  • They are talking about scalpers, not the company selling the tickets.

    Landlords are like scalpers: they go in and buy up the supply, so they can resell (rent out) for a higher price.

    The people originally doing the selling (artists in the case of scalpers. Developers in the case of landlords) see nothing of the increased price.

  • Yeah, no.

    DDOS attacks cost very little, and most people could easily afford to buy access to a network for ddosing a site like Lemmy.world.

    We regularly have to deal with students who have bought DDOS attacks because they want to try to get exams cancelled and such.

  • You got that one wrong.

    vscode is open source and released under a MIT license. Then the binaries they build have telemetry and such and is released under another license that is less FOSS friendly.

    VS Codium is based on that vscode source code from Microsoft, and i pretty much the same thing, but without the telemetry and such.

  • I'm not saying it is everyone. I'm in It myself and in a union.

    But even here (Norway) there is always a lot of tech and IT people who will start with the "I don't need a union, because i can get a better pay etc. by myself" whenever talk of unions in these sectors come up.

  • Tech/IT workers in not only the US, but mostly globally, have only themselves to blame though, since there is this weird anti union mindset that has infected the whole sector.

    Whenever unions are mentioned on sysadmin related subreddits or communities, almost everyone is very negative, which is a shame.

  • I did, when I realised it would take a while and started looking elsewhere.

    But since they officialy do not condone it, and have some language in their TOS and warranty, i didn't bother with it, since while anything they might do against it in regards to warranty wouldn't hold up in a legal sense, i didn't want to be the one to test that if it should happen.

  • That is great! When the fuck can i buy one?

    Been two years now since i first heard about Framework from the first LTT video on it (just checked at that video actualy came out in july 2021), and i was allready looking at replacing my laptop, so i thought Framework would be great to get.

    Now two years have passed, and they still aren't available in my region. Couldn't realy delay the replacement any more, so now i have ended up getting a different laptop, meaning even i Framework became available here soon, i won't buy a new laptop for 5-6 years at least.

  • The same argument can be made that digital allows for a multiplying of films being made at shorter run times

    That ignores the creative side of movie making though. Yes, they could make more short movies, but they need a story and script to make the movies from, and that is something that hasn't become any faster to create with time.

    If you are going to make more movies, then you need more people on that process. People who might not be as good at it. You would then quickly end up with a lot more "direct to video" quality movies.

  • Bloat is a problem that a lot of stories have because their creators can’t recognize what needs to be in there and what’s just filler. Sure, there are moments and genres that rely on lingering, but in general more isn’t better, it’s just more.

    Oh yeah, there are definitly makers that abuse it to make longer movies that don't need to be long. Just a bunch of filler that doesn't realy add to the story. I can't mention any on the top of my head, but i know i have seen movies where that was a thought i had.
