Some industries are saying they are completely unviable around 40-60%. See the recent Gamers Nexus video about the computer hardware industry.

Some companies can survive 10-30% by cutting margins and passing to the consumer, but there are entire classes of product where demand will just evaporate if you raise prices 20-30%, especially budget and value products.

It's impossible to reshore manufacturing to stop this too. Every single economist is saying that there is a 0% chance that the way Trump has weaponized tariffs will cause any meaningful production in the US. The only outcome from this is empty shelves and stagflation.

Yeah, it's a distro of kubernetes.

Most apps run best as a container, but for appliances and legacy apps they have Openshift virtualization which runs VMs in the cluster by running KVM inside of docker.

The open source tech there is called Kubevirt. All VMs are 1st class citizens in the kubernetes API, so it is actually easier to run than VMware/Proxmox if you already have a Kubernetes cluster and you're not doing complex stuff with qcow images or VM migrations.

I use both containers and VMs a lot with Kubernetes at work.

Everybody is moving to Openshift or public cloud

it's better for everyone if you negotiate layoffs and firings beforehand. No surprises and everyone gets their day in court. That is how the union system works in Sweden.

American MBAs and HR managers are too cowardly to have tough discussions with their employees.

Try using the monado runtime instead of SteamVR.

See Kawane Rio's 15 minute lightning talk about VR on Linux from this year's FOSDEM:

Small detail, those are pdf metadata tags, not EXIF metadata.

EXIF is based off the Tiff format and is one of three ways to store metadata in a jpeg file. XMP looks pretty similar to PDF metadata tags, but the tags shown mention PDF.

Being trapped in fork city is a special kind of hell

Isn't cloning font legal though? As compared to copying floppies which is punishable by death?

Quick google search points out this blog post for tips and tricks for prototyping stuff like game features in Rust: https://corrode.dev/blog/prototyping/

Definitely something that I'm going to try when I have to time to get back into Rust. Probably good advice for most people who are unhappy with Rust. Being attracted by Rust's unique optimization tools too early on seems like a big beginner trap.

Not here to doubt their decision, they had good reasons to switch.

For the sake of discussion though, would it have been easier though if they had focused more on abstractions with their code architecture? I haven't done any serious projects in Rust, but those issues with low-level coding and API thrash seem like more of a code architecture problem. Like, that example of a function signature seems like they should have bundled up their paperdoll logic more into a single "PaperdollLoadout" struct and moved that into a separate game logic function separate from the view related code. It's more code to write, but that's the up-front cost of strict type checking.

Modding and learning definitely seem like a big barrier for Bevy overall though.

One decision i will question is picking Unity over Godot, though maybe they were still reeling from the learning issues on Bevy.

There is no way that man has a master's degree

No. They paused the tariffs that were in response to the ongoing steel and aluminum tariffs when Trump lowered the "lib day" tariffs from 20% to 10%.

Don't forget the 80 hours a week of PoE2 grinding!

Interesting.

On the wifi router side, openwrt prefers mediatek cpus because they are the only company with fully open source wifi drivers.

steam hardware survey shows 17% AMD and 8% Intel

Meanwhile, Ubuntu is switching to uutils

Males sense. Technically, all chipset drivers are required to be open source since Linux is hard-copyleft open source.

I think that boils down to how ARM chipsets don't support mainline Linux. You need lots of patchsets which break over time.

I have to actively tell my grandfather who wanted to switch to Fedora to stop trying to use the command line lol, it's easier to remember the GUI. CLI isn't some big looming threat like it was in the 2010's.
