This is called capitalism and I really don't understand how people that tweet this think what economic reality is in the world and USA ? If only they could read and understand.
translucyd · 2 years ago
Because people don’t understand what capitalism is, only what it was. The most ironical part is that the ones who predicted what is going on are the communists.

The inputs are still great for maintaining consistency and a11y. I generally do all my own layouts, and then use Bulma for form elements.

Please dont take this as criticism and just a question:

Why native English speakers like so much to shorten words so much? To me, a non native, a11y reads like ally and in no means reads accessibility. Any tips on that?

For a similarly fun and unexpectedly twisty deep dive, youtuber Hbomberguy has a documentary on the history and origins of the now iconic Roblox "oof" sound. A rabbit hole that's way deeper than it has any right to be.

FYI for any Googlers - On the "Sorry, Gemini advanced isn't available for you" page, clicking "Learn More" gives you a (presumably internal) SSO sign-on (links to https://support.corp.google.com/googleone?ai_premium)

My God, this page is straight from the 90s! Nostalgic.

There's a very obvious utility in the US which should be able to prevent this: The US Postal Service.

It's federally required to exist, and services all Americans already. Basic banking services should be one of the things it is expanded to provide in a minimal, safe fashion (i.e. no loans or lending, but guaranteed electronic banking and funds transfer services).

We actually have this in Brazil. The mail provider from the state is in far away areas the only bank that exist in some places!

I got confused about the name "ipê" (first time I hear it, my Portuguese is basic at most), it's also known as "lapacho" in Argentina, "tajy" in Paraguay and "araguaney" in Venezuela.

Ipe is an indigenous word. Congress from Tupi languages probably.

HotTake: the result of this should be to nationalize Amazon to be the defacto national provider of AWS services, delivery, logistics, and backstopped retail services.
translucyd · 2 years ago
But that would nationalize profits as well. What kind a world do you think that's a good thing??? /s
translucyd commented on Unity’s new pricing: A wake-up call on the importance of open source   ramatak.com/2023/09/15/un... · Posted by u/TMM2K

Unity was a dream, or a lie, the lie that you can make games without a somewhat competent software team.

Now TFA gives hope to another dream, or a lie, the dream that magical open source fairies can let you keep getting away without a competent software team. It won't.

Find those programmers, build a team, build a company where this team has a place, adjust your business model (i.e. raise your prices) to where you can afford to pay them.

Excellent take.

People think that making good games is cheap and anyone can do.

Making games, maybe. Good ones? I don’t think so.
