  1. Re: I'm so glad... on The US Just Had the Most Q1 Layoffs in a Decade (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Then why did you put 'setting records on virtually every front' and 'probably the best our country has ever done' in quotes? Maybe the economy IS doing those things. As you said, the report only talked about job cuts, not the economy overall.
     
    You are total BS. You know EXACTLY why you posted that. You hate Trump. We get it. Time to grow up and move on.

    You are dumb. No one is saying downgrade the thread because they don't believe the report or the statistics, they are saying downgrade it because OF IT BEING POSTED ON SLASHDOT. The report is 100% correct.

    Yet, ONLY ONE report was posted here. I wonder why that is? The fact that YOU can't see what is happening is means you are oblivious. We get it: the editors hate Trump. I do too, but time to move on.

    And by the way: I know more than you about reading and understanding economic reports so you can take your passive-aggressive comments somewhere else.

    Um, apparently you haven't been paying attention to Slashdot lately. Why do you think there is a report about layoffs at all on SLASHDOT? The "editors" are a bunch of Millenials who haven't even seen a recession yet. And they hate Trump. Hey, I don't like Trump either. But to pretend that he is destroying the economy is an insult to the country. We are more than one guy and who are President is doesn't define us.

    Because we all know WHY this article was posted. We don't like Trump, he is destroying things, etc etc etc.

    196,000 jobs were added in March. During the same quarter 186,000 jobs on average were added per month. Certain industries are getting ready for a recession (including the financial industry).

    Not sure what you are talking about. Mining companies for example destroyed much of America back in your Grandfathers day. Industry have zero controls over oversight. And the Unions didn't care about anything about "stakeholder" capitalism.

    yeah companies always fire those people first when they hit a downswing. I would think those development houses are always in a boom and bust cycle as most games only make a lot of money for a short period of time.

    That makes sense too. Plus the engines now come with support for networking/multiplayer. I know zero about game programming but I would think most of the time now is creating custom assets.

  12. Not as many people needed on Making Video Games Is Not a Dream Job (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Essentially game development is now using a engine (like Unreal, etc) and hooking up scripts and creating assets. That is why so many "big" games look like clones at this point.

    This is the entire end game of the corporations. Complete lockin and rental. Unbreakable DRM and monitoring. This is the future. Eventually they won't allow you to even connect to the Internet without a "virtual desktop"

  21. I don't know about Linux Mint, but Linux in general is driving a huge part of our economy, but Linux developers aren't rich. They should be. The friggin secretaries at Uber and Lyft are going to be rich and much of their infrastructure runs on Linux. Linux developers are not appreciated enough.

    Tesla WILL go bankrupt eventually. It might take another 5 years. They have way too much debt. It doesn't matter though, they sell a tiny number of cars, even though you Tesla nuts think they are the most important company on the planet.

    Tesla sells cars to the rich. They are EXPENSIVE. Pretending they are "winning" is a joke. If you cared about EVs you would be looking at other companies, not Tesla.
