I understand the myopic that makes this happen. Amazon gets a marquee event, and supposedly boosts its stature and hopefully drives viewership. Everything a corporate vice president wants. The Emmy organization gets the most money, that they use for⦠whatever. Win-win right?

Well, no. Viewership will drop because now people have to get an Amazon prime subscription as opposed to simply having basic cable, or (gasp!) an antenna. They wonâ(TM)t even know when it happens because they wonâ(TM)t see the ads for it on a competing network. And so what used to be yearly appointment viewing cultural touchstone dies.

Theyâ(TM)re literally breaking their product and then ransoming it back to you for a monthly protection fee.

Enshitification is too kind of a word

Check out J.D. Beck & Domi, or Ren, or for something a little more out there, Angine de Poitrine. Unbelievable raw talent is there in abundance for all three. Angine in particular give a first reaction as WTF? then it grows on you and you wonder why everyone else has too few frets on their instruments :-)

What year is this? Itâ(TM)s so wild that SCO is still doing this same bullshit after 30 fucking years!!!!

Jesus! I know that donâ(TM)t have anything else to do, but itâ(TM)s hard to believe that thereâ(TM)s anyone at SCO that would be willing to dust off their parentsâ(TM) failed lawsuits, but apparently there is.

Linux is already a success.

Rust is not fun. I tried it, and I hated it. Maybe you like it if you like abuse, but man. I hated it. It was the least fun I had programming in anything since OCaml.

>One could infer that the State of California thinks its citizens are dumber than the average American, and thus can't be allowed to see triangular arrows lest they draw the wrong conclusion

Or the plastics recycling was always an industry greenwashing campaign, and the vast majority of people actually do believe that sorting their plastics into a recycling bin leads to less plastic being manufactured, and this is just a move to educate the people that plastic recycling is actually a sham.

Phones should identify base stations that move around and blacklist them - refuse to connect to them or respond to them in any way. Base stations should be stationary - any cell station that moves is a bad actor. It could be a user option - allow connections to mobile base stations?

Hey China!

When you want to fund the revolution against the Epstein plutocracy HMU!

That's quite an assumption - he is assuming they are finite and reasonably small in number. Time will tell - and given the rapid pace of advancement in AIs finding vulnerabilities, it won't take that much time.

Why would anyone pay for a web browser? Seriously, why? In 35 years of web browsers, only dopes paid for them.

ahh these young kids donâ(TM)t remember Digitial Electronic Corporation, makers of legendary DEC Alpha CPU.

We will probably get to GLPH pretty soon. Or even PLPH or YLPH :-)

(TLPH is Terra not Trump :-) although I can understand the confusion in this context)

With a huge carve out for war crimes, murder, rape, child molestation, sexual assault, and official corruption. Those should live and last *forever*. Otherwise your "Epstien class" will always get away with everything.

Apparently the performance of the code it produces is worse than gcc with all optimizations turned off. That's pathetic. And it is written in rust, so it can't bootstrap - And the size of it is on par with a hand-written C compiler - so no win there.

When I worked on compilers at IBM, our first bootstrap of C for x86 was a cause for celebration. A double bootstrap was a great "smoke test". But that was relatively easy. Passing the validation test suites were *way* harder - like 50x harder.
