Who is the dude in all the user-friendly distros? Kind of looks like Tom Cruise’s stunt man.

Amazon really loves co-opting anti-capitalism.

FTA: "While this is a win on paper, it’s unlikely that the publishers will get paid by the LibGen operators, who remain anonymous. "

TL;DR $7 for basic, $10 for Plus

Looks like he blue himself

When people say there’s no difference between the GOP and the DNC, they’re wrong:

• GOP: Wants to kill brown people
• DNC: Doesn’t care if brown people die

This is the stupidest timeline.

Broadly speaking, people aged 40+ still sometimes buy albums, but most young people mostly just stream.

Fuck Spotify. If you don’t want to be a 40 year old and buy albums, Deezer and Tidal pay much larger royalties than Spotify.

Microsoft is like a super clingy ex.

A hedge fund douchebag who owns a minority share of the Daily Caller who when I searched his name, the first result was that he got fired from Bank of America for sexual misconduct

For that thing that killed hundreds of monkeys? Yeah, sounds like a great plan.

Good point, they can’t both be true…but they CAN both be false. I’m hiring you as my lawyer.

This is the perfect answer.

Unity: Everyone really seems to hate EA

Also Unity: Let’s hire the CEO of EA

You’re right, they’re absolutely collecting data, but saying they can’t differentiate between activations and then saying “oh yeah, actually, we can when it comes to (piracy/bundles/charity/etc.)” less than 24 hours later tells me that not only do they not care about game devs, but they think we’re stupid too.

Certainly Godot is the safer bet (probably why they are surging so much more right now), but Unreal is nowhere near as bad as Threads. Unreal is open source, and the license specifically forbids Epic from making retroactive changes like Unity just did:

7. The Agreement Between You and Epic

a. Amendments

If we make changes to this Agreement, you are not required to accept the amended Agreement, and this Agreement will continue to govern your use of any Licensed Technology you already have access to.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Unless you have anything to do with Unity, because there are no winners in this shitshow.

The income of the top 1% alone – households making more than $550,000 – was linked to 15% to 17% of this pollution.

The report also identified “super-emitters.” They are almost exclusively among the wealthiest top 0.1% of Americans, concentrated in industries such as finance, insurance and mining, and produce around 3,000 tons of carbon pollution a year. To put that in perspective, it’s estimated people should limit their carbon footprint to around 2.3 tons a year to tackle climate change.
