The circle of life

Literally was in a presentation at work the other day where they said someone used 2 million tokens and the next person used 1 million and they were so excited by it.

I didn't get it. I asked went 2 million was better than 1 million. The VP basically said it's not, just costs us more money.

So why the hell is the presentation acting like it's a fucking victory?

id Software insists in new statement that it still has "the crew we need to build the games and tech we're known for"

Yeah, we just laid off all the engine people we use to build the games we're known for.

And now we're moving to an engine none of us knows and isn't ours. What's the worst that can happen?

Totally certain Microsoft will be a good steward and give them time and money to completely transition to ...

The person that was writing about the sacking has been sacked. There are five lights.

Lemmy.world Is Anti‑Humanity. How Its Admins Weaponized Defederation to Silence Palestine Solidarity

Lemmy.world is run by Ruud, a man that lives in the Netherlands. He does not have the same legal protections as say Reddit. He has to obey his laws in his country. Looking up Netherlands laws, it would seem to me that having any user named "Murder all " is literally against the law in the Netherlands. So he has two choices. Literally risk going to prison, or having to take it down.

The brilliance of the Fediverse, as you realize because you've posted this on Piefed, anyone can create a server and build their own connections.

I'm against hurting anyone, but I'm in the US, where people have that right to say those things. Ruud isn't.

These servers have specific rules for their communities for a reason. Most aren't here to make money. No one is paying Ruud to keep people in power. He doesn't even have to run ANY service, but he is. Because he believes in the Fediverse. But he's still bound by his laws and it's his server.

I've spoken to Ruud on an episode. He's a lovely man that doesn't deserve this hate.

I understand the frustration. Lemmy.world is a large instance where there are tons of people, but you don't know the laws.

I'm not denying the censorship at all. I'm not denying that we need to speak out for Palestinians. But he HAS to follow his country's laws or there will be no services. And when you say ggod that's what you want, the more servers shut down, the more people will turn away. The more people are forced back to big tech where they will censor you to protect their investment. Reddit IS protected by that speech under section 230, but they'll still censor it.

The best you can do, start your own instance. It's possible it might be blocked by Lemmy.world if your server is breaking their rules. But at least you can get your message out.
