I'm a big fan of tiling window managers like i3 or awesome (awesome wm). Awesome is the one I use. It's tiling and the entire interface is built from scripts that they encourage you to modify. Steep learning curve but once you get it how you like, there's nothing like it.

That is usually more incompetence than malice. They write a game that requires different operation on amd vs Nvidia devices and basically write an

If Nvidia: Do x; Else if amd: Do Y; Else: Crash;

The idea being that if the check for amd/Nvidia fails, there must be an issue with the check function. The developers didn't consider the possibility of a non amd/Nvidia card. This was especially true of old games. There are a lot of 1990s-2000s titles that won't run on modern cards or modern windows because the developers didn't program a failure mode of "just try it"

Could be worse; we pay for an unlimited WebEx site license and they still insist on using zoom :/

If I were a large shareholder, I'd demand a lot more than half goes to growth or my own dividends.

What's extra insane about the google one, Pichai's salary of 225m divided over the 10k workers fired is a staggering 22.5k/yr. If you assume the average tech salary of a remote google employee is somewhere in the 50k-100k range, that's 2.5k-5k / 10k workers that could have been saved by cutting Pichai instead.

Forget societal ethics, how do you justify to shareholders cutting ten thousand salaries worth of jobs and giving half the money to the CEO?
