Bro, GhatGPT wrote a better apology:

Dear Community,

Look, we know we sell little plastic figures—not games, not platforms, not anything remotely digital—but somehow, we’ve managed to trip over our own shoelaces and knock something precious to all of you right off the shelf. Yes, we’re talking about itch.io, and yes, we understand the gravity of what happened.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: we messed up. We’re not entirely sure how the dominoes fell this way, but somehow, through a series of unfortunate events (and probably some poorly-thought-out legal maneuvers), our actions have impacted an entire community that thrives on creativity and passion. That was never our intention, and it’s not who we want to be.

The truth is, we’re sitting here staring at our little figures, wondering how something so small can lead to such a big screw-up. We know this affects you, and we’re genuinely sorry for the frustration, confusion, and anger we’ve caused.

We don’t expect forgiveness overnight, but please know we’re working hard to make this right. We’re talking to the people who actually know what they’re doing (because, let’s face it, we clearly don’t), and we’re committed to doing better moving forward.

We value this community more than you realize, even if we’ve done a poor job of showing it. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you’ll give us the chance to earn back your trust—not just with our figures, but with our actions.

Not hard at all. Both responsible for many millions of needless deaths while holding power.

Thankfully they didn't find any evidence of it being used, but they promptly fixed the issues and informed everyone. Great example of amazing management.

Even families - watch one family member with wealth die, and watch them all clamor for the remains. Humanity is not selfless. Pretending so is purposely remaining blind and ignorant to humanity's true nature. "In Group", "Out Group"...doesn't matter one bit.

Even within the "in group", humans still show patterns of greed, dishonesty, etc. Con artists are a great example of this; people who will slip into the group and then work only for themselves.

Yeah, QWERTY was absolutely used to slow down typing as well, but it had a secondary function of spreading out the letters.

DVORAK just has the one function. It didn't have to contend with other baggage. But it doesn't mean QWERTY didn't also have that goal. But since QWERTY handles the same goal that DVORAK does, reasonably well, it doesn't hit the threshold needed for us to swap over.

Additionally, DVORAK is kind of nasty because it has all of the vowels on the left hand. I just picked a random word "Control" and most of the work is being done by the right hand; most of the time on the same finger row, which is horribly inefficient. Control on QWERTY is roughly equally left and right handed; not clusters of similarly used letters.

A common estimate of the ratio of vowels to consanants in the english language is 3:1 -- So you'll be doing 3x as much work on your right hand than with your left. Which makes DVORAK kind of garbage tbh.

Transfer rate is fucking phenomenal, but the latency is absolute trash.

I don't know how many of you realize this, but our true "Humanity" is being the most violent, ruthless apes in the jungle. Just because we managed to become smart and then used smarts in our violence, doesn't mean we're not all still at the core, violent psychopathic apes.

We haven't lost our humanity at all, it's on full display for the world to see.

Our "civility" on the other hand, absolutely - is taking a back seat right now. But civility is a social construct.

Even if the mechanical linkage was the initial reason for the design, the design still holds value in basically spreading out the letters in such a way that it minimizes the need for fingers to be constantly used for the typical words that we use in the English language. You don't want all the vowels to be on the left hand, for example, you want these letters spread out so that you get roughly even utilization of the fingers when typing.

endorsing criminal activity

Because now that wording, means anyone advocating for legalization of Marijuana falls under this umbrella.

As people we need to be able to voice our opinions on the legality and/or morality of certain laws. It's a tricky thing to word correctly, while toeing the line of what is acceptable and what is not.

There are a large number of people on Lemmy who believe that you could be literally Hitler and that a human life is still worth saving. To some, human life is some unwavering near-godlike thing that nobody should ever take away.

But I like math. And I know that sometimes a -1 gives you positive values.

I think diversifying mods is a good idea.

Great, so then every post gets 10 chances to be incorrectly identified and culled? We don't need diversity of opinion here, we need quite the opposite. We need a unification of opinion so that rules can be solidified around that.

Additionally, since lemmy.world remains federated with other instances which tolerate unpleasant behavior and I see no indication on this post that this will change

There is nobody in this world who can act in a way that isn't unpleasant for someone. This is such an unachievable bar as to be laughable.

I mean...is it though? I thought they stopped selling the NVidia Shield. So, there isn't exactly any "competition".

What you can search to find more information on the subject is the "Soap Opera Effect". -- Essentially, people are so used to 24.99fps that higher framerates are considered to 'look funny' when the camera pans, etc.

Step 1, get hired by security company...

:D

They'll just keep a security detail. It won't even be a consideration. They'll just do it, and not even care that it happened.

I don't see anything similar at all. Nope.
