It sounds that way, because it is that way.

Furthermore, he's really only talking about the Shakespeare interpretation of that, which took plenty of liberties with the historical accounts.

There is absolutely no record of him ever saying that. In fact, the opposite is true. We have accounts that he was mostly just screaming and crying in pain the whole time and didn't say a damn thing.

TL;DR; The board basically caved to the demands of the 500+ employees that penned and signed a letter telling them to reinstate Sam Altman and disband the current board.

In addition to reinstating him, most of the board is "quitting".

In this case, the employees won out.

Even if it doesn't, the consequences of the board ignoring this is catastrophic to the company. One way or another, the workers will have a victory here.

That's not what murder is, and you know it.

Stop it with this weak rhetoric.

Yeah, most likely. This lets his rich buddies give him money for bribes and shit and it acts as "income"

The question doesn't need to be hypothetical. I am moving to a country exactly like that. From the US.

Lack of modern health care coverage alone is enough to justify it. A bonus is that the quality of life across the board is significantly higher.

Correct. This is largely for a time pre Musk.

Sometimes you have to pay for keeping things free, if that makes any sense.

FOSS can't exist in a vacuum. The developers spend a lot of time on things and they need to be paid for their efforts, otherwise we won't get great products like Sync.

If you want things that are well maintained and supported, then there has to be income for those owners to provide those services.

Sync for lemmy is a top tier client. I'm willing to pay to get and support that model. It's not like the 17 dollars a year is a big deal. I spend more than that on a single sushi roll sometimes.

What? It was the easiest move I've ever made. Deleted a 13+ year old account. I'm loving it here. Fuck Reddit.

He's been doing this for a while now. He fired the entire PR department and set it to respond with poop emojis and every article editor that's reached out for a comment has had this as their reply.

He's a man-child. And one of the most powerful and influential people on earth.

This is far from ok. ☹️

But so it goes...

“It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us – but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses.” — Carl Sagan

This one has been my go to for years and years.

It gives me comfort. In that we probably won't every get there, because of our evolutionary failures as a species, but that's ok. Because the next species or evolution of our kind will stand a better chance.

Not sure I agree with all of his points, but it's a start that we're at least publicly acknowledging this as the end of an era (for good IMO)
