It's a futile lawsuit anyway since it appears all the laid off employees are still employees until February. I didn't count, but that looks like it's more than 60 days away to me.
A lot of this fuckery in a lot of ways is going to go away.
It's going to be a massive recession, companies won't survive if they're busy trying to "ackshually we're really activists".
The methods used to get out of the great financial crisis broke businesses. It convinced them that they don't need to make money to survive, and that they don't need to make their customers happy to make money. They're in for a huge reality check.

I had a shitty computer and a high tolerance for bad frame rates, so I was always hoping back in the day that there was some way quake could run on a shittier computer. No luck back then. I bet today with source ports we'd be much closer to that working
One of the things I've found I have to accept is that sometimes people I like say things I disagree with, and sometimes people I don't particularly like say things I very much agree with. The ideas live or die on their own merits...
Desktop as a service is something that's becoming more commonplace. You pay a certain amount for access to a fully powered computer that you can access on the road or using a less powerful computer.
Personally, I looked into it for a bit, but the economics didn't really work for me. It's fairly expensive from what I saw.

It sounds like an absurd "let them eat cake" question, but the majority of Canadians live in cities where the average single family home costs ONE MILLION DOLLARS or more, and taxes are very high. You get into your million dollar home, you pay your 8,000 or 10,000 annually in land taxes on top of the 50% income taxes, you're paying high food costs, high insurance costs, high energy costs, some of the highest Internet and cell phone prices in the world, and before long you're looking at six figures just to have a basic life.
The Trudeau government wants to blame everyone but themselves, but if you look at every single election campaign, they throw more incentives at buying a home, as if they aren't just raising the costs of an individual home in doing so.
More of the Canadian economy is selling crappy houses to each or surrounding services other than manufacturing. Not by a small amount.
If inflation doesn't get in check, then mortgage rates are going to continue to rise, and a lot of people who were relying on the government to continue keeping interest rates low forever are going to discover that with interest rates being what they are there is no mortgage term long enough where they can ever pay back their house. At the 1% some mortgages were coming out at, your monthly payment for 900,000 of debt over a whopping 30 years is about 2800/month. At the current rates of about 6%, that rises to 5300/month. At the historical average prior to the great recession of about 9%, payments work out to about 7100 monthly. Accounting for tax, 7100 monthly is a six figure job just to pay that. You'd already be spending almost two dollars in interest for every dollar in principal.

Still lots of shortages of lots of stuff.
Baby Tylenol is literally rarer than gold. You can buy gold right now.

Anyone else want to give up their computer so they can let a regime that opposes everything we stand for can build more data centers instead?
Me neither.
Me neither.
Ironically, the people who most need desperate sluts in their area probably use ad blockers...
It's really worth a thought just about everywhere. For the millions of dollars spent on proprietary solutions, not only could open source projects be refined into something as good or better than proprietary solutions, but that would become a public good everyone on earth would benefit from.
It's insane how badly Microsoft has managed Windows since Windows 8. There's disaster upon disaster upon disaster, stuff that has been fundamentally broken for a decade.
I guess in a sense it shows how powerful OS monopolies can be, that people can have products that don't work properly for so long and it doesn't materially affect their market share.

Jesus no kidding! I'm imagining a game where you get two or three layers deep into games within games and everyone gives up and goes to play mario kart instead.
Imagine pretending to be Latino and not knowing the difference between libre and gratis
