Tech companies badly need to get their shit kicked in to stop with this "I have the right to change the terms unilaterally anytime"

Unity warns of likely layoffs following runtime fee decision
Is anyone believing they would not have layoffs anyway? They are likely just trying to pin their cost-cutting plans on game devs who protested against their ridiculous scheme. Comes to mind that the money their clients were already paying is the money that would have paid for those employees' wages.

Anti-LGTBQ “Million March For Children” outnumbered by “Billion March For Not Being Bigots”
Reply in thread
Bigots really want to pretend that some teenager discovering that they are gay or trans is a result of some massive conspiracy rather than, you know, they just being gay or trans.
They call it "grooming" when LGBT people simple exist in society where people might notice them, and they want to make such a scandal that people don't even think what is the opposite of that which they want.

I know and thank goodness for that... but there will be projects that simply won't be able to afford to move to entirely different engines. It's a lot of work that might have to be redone.

Charging "per install" as opposed to "per sale" will be goddamn awful. At best it might lead to DRM where you'll have a limited number of installs before you lose the game you bought.

Jack Dorsey is not why people wanted to leave Twitter though.
Big brands might like Threads but I doubt it will go as well for smaller creators.

Because at best Instagram is very fussy about keeping a brand-safe platform and an algorithm-driven feed that is not the sort of thing who favors smaller creators. Threads is an off-shoot of Instagram, likely it will be treated the same way.
When Twitter was at its best, people liked it for how it allowed them to keep up with current events, and to spread interesting content through viral sharing, as users with similar interests spread it among each other. I don't think Facebook will allow it to be user-driven enough for it to have this sort of organic virality.

And the players are the ones making them for themselves so they can just make the bad and false ones be insignificant if it bothers them so much.

An amateurish mistake. I bet their programmers don't even have thigh high socks.

Elon Musk appearance at Valorant Champions tournament met with boos, crowd chanting 'bring back Twitter'

Nah. Even that is giving him too much credit. There are better ways to end Twitter without ruining his reputation and undermining his other investments. He could have let that puppet CEO make the announcements and take the heat.
This shitshow is all to boost his own ego.

Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else
Reply in thread
I thought people on the Fediverse would be more appreciative of people doing volunteer work to maintain online communities but seems like a lot of users only think of mods when they get moderated or banned, not when the community is healthy and free from garbage.

Eldritch Horror Ninja Turtles
Given HP Lovecraft's known status as a paranoid raging bigot, I wonder if there's some game where the elder gods are cool actually, the "cultists" are just people broadening their horizons into cosmic queer transhumanism, and the investigators are just close-minded people wishing to restore their own sense of normalcy. Which, true to form, about half the time awaken into these horizons anyway.

I love me some Calvin Ball as much as the next guy, but there’s got to be a limit sometimes.
Some people play it like fantasy accounting, Some people play it like improv with fidget toys. Good thing I'm here to tell everyone the right way to play.
