  • From videos I watched, the big issue is them losing their market position. They took a big hit when Apple ditched them and made their own chips. Now they’re losing to AMD and Nvidia in the server space. Their newest desktop chips are under-performing. The consumer market is getting more competitive with Qualcomm joining the space and Nvidia/AMD preparing ARM chips. They made a lot of factories for producing chips but it sounds like they’re struggling to lock in a major buyer. Now they’re ejecting tens of thousands of employees in the next few months because they’re hemorrhaging money.

    TL;DR they’re getting screwed from every front and either it will take them a long time to recover or they’re going to be left behind.










  • I wish we as a community could stop with this sense of superiority

    Not possible in a Linux community. They have only three jokes:

    • Fuck windows

    • I’m so smart for using the superior software stack (and everybody is an idiot for not switching)

    • and my personal favorite: constantly trying to trick people into using FOSS software by telling everybody they’re as good even in cases where they’re clearly not (bro please use GIMP it’s actually really good bro as soon as you understand its archaic 1998 user interface it’s just as good as photoshop bro please)
