What is it with corporations just buying stuff up for excessive amounts of money and then firing a bunch of people?

Unity spent $1.6 billion on Weta Digital and then did absolutely nothing with it, fired most of the Weta people, and are now doing mass lay offs. What’s the point? Why buy it all if it’s just going to be shut down and then fire people?

That’s an actual nightmare

And piracy sites.

I had my ebay account restricted the same day I made it. Was really confused and frustrated as I had made the account to buy something

So I just made another account with my same email address just without any periods, have had that account for years. Still no idea why I was restricted at all the first time and not the second…

Syncthing (for obsidian notes, mostly. I know there are FOSS apps that do what obsidian does, but they just don’t feel as good for my purposes).

LibreTorrent

Not that there’s anything wrong with newpipe, just additional information:

Sponsor block is now avaliable on Firefox mobile app. It even works for YouTube videos that are embedded in other sites.

“Hows your mental focus?”

“Oh its focused. I says it’s, uh, I thinks it’s, uh, I - I haven’t - look. I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself, even to my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as as being as old as I am than fly. I mean it’s just not, err, uh. I haven’t observed anything in terms of - there’s not things I don’t now that I did before”

My sister has an almost identical story with that bank.

Do you pronounce Origin like Oregon?

I personally find arguing pronunciation as entirely pointless when there are many words in English that get pronounced different based on a multitude of factors.

People also like to argue it’s an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

Honestly? Just say it how it makes sense to you.

I mean

The Bush family rigged W’s election against AI Gore. Why did that get swept under the rug?

I wouldn’t say the only option

You can run Winlator and play indie games and older games (runs Fallout 3 and Oblivion)

Always thought it was super weird that John McCain was too left for some people

I have multiple one way syncs set up, I’ve never had any issues.

My argument against this is that at least I own a license to the game rather than just a subscription. Steam still has and updates games that were made unpurchasable a decade ago. Hell, people still play rocket league on steam.

This is a separate argument altogether. Theres “own physically” and theres “own a license” to. If you own it physically and your physical media corrupts (which happens often to digital discs) did you own it any more than if you had it on steam? It’s also illegal to make a copy of a console disc, btw.

What the article is talking about is not even obtaining a license for at all and games just being attached to a subscription

100% this. Agents of the state want to feel like agents of the state. They get excited at the opportunity.

We need police reform.

But this has been around for years, why this week am I seeing it all over the place NOW

And yeah a meme is a way of sharing information, has nothing to do with timeframe
