Literally the comment above this one is talking about wanting to be a farmer because they grown good weed. A lot of people actually want to just clean up stuff. A lot of people like being a plumber. That said communism doesn't mean everyone just does what they want.

Good, any shit company that can't make living wages work don't deserve to be in business.

It also sucks for game development community too. I've been thinking of going back to Reddit. Lemmy is neat but the community is mainly Linux users who seem to purposely miss the point of a lot of things. Specially if you aren't making it using open source software.

Eh, I feel like the sampling is clearly biased toward those who would install a game engine through a service that auto-updates it. (Novices and hobbyists.)

Pretty silly to think "Oh that's the human's true motive, self-preservation! I got you now, you sly humans!"

Honestly it's really pointed to the fact that human are the issue, not the platform.

Equally can be said about Reddit, Twitter, lemmy, the rest of the fediverse, in fact anytime humans seem to have a large communication network they end up full of lies.

Nah it's not. Here is an even older one https://twitter.com/WindowsCentral/status/1410567226776825858/photo/1

Some mini black holes do not grow into black holes. They collapse. The issue is that they aren't stable for any decent length of time. Fractions of a nanosecond.

It's not that it's easier it's that it allows the companies to gouge you. If the store said the bottle of coke was 2.15 instead of 1.99 you might realize that it's not a good price for acidic sugar water and pick something else. Like the free water out of the faucet. This also means public water would be higher quality because people would actually use it and demand cleaner water.

Boats put out more CO2 than cars. Water is more dense than air and friction of tires and rolling and etc. Boats are overall worse for the environment both on climate change and environmental damage.

Game developer. I'm one now and I have 10 years of experience making great games. It's highly competitive but I could see myself getting it.

If I couldn't be one I'd them be a math teacher and apply game development to make algebra fun and interesting.

A good analogy to this is the emperor of America. He was just some homeless crazy dude in San Francisco in the 1860s. He attempted to price gouge the Chinese during their rice famine but shortly found himself under water on his rice contracts. This left him homeless and bitter so he named himself emperor of the United States. He somehow started printing his own money and some places feeling bad for him took it.

That's how the world sees America. Oh, the crazy folk are just down on their luck. They'll likely either die or end the world in a few years but at least they're making record profits.

What are video games? And what about books?

I absolutely agree. I'd want to say those threats are people outside of the industry. People in the industry have received death threats themselves so they understand that it's real shitty, right? I hope so.

Realistically, very little people know about x windows system even less care about it.

We are pretty dumb though. On the whole. We've had a lot of our higher education people emigrate.

I'm in America and I've always lived a 10 to 15 minute walk away from the store. It's that a long walk compared to Europeans? I think I was further from a store when I was in Germany for a week. Like 30 minute walk.

With 3rd places needing to be profitable, it puts a really big stress on them getting throughput. So then that turns them into bars, restaurants, pool halls, or arcades. If they don't they don't make money and they can't keep the space they are renting.
