One thing to also note, is that grocery margins are tight after they give shareholders and c level staff hundreds of millions of dollars. In other words, if you’re not intent on making a profit and distributing that profit only to billionaires and friends, there’s plenty of space to subsidize costs even before accounting for tax breaks (which probably net even) and controlled rent factors.
People shouldn’t get wealthy off selling groceries while people go hungry.
Also, statistically, white cars get in fewer accidents. They’re easily visible during the day and more visible at night. And as you stated, white is a common fleet car color (maybe for this reason) and so it helps have a sense of anonymity, which some prize. There are far more white ford f150s than bright blue f150s.
Sure, they need a drastic redirect on what games they’re making and their shitty launcher. They need to return to making games people want to buy, instead of shoveling crap.
This requires fairly compensated labor.
Yes and no. Cash on hand is just what they have in the bank. Ubisoft isn’t cash flow negative, they have revenue of 2.5 billion USD per year. They lost 160 million dollars in 2025 but made 270 million in 2024. So at their 2025 rate, they can afford to pay all their employees they had in 2025, at their 2025 rates, for nearly 5 years. If they actually have good leadership and release good games that people buy, they’ll make money like in 2024 and be more than fine.
I don’t disagree on them having hard times.
I disagree that their only course of action is to layoff entire studios that actually generate their revenue.
Their stock price is 4.50 a share, and they have 780 million cash on hand. It’s still a huge drop from their high of course, but they have enough money they can pay their employees, you know, the ones who generate the value. Screw shareholders, they should be obligated to their employees.
I’ll look into this, but at first blush this is just mostly tool calling with RAG. This does not prevent a whole host of issues with AI, and doesn’t really prevent lying. The general premise here is to put tight guard rails on how it can interact with data, and in some cases entirely forcing a function / tool path with macros. I am not really sure this would work any better than just a stateful and traditional search algorithm on your own data sources, and would require much less hardware / battery / requirements and would be much more portable.
I like the effort, but this feels a bit like trying to make everything look like a nail.
Yep. This is why you have to code your language to things that are emotionally evocative to them. To some Christians, it’s using the world evil (“this action is evil”). To others it’s using the word weak (“this makes him look really weak”).
Edit: and to be clear, it doesn’t actually need to be logical. You can say something like “his makeup makes him look weak” or “I heard that he sings in a falsetto, that’s super weird”. It doesn’t matter (by definition, it doesn’t need to be logical). What matters is repeatedly associating a negative stimulus with the target position you’re trying to dislodge (or positive stimulus for a position you want held, but humans in America and maybe generally tend to be very profoundly negative averse). The reason these people are hear is because this association game has been played very long and very hard. It is the basis of propaganda.
I kinda hope some people join to sabotage from within
It looks and feels a bit like windows with the theming it has out of the box. So it’s probably an easier on ramp and possibly recommended in “what Linux is most like windows” google searches and the like.
Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.
Essentially it is an alternative to chromium based web browser engines. The other (major) web browser engines are WebKit for iOS and Gecko for Firefox. You can see a list at Wikipedia.
That’s where rent control and tax breaks come in, as well as scale if you’re opening multiple stores. I’m not aware of a large non profit grocery chain.
