fedi is my home

Neurodivergent, certainly. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that a large majority of us are millenials. We've gone through this repeatedly in the internet age, changing chat or social platforms. We're the early adopters and eventually everybody on earth comes to crush it to death and then we rebuild somewhere else.

Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own

This whole thing is utter bullshit. It sounds like the game studios DO have a license, and they're claiming that Steam does not but should. Because you can't tell me that Microslop, EA, and Rockstar, three ENORMOUS giants in the gaming industry, have willingly opened themselves up to litigation by not licensing music in their games, something they've been making for decades. Why are they entitled to a license from the developer AND a license from the shop selling it? Of course, they're not, but let's hope this doesn't set precedent that says they are.

Hyundai to invest $2.7 billion in Georgia plant expansion after immigration raid

“We’re very happy to have announced the additional 200,000 unit capacity, in total $2.7 billion of additional investment which is going to give more confidence to the State of Georgia and our partners while all this visa and immigration issues get resolved immediately.”

I thought they had already learned the hard way, this blows my mind. What are the chances that the South Korean government forced their hand instead of Hyundai making the decision here to back out?
