As much as I am not going to weep for their loss, it's more a message that tells me there is less to outsource than the idea of work being repatriated back to North America. Between the job cuts in NA and A.I doing some of the workload, that is the reason we are seeing India shed jobs and we're not feeling like we're winning on this end.

I meant to say unknowingly.

I'm from a French Canadian province and we spoke French in the home.
My mother told me how as a toddler I would get up early in the morning to turn on the TV and watch English programs such as Sesame Street and other such shows.
She noticed I seemed to understand what was said and at one point asked me a question in English and was very surprised that I gave a clear answer back. I would not know English fluently today had that not happened when I was that age. Most people who learned English at school were terrible with large accents.
Now one thing I have to say, because shows played at a certain time of the day, it forced me to get up early to watch them as opposed to just starting a stream whenever I felt like it which could have been a lot less exposure.
Somehow I think that limit forced people back then knowingly into some kind of discipline and routine.

I rarely find anything worth watching on Prime. It seems to be the place where all the bombed movies end up.
One of the few shows they had that gave me hope was when they continued the story of The Expanse only to see them bail on season 6 with a paltry 6 episodes.
Anything else you want, it's always an extra subscription or rental anyway so what's the point? I think they should just stop providing it and just make shows to sell to other streamers,

But isn't that the point of a car rental business like Hertz? You use public transportation for your daily needs and rent from a company such as Hertz when you need a vehicle to go somewhere that is not practical using public transit.

I believe they are disconnected. Animation studios fail and close all the time because they either go insolvent or investors stop giving money.
We aren't saying that they managed to deliver NextGen because they didn't pay their employees. The closures happened long after that movie was done.

The studio shutting down and not paying their workers, production companies squeezing VFX and CGI companies, those are different topics that have nothing to do with Tangent's success at using AWS to do the rendering.
Granted, it was a sad situation with Tangent and one that really sucked as they were quite active with the Blender Foundation.

I have to disagree with that. Cloud services like AWS can save a lot of money in some circumstances.
I like to use the Netflix movie NextGen as an example. The studio behind it had to do it in 3 months. Before services such as AWS, they would have needed to buy huge amounts of servers and infrastructure.
They simply scripted to spin up as many servers as needed to do all the rendering and then just shut them all down after they were done and returned to normal levels.

Depends for whom. My aging mother who has Alzheimer and doesn't need anything specific was enjoying watching the Bob Ross channel since she used to be a painter herself. It satisfies her needs and keeps the bill to needing internet instead of a costly combo with cable channels. I used to check out the Classic Doctor Who channel when it was available but they removed it. I also watch shows on RetroCrush, one of which I cannot even watch on the RetroCrunch application as it`s considered unavailable in my region. I'm not saying it has great value but there is some.

I know it's finding out you're watching habits and it's no surprise to me but is it all negative?
There are a lot of streaming channels on Samsung's TV channels that I watch. I used to check out the Classic Doctor Who episodes on it and they stopped casting that channel. It's still on the Roku channels.
Maybe they stopped because people weren't watching it and the data collected helped determine that? I don't recall seeing a lot of advertising on that channel at the time.
Perhaps we need to see it as the modern version of the Nelson rating system where instead of a handful of people determining what is good, Most can now participate in a way and help shape the landscape for the better.
Then again, we keep getting more reality TV so.....

This is an easy one to figure out. Coders will become dependent on AI to do a lot of the basic stuff and eventually be dependent on it like a crutch much like people need a calculator to do basic math or their phone to call people because they can`t recall any number save for their mom's phone number.

This was already established when RH added those restrictions. Look at that article, it dates back to July and has nothing to do with the OpenELA being discussed here. They said back then they would no longer be One to One clone but that doesn't change their statement to be binary compatible.

I wonder why AlmaLinux, which is also based on RHEL, not joining this group. I would think it is in their interest as well. I know they aim to be binary compatible with RHEL but why go it alone is what I don't understand. Maybe they see something that isn't being said about the OpenELA group.

It's not a loophole. When Richard Stallman started to make the code for GNU, he had to find a way to sustain himself. He was asking people who wanted to have access to the code to pay him money to get access. What I don't believe is acceptable is that IBM demands that anyone who has paid to access the code be restricted from giving it to others freely.

I use AlmaLinux in a production environment with a Monitoring system. ABI compatible sounds like I don't need to worry in the short to mid term but should I be looking elsewhere for any new servers I want to deploy or can I safely continue to use Alma for future deployments? I'm sure this is a case-by-case basis for a lot of people but what should I look at to evaluate the decision? Some youtube channels mention aiming for community distros like Debian to avoid another corporate move such as IBM just did, Canonical being another example.
