The "haha, we've made an oopsie" tone of the video (sponsorship jokes, plugging their store link, possible sex joke, deflecting to "I'm just a human" instead of fully taking the blame) don't sit right with me. I was also hoping they would address Madison's comments on why she quit.

FYI: OP is a tankie who just spams any news he can find to discourage people from supporting Ukraine in the war.

It's not owning up if you've been caught red-handed, denied any wrongdoing, and only made an apology video once your subs started tanking. At this point it just feels like damage control.

So, as far as I understand, he was fined 3 years salary for doing the job he was hired to do (I consider using Google/Github as part of the job).

Utterly horrifying. Especially when you realize that merely accessing Google is illegal in China...

You're not "supposed to" upgrade every year, that's the point. You should be able to use a 5 year old phone if you want to.

Absolutely ridiculous and serves nothing but to make the CEOs feel better.

The argument of deliberately misunderstanding the context and meaning of a comment is indefensible...?
Or do you mean to suggest that we should completely ignore when someone is cherry-picking news to fit an agenda and spread anti-Ukraine sentiment?

Because I'd have no problem with this news article being posted, if this same person didn't post several other very specific articles today.

One reason is the more you're forced to work, the less energy, and, more importantly, time you have for preparing healthy meals. Therefore you're more likely to go with preprocessed, prepackaged meals or straight fast food which will make you fat fast.

I've got a relatively cushy job and cook my own, relatively healthy meals but even I find myself going for that store-bought pizza when I have a particularly busy week.

Moreover, unhealthy, preprocessed meals are basically drugs in terms of the dopamine hit, so you're more likely to go for them if your life sucks and you're sad about it.

Add to that the lack of education on healthy eating, which I'd bet is easier to come by when you're at least middle class and bam, you're a fat poor person.

So something like a Synology NAS, I guess.

There is no DRM on GOG. You can just download the offline installer, then install it even without an internet connection. It will never ask you to go online because it doesn't need to check anything.

That's a very US-centric view, at best. I paid about 23 dollars for a brand new copy of Half-Life 2 in 2004.

Some things need more context than a single article. In this case, the context is several articles being posted by a person with an agenda. This knowledge may change some people's perception of the article.

I'm more in favor of Godot, but Unreal/UDK has been a thing for a long while, so it's not true that Unity was 'the only game in town' for a long time.

They only "don't have enough to pay us" insofar as they don't have enough to pay us without sacrificing record high profits or CEO salaries.

Yeah just gotta finish my current game and I'm switching to Godot ASAP.

They're not a barista who's taking too long to make you a coffee. Stop blaming Ukraine for not defending themselves fast enough.
