As someone with first hand experience growing up in the country, you could not be more wrong.

He made $12000 off each fired employee.

Yeah, you enjoy your day and your strawman arguement you 'won' against as well.

Also, c’mon, their criticism of this decision in the sentence just before it heavily implies that.

That's literally not how that works, and you even agree in the paragraph above this one. Why are you even arguing about this?

As for twitch's working conditions, it's a company ran by amazon, with management by amazon, so it has a lot of the same problems. From what I understand, the hours are shit, everything is a metric that's impossible to meet, you're constantly at risk of being laid off, a lot of the management are jackasses, and it's very much a bunch of little fiefdoms trying to flex their position and abuse any amount of power they can.

Like, I can sum it up as simply as "Know how terrible twitch mods are? Imagine working for one."

Not quite as bad as the conditions working in an amazon warehouse, sure, but still not something anyone should have to put up with. Regular inhuman working conditions with a focus on gaslighting and abuse, as opposed to an amazon warehouse's egregiously inhuman working conditions which are focused more on physical abuse.

They're talking about the working conditions in general, which are indeed deplorable. They're not saying this specific act is proof of it, or even an example of it.

Reading comprehension, dude.

Yes, absolutely. Constantly, in fact.

Rust the language is great.

Rust the community makes me hate rust, never want anything to do with it, and actively advise people not to use Rust. Your community is so, so important to a programming language, because that's who makes your documentation, your libraries, fills out the discords, IRC, and mailing lists. As a developer, any time you're doing anything but rote boilerplate zombie work, you're interacting with the community. And Rust has a small, but extremely vocal, section of their community that are just absolute shitheads.

Maybe in 5-10 years when the techbros stop riding its' dick and go do something else will Rust recover its reputation, but for now? Absolutely no.

Google is spending a lot of cash to make Firefox look bad so people are unmotivated to change away from Chrome when manifest v3 is fully rolled out.

Because it's cheaper than actually implementing working anti heat instead of just stealing control of your computer and leaving gaping vulnerabilities on it.

After all, why would they care? It's not their computer.

Except for the fact that it's now invasive as hell and trying to monitor/sell everything on your computer after the rewrite. We had to ditch teams after the rework because it wanted to phone home to dozens of IPs with information about our computers and actions.

The high score was blocking 112 outgoing requests with personal data in a single 1 hour call. (We have network connections locked down on our computers using Little Snitch).

Absolute madness and frankly every single person involved in Microsoft Teams should be thrown in jail for espionage and stalking.

Google really wants to make sure you can't escape their ad-riddled bullshit when they get rid of Manifest v2

Man, there is a LOT of people in this thread hoping to normalize this, or pretend it will happen anyway, or that it's 'not really a PR disaster', or that people will ignore it, or-

Go make your money elsewhere, christ.
