Iirc these headsets require your Facebook login to function at all?

Nope nope nope.

I see these bundles but I always assume they are trash.

Are they trash? I haven't been interested until now, but I've been meaning to learn a bit of game dev as a hobby and unity isn't really an option anymore.

This is more like if it was successfully sold at auction, and THEN banksy destroyed it after taking the money.

While I agree, staff wages, administrative costs, brick and mortar costs, and then a profit margin add up very quickly. Especially if they have nurses and doctors as staff.

They like to skip the parts that suggest, you know, loving thy neighbor, or don't idolize people/things, or don't be greedy.

You know, the stuff that doesn't fill seats like some miracle child being born or dragging a cross through town or disappearing from his grave.

I'm pretty sure Hunter is just a lever to pull to try to stain Biden.

To be fair, the outrageous allegations I've heard the Republicans make would be insanely problematic and evil if true, but I just haven't seen any reasonable evidence to think they are. If I saw the evidence I'd want Biden impeached in a heartbeat. Nobody is above the law.

It's because they broadly don't care about legislation. They care about what was written in some book thousands of years ago and the dream that they could be rich and matter someday (most won't).

Republicans. Because they are jonesing for a way to impeach the other guy so they can feel better about Trump.

... In a (generally) mildly toxic environment where I feel judged and under appreciated?

Count me out.

Workplaces used to be a lot more casual.

That's why this is an existential threat for so many studios.

They can't survive with the Unity pricing, and they probably don't have the funds to transfer to a new system. So they will have to shut down.

That's madness.

Imagine the player outcry being too just uninstall and reinstall games over she over to punish the devs.

Last time I took my EV in for service the guy just told me to come back in 6 months. Truly hilarious.

No spark plugs, oil changes, no transmission fluid, nothing to leak. No air filter or fuel filter or vacuum hoses or plug wires or whatever they are going to try and sell you.

Plus, fewer brake jobs because of regenerative braking.

I miss a manual transmission but I don't think I'll ever go back to gas.

No, you're not understanding.

They save money by only producing the luxury model. Then they disable the feature electronically.

But to prevent you from just jailbreaking the car, they need to have a system to monitor your status. So they need to be able to check and update software that you can't control, etc etc.

It's still greed, but it's like greed with extra steps.

People were objecting to the subscription, but they should have been objective to the locked features.

They'll never stop the shitification, it maximizes profit.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

We didn't just let it happen, we made it happen.

It's ouroboros.

People don't leave which means there is an audience so people try to stay and capitalize on the audience that stayed.

Seriously, fuck Twitter. It needs to die. That might mean that a lot of people need to change a lot of things to make their lives work.

If you're successful you can pivot. If you're barely making ends meet and rely on Twitter to keep you afloat, I'm sorry to say this, but you're not successful yet.

These idiots think that inflation is driven by spending, so if people are buying and investing that prices will rise.

So they think that raising rates will reduce access to loans/debt which will reduce consumer spending which will reduce inflation.

The running explanation is that an inflation rate of 2% is "healthy" and prevents hoarding.

2% inflation means that my money is worth less tomorrow, and experts seem to agree that that means I'm going to spend my money "correctly".

2% deflation means that my money is worth more tomorrow, and experts seem to agree that that means I'm going to starve myself and live like a hermit while hoarding my money because nobody would ever buy anything if it would be cheaper next year.

It's all bullshit.

I feel the same way about the OLED screen.

The are too many static elements on a phone screen. Notification bar, keyboard, etc. I just expect burnin to be a huge problem within a couple years.

I want to dual boot because I prefer Linux for everything but some niche games. Just never got around to it. This is pretty motivating.

They don't care about cheating, they only care about being on the winning side.
