically assess that, ask how, and give off vibes it was a charitable and Intel was ungrateful. TMSC while an interesting business is still a big corp with profitability at heart.

Even if Intel aren’t the good guys, you cannot assume TMSC is. I like AMD, but I’m under no illusion they could throw consumers under the bus tomorrow for self interest. Right now, it’s king for Linux hardware though.

The key word is temporarily. How long ago was this?

Calling people dumb then throwing a weak argument doesn’t make it stronger.

They’re on wafer thin margins with vendor lock in. The strategy was not successful.

If you can offer a 40% discount and still make profit, your prices are probably 3 times the cost.

If you cannot go to another supplier, you have vendor lock in.

I’m an AMD guy, so I got no skin in the game defending Intel, but if you’re shilling this much for TSMC, you aren’t really bringing an unbiased opinion.

Who possibly saw that if you kill your manufacturing and buy from a company with monopoly power, they could write there own profits.

Sometimes big companies are really dumb.

Isn’t this just mostly clever accounting, burning intangible assets etc.

They’ll make 10 bn a year by cutting jobs and be laughing. Note the share price rose as markets love redundancies.

The fact they were willing to try it says all it needs to about them. They only stopped because of complaints.

Your argument is like saying Unity game engine is fine because they rolled back on the changes. Nope.

Tenacity is much more trustworthy for me.

Could you elaborate on the harder to use? It was a fork so should be pretty similar. They overhauled the build stuff to make it easier to build on multiple systems.

He is an oxygen supply absolutist. Just don’t annoy him.

Are people exiting PC gaming or do they already have gaming PCs with competent hardware?

I suspect the market is saturated.

Since that whole telemetry debacle, I have no interest in this project. Tenacity is where it is at.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Rolling and up to date. Stable. Games well.

Isn’t it punishment enough having to use Azure? It’s worse than having to use Google Cloud…

I think it is total posts. There is a monthly active users of about 40k. If only 10% posts and the rest are lurkers that’s 4k.
