  • It would not surprise me if game developers use those screens to gain more time to load assets and initialize things in the background.

    I’ll bet they do that with cutscenes and elevators too whenever you’re about to go into a new zone.

  • America badly needs electoral reform and viable third parties. This FPTP, pay-to-win system creates is such a dumpster fire.

  • Hmmmm

  • I wouldn’t assume malice in all cases. Maybe they just aren’t great at breaking down complex subjects into plain language because it’s complex. Being an effective communicator and teacher is a skill that needs a lot of patience, practice, development, and feedback in order to get good, especially when trying to convey ideas through speech.

  • You’re forgetting a fundamental one:

    • Sidewalks
  • You can use a bang, !g , to get google results on ddg

  • Sometimes programmers wanna store one file and not care about the details related to what drive and computer it’s on. Sometimes in addition they want to make that file available to a limited number of other people or maybe make it broadly available on a private network or public on the internet.

    Amazon’s cloud (AWS) offers a convenient service called Simple Storage Service (S3) to do that with a bunch of reliability and availability guarantees. Those guarantees add to the cost of the service, and not everyone needs them, so some programmers hope that competing discount cloud service providers (CSPs) will eventually offer a compatible service.

    Hetzner is a discount CSP with lower guarantees, and that according to this post, released a compatible service.

    Competition here is good. AWS is pretty dominant, number 1 worldwide with 33% of the CSP market and the company as a whole makes a lot of profit from being the internet’s corporate landlord.

  • That’s why we need to defend cbc

  • Nah she’s talking about the ATS systems that filter through all the applicants’ resumes looking for the ones with the highest amount of matching keywords so they can get the number of applicants down to a more reasonable number to interview.

    They don’t care if their bots don’t work for your PDF resume because they get so many applicants it doesn’t matter.

    I’m surprised this isn’t common knowledge for jobseekers.

  • I’m surprised there’s so few mentions of AWS in this thread. It’s a huge profit centre for the company and a large portion of the internet is now running off of it. AWS is basically the internet’s landlord now, and the profits generated from being the most popular cloud service provider globally are probably why they can afford to invest so heavily into their logistics infrastructure and retail that people are more familiar with.

  • Redis / Valkey

  • It’s the carbon tax and carbon rebate in Canada. When paired with a carbon tariff, it’s a great market friendly solution to reduce emissions. Beware though, it really really triggers regressive petrosexual conservatives and the ones in Canada keep trying to trigger an election over it so they can get rid of it ASAP and pollute more.

  • This is why I use an email aliasing service now. Every new site gets a different email address but they all get forwarded to the same account. If one ever misbehaves, their associated email address alias gets deactivated. It’s great to keep track of who’s selling addresses too.

    Sometimes unsubscribe just isn’t good enough.

  • Diaspora exists, but it’s small
