That sounds on par for course. They have a valod reason, but other people that do it don’t and are terrible people.

And nothing will come out of it, as always.

It’s because there is no such thing as optimisation anymore. Websites are bloated to the gills with terrible animations and tracking scripts.

76 is a fun brainless Fallout multiplayer. I’d rather have a real Fallout MP instead of 76, but I can’t lie and had over 100hrs of fun.

Having the capabilities to take on debt helps to garner investments.

You can do a joint venture, take on a bit of debt but get more money of it.

And we’ve seen many mega corpos finance their venture throught debt (see Uber business model).

So I’d say that it was true in the past, but corpos are getting bolder.

The point is that major shareholder will try to hide insider knowledge to sell their stock before a big crash.

They pump the stock value as much as possible and sell it before it crashes. They make a shit ton of money and some suckers are left holding the bag.

Because higher stock value means more collateral for debt.

You’d be surprised on how much debt is used in even small companies.

There was a meme going around a month or so ago of 5 AI companies jerking off, representing the circular financing that this article talks about.

From the moment these “investments” were announced, people were already raising flags about circular investments.

Back to fiefdom! You’ll work hard for your techlords or you’ll be starving.

Grim Dawn is not a live game service.

Last Epoch promised to only have MTX and pay only once to get the full experience. That’s not the case anymore.

Last Epoch studio got bought out and people were afraid they were gonna get enshittified and it is happening right now.

DNS only translate a string address (www.mywebsite.com) to its IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) so that it is easier to remember.

Bots just try a range of address and they don’t need to know your domain name. You could have the most unintelligible domain name in the world, bots would still ping your website because they use direct IP addresses.

Pretty fucking gay

Not so much. It’s more like “Is there enough Nettlix users that likes Amy Schumer so that we can finance her next special”.

Corpos only care about what you like so that they can maximize their profit.

The issue, as always, is that Plex started to put free existing features behind a paywall to squeeze more money out of their client base instead of adding something and charging for it.

VC money came in and now the VC wants to cash in on the investment.

To be fair, Bluetooth is a clusterfuck of a stack to use.

Tales as old as men. Corpos aren’t your friends and the processes are there to placate employees and then fire them.

Republicans are such pieces of shit. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

All the fucking terrible things Trump has said and now the line has been crossed? They just try to slowly show that they were against Trump after all but still enabling him and his admin.

I hope they are not forgotten and dragged into the streets like the traitors they are. They made planet earth a worst place to be and they will continue to do so until the day they die.

Yeah but working for an organization that actively hates you is wild to me.

I mean working for ICE is fucking terrible, but having a Spanish name and working for ICE is so completely disconnected considering what is happening right now. Latinos are specifically targetted regardless how homogenous the group is.

VMWare is popular for a reason. qemu is less accessible for the non-tech people of this world.
