I'm still addicted to the new factorio expansion. 125 hrs on my current save and counting. The factory must grow!

Pepe is a beloved internet meme, not a symbol of hate. Rightoid asshats need to leave pepe and doge the fuck alone. >:(

Oh! I'd never heard about this game before now, but it looks really cool. Too bad about denuvo though, that's a nope from me too.

However, I think he did take donations for early access to new titles,

When video game companies accept money for early access to their games, that's a sale. You give them money, they give you access. I'm not sure why that wouldn't also apply here.

From your description, unless you were allowed to donate $0 for access, that sounds a lot like a sale to me.

So was this just a purely "everyone's doing it, so the customers (shareholders) expect it, so we'll follow suit" type thing? Do mass layoffs inspire confidence in the stock so it goes up? It's hard to understand from a rational position that throwing away money makes money for the investors.

I really wanted to like DS. The world seems really interesting, and so does the story. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance, but I found the gameplay to swing between boring and frustrating, with a side of gorgeous scenery.

Wordle gets a lot easier with some strategic opening word choices. The basic strategy is to pick words eliminating RSTLNE early (the "wheel of fortune" strategy), as those are the most commonly used letters.

There's also a more specific strategy aiming to win on the 3rd guess by maximizing common letters and placements using two predetermined opening guesses. "Clint" and "soare" were found to be the most optimal, but any combo on that list would be a very good pick.

Honestly, in a managed environment, there's not really much learning to do. All the hard part of learning Linux is dealing with system issues, or when shit breaks. In corporate land, you've got IT staff for that.

The biggest hurdle would be learning libre office, but considering the average white collar level of mastery of MS office is pretty poor, the basics really aren't that different in LO.

I'm not entirely sure since it wasn't my comment, but personally I wouldn't find it unreasonable to dislike a platform solely based on who owns it, and want to discourage its use. That's especially true for someone in the fediverse, as I think most of us ended up here due to the continual enshitification of reddit.

I read it more as someone just venting annoyance about the article relying on twitter embeds in the first place -- something that's not unreasonable to block -- more than looking for a solution.

No, the Linux community is dimensionless. Physical objects cannot fit within it.

Hope this helps.
