@sun @tk @s8n @thatbrickster apparently that came later. i was watching a thing about it and he initially doubled pay and cut working hours to avert union wars
it wasn't until later that he decided maybe i should be 70% shitty instead of 90% -

too late now but the thought occurred to me to acquire an 85L hiking pack and just cram everything that will fit in to it.
i think the living out of a backpack folk don't use giant bags for that though -

@tk @s8n @sun @thatbrickster ford was also racist as shit but unlike most of the others he also had a neuron activation and was like wait what the fuck if i'm just slightly less shitty people will stop giving me problems this is the way to go -

@tk @s8n @sun @thatbrickster yeah i think we could savely bomb the gates and rockefellers from the timeline and it would be a net positive for mankind probably -

@sun @tk @thatbrickster yeah more or less. he showed up with a flawed benchmark and said shut it down so management did
some of the points were literally like encoder bugs that were patched -

@s8n @tk @sun @thatbrickster i think a lot of stuff that exists now is like a prison to make sure we don't have more nikola teslas.
the governments and gafam fight over siphoning off college students from top schools just to waste them in secret labs working on bullshit and nothings -

@sun @thatbrickster @tk i refer you to the entire photography industry blessing jpeg-xl, along with the photography units inside google doing all the work to support it, and then the AV1 group just prances through and kills it because idk works on my porn collection, force it to production and reject jxl by fiat.
this is literally why we don't have jxl -

@sun @tk @thatbrickster google and communication are two words that never go close to one another unless its an article about how it doesn't exist.
they're basically a containment zone for high scoring college graduates and everything they do internally is basically social darwinism -

@thatbrickster @tk as we already knew the 'nobody left behind' mentality is financially expensive and its return on investment comes out in the form of intangibles -

@tk @thatbrickster this comes up in simon sinecks "leaders eat last" which also talks about a couple companies that basically committed to no-firing and those few firms basically get the fanatical loyalty that was common to blue chips
shareholder boards learned they wouldn't be shot dead for firing people so they now do it freely and out of convenience. -

@tk @thatbrickster i'm told reagan was an important turning point for enshittification
his treatment of federal ATC employees green lit the modern era of worker disposability -

@thatbrickster @tk in a way he's not wrong because of the shift from quality to dopamine slop factories. nobody is building reichs to last a thousand years, they're pump and dumping hype for GAFAM buyouts
(like the humane team getting acquired by HP this week; all the people who bought those pins are getting shafted with a 'haha were deleting your shit in ten days' notice) -

@thatbrickster @tk if i had to guess the problem is that in the 90s the frameworks were often a means to an end but in the 20's the frameworks themselves have become the skillset :blobcatwaitwhat2:
i spoke to a czech dude years ago about AI work and how i was reading the publications and books to understand how all the neurons worked and he's just like so what i copy pasted stuff and made a thing which do you think matters -

just as the work expands to fit the workday, webdevs get fat enough to fill the room they are in :neocat_floof_explode: -

@mischievoustomato @tadano my biggest issue with the old t420 was not that it lacked the power for casual games so much as it didn't speak vulkan and its been long enough that low end graphics require that
anything opengl running on old hardware like that is borrowing the GLES profile from piece of shit third world phones at this point
