I have to agree - this is classic reddit. Spez obviously couldn't care less about namecalling.

• The corp gets to use the CEO as a punching bag - which is pretty much his job description...

• Redditors can feel good about upvoting a picture "sticking it to the man" while actually doing nothing - participating on a site that's still reaming them

• Buying all the reddit awards for the post, GIVING THE COMPANY THEY'RE SUPPOSEDLY STICKING IT TO MORE MONEY. Bullshit like this pisses me off after finding out the Lemmy devs pretty much make less than minimum wage with donations

What changed is he started becoming more public. He's always been a shithead. There were mentions of him abusing his employees back when I was in grad school in 2012. People on the internet just fell for his mythos and just kept ignoring signs to the contrary until he just...kept...talking.. and couldn't be ignored anymore.

Easy - Godzilla 1998. 28% audience score just goes to show the public has no taste

I feel for the people of Huntsville. It really sounds like they got fucked because their last name. But ultimately, you won't attract talent from other places in the US if you tell them they're going to be working in Alabama. This is just the consequence of their politicians and the folks to voted for them.

The use of lead alloys in telecom cables started in the 1880s and the industry began to phase out placement of new lead-sheathed cables in the 1950s after developing a new type of sheathing," the trade group's website said. "Some of these cables still provide customer voice and data services, including connecting 911 service, fire alarms, and other central monitoring stations."

Sounds about right. So they did stop using it when the negative effects of lead started being more well-known. You know what happens when they try to remove that cable in favor of fiber? You get people who whine that the telcos are getting rid of landline copper connections.

This is an announcement for s2. Eps 9-12 came out a few hours ago

Can just use the cached version. That's what I've been doing. In and out in 2 seconds

Online services cost a lot of money. People don't realize how much because VCs and corpos w/ deep pockets have been subsidizing most major services for a long time. Now that the free money period is more-or-less over, these services need to start paying the bills with their users - commence enshittification

Just a heads up to anyone that didn't get an update - it's on the experimental build (v1.1.83) which you need to manually subscribe to in steam.

This is huge though - I paused my factorio-playing because I was hoping for gamepad parity with the Switch version. Time to get back into it

There’s constructive criticism and then there’s

There's a lot of people who just yell at you, people I've never seen, met, or talked to before. It's weird. What did we do to them? Perhaps they just write it from a place of negativity and malice. It's tiresome.

Coming from ffxiv, YoshiP knows what actual grievances are and what troll comments are. It’s not a “reality distortion field” to call jackasses, jackasses

No-one's obligated to read trash. I don't read other tabloids in case they might have a point.

If you want to minimize opinions of people who joined recently, try not being someone who also joined recently.

The ad-free, no-cost streaming service will include live coverage of future launches, documentaries and new original series that will be exclusively available on the platform.

Protip: it's better to respond to the article rather than what you think the headline means.

They're saying that the issue is fixed in the next release that's coming out (0.18). Right now the stable version everyone's using is (0.17.4)

...go on..? And...?

And because this instance had open registration, it quickly became one of the biggest instances. Trolls were using the open registration + federation to harass their community. Because there are a lack of mod tools and the fact they only have 4 mods, they couldn't keep up. In order to keep the community they wanted in tact, they decided to temporarily defederate until they're better equipped to handle it.

I admire your willingness to engage and respond to vague BS. Keep on keepin on, dude. (also get some rest)

I love how folks on this thread are so sure beehaw’s lying about that - despite the supposed amenable chat they and sh.itjust.works admins had about the situation. You guys are reeeaaally butthurt about the defed even though it wasn’t personal

• Not beholden to public transport schedules and it's faster to use a car in suburban/rural areas
• Able to move a large amount of goods at once - especially important if you own a home
• Can turn around if I forgot something
• More quiet than buses. I'd hate if a bus drove by my house every 30m
• Can listen to music without headphones

I thought the free awards thing stopped a while back. I'd be surprised if a lot of people still had them
