Absolutely, this change makes it harder for people to quickly scroll away ads at the top & for ad blockers to seamlessly hide ads. With ad blockers your first page will be mostly empty & make google more annoying to use.

In your guys opinion, is that good or bad? Privately funded would mean proprietary & profit driven implementation for such a crucial technology (if successful). I personally don’t like it.

Oh that’s interesting, I wasn’t aware of this. Is it an unspoken policy? Or its an over reliance on “innovation first” pseudo-management?

Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.

Makes a lot of sense. There doesn’t seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don’t stick around long enough.

Also seems like a shitty get-outta-jail-free card. With no design in place, timelines and acceptance criteria can’t be enforced. “Of course we’re done now, we just decided that we’re done!”

RedHat source is accessible to registered red hat users. That is NOT open source. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream

Yeah - this seems to be IBM’s next step in making RHEL a gateway to IBM’s AI trap.

Image mode builds on the success of open source projects such as bootc

I always think its icky when companies advertise open source projects in their propriety closed source one.

I think a lot of memes are missing the main point of how it was caught, the exploit caused a spike in CPU usage for a network call. That made no sense to the guy Messiah who found/reported it. FOSS software’s strength is the number of critical eyes looking over each line of code you put out!

I remember reading that the production of the movie is spun off to a separate new company, which is in practical terms the studio itself. This new company then “leases” the rights to the studio for pennies. The studio then sells stakes of the movie earnings to investors to create funding for the production. Many local/state governments encourage the arts by giving tax credits and/or funding if a movie is shot in their state. If the movie tanks the dummy company declares bankruptcy and no one gets paid, except the studio.

Perhaps WB realized they can skip the release entirely and make back their money with tax credits by shelving the movie, artists + technicians + tax payers can eat shit.

I don’t know if this is true since I saw this on the internet. If anyone knowledgeable is reading this, Please correct me !

Wow all those rumors Apple was making a car were true
