Sales is up compared to last year but still doesn't meet target? Hmm... this infinite growth thing is harder than I though.

The IT managers got tired of being blamed for all server outages and want to shift some of those responsibilities. Now when there's an outage, they can say "it's not us, it's AWS because they suspend our account for non-payment".

I sincerely hope that Yuzu developers don't end up like Gary Bowser and have their income garnished for life by Nintendo.

I guess Ars writers can't be too critical to Reddit. They're owned by the same parent company (condé nast) afterall. The fact that they're even allowed to cover this topic by their corporate overlord is already a miracle.

My memory is hazy, but during the subreddit protest, he was somehow removed from moderator list (did the admins got involved?), and the sub reopened shortly after. From then on, any thread about migration to Lemmy is full of people roasting each other. It was awful. No idea why those who remains were so vehemently opposed to migration of a piracy community. It's not like you can openly discuss piracy stuff on Reddit without risking removal by the admins.

OpenAI said the "new initial board" will consist of D'Angelo, economist Larry Summers, and former Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor, who will be the chair.

Those pesky board members with their annoying AI safety ideals are gone, replaced by new board members with excellent experience in squeezing profits. Next they'll probably attempt to turn the non-profit parent org into a for profit corporation so they can get equity/stock grants. Yay!

I guess OpenAI will get enshittified next year.

Linux users:

They only allow a handful of curated extensions on mobile. You'll have to use the nightly build and jump through some hoops to install arbitrary extensions on mobile (mostly to allow devs to test their extension). Looks like they'll finally lift the restriction soon.

Everyone talk about doing the fun jobs, yet no one talk about doing the hard and necessary jobs like a plumber, garbage men, or farmer. Poops and garbage aren't magically disappear and foods don't magically appears except in star trek utopia.

James Musk is more of as "a fixer type," helping Elon Musk on various tasks, one insider said.

Twitter employees must've dreaded seeing this guy. "Oh no, Elon is with James again. Shit is about to hit the fan"

I'm sure this will give a boost to Godot development.

People that are naturally drawn to fediverse tend to be:

• self-hosting enthusiasts excited to run their own social media platforms, which are tend to be big supporters of FOSS
• left-leaning idealists who want to get away from big corps platforms
• pirates (arrr)

So it's not that surprising to see plenty of anti-capitalism and transgender stuff here if you consider this demographics.
