So Xbox bought the studio about 3 years ago and then just went ‘nah, not profitable.’ Fuck Xbox.

This comic almost has an xkcd flavour to it.

To be fair though, part of the passengers were a father & son participating in a sort of father & son trip in which the son was adamant that he didn’t want to go down in the submarine. He was literally scared. But the father dragged the son down with him, and sadly the son perished inside something he feared.

Ok that’s enough internet for today. Never thought I’d be saying this on Lemmy.

That’s gonna smell tomorrow.

I’ve seen Fedora lauded for being so responsive, and I’d probably go for that over the super bloated Ubuntu. I know it’s not debloated either but that is preferable over dealing with Arch which needs a lot of tinkering time which eats into my work time.

I feel like this is the most concise answer in this thread.

Omega squared baby!

Applies for a position as director of marketing.

“Sorry, you’re a Pisces.”

Why Pisces!? 😭

Because I’m looking at my phone.

But that’s ok, everyone hates meta here.

“Intense prediction, study, and scientific research by scientists.”

Article has none of these, just intensely flavoured waffle.

This is kind of really meta right now.

YouTube already did the math, as did almost every single company and corporation on the planet.

There’s a lot more revenue in advertising than subscriptions, especially on a website that started off entirely free (so Netflix for example goes in the subscription model rather than the advertising model but that seems to have changed!)

There’s a mass of people who follow up on these advertisements. The latest advertisements I’ve encountered on YouTube are really really calculated and well scripted. For example the digital dollar advertisements sound like they’re going to save you from financial ruin. It’s clever and it’s working. Money is pouring in.

I’m somewhat amused that the size is relatively accurate for the small boy holding it.

Saved, this is a large list and not just recent bestsellers. Definitely worth its salt.

CHARLIE…

CHARLIE…

WAKE UP CHARLIE…

It got on the news. They sacrificed their jobs for that at least.

If free speech requires everyone who makes a statement or belief to engage in debate about it, I don’t believe it would work very well.

I saw the video about a year ago, the one posted by gamma on this thread and the general summary I got from the video is that:

1. For the immense time and expertise these children are putting into the game, they get a very small cut. And their social life and education will probably suffer so hey!
2. A job comes with security and rights. These children get no rights as they are not on contract.
3. There are predators on Roblox which the company is overlooking (as they are making huge games there, like the Sonic the Hedgehog Roblox game).

It’s a very grey area that isn’t regulated well.

I love lawful neutral. That made me chuckle.

Well, they’ll see a disk and still be unconvinced.
