Only Srouji would be a real loss. Not that they wouldn't feel the loss of the others, but more of a 'never mind' than an 'oh no'.

Is it AI, or is it being run by people entirely divorced from the founder's vision?

I think it's being compliant with the founder's vision entirely.

Isn't he one of the first ass clowns to start laying people off, replaced by AI.

Another empty suit.


But we should be concerned shouldn't we? These people are exempt from laws, they and their presecessors made, for which they will happily condemn the common person and profit again when you pay for your crime.

They should be more accountable, not less.

Well, that's the problem, right there. We shouldn't be thinking about making new laws that they also won't subject themselves to. We should be thinking about shoring up the rule of law, and ensuring that they are always held accountable.

Unfortunately, today's partisan politics prevents that from happening. The partisans - on BOTH sides - behave as if it's more important that their own side appear faultless and all guilt falls on their opponent. So partisans ensure that those on their own side will get a free pass.


This is the way...

AI is a net negative fnyor anyone not in on the grift.

Hang in there, abundance is on its way! /s

Abundance of PRs waiting for reviewers!

I've been calling it "the last great bubble" whenever discussing it with my family and friends. This is Peak Grift.

I suppose it's the problem with AI in general. It's an interesting technology looking for a business model that just isn't there, at least not one that comes even close to justifying the cost.

I hate the fact that it has sucked all the oxygen from the room and enabled an entirely new cadre of grifters all of whom will escape accountability when it unfolds.


Noooooooooo


Enshittification doesn't just happen to products!!

Who TF thought this was a good idea?

Deliver a first class, lean operating system and then layer user space enhancements as requested.

Are they trying to make Linux desktop happen?

I'd encourage people to consider Chromebooks but I'm not sure Google deserves any more praise.


I'm not saying Steve Jobs is turning in his grave, i'm saying it's like Cirque de Soleil in there.

There are far too few people who truly advocate for the user, and it is this dereliction that has fuelled the race to the bottom.

It's not a matter of native libraries versus x-platform solutions versus W3, it's about valuing UX over DX at EVERY TURN. It's about educating yourself as to the resource and performance consequence of the technologies you are advocating for.
