It seems likely biased as well unfortunately if they let teams decide on their own what to use. I would wager that teams who on their own switched to Rust are probably teams that were already productive.

I disagree that it's so simple, 10 is different because for a long time it was unclear 11 was ever going to happen, the biyearly releases were the new versions. For most of the other Windows versions they didn't stop receiving security update until well after the next version or two were out. 11 will have only been out for 4 years when support for 10 theoretically stops.

At least I attempted to looked it up, rather than everyone else who assumed it just can't happen at all while also knowing nothing about it.

No, what I'm saying is that a quick Google suggests you can get jail time for this in Colombia even if Apple is the one suing. Obviously I'm not an expert, but my point is that Apple's threat of possible jail time is not completely unfounded, you can't assume it just works like the US legal system.

I think you might be making too many assumptions about the Colombian legal system.

The irony is that it very well could have been a disadvantage for her to get picked. The incumbent advantage isn't really a thing for people appointed to the seat, and she'd be stuck doing Senate things for the next year instead of campaigning.

Keep in mind it's not an all or nothing thing, they'll assign percentages of fault. It's also important that they name name basically anybody involved because the others will try to blame Google to shift fault off of themselves.

Effectively you want to name everybody possible so that they all fight it out.

It's not quite what you're getting at, but in Bubble Bobble Revolution you can't pass level 30 because the boss doesn't spawn. It's a soft lock but there's nothing you can do to avoid it, and the game is on the DS so there's no updates to fix it :D

I think you're missing a detail here, which is that before streaming was a thing writers would make significant amounts of their money by getting a show syndicated on a network, that was the whole deal. Streaming is being treated differently, effectively resulting in then receiving a very large pay cut because even if they make a successful show the payout doesn't come.

And it's true they could structure things so that they don't receive a secondary payout, but their base salary was negotiated with that later payout in mind. You and I don't receive secondary payouts for our work, but our salary is also adjusted to recognize that.

Much of what she was brought on to do (negotiating with advertisers I guess) isn't really public facing, so from that respect it's not that surprising that she appears to be doing nothing. I also think she's not taking the L yet, if things get even worse Musk may blame her as an excuse to walk things back ("I was following her advice" or whatever).

Maybe, but there's a market out there for CEOs who are willing to take the blame for some unpopular decisions and then walk away. There's also something to be said that "-50%" might actually be an improvement over where it was before she was hired, and the bad decisions weren't hers.

I feel like you ignored their chief issue, which is that if your original server (IE. lemmy.world) goes down then nothing works for you. In that situation you have to switch to a new server to be able to view anything, and likely need to create a new account on that server. There's some other catches to this as well that makes it more problematic than just that.

They were definitely told the "it doesn't matter what server you choose" line when they looked at lemmy, but in reality that's not entirely true if a server isn't that stable.
