With the end result of enshittification, people will migrate if their experience is bad enough. Google wants to strike a balance between making as much money as humanly possible and making the search experience at least decent enough to retain the majority of their users.

I have no experience in world building or legal stuff, but I would imagine proof might be part of the actions leading up to said event, such as planning and preparing to execute said plan.

Then, disproving might be showing a chain of events that might lead to an accidental predation.

I think if this is implemented properly, both players should be acting like the trophy was a challenge to get, even rating it the same difficulty.

I'm imagining in game like Hollow Knight, boss fights have movesets, and given your internal difficulty score', harder/more varied movesets can be used.

It would be beneficial for people who don't have much experience with platformers/fighting games, and gives experienced players a challenge.

I'm not sure how them losing a part of their potential revenue stream does that...

It's not as if Google or Apple rely soley on IAPs for revenue.

All due respect (which is none), I don't care what you think. Plus, this isn't even an ad for Splunk, which you'd know if you actually read the article.

Edit: Also, it actually straight up says that the article writer works for a competitor. Braindead comment.

That's funny.

They've always experimented with new stuff.

I just read the article, it's actually pretty interesting.

The TL;DR is that there is so much observable data out there (exponentially more than expected), that Datadog, which isn't optimized to deal with that, caused their prices to need to hike.

There are two options listed as alternatives:

  1. Self host but it might not be cheaper
  2. Buy into a company that is from the ground up focusing on dealing with that massive amount of data.

I will second the drying filament statement. It's genuinely shocking the difference it can make. Pretty much every metric is improved by using properly dried filament.

There are also food dehydrator mods out there on thingiverse/printables to convert a cylindrical dehydrator to work for filament without butchering the stands that come with it. Plus side is you can also make beef jerky with it :P

I think it's funny that you think any country will have even 5% of their population actually come out and protest ANYTHING.

I did some googling and in the US, the 2017 women's march was the largest march in US history with a whopping... 1.7% population participation.

And yes, there are some protests that had a big portion of their populations come out. Take 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests. Roughly 2 million people came out and protested, roughly over a quarter of the population. And you know what happened? Nothing. People were beaten, died, and China still got Hong Kong. And this was while there was still some local control of HK. Keep in mind, this is a people DEFENDING THEIR COUNTRY from an effective HOSTILE TAKEOVER and they got a quarter. A war taking .2%? Even if 1% were impacted, there's no shot people are going to risk protesting when the world is doing that for them.

I think as an initial go, I would recommend just getting raspbian/Linux in general onto a pi or other board, and messing with the CLI. Just having a pi and being comfortable trying things out is huge. Plus, with it being on a micro SD card, you can very easily break things and wipe the card and recreate your setup.

It's an insight because many people can't drop thousands on top of the line gear. Yes streaming is expensive, but if a family has disposable income, odds are they're going to go for the lower hanging fruit and just get the streaming package, because the alternative is saving for X months/years for parts that are going to be useful, yes, but also completely wipe out savings.
