I moved to Seattle for a high-paying tech job. It turned out to be the loneliest time of my life.

  • Yep - this article is just a desparate attempt to try and blame a company that people don't like for a completely normal life experience.

    I really do not understand the obsession with Business Insider articles on Lemmy. They are such trash.

  • I don't want to link to the website about a river that flows through Brazil on Lemmy, but I've found that just picking the top generic option on there works fine. IMO the Bose brand replacements aren't noticeably better for their 2x markup.

  • Why not both? This just makes it easier to notice at a glance. We should celebrate whatever wins we can get as consumers.

    I'm sorry for triggering that association. A lot of internet culture has been co-opted by those jerks. I didn't mean it that way.

  • I'm glad you're willing to say it was impulsive and misguided. I do understand the frustration - I feel it too. I'm on the same side of the issue as you.

    Similarly, I hope you understand that I just can't stand for people calling for violence.

    From a practical perspective - by making these threats, all these people have done is undermined the position that you and I know is right.

    Before, Unity had to answer for what they did. Now they can just pass off all criticism as coming from nutjobs who are crazy enough to make death threats. This is a great example of why language matters, and if we want our views to succeed, we have a responsibility to be better than the villans who stand in our way.

  • Wow you moved the goalposts fast. Your comment says "I'm blaming the victim". My friend is the victim of these death threats. Backpedal as much as you want, but your comment clearly endorses violence against her.

    Of course - if that's not what you meant and you regret what you said, then I hope our interaction makes you think about the world more complexly in the future. Violence is not the answer. We can never move forward as a society by sinking to the lowest denominator. We have to rise above. We have to be better than the villans who are trying to ruin our world.

  • Its not propaganda. Its reality. Gender exists. I think you're on the wrong website - you're looking for truthsocial.com

  • My friend works at unity. She's a sweet person who takes care of an elderly dog in her free time. She was very opposed to this decision.

    Does she deserve to die?

  • They hate each other too. Republicans who aren't hateful enough are "RINO"s.

    The only saving grace of facism is that it inevitably eats itself.

  • Bose QC35 headphones for me.

    They felt extravagently expensive at $300. But I've had them for 7 years now, wear them a few hours each day, and they still work like new. They sound amazing and the noise cancellation has had a tremendous positive effect on my sanity as an apartment-dweller.

    Every year I buy a replacement set of earcups for like $15. I'll keep using them until they poop out.

    • Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds

    Jump

  • The problem is that its so expensive to build from scratch. All Unity does is build just the engine, and that's enough to make it a 7000 person company. Trying to build a game engine and then an actual game on top is a herculean effort.

    This is why open source software is so important. It enables these small companies to pool their resources and share an engine as long as they each contribute fixes back.

    • I’ll fight anyone who shits on Gen Z

  • Millenial representative #2: Completely agree. Gen Z is so sensitive, smart and respectful, I love them. I run a lot of tabletop RPGs like D&D and had an all-Gen Z group back in 2021. My favorite memory is them explaining the Ohio meme to me. The kids are alright.

  • Don't take it so seriously. I think people just enjoy a bit of navel gazing. It can be fun to compare your own experiences with those from other generations in a tongue-in-cheek way.
