Since you brought it up, I’m unconvinced the introducing crack to black neighborhoods thing is entirely related. Pretty sure the CIA already had their hands full with a couple war(s) to take a huge interest in MLK when he was rallying against racism, it was more until he started speaking out for unions and against unchecked capitalism. During the social justice years they only smeared him with the out-of-context details of his extramarital affair to media outlets (TMZ level bullshit) in order to try to discredit him. Don’t get me wrong, he was a nuisance to them for exposing injustice but as soon as you get in the way of the dynastic wealth of very powerful families though, it’s a whole new ballgame. That’s when the assassination talks probably kicked into high gear.

SO MAYBE YOULL BE A GOOD PERSON TO ASK WHO WROTE: THE MOON RULEZ - #1, ON MY CAR, WITH A KEY

this lil guys pretty unhappy about your moon comments.

you best to watch your back

If I were renting I’d allow anyone to have pets if they were willing to increase their security deposit by the cost of replacing all the mounted rugs in the apartment. But if they stayed for many years and I had to replace them anyway just on wear and tear id give them the money back when they left.

you came from your dad’s ballsack. science approves.

Well it does seem a little hypocritical, no? I don’t hate any tech company, I’m heavily skeptical of them having our best interest, but I see value where value exists, if there’s a way to extract it/partition it from the company that makes it. Whatsapp for example, is still a decent app even though Facebook is awful. I even begrudgingly use Meta VR for stuff I can’t find on steam.

Exactly, and I don’t think Google really gives a shit what you do anyway, they just want to shelp your data to their ad partners. But any free open source software or hardware has value independent of the company that creates it. Degoogled chromium, FOSSized android rom Pixels, YouTube in browser with ublock, it’s not hard to remove Google/Microsoft etc from the equation and get a useful product if there’s one there.

many of you hate Google yet I’m willing to bet most of you flashed a custom or foss android rom like lineageos to your devices.

I’m not just taking about epic, there were layoffs in basically every gaming company that exists the past few months

see this for more: https://lemmy.myserv.one/post/2907340

unity, naughty dog, Ubisoft, EA, Amazon games (twitch) and much more.

bit of a strawmans argument you’re refuting here.

unnecessary

I hate to have to justify layoffs but it’s at least true that lots of studios are unexpectedly (from a couple years ago) hemorrhaging cash right now. anytime inflation is so high for so long, discretionary spending on entertainment is near the first to get cut from consumers budgets. people aren’t sitting at home like we were in 2021 only buying digital entertainment anymore.

The CEO is the founder and majority shareholder and epic is privately funded so probably not gonna happen

Evidently, all of Epic Games’ business had been “heavily funded by Fortnite” in the last six years, and different parts of the company became “disconnected” from their revenue streams.

Wait, so youre really telling me me Epic giving away a ton of free games on EGS every single month and free unreal engine marketplace assets to devs as well as regular epic megagrants was never a financially sustainable move?

Psssh. In other news, salt is salty. 🤭

I honestly believe Tim is not going to f–k this one up though, as a former one he clearly cares about the game dev community and as majority shareholder he isn’t needing to be driven by profits as much as publicly traded Unity head John Riccatello is.

Plus, fortnite is still a goddamn cash printer, just not printing as fast as they expected.

second row second column, did someone turn their head into a basketball?

and my code:

a picture of the toilet bowl itself

I don’t wanna degenerate into one of those tin foil hat people but holy goddamn how are they implementing this and where is it going in 10, 15 years? Biometric IDs, seriously?? Why don’t they just make drivers licences electronically verifiable, like debit cards?
