@lmcdo@hachyderm.io Working on generating actually worthy content there, we'll see what happens.

@pilerks1 @markhachman Intel 3 is literally shipping in Xeon products, and soon in a Meteor Lake refresh that is shipping as Arrow Lake-U.

@markhachman The 5 nodes in 4 years has been invalidated for at least a year now. Both intel 3 and 20a are canceled

I'm having a little trouble understanding this new plan that Intel's 18A process is going to persist for three generations. If this happens, doesn't that invalidate Intel's breakneck "5 nodes in 4 years" strategy of the past few years?

@ZachLowe_NBA I've thought you have had measured takes overall on trades but I want to hear some thoughts on the whole "No Caleb Martin" thing in the hypothetical Lillard trade. I get Bam and Jimmy are off limits but isn't Caleb Martin almost the prototypical return piece?

@ruthluvsgsw I can only anecdotally note that Klay has a remarkably high uncontested number because he spends a high amount of time on the floor with Steph, and it has been noted in written work, and the opposite has been shown with Lillard, with his absence of help. I don't have 1v1 data.

@ruthluvsgsw Gotta compare contested numbers and uncontested numbers

@XboxP3 why is the Xbox home screen 90% an ad and 10% the discrete game pass app? Really cheapens the experience. I'm now less likely to use my Xbox.

@Fitz_Farseer @TheBioticGod @AzaelOfficial ngl I was just making a pun

@lmcdo_ @TheBioticGod @AzaelOfficial I wouldn’t go that far. I’m just saying I’m genuinely shocked it’s not there

I don't really get the hype around Baldur's Gate 3. Sure, the story is incredible, the combat is insanely deep, the graphics are amazing, there are countless ways to play and 17,000 different endings in the game... but you can't even choose the size of your dragons cock. 3/10

@Fitz_Farseer @TheBioticGod @AzaelOfficial without it the game is busted?

@TheBioticGod @AzaelOfficial I have to admit in this day and age I was surprised no such slider existed. It’s basically a requirement in a character creator, how do you miss it??

I still call it Kinko’s and it’s been Fed Ex Office since 2008. I’m never calling this X.

Unfollowing everyone that I've found on bsky, threads, or mastodon Aiming to close down for real by end of week

@TalalUnfiltered I'm not saying he shouldn't, but 23 is young enough to still have some growing up to do. If he thinks she's likely to grow up then could make sense, but doesn't make sense why the marriage was allowed/encouraged to happen from his side.

@terrajobst On the plus side, you can still get to Azure AD! On the downside, with all the redirects that happen now, I'm thinking it'll be around for weeks tops.

@RambeauJas87925 @naveenganglani The closest player in caliber to Bridges on the Heat is Bam, so is Bam going to Portland in the deal?

@naveenganglani This situation is pissing Heat fans off. KD trade was for 4 1st cam, bridges. The Heat is 1 first pick short which I know they will get it plus one of the rookies jovic or Jaquez it’s not going to get any better now and later it’s going to be much less

"If I'm the Trail Blazers, I don't give him away for nothing. If he wants to go to Miami, that's not a good fir for him for what they can give back. He's going to play for the Trail Blazers or he ain't going to play. The Trail Blazers have been great to Dame and [vice-versa], but this notion that they're going to have to give him away for nothing is just stupid. I'd hold firm if I'm the Trail Blazers." - Charles Barkley on the Dame trade situation.

No, it was not a joke. "Our paying customers need X, when will you fix it?" may not be the best way to introduce yourself to an open source project. #TodayInOpenSource

@GeoffreyHuntley @terrajobst Additionally, there's room for proper dual-licensing! Why not go the Qt route and offer devdiv FOSS, with limitations that promote corporations to use the paid commercial version? Yea it's not a FOSS dream but it's a model that something like 30% of Linux desktop users accept.

@GeoffreyHuntley @terrajobst I don't agree that it's Balmer-esque, the problem is that the line between FOSS and proprietary needs to move. .NET should be open, including devdiv. GUI frameworks and tooling around .NET should be proprietary and require a subscription for commercial use.

@hoopsjock Are we really ignoring that Lillard opted into Team USA instead of doing his abdomen repair on a timeline that got him back for the season? Chances are that team does well enough to make more favorable trades and pick up a few decent signings.

Joe Cronin and the Portland Trail Blazers are actually trying to turn their fan base against Damian Lillard to save face. This has always been their end game. If you defend Cronin, you are part of the problem too because you are helping spread that message for them.

@diandraann Nah this was bull. We tanked one season cuz Lillard played Team USA and delayed his abdomen surgery way too long, and in the process lost most of our good players cuz management wasn't willing to pay repeater for a non-playoff team.

This is such an end of an era for Blazers fans. I think there will be a lot of frustration watching this go down when Dame was so vocal about wanting to win with Portland. I wouldn’t be surprised to watch fans turn against the team now to be honest. It’s hard to watch.

The deep irony is it's about to bite him again with Miami. Their underpaid role players are fleeing to get paid. Jimmy > Grant and Bam > Nurk, but they don't have a path back. They have no assets post-trade to get back any depth, so it'll basically be like every team Dame's had.

My fadeaway Twitter rant is that the trade demand by Lillard moves him to parallel with Clyde. Lillard spent his star equity on trying to swing for the fences instead of luring difference-maker mid-level players, and he's blind to how important they are.

@diandraann Yea I'm gonna be pissed if he goes to the Heat though. I'd like to actually get a single interesting asset back if we're going to lose him.
