@McMongoose@coolboymew@ChristiJunior a lot of people living in these countries either want to escape it or will want to be rich instead so they can escape it at some point or at least have a higher standard of living if their crabs in a bucket extended family doesn't pressure them into giving them money
It's not about learning the theory of why you do something. It's about learning how to do it and make the money. It's learning about how to be conformist as shit for whatever your wagie boss wants, so you're spending millions of dollars buying up talent from Full Sail and CalArts to animate The Emoji Movie or whatever crap they churn out.
@coolboymew@ChristiJunior I wouldn't be shocked if the scam call centers pay more or something, given all the ones in those busts "live like kings".
Hustle culture is strong there, along with the mindset of seeing the first world as a bunch of stupid people with money. If you watch enough scambait videos you'll notice that theme, many of them don't even hide how they view people in the USA. That old stupid lady is their personal piggybank.
@ChristiJunior@coolboymew This is also why people in third world countries will wagecuck it for a western corpo. They get to pay people in a third world country $9 an hour.
@coolboymew@ChristiJunior The other reason they can do this outsourcing thing (different from H1Bs and the like) is to cut costs.
To you, it's a unsustainable wage. To someone in India, Russia, or Mexico, it's a live like a king wage. This sounds crazy; but here's the thing. You can either take a dead end job at a gas station where the minimum wage is PER MONTH or something crazy, or you can take a job as a programmer at a company that is overworking you but you get plenty of money for you and your leeching parents/extended family who wants some of that too. image.png image.png image.png
"Boeing has also expanded a design center in Moscow. At a meeting with a chief 787 engineer in 2008, one staffer complained about sending drawings back to a team in Russia 18 times before they understood that the smoke detectors needed to be connected to the electrical system, said Cynthia Cole, a former Boeing engineer who headed the engineers’ union from 2006 to 2010."
If you're only going to pay skilled programmers $15 an hour (which even pre-scamdemic was getting to be low), you're only going to be able to get third worlders who can "live like kings" from that wage.
@coolboymew@ChristiJunior like I heard from someone on Telegram, some guy tried to get a job there as a programmer and they offered him fucking $15 an hour to work there (he was working at a defense contractor before this) and he was escorted out by security after blowing up at how much of a joke $15 an hour was.
@anonymous@Zerglingman@mia@kirby mame loads a zip file of ROMs and it changes from version to version when say internal microcode is dumped and the emulator needs it.
@anonymous@Zerglingman@mia@kirby dude some friend of mine was bitching that he couldn't get the rom working for the game he wanted because he couldn't find some zip file he was googling the rom filename
@mint@Zerglingman@amerika@p@kirby@VD15 Probably. A lot of console hacks were done via webkit/browser pwning, including the PS3, Vita, PS4, Wii U, 3ds, and more
