It really is starting to feel that way.
NYC and the costs are NOWHERE NEAR offset.
Then again, that is primarily because landlords are disgustingly greedy.
No, most people would not.
Most people would share, or hit a point and think "OK, that's enough for anything I really want personally... I'm gonna try and help out now.."
Nobody in their right mind should want a world where they are privately wealthy, but publically impoverished.
Because then, you have no security.
Someone will always be gunning for you.
You can stave it off by layering brute force, and laws, but there is no such thing as 100% secure. Eventually something will make it through, and wreak havoc. And because all you now care about, over everything, is whatever paltry "wealth" you've managed to secure, the catastrophe is magnified orders of magnitude. You have no real friends or community to turn to, nobody who would support you if you didn't have the most, and the rules didn't make you "king" because of it.
It's a sickness.
Given the recent successful union drives for graduate workers, we may well see that.
I'm rather hoping RISC-V comes up and eats their lunch before it happens.
My reasoning for this is that I've lost too many hours trying to kludge finnicky ARM boards into supporting proper mainline video acceleration. It's awful. It's horrible. It's a waste of time.
The silly x86 SBC I got worked out of the box with OneAPI with no complaints at all.
The ARM boards ran the gamut from gibberish/garbage rendering, dropped frames, washed out images because of cheap tricks to up performance.
I know this is more down to the weak (and proprietary) video cores included on these boards.. but after spending a significant amount of time playing with them, I'm going to say "No, thank you."
I really don't care until I can buy one. In the meantime I have a few hdd's and an old LTO4 drive...
isn't riccitiello the same fuck who was behind EA's sharp turn bitchwards? and who even Sleepy Joe called "A creep"
A supposed non-profit making billions in profit, then denying their workers bonuses (many of whom are paid so badly they are on public assistance a la the walmart model of employment) and then the c-suite execs giving themselves multimillion dollar bonuses and trying to hide it?
Fuck these people.

But seriously.. i burned out of EVE many moons ago, just too grindy.
As a Civil Servant... definitely a manager, too.
I managed to migrate all mine to libvirt when I dumped esxi. They dropped support for the old opteron I was running at the time, so I couldn't upgrade to v7. Welp, Fedora Server does just as well and I've been moving the VM hosted services into containers anyway.
Ofc... well, we'll see what IBM does with RedHat. Probably something like this eventually. They simply can't help themselves.
