it allows you to write graphics code in a backend-independent manner (supporting vulkan and metal for example), looking a little closer, it looks like a nice level of abstraction over various rendering backends 👀
as much as i hate elon musk tho, it is a sort of reasonable strategy in case you’re trying to prevent incurring further hosting charges while you’re migrating 🤷♀️
not sure why he can’t just pay the hosting bill but whatever, that’s secondary i guess
do you have access to their financial reports? otherwise how can one make such claims wrt to profitability (which is the issue at hand)
like, i kinda see it wrt to the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)
i’m assuming that cessation of twitter’s existence (due to lack of funds taken up by skyrocketing hosting bills) would be an even worse strategy for retaining users and maintaining desirable stock value
i don’t really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter
