What is it with corporations just buying stuff up for excessive amounts of money and then firing a bunch of people?

Unity spent $1.6 billion on Weta Digital and then did absolutely nothing with it, fired most of the Weta people, and are now doing mass lay offs. What’s the point? Why buy it all if it’s just going to be shut down and then fire people?

Syncthing (for obsidian notes, mostly. I know there are FOSS apps that do what obsidian does, but they just don’t feel as good for my purposes).

LibreTorrent

Not that there’s anything wrong with newpipe, just additional information:

Sponsor block is now avaliable on Firefox mobile app. It even works for YouTube videos that are embedded in other sites.

“Hows your mental focus?”

“Oh its focused. I says it’s, uh, I thinks it’s, uh, I - I haven’t - look. I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself, even to my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as as being as old as I am than fly. I mean it’s just not, err, uh. I haven’t observed anything in terms of - there’s not things I don’t now that I did before”

My sister has an almost identical story with that bank.

I think most mammals have the same general wants an tendencies, we just happen to be mammals with societal baggage

My argument against this is that at least I own a license to the game rather than just a subscription. Steam still has and updates games that were made unpurchasable a decade ago. Hell, people still play rocket league on steam.

This is a separate argument altogether. Theres “own physically” and theres “own a license” to. If you own it physically and your physical media corrupts (which happens often to digital discs) did you own it any more than if you had it on steam? It’s also illegal to make a copy of a console disc, btw.

What the article is talking about is not even obtaining a license for at all and games just being attached to a subscription

100% this. Agents of the state want to feel like agents of the state. They get excited at the opportunity.

We need police reform.

That’s what I’ve been doing, but It’s such a clunky and inelegant solution

Hopefully this gets integrated into the engine.

I went and gave the dev a buck for their service

Was this article AI generated?

I had a few issues with Boost for Reddit, Rubén responded each time I posted and either helped me solve it or promised a future bug fix

To say he’s active is an understatement.

I bought Boost for Lemmy day one.

Ah, I missed this somehow when digging through the git page

Thank you

I’ve looked into Code Server, which is a github project I’ve found for self hosting VS Code, but it only works on Linux

Are you saying VS Code itself has a built in self hostable option?

This is the politician way.

Prime because I work in a remote area and buy a lot of Amazon, and HBO Max because one day my cell phone carrier decided to give it to me for no extra charge on my plan.

I use Jellyfin and torrents for the rest.

I remember when Fox News got called out for reusing migrant caravan footage for several years in a row but saying they were all different caravans

That was implied, yeah

My comment was more a rebuke at the headline than the article

Why would we have eyes on something that won’t be reasonably useful for years?
