I’m convinced he doesn’t need any of that, and if he decides to publish another game he can damn well take his time doing so.

He doesn’t owe you shit - he doesn’t need the money - he’s doing this because he loves to make games.

Why the fuck would you impose bureaucracy onto free creative expression? Just for your own selfish enjoyment?

Shame on you

As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.

Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.

They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

Yeah I’m speaking from experience here in that about a third of my pay is in stock.

I wouldn’t say my pay is low though, for what it’s worth.

Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.

My mid 20s were when I hit a major mental breaking point. If I hadn’t had a good support network of friends close to me and family I could turn to…

26 is old enough to feel like you’ve lost everything and that nothing will ever be good again. He left a good career for his morals and lost all hope of employment from it.

Unfortunately they walled garden themselves pretty universally. I’ve been on Tidal since Spotify fired all those people and have been really enjoying it.

Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like their recommended music is also way better.

This is happening because Spotify laid off half it’s staff and thought it could get away with it.

Hachette is one of the Big 5 publishers at 10% market share. Penguin Random house (25%), HarperCollins (11%) and Wiley (not big 5 but still ~10%) were also in the suit.

Hachette, Penguin and HarperCollins are basically half of all books that come out.

The long weekend from Thanksgiving gave me unprecedented access to factorio space age. I think I hit 60 hours last week.

Power over Ethernet is a helluva drug

What they don’t grasp is that we’d send our guy to jail: because they won’t.

That’s the difference.

When a corrupt democrat is exposed they’re expelled (bye bye Cuomo)

When a corrupt republican is exposed they’re re-elected.

I bet USB c connections could fit in a floppy drive slot

Yes but we’re also more mastodon less bluesky. If a bluesky-esque clone of Reddit comes along with better UX and paving over the issues of federation then it will win, the way Bluesky has beaten out Mastodon as the Twit alternate

Affinity is great

Zoom ai transcriptions also make things up.

That’s the point. They’re hallucination engines. They pattern match and fill holes by design. It doesn’t matter if the match isn’t perfect, it will patch it over with nonsense instead.

Not necessarily the same hacker.

There’s never certainty when talking about hackers…

That’s verbatim the content of the email and the email hack does not appear to be malicious (unlike the ddos or the password breach)

It’s more likely that this is 3 different groups than it is a single group.
