I may be misunderstanding how it all works, but the venues choose the ticket service, not the artists.

Do NOT blame the devs for this. They are not the ones to decide the direction of the product or the priority of the tickets they work. Blame upper management for making these poor decisions and the product managers for being spineless and not pushing back.
So they either did not do proper finance analysis or they are hiding numbers from shareholders, neither of which inspire confidence.
Why bother being committed if the DNC isn’t going to support you?
(Despite what I just said these candidates should be committed and the DNC and GOP need to start acting in the best interest of their constituents and stop propping up unqualified candidates.)
Killing education has been a GOP cornerstone for at least a century now. Education teaches people to think for themselves and make educated decisions, and those types of people would never vote Republican. The GOP are grooming children to vote for them to let them stay in power.
Their politics isn’t “support the next generation”. It is “how can the next generation support us”. Education is the antithesis of this ideal.
There has been legal precedent that terms of use are not legally binding since they don’t expect customers to read it before clicking the I Agree button. They have made the agreements so long and put them in everything that they concluded there is no possible way anybody would ever read all of it for everything.
Aptly named because while they think they are living in the clouds the house sits on a rotting branch that is just waiting to snap under the weight.
That’s the thing - you think it has a negative effect. It might, but we need real studies to back that up. Laws shouldn’t be made because of unsubstantiated feelings. If you want something meaningful to come out of these things you should advocate for unbiased mass studies.
Nobody wants to invest 2 months paycheck into hardware that the developer is going to drop support for in 6 months.
Hardware is too expensive for the average Joe to buy and those of us who can afford it are tired of being burned by companies that provide subpar service then drop support for the thing. Cool, bleeding edge tech means little if there is little use for it or if nobody can afford it.
For a brief moment I worked in that industry as a programmer. The whole point is not to find the most qualified candidate but to find the one that fits into the company culture the most in order to reduce turnover. These algorithms will throw away applications from people of color because they have “behaviors not in line with the company culture” or applications from disabled people because they would “not react properly to certain situations”.
Of course they aren’t explicitly rejecting these people, but the questions and answers on the tests for applications are specifically and painstakingly crafted to filter out these people without making it clear what type of person the question is trying to filter out.
This doesn’t necessarily have to do with the AI in question, but my point is that the entire hiring/firing process is totally fucked, and companies are constantly looking for ways to get around discrimination laws.
The term betrayal implies they once had the peoples’ best interest in mind and were working on their behalf. The party may have betrayed the people 200 years ago, but what we are seeing today is not a betrayal.

Game dev layoffs 2023
Take your pick of article. There are numerous to choose from, and most of them give a rough number and their sources.
In game dev.
January hasn’t ended yet and we are at 60% of the total layoffs of last year.
Hot take - your vote does matter…until it doesn’t. You can win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote and the latter is the one that matters. Your vote only matters in your state.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I still play at 1080. It looks fine to me and I care more about frames than fidelity. More VRAM isn’t going to help me here so it is not a factor when looking at video cards. Ignoring the fact I just bought a 4070, I wouldn’t not skip over a 4070 Super just because it has 12GB of RAM.
This is a card that targets 1440p. It can pull weight at 4k, but I’m not sure if that is justification to slam it for not having the memory for 4k.
Not a hot take at all. Asking someone to go from a GUI heavy operating system to a command line heavy one and be just as productive is lunacy. Like all major changes it is important to ween off the old thing.
My biggest hurdle with the switch has been permission related issues, and you can’t deal with those cleanly with a UI, and every help thread under the sun throws out a bunch of command line commands giving a solution without explaining why those changes are needed. It may seem like Unix 101 to experienced Linux users, but it is really cryptic to newcomers coming from operating systems that are…cough more lenient with their permissions.
There is also a mentality that UIs are much more idiot proof than command line. UIs are written by people who actually know the OS so we can’t accidentally delete our home folder because of a typo. It is a very legitimate concern.
There are a lot of people who like saying pretty things when their name is visible but when it comes to the anonymous vote they will not vote the same way. This goes down both sides of the aisle, but people don’t stand back and take an objective view of their parties and what their mouthpieces actually stand for.
For most things, yes. This is absolutely not one of them.
I’ve never really thought about it this way. Good point.
