Good.

Pierre's such a fucking rat. I'm really scared for the election, because he's projected a majority right now and god, we cannot afford a conservative majority right now..

oopsies

The youtube channel would first need to be willing to take Nintendo to court.

Housing is the jurisdiction of the provinces. There's limited latitude with which the Federal government can act.

They're not using those enough, but let's not act like it's all the fed, and not the provinces choosing to fuck us over too.

Ya, kinda tired of hitting the edges of my samsung, and their accidental edge touch protection's kinda useless.

There's also the poorly-aging belief that if you work for a big company that grants you job-security. People will gravitate towards worse, more corporate jobs because of that, even if it's generally not true in the modern era.

Ya well $70 is only for septuple-A games. Nontuple even.

The most heart wrenching for me is seeing the little tweet he posted when he was excited about his promotion. When he felt something good was happening for him, his talent and skill was being recognized, and his life was about to get better for it, only to have a sad reality crush him. :c

The usernames are just domains. Nobody can steal your domain.

i have a layman's understanding of AT Proto, but it seems to compartmentalize between different parts of the service. Front ends, databases, and backends can be hosted separately and amalgamate into one, in the abstract.

Practically, however, AT Proto allows account portability, wherein users can swap what instance they use as a frontend on a whim, even if their home instance is down. Usernames are domains instance of username@domain, that are verified by the DNS. But AT Proto seems a lot less flexible than ActivityPub. We'll have to see when federation is live, but I'm not sure it really suits anything beyond (micro)blogging.

So same situation as Epic

Can you give some examples of companies that went to shit after Tencent purchased them, and what investor-pleasing behaviour they did that led to this enshittification? I'd genuinely appreciate that.

They have a 30% stake, but most of their other investments didn't produce anything. Even riot's down enough to have massive layoffs.

Maybe Microsoft should buy it.

Tencent historically is quite hands-off with their investments. Hoping they continue to be so if they did end up purchasing D&D.

I agree wholly except the language "stolen assets" is kinda false considering they own Riot, and they're their assets by all rights.

Huh didn't know that. That's definitely interesting.

That's fair.

To me, it feels kinda cynical of the developers, like how a lot of GaaS trickle thins out just fast enough to not destroy their userbase. I prefer a little bit more reward as I play through, while obviously maintaining a slow enough pace that it feels like there's reason enough to continue playing.

Different strokes though.
