Ak-47s for everyone, you say?

Yeah plus putting cameras to see every part of the store now requires way more cost/maintenance than just telling the underpaid manager “take these 10 photos every month or we’ll fire you”

lol sure for now, all of those “we’ll control this buyout” lasts for like a year until the org is dissolved or whatever because the majority shareholder has changed the deal

It took awhile before engineers also became UX people and were like “ok, but let’s start the project from an end user’s point of view.”

Unfortunately soon after that, marketers took over as the bosses of the UX people and were like “ok, let’s start this from a ‘how do we get more people clicking the buy now button’ point of view.”

It doesn’t cover everything you’re referring to, but there are projects like

So there is certainly a way forward for what you’re describing

Ah yes, the Sinclair “This is extremely dangerous to our democracy” foreshadowing

Even worse when the first link to talk about what you’re looking at is just a discord link

My absolute favorite pizza is: white pizza (no red sauce), mozz of course, shrimp, bacon, spinach, and some fresh garlic, preferably sliced and roasted. All on a thin New Haven style crust. If you’re ever in New Haven and go to BAR, it will be an incredible pizza.

My guess is this is a dude who was convinced that “white American women are too sexual so you should find a tradwife in another country,” and I’m surprised there’s not more stories like this. But at the end of the day all the “I need a tradwife” dudes would rather get on their knees and swallow for trump, so here we are

Edit: turns out they met just through work, which makes this almost more shitty that this dude is so willing to buy into the fascism

The official sponsor of magats everywhere™

Same as Elon when he confidently told off engineers during his takeover of Twitter or gestures broadly at the Mr. Dunning Kruger himself

Wonder if it’s an SQL DB

Elon probably hired confident right wingers whose parents bought and paid their way through prestigious schools. If he hired anyone truly skilled and knowledgeable, they’d call him out on his bullshit. So the people gutting government programs and passing around private data like candy are just confidently incorrect

Agreed. It fits very well in very specific places, but when not there, it’s just noise

And film grain. Get that fake static out of here

Well of course, but “magic wand” and “power drill” are very different things. The magic wand doesn’t really do any drilling unless you look for specific videos

I wouldn’t have either. What’s the joke?

Ah that’s good to know, thanks!

Can’t argue with that, it would be nice for GOG to have:

• Cloud saves
• A controller pass through with configuration as you described

Those are really steam’s best features, and if GOG had those I’d likely stop buying steam games

I doubt it, if you are concerned if I’m the person you’re thinking of you should tag me, or go through my post history.

That being said, Gabe owns 50.1% of the company. If he dies, and transfers that to one person, it doesn’t matter what his employees think, public or private, unless the bylaws for the corporation (yes, a private company like steam is still a corporation) state otherwise, the majority shareholder can vote on future direction and win.

Additionally, you underestimate tech employees and their willingness to exit on the right terms. If valve becomes valued at 100 billion dollars, and they can exit with their 1 percent stock at 45 years old, neither them or their family will ever need to work a day again and they can exit the global firestorm and live on an island somewhere.

You’re putting far too much altruism on everyone.
