I guess that explains the transition to AI coding as well

because I can’t be bothered to learn it.

And there’s the rub

I never saw it go anywhere. I mean its cool and interesting from a technological perspective but I’m yet to see any practical application for normal people. It seems to only make shit worse, while destroying the environment and the economy.

Seems to me like meaningful development isn’t moving at all.

They will, but they’ll take you with them

And the local govt is going to charge them with a fine that recoups that cost, as well as enough overhead to make other similar companies reconsider theft, right? RIGHT!?

CEOs are getting their pockets filled so, yeah, I think its exactly the way companies think.

Google spent a lot of time developing sandboxed environments and now they want to tear it all down…

I mean, they’re going to accelerate the pace, obviously…

tldr?

I dunno, can they?

Only because they’re in a position to be. Lots of other companies/execs would literally kill to be in the same position. They’re not not pieces of shit out of the kindness of their hearts, it’s because they don’t have the power to be.

When the billionaires own everything you have no choice to work anywhere else.

There are different types of lithium batteries. LFP never killed anyone.

If it makes you feel better, I’m 100k in the hole on the one I bought in 2021, and can’t even afford to sell it.

I wouldn’t buy a “lifetime” subscription for anything. It’s been proven many times that they carry no legal obligation.

Or in the case of Plex, the product becomes so shitty that I never want to use it again anyway.

I rotate them every 3 months or so. By that time I’ve pretty much exhausted any interesting content they have anyway.

Chrome?

If your company want to install malware on their PCs, that’s their prerogative.

You could give them a Linux laptop and it would do all of the same things.
