It’s baffling, isn’t it? How can a company just unilaterally decide to not be subject to this or that law, and the courts just… go with it? It’s the same level of idiocy exhibited by sovereign citizens, but somehow, when you’re a corporation they actually let you do it…

I can see why spez is upset about scrappers and search engines - image a company profiting from people creating lots of data, just hoarding it and using it for free, and not paying those people a cent, preposterous, right? :)

The Bethesda of old is long dead. After the disappointment that was Starfield, it will take multiple rave reviews and watching a few streamers playing on Twitch for me to even consider giving them any money. And I sure as hell will not be paying for goddamned mods, not now and not ever. Eff that and eff the greedy assholes that now run Bethesda.

Oh they probably will, but after Starfield I’m not going to bother buying it, even if it comes with free creation paid mod credits…

Great, that means more blockbuster superhits like Starfield and less smaller games like Hi-Fi Rush - can’t wait!

Bloody hell, gaming sucks ass recently, and not in a good way either… :(

Not even lose - still get heaps of money, but slightly smaller heaps, which is of course a huge blow to the economy rich fucks, and as such is completely unacceptable.

“Innovation industry”?! Excuse me? Is that similar to “job creators” regularly doing mass layoffs? Give me a goddamned break…

Oh I emphatically agree - I have a fully remote job and not even doubling my salary would make me consider switching to an office one. I was just clumsily trying to point out that a lot of corporate positions don’t require all that creativity and collaboration bullshit that clueless executives love to throw around in videos like this one.

This will definitely push all accounting, data entry and other such office workers to the heights of creativity and inventiveness - just what they need! /s

Let me try to translate it from corpo-speak to plain English: “We thought of a higher number and we like that one better. And besides, suckers will still pay, so why the hell not? Oh, also, multicore!”

It’s insane, isn’t it? Why do so many companies act like employees are their indentured servants and not professionals who provide their services to them in exchange for money?

If anything, the boss should have said “Are you sure just 3 days are enough? How about you take the whole week off instead and come back fully refreshed?”. I do hope the court throws the book at them - time off should be a goddamned sacred right if every employee.

Even better - I can just let it lapse then and still play using my preferred controller - thanks for letting me know!

Yeah, but recently PS+ subscriptions only get a around 20% discount on Black Friday, and Sony is hiking the price up by now than 30, so it’s more than likely that the discounted price is still going to be higher than the full price now…

This price hike is absurd - fortunately the only game I play online (Warframe) is implementing cross-save soon, so I’ll be able to move away from Playstation and stop renewing Plus - 80 dollars for online pay and cloud saves is robbery, how greedy can you get?!

We continue to invest significant resources to proactively stop fake reviews sell more dropshipped fake garbage.

Fixed it for them

Same - my blocklist is gigantic now, but by combining that with subscriptions means that I can always choose between a very tightly curated list of stuff that interests me and nothing else (browsing subscribed) and a much bigger list of more random stuff that lets me discover new things but still doesn’t have sports, cars, porn and other things in actively disinterested in (browsing all). I like this system a lot.

Same - right now I have a list of DMs that shows full names and is immediately accessible - to me that’s significantly easier to look through than a mockup of a phone interface…

I’m using Slack on desktop and for work - not a fun of makig it look like I’m texting my buddies from my phone.

Amen to that! I’m not a super prolific poster here either, but compared to reddit I’m WAY more active, and it feels mre fun too. In 15 years on reddit I have only made 2 threads as far as I can remember, but on Lemmy (and Squabbles) I’ve been sharing my house plants recently and it feels great!

Yes, the community is much smaller, but also much kinder,and I the average age feels higher here too (I have zero data on it, but just judging by the writing style it feels like there’s a whole bunch of people roughly my age (40+) around these parts).
