Mac gaming would have been light years ahead of where we currently are if Apple officially supported Vulkan. I believe early versions of Proton targeted both Linux and MacOS. But Valve walked away after Apple showed little to no interest in working with them.

I haven't had an account since the Apollo purge but fuck Spez.

They tried various pricing plans although I forget if they experimented with both usage based and capped plans. Anything other than unlimited did not go over well with users. I had no desire to manage a monthly cap since my own daily usage varied so much. People had also become very conditioned to having unlimited search.

Amen.

Zuck is a fucking piece a shit. But the headline and article misrepresents what he was saying. His actual quote was "Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling" and appears to be directed towards users, not Meta employees.

It's a tech demo at this point, not a product. Tim Cook wanted something to cement his legacy so they released it even though the technology was not at all ready yet. The potential is impressive but we're years away.

Say what you want about Steve Jobs. But his timing during his second stint at Apple was unrivaled. He knew what to bet on and when. And he wasn't afraid to go all in and bet the company on it.

It does work with Jellyfin.

Proper HDR support, both on the encoding and decoding side, has been a chore since the beginning. There's no excuse for Plex. But in the open source community, development started slowly because most devs didn't own anything that was capable of playing HDR.

I never said that I was surprised. I just wanted to point out that many companies like my own are already making significant changes to how they hire and fire. They need to justify their large investment in AI even though we know the tech isn't there yet.

The obsession with replacing workers with AI isn't going to die. It's too late. The large financial company that I work for has been obsessively tracking hours saved in developer time with GitHub Copilot. I'm an older developer and I was warned this week that my job will be eliminated soon.

Just block the user. I like Bluesky but I'm tired of the constant posts too.

The relentless pursuit of capitalism and reduced labor costs. I still don't think anyone knows how effective it's going to be at this point. But companies are investing billions to find out.
