That was really clumsy on the side of the workers. Discord is the last App I would use to organize a union. What were they even thinking?
On the other hand that probably means they use discord for literally everything including communication within Rockstar, albeit unofficially. So yeah if their employer had any consistency in firing people over NDAs they would probably have to fire most of the staff.
I mean it‘s like the 10th time I‘m reading about THE breakthrough in Chinese chip production on Lemmy so lets just say I‘m not holding my breath LoL.
I think both sides make sense here. If you shoot at everything that moves and refuse to cooperate it can be a hell of a ride. But if you focus on looting and are willing to socialize it can be almost a cozy experience. It reminds me of Team Fortress 2 where players would sometimes just make up their own rules mid game and turn everything on it‘s head.
Wait, you say it‘s not $39.99 good but still worth the price? That‘s as much of a direct contradiction as possible.
So basically you have not tried it but complain about things you expect because…? Are you an EA or IGN employee or something?
Yep. Honestly if someone still uses Windows but complains about kernel level anti-cheat they’re hypocrites and only have themselves to blame. If you want sovereignty as a PC user you have to put in the minimum effort and not just sit on your ass and wait until big corp is spoon feeding it to you. That day won‘t come.
I mean it already is the biggest superspreader of far right content in Europe and I would assume in the US as well. But please don‘t come with anecdotes about your TikTok experience because it‘s the most personalized content platform so it‘s irrelevant what your feed looks like right now. I‘m saying this because often times at least one TikTok user will rush in to defend the platform with their personal experience whenever this is brought up.
Shouldn‘t the title be „backlash from Berlin and Warsaw“ as in political centers of the respective countries? Because this makes it read people in Warsaw and Berlin are protesting against it which couldn‘t be further from the truth I imagine. It‘s hardliner politicians and far right radicals that are so strongly against it.
Good. It’s a stupid discussion and in it‘s currently planned form would cripple the economy even more. I know small businesses that would lose half their workforce to conscriptions basically overnight and don‘t believe for a second any of those workers are stoked about service either. It will cripple their careers.
If you want to bolster defenses there are better ways because I believe if shit hits the fan, people will fight for their home in a free country against a foreign dictatorship. You just have to find ways to prepare us without conscription and increase wages in the military while you‘re at it.
At least also ban plant names for meat-based foods and be less obviously in the pockets of lobbyists.
I don‘t think I‘ve ever seen someone defend it online but there were a few people laughing it off which is not much better.
More like they have been fired because of the AI hype and are expected to be replaced by AI. In reality however, another worker just has to work harder and use an AI agent to do less valuable work overall. A drop in quality will mean a drop in sales and they‘ll wish they didn‘t fire all those valuable workers who won‘t return for the same pay they had before.
Technically machines make most discoveries possible these days but I have yet to see an electric microscope receive the prize. I don‘t see how this is any different.
A lot of those tech bros and CEOs will vanish from the public overnight when the bubble bursts and the EU isn‘t half as badly affected as many other places who sunk everything into it.
Oh, that might have been me. Installed Cachy the other day and tried out a lot of packages just to see what works. Sorry about that.
Why even post this here? This is politics BS that‘s used as a diversion from the Epstein files and the government shut down which again only happened so they don‘t vote on the Epstein files.
That‘s how Crunchyroll itself started out if I remember correctly. Now look at it, completely unrecognizable. It‘s exemplary for how things have been progressing or rather regressing this century so far.
Saw the 120€ price tag of the special edition+ and was so disgusted I lost all interest in it immediately. I mean even the base game price seems too steep but that‘s just a huge red flag for me. Definitely a contender of „might pick it up for a tenner on a sale in a few years.“
They simply could‘ve nuked the 18+ section of Steam.
Was this ever a demand by payment processors??? To remove games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk 2077? I really don‘t see how this is evidence of Valve pushing back against anything. Perhaps people need to stop brainlessly sucking off Valve‘s dick for a minute.
Valve axed smut games because it was an easy business decision requiring minimum effort. They chose the boring and predictable path of lowest resistance which is the exact opposite of what they‘re being praised for here. Of course it‘s mildly annoying for Valve and they would rather sell whatever they want but they‘re not fighting for customers here at all.
Content highways are a concept that I have been thinking about for years. Basically extensions that cut all the crap and give you the web experience you want. Sponsorblock already goes into that direction but I do wonder if it can finance itself or will sell put it‘s users eventually. I hope that concept could be expanded upon to block/warn users about certain triggers for example or dark patterns where the „remove ads!“ button on Twitch.tv gets flagged for being a paid subscription button etc.
