I think they will have 2000 more.

This is classic information warfare. Its been pretty well documented over the past 10 years. It feels like we all know it exists but still fall for it all the same.

not really, different projects require different things. You want to do a big hire of X skilled professional then when its done you can get rid of them and get they Y skilled professional required for the next project. Thats better than trying to transfer them over.

you think by the end of the year Meta will have 10,000 less employees than it did at the start? I dont think thats likely. They will either increase employee count or slightly reduce due to how cooked the economy is but they will hire back a majority of those 10,000 jobs.

yes but America is not a sane part of the world and its always operated like this. To be surprised this is happening in a country where this is normal is odd. Meta’s employee count grows every year(except 1 year after covid)

becoming? They have been common for the past 25 years.

10,000 fewer jobs means 10,000 fewer jobs

No because the reporting is only on the layoffs they wont cover the hiring that will happen next month. These tech companies dont lay off people then operate with 10,000 less staff. Meta’s employee count has increased every year except the year after covid.

These are workers in an industry where these work patterns are common, they make far above average wage and can work from anywhere in the world. Their job mobility is very high so why feel sorry for them? This isnt the same as the only steel mill in town laying off 1000 workers.

So people should be forever employed? What kind of childish world view is this

These people work at Meta, they can get another job. These arent low mobility workers.

What is the actual issue with these layoffs? Why do they always get spammed around and everyone gets mad. Big companies churn employees whats the problem? Do we need to celebrate when they hire 10% back in the next month.

hes probably worse at software issues than his audience. Hes always been a hardware guy

Yes, most people dont see their operating system as a Jenga tower to be knocked down and built up again.

thats suprising. Every linux yt video on cosmic has been riddled with issues and when i installed it in a VM there was a memory leak that made it unusable.

There is nothing wrong with installing linux at a LAN. Its quick to install and configure, its actually a layup situation for linux. If Linus had installed it at home he would have had an equally poor experience since the issues were completely out of his control. PopOS shouldnt have labeled Cosmic as production ready and shipped it. Valve should have fixed left4dead2 as its been a known issue for 5 years.

I think this perspective is insane. They should absolutely not approached switching to linux by leveraging expert linux advice through their youtube contacts. Its fine for Linus to have issues switching to linux, most people do and the video wasnt just Linus having issues it was also Luke and Elijah having a good experience. When it comes to switching to linux Linus is an average user, he doesnt know about the system and is going in with little experience. LTT has gotten these pain points fixed and their video did not come off as “haha linux bad” did you watch it?

As a linux user I want linux to be an approachable thing, I would be pissed if it was presented as a thing that required expert consultation from wendel.

Then he belongs in jail same as Trump

Luke has had problems he mentions on the WAN show. But they two really arent comparable because Luke’s use case is completely different hes much closer to the average person. He only uses a web browser and some light gaming.

This really shouldn’t be a hot take but I think the people here will disagree. “Linus unironically did nothing wrong in his linux challenge video” The linux community really shouldnt act like he was using it wrong because its a terrible look.

No reasonable person can pretend there are no issues with linux. Sure you can get good at using linux and not run into these issues but they still exist and people will still run into them and you shouldnt blame the person.

no pewdiepie 1000% messed things up on linux. the difference is he didnt show it in his videos

Do you run cosmic?
