“The word ‘philanthropy’ is often interpreted as someone who gives money,” he told the alumni magazine.

“But the Greek roots of the word ‘philos’ and ‘anthropos’ mean to love humans. What I have discovered is spending money is the easy thing, spending yourself is the hard thing. The 12 Neighbours project is how I can best spend myself.”yl

I'm not crying, you're crying... Sniff

Federal judge in DC postpones Trump's March trial on charges of plotting to overturn 2020 election

Jesus, how many years have the courts had to ponder if he is immune. At least 7? And you still don't have a fucking answer and we still going to let him hold this shit up with the same old bullshit.

Why doesn't it go the other way. Sorry dude you don't get in any ballots till you're cleared of insurrection.

Why don't we rage and protest like the French ,why is it always so acceptable that those in power never face consequences...

Federal judge partially blocks U.S. ban on noncompetes

"Did the federal government make a change for the benefit of the people, and might be an inconvenience to business.... never fear there's a judge in Texas to stop it and later when it gets appealed to the supreme court overturned!"

Why do I feel like we are held hostage by judges lately? Aren't they supposed to be unbiased and apolitical. Seems to me they should lose their appointment if they can be shown to have political motivation/ baises

Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees

I think people often hate steam for their success, but fail to see it's the result of customers'choice in a free market. (I see it enough I'm not sure if people get paid to hate on them... To ruin the thing they have most of customer respect)

Steam is not publicly traded and does not act like every other publicly traded company. It invests in its customers experience and custtomer come back for that. It does not nickel in dime or use its position to hold its customer captive and enshitfify its product. It's not an ISP...

It invests in hardware and software development it believes the industry needs not to make a massive profit but to be a champion of what gaming should be (Linux, steam link, index, bug picture, steam controller, steam deck) These products are experimental and usually sold at or near cost not to make money but to prove to the market there is a need and a demand.

They are often a champion and voice of the gamer.

They could have tried to be like Bethesda and tried to monetize their workshop but they didn't.

Sometimes they're quiet and we don't hear anything about what they're working on, but that doesn't mean they aren't working on things.

I can't imagine pc gaming would have survived and resurged without steam. And I hate to think what it would be like if there were just 5 epics, origin, Uplay, whatever other launcher. I think gaming would look like mobile games..,.. which takes a 30% cut too and can only sell in apple or android markets.... No one bitches there and they offer no services.

Developer of WalkScape (the fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL) here again. We're accepting new players and have a Lemmy community!

The game is a lot of fun and good motivation for walking.

But at a point the inventory management becomes a pain to manage and annoyance to switch gear sets around.

Hope you come up with gear sets to help ease these burdens and give some qol. Bank filter would help but still would be a pain to switch sets.

Keep up the good work.

Don't worry they are guarding your patient against "unnecessary care."

They have deemed without a medical license that no one should attempt to save the patient just let them die.

Because you know single payer care would result in death panels.....
