Imagine if they didn't blame an entire people for the actions of their corrupt leaders.

...what? How is that related at all?

Honest question: how many email-havers do you think know what GPG is?

I dabbled with CLisp a while back, and I loved it -- but I'm not sure what problems it solves. Do you mind expanding on that?

Holy God, what the fuck?

I mean realistically, the people who enjoyed it back in the day have outgrown it. So "new" content like this skibidi business, which is the same kind of humor as they used to enjoy 10+ years ago, is deeply unappealing.

This is one of the things about businesses I don't get.

If you cut your staff, your ability to make money goes down with them. Why would layoffs be the reaction to reduced sales? It's like they don't have any money in savings or something.

Oh wait.

Fellas, is it geriatric to not want food poisoning?

ROAR!

I know I'm being that guy here, but this is a butchering of the meme format. Woof.

I think I understand it. It makes sense if his goals were to 1) release this information and 2) survive afterwards. Doing #1 was relatively easy, as he had the access to accomplish it.

But to then stay alive and (relatively) free required being beyond the reach of the US government. Being in the States is out of the question, and by extension so is being in any country with an extradition treaty with the US. I don't know what all the options were, but ultimately he chose Russia as the place he would live.

If you assume his goal is freedom for mankind in general, it does seem hypocritical to go running to an authoritarian country for safety. But it seems pretty clear he wasn't motivated by a vague principle, but rather wanting to blow the whistle on a specific injustice he saw.

Such a good game!

Neat!

What company, EA? When did people stop buying their games?

You must have missed it. When he tried the first time, the Supreme Court stopped him. It wasn't a conspiracy by Biden's administration. And since then his administration has been successfully canceling student loan debt for certain subsections of the population.

That's Cory Doctorow, my guy. He's not making an ad.

It's unfortunately classic Lemmy. Every post has at least one person commenting something along the lines of "Why would anyone like this?" as opposed to, y'know, actually engaging with the content.

This post was a great read, but the image quality isn't great. Could it be split into multiple images? Does Lenny even support that?

This is not a helpful recommendation.

It's bullshit that the opposite of "important" is "unimportant" instead of "portant"
