let's be real... it's a fucking dating app ran by women (because they, aside from troons and SJWs are the only ones that give a shit about "Personal Pronouns") that outsources their support to third worlders like every company these days. They don't need 1000+ people running it.
It's not even a good dating app either. Out of all the ones I've used (and trust me, I've used almost all of them at this point), it's the ONLY one where I've never gotten a message from any of the women there.
Minus the spyware looking ones, obviously.
I'm talking about the well known ones... Match, eHarmony, POF, OKCupid, Hinge, etc...
Match group (Match.com guys) run 95% of English language dating apps. The only ones the NA they don't run are Islamic ones or specific ethnic ones (and the ethnic ones will sell out eventually, once their founders have had their full of the 10/10s they force the app to match them with)
That's why all dating apps have essentially the exact same monetization options and they cripple free users (men) the same way no matter what.
Lol, he'll get found out eventually and when it happens he's dead in the industry. Reading the comments he stopped giving a shit about 2 years ago and his skills are starting to atrophy.
The YouTube Music folks who were laid off recently had a rather embarrassing moment. Turns out two of them were at an Austin City Council meeting to air their grievances there, and found out mid-rant that they'd just been laid off. Whoops:
(I tried to timestamp it to the right spot; it's near the end if it didn't work)
Ahahah holy shiiiiittt this is amazing

Think about it; this guy getting commendations and pats on the back for 4hrs of work... How shit of a job must the pajeets and DEIs be doing, if a white man putting together a monthly pull request is a dream employee?
Well he lasts about 4-6 months it seems
Google got fat, lazy, and troon filled. James Damore hit the nail on the head.
this has come up in other news articles before, but what the fuck is wrong with everyone's faces, body types, hair styles, etc? in that video clip of the protestors every person is some ugly, misshapen monster creature. that woman who told the guy that they were just laid off is so unattractive, she's like that Pat character from SNL. what's happening with zoomers/younger millenials?
i also kind of wonder if the fact that the woman seems to be wearing pajama bottoms to a city council meeting is some way connected to why those people don't have jobs anymore
She's just fat. So many people, a solid 40%, are clinically obese or morbidly obese. Another 20-30% are overweight. That girl would look nice if she was 50lbs lighter.
Fatties are usually ugly.
Remember, the Adams are autistic speds who spend damn near all their waking hours making DF, not engaging with the rest of the industry. They similarly assume that most game developers are like them, not like most of the devs in the industry who manage to spend years achieving basically nothing. Their perception of the value and necessity of layoffs is going to be heavily influenced by this one-two punch of "Hasn't played the trite shit coming out" and "Assumes all devs are enthusiast angels".
They're also troon lovers who will probably troon out before the game hits 1.0.
The main dev literally survived off e begging and ramen and mountain dev for over a decade.
They also baked homosexuality and trannies into DF in recent years as well, and cast a foul glare in the direction of anyone who gives advice on the forums on how to mod that shit back out.
It's worth noting that having homosexuals and trannies in a round of DF can be a significant detriment to the functioning and general health of a fortress. For obvious reasons, they don't reproduce (which can be crippling early on and can negatively impact population growth even in mid-to-late game) but they're also more likely to cause insanity spirals since "wants children" is a trait any dwarf can have but a gay or tranny couple can never reproduce, so such couples wind up less happy and more susceptible to going nuts when other stuff around the fort goes wrong.
The mod to get rid of this dumb shit is so "offensive" to these idiots that it had to be hosted on
basedmods.com.
Ahaha yep. They're tranny fellators.
Assuming the leaks are accurate, backwards compatibility is on the table, and the specs are roughly comparable to last-gen consoles. The ones that released in 2013, although with modern advantages in code and possibly functionality, so think closer to late PS4 in capability rather than launch PS4. If leaks about it having DLSS or an equivalent are true, they might eke out more performance.
Considering the Switch is already seven years old, its really not that unrealistic that people upgrade. The early core adopters are probably running those machines right down to the end of their feasible hardware life in regards to batteries and other short life components in the machine. Most people who have a switch either got it so long ago that its not going to be a case of "I have to buy a new one already?", and those who did buy it so late are likely not the main audience in the first place.
