Plus you can't say it's because Trump's terrible economics so safer to blame AI.

I asked a buddy who works at one of the Big 4 and he said its the remnants of the Great Resignation:

Kind of made sense to me, I saw some of those outcomes happen in a former employer as well, they had an influx of income during 2020 that was not going to stay around forever (restaurant industry).

Let me guess, because you, yourself, are not an employee so you don't mind because it does not apply to you ?

It's been a fact of life for as long as I can remember. If you using the companies resources, they are well within their rights to monitor what you are doing.

Just don't use the company stuff and you are fine.

I agree with you. But do you remember when we could chat with a colleague about how much of a doofus our boss was without worrying that some automated system would possibly notify the boss about it? Nowadays big brother is always watching.

You don’t know what wage theft is. It’s not something an employee does.

because he is smart.

he uses personal cellphone to browse reddit and hacker news

be smart like the top poster

Right.

But where are Frontpage and Dreamweaver now ?

They were replaced by other WYSIWYG website editors like Wix and Squarespace. These replacements are evidence in favor of the original claim. The specific products are irrelevant.

It took a VERY VERY long time for these replacement products to appear.

It. Was. Bad. But Apple managed to strongarm telcos and it came with free unlimited 3G.

Strike that, not 3G, 2G and Edge !

Except it does not work ex-nihilo and the bubble busrt is going to be painful

It doesn't have to; it just has to be good enough for any idiot to operate it, and get good enough results.

Have you ?

I've been a ddg user full time for 15+ years and I did see it improve quite lot over time. But quality dropped when Yandex was cut off.

Lately, I've noticed YET AGAIN being trapped in a bubble with results being to clever for their own good ... I did leave Google PRECISELY for the bubble effect ...

Not even mentioned the AI shenanigans with ridiculous results at times. DDG is not immune to enshitification. Way too many managers thinks they know better than the user ... they don't.

More often than people would like to admit, Google IS the scammer...

Sadly you are right. They are billing my Euro charges from a UK (non Euro) bank, which adds 2% money exchange fee on everything.

And people did but it is hard against Redhat that has actively made harder and harder to use Gtk+ outside GNOME.

What changes have been implemented in GTK that make it harder to use outside of a GNOME environment?

practically everything in GTK 4. It removed menu bars ffs

As far as I can tell, every major version of GTK should be thought of as an entirely separate project, and nothing in GTK 4 made GTK 3 or GTK 2 harder to use.

Please link me to the python3 gtk2 library so that I can migrate all my python2 gtk2 software to python3 without rewriting the entire UI. Thanks in advance!

what does make GTK2 harder to use is that it is not supported anymore. you can't build or run GKT2 based apps on new systems without building the GTK2 libraries yourself.

hum, well, not that convincing :

Failed to open window: WebGPU context not initialized. Was Platform::run() called?

Not being able to load the component gallery does not inspire great confidence.

Yeah it just doesn't have a good error message if your browser doesn't support WebGPU.

It's not really designed for the web though so I wouldn't hold that against it.

Fair enough. A little warning would go a long way though.

Indeed. It was, sadly, more important than popular. Which, to my eyes, comfort the generated content theory.
