Perfect example of continual enshitification, there's no reason even a 15s "short" or other quick media couldn't have video controls, it's just intentional because some dogshit behavioural phycologist they've paid said that's the best way to coerce more engagement.

She'll always have the legacy that she was too mentally incompetent to know when it's time to retire and let the next generation take over. Worked herself to death and for what exactly

Take every single day you're entitled to. The days of working yourself to death so you get a pat on the back by the boss is well over. You come first

I'm sure they'll find plenty of top tier new engineers who will take a position at Grindr instead of literally any other job that offers full time WFH support 🙄

Wonder which executive got annoyed that they went into the office, they noticed no one else was suffering in-office with them and this is the outcome.

Cheers for the good work guys

Finally some feel good news for a change

I get there's a heap of people on here who've somehow never seen these new anti-popup measures before, but they're definitely becoming more prevalent.

I switched to uBlock and purged the caches and it seems to have fixed the issue (for now anyway)

At some point I'll have to find a more permanent solution like switching browsers but right now things are working

Back when you could actually have funny ads and not worry about people whinging about it online

Imagine you go to court and this fossil at 96 is the one who determines your fate. Imagine if you catch her on an off day and she thinks you stole her computer, her files or other nonsense she's accused court staff of doing (the only thing that's been stolen is her marbles, and it looks like they went a few years back)

Get these shocking people out of the courts and into the nursing home where they belong

Who didn't see this coming? Kill all good third party apps and funnel everyone into their dogshit, undercooked app and then leverage every metric and interaction for advertising

People generally will fairly buy content when it's available and fairly priced if they want to support the creators. There's a huge difference between wanting to help your favorite content producer VS companies that fart out mult-hundred dollar box sets of old content

"not always possible for other developers", mostly because they're busy shitting out rubbish, buggy titles riddled with micro transactions (or whatever nonsense they can get away with to nickel and dime their customers)

People took note of how great BG3 is because it's just a good game, you're not be treated as a resource they can squeeze to get extra cash

Sounds like if they had no good faith intention of even testing the water block they should have done the morally correct thing and told billet they're not going to review it. But doing that when they've already looked at it would be a waste of content yeah and they want a return on every dollar and second spent.

Do they really think their service is worth 12-15 bucks a month?

Linus has already put out a response and it's not great either. There's some points of contrition, that it was done on his watch so ultimately he's reasonable, but overall he justifies their actions as a company coming into it's stride and being transparent with their mistakes (instead of them just rushing out content without proper vetting)

It's not a great look, but it's one I've come to expect from him given how he's handled previous community backlash with the backpack, screwdriver and other scenarios.

Really disappointed that after a solid 3-4 months of dev diaries, open communication and hype for the game, they drop this performance bombshell on us at the last moment.

They get points for at least giving everyone a weeks notice, but that's clearly a calculated move (compared to if they kept it quiet entirely and it launched with people unaware)

I'm not instead on playing sub 60 FPS games at 1080p, especially not when I've got a 4090+13900k and it crushes almost every other game in existence. The game isn't pretty enough to justify such terrible performance, it's just purely unoptimized now.

Why there's no DLSS / FSR also at launch is baffling, it helps GPU bottlenecked necked games greatly (even if boosting from a native 30 to 60 is a bit yuck)

Really disappointed

Never forget that this cunt took the best parts of Reddit from us, cheers for that mate

Who are these 50% of Aussies who think we need more locally produced content on streaming services? Our content sucks, who's actually watching these Aussie dramas / series

Good luck doing that too Nintendo. They're professional dicks

I miss the random non tech centric communities from Reddit. The userbase here, across the fediverse as a whole gravitates towards more tech focused aspects and while that's fine, you miss out on the random topics / subreddits you'd find on Reddit.

(The answer isn't also 'just start that community here', specially I miss randomly getting topics from subjects I wouldn't even search for, but just get surfaced because of the shear amount of content and users Reddit has)