The Switch 2 will technically still be cheap, outdated hardware. It is rumored to be probably more PS4 Pro range, likely worse than Steam Deck. It is also rumored to be backwards capable and I highly doubt they would snub that feature in a sequel console as 3DS and Wii U both had it, along with Wii and DS. Switch was the outlier given it used cartridges, and didn't have dual screen.
Nintendo gets by on exclusives and having the Japanese market. Japanese like handhelds and a lot of Japanese companies refuse to move to Steam. If Sony goes under, they will have no competition. As for America, many still refuse to use PC, so Nintendo would have the handheld/console market.
The Wii to Wii U was a unique situation. Nintendo got pretty lazy late Wii and early Wii U, so exclusives were not worth a purchase when it is New Super Mario Bros. Gaming was also centered more heavily in favor of western developers late 7th-early 8th gen given the COD, Creed, and GTA fad. Finally, naming the consoles like an accessory such as Wii U was a terrible marketing strategy, along with rarely showing anything but a tablet which furthered the idea that it was just a tablet accessory.
Switch 2 will be a Switch with 1. A More powerful and efficient SoC. It'll be at least 2 generations newer than the 2019 era Tegra is currently has. 2. Better battery life 3. Slightly better screen 4. More memory
Considering the difference from say a Nvidia GPU from 2019 till Winter 2023 (when the switch 2 specs were probably locked in) it'll be a pretty big upgrade.
>a diminishing brand
>unpopular for over a decade
>switching to even less popular EV.
This is a really good short opportunity over the next 1.5-2 years.
They're ruining their company chasing the political "current thing"
Stellantis is fucked because their profits comes from big trucks and Jeep SUVs on the USA. Jeep and Ram pretty much find the entire house of cards that is Stellantis (aka the "best of the rest" of EU carmakers that VW didn't buy)

News I guess we will find out later
We shall see
Certain low skill "tech jobs" can easily be remote as they require almost zero skill so you can target poorer regions of the USA and offer less pay that California.
A lot of them were trying to walk things back slowly, thinking they could boil the frog, but its not working this time. Anecdotally, my work was trying to do the same thing - Going full remote to 2 day hybrid cost them a significant amount of senior talent. Then they announced 3 day hybrid with fixed days, and ended up walking it back a few days later. I can see in the HR systems that there were a lot of inquiries about Constructive Dismissal laws coming in, laws here mean the employer can't unilaterally change the contract and then consider it a for cause dismissal if you refuse. Judging by the ticket volume, enough people were actively making it known that it'd have probably been a registered and notified mass layoff just to deal with the people who refused.
This isn't the tech sector, just IT inside a normal org, but its telling that they can't retain these people in the economic climate we got.
Meanwhile every job posting I've seen in the past year is 2-3 days in office minimum. Banks/financial institutions are back in person 4-5 days already.
Purely on paper, you can totally retrain a willing developer or BA into a fab worker, but in practice you're also asking them to take a significant paycut and lifestyle cut. Fab workers are paid pretty damned well, but nowhere close to silicon valley levels. Similarly, the Fab simply cannot accommodate the sort of flexibility office workers are used to. Hell, if you want a fab job, you basically got to quit smoking - It'll take you a half hour just to go through the suit down, smoke, suit up process. They won't have to contrive a reason to dismiss you, your performance will tank. Work from home, four weeks paid vacation plus no questions asked flex days are just as easily out the fucking window. Its nearly inconceivable that any significant numbers of people will give all that up unless they have a literal gun to the back of their heads
Yep, most useless code monkeys would not last long on a fab.
Even in Taiwan, TSMC treats fab workers like utter shit.
That’s a reality that laid off Silicon Valley/FAANG workers are going to have to get used to regardless even if they stay in the same industry. Their salaries were grossly overinflated and not sustainable in a real economy. Most of them will be lucky to find a new job that pays them even 80% of what they made before.
Yep. If they don't take a job they'll be replaced by new grads or get offshored.
Sure the foreigner is only half as good but he/she only costs 1/3 as much.
