The browser was sold to Chinese investors though.

Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it bit him in the face!

-that happened once

Computer over. Virus = very yes

Oh yeah, the game looks like great fun. Congrats to way forward. Just Konami is a crap company and I have to crap on them when they do their bullshit. Like say Konami’s future us not in video games, but instead in pachinko machines, then come back to producing games a few years later.

I guess pachinko machines weren’t profitable enough to keep Konami from crawling back to video games. With a nostalgia grab, developed by 3rd party studio.

TikTok just starts showing a lot of Bill Cosby shorts for some reason.

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

That game is so good. Honestly they didn’t really need a release trailer. All they have to do is say “hey, we’re making more golden idol content” and I’m all over it, just tell me when.

Honestly surprised that Tesla allowed him to modify his car without charging him a $30,000 fine or something.

Cool, so YouTube will start putting pop ups that require you to consent to the detection in order to watch videos. That’s what everyone did with the whole cookies thing when that was determined to be illegal without consent.

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

And here is the CEO complaining that Google uses unfair policies to push it’s apps. Fuck both of them.

Oh fuck off Microsoft. Nobody wants to hear that shit from you. If you had your way our fucking cars would be powered by edge, and would tell us to play raid shadow legends every time we turned it on.

I said to replace “violent video” not just violent. Any competitive game leads to increased verbal aggression and hostility. Just look at people who play sports, same type of behavior. It’s not exclusive to video games.

Replace “violent video” with “competitive” and you’ll find the same result.

Man, I can’t wait until the day I don’t exist anymore. My existential crisis is that I’m currently forced into existing.

Any position in a corporation other than executive.

No I understand the word. What I’m saying is that as the fediverse grows, and large communities develop, there will be large corps will want a piece of the action. They operate with money, they down build or create, they buy. What would you do, you living you life as you are now, but decide to take up running an instance. Assume that instance grows very large and starts getting worldwide recognition, and some corporate affiliated executive invites you to meet and they give you a very real offer of $84,000,000,000 to give the instance to them. They promise to add the features you’ve wanted to implement but was struggling to, offer a team of people to help with your bot and spam issues. Would you turn that down? Idk about you, but I could definitely use 84 million dollars. I hate corps with a passion, I believe they ruin everything they touch, but I could do the things I want with that kind of money.

And so what do the community’s of thousands upon thousands members do when their admin sells out? Do they move? Can the entire community just up and move to another instance and keep the same engagement? Would they even want to? The corpo’s just implemented the features they’ve been asking for for years, they can’t be that bad right? Besides we like it here. I’m sure it’ll be fine, right? Besides, Amazon already ownes one of the other largeest instance, and we’re def not moving to the one meta runs, what’s one more?

And of course once the large corps have thrown all their money at the newest popular thing, they repeat the process. All of them Switch from growth focus to monetization focus and everything turns to shit.

There are other options, there are smaller instances that people could move to, and that probably will happen, but the effect will be similar. People who were all gathered in once place, enjoying one thing, get splintered into lots of other smaller groups, with a newer differenter thing. And it starts over again.

I mean I am excited for the potential the fediverse has, but I do wonder how long until it becomes enshitified too. Every great new invention that serves the needs of the people always goes downhill at some point. Remember that television networks used to be an amazing platform for all our needs.
