The same story of publicly traded companies again and again.
Your steady growth isn’t good enough.
Your growth has to grow - and if it’s not growing fast enough then you’re not doing your duty to the shareholders.
Add in the fact that we’ve let businesses get so large they empty all the air from the room and we’ve managed to enshittify our entire society.
It’s wild that we have these weird videos that play out when we sleep and people aren’t more interested in them honestly.
I like hearing about people’s dreams!
They really could work on their branding a bit
Haha oh man it’s weird to see this mentioned so many years later.
I helped organize that protest. Thanks for coming down with us!
Sometimes I ask it for music recommendations.
But mostly I tend to just use it like a fancy thesaurus when I’m low on mental energy.
Sometimes I remind myself silently “just listen”
Gotta love going full bonfire in the middle of a crowded town over something totally stupid and inconsequential just to make a point.
The 40 motes for udon soup thing is weirdly accurate.
I’m now naked in bed, and this would probably get my boyfriend excited.
As a person who cares about the gaming ecosystem, I think it would be really healthy for Microsoft to not have full market dominance.
They’re busy making studio acquisitions which are gradually centralizing the market, which could become very problematic if they start taking anticompetitive approaches to distribution.
More people on Linux means more pressure for software availability on Linux, and if people can just move over relatively easily that prevents Microsoft from going full corpo-digital-prison-hellscape.
I noticed when I fly a lot of airlines include models of the plane you’re on in the in-flight purchase pamphlet. They’re pretty simple, probably fine for a kid - on the off chance you’re flying somewhere for the holidays.
All the activity in every zone I visit really does just feel so great. There’s no better sign a game is alive and healthy. It was totally that which hooked me.
I still play EVE online, having a lot of fun in faction warfare these days.
A video came out on the history of the game recently, just a cool 6 hour deep dive. https://youtu.be/BCSeISYcoyI?si=1sKdXt8oPRUTbzs1
I’ve also gotten into Guild Wars 2 recently and I’m a little addicted. The game just feels great: nice community, events are engaging, so much stuff to do but at the same time not demanding like games can be sometimes.
I was reflexively mad reading the start of this comment but by the end you had me 100% sold on your analysis.
It’s a relief valve though. As someone who has suffered from unavailable care, black market drugs probably saved my life. I’m not terribly against adults being able to make such decisions on their own judgment.
