YouTube is getting particularly bad about this to, unfortunately. They need to do more to remove harmful misinformation, but they don't care because it won't make them money.

Yep, we are what make these sites important.

That's why I'm always interested in self-hosting. I have my own Plex and Jellyfin seedbox server for the private trackers I'm in, with a VPS hosting an OpenVPN to make it look like I'm in a different country, just to make it that much safer. It works damn well.

They can just mandate RTO without actually calling it a layoff and know many workers will outright quit, and the business won’t have to comply with whatever local regulations are in place around layoffs.

It depends on where you live. In some countries, if they mandate RTO but your employment contract does not specify that you must work in an office, then that's a constructive dismissal and you can go on employment benefits like unemployment insurance.

You're not wrong and I'm shocked this hasn't been shut down yet. Not to mention, the Nintendo 64 has been discontinued for years, but I have a feeling that won't stop Nintendo.

I think it depends on where you live. Hiring didn't go crazy where I live, but the layoffs afterwards sure did.

First a nearly unprecedented world-wide pandemic followed almost immediately by record-breaking layoffs then AI taking over the world, man it is really not a good time to start out as a newer developer. I feel so fortunate that I started working full-time as a developer nearly a decade ago.

I find it ironic that they claim any sleight against them to be antisemitic.

It's because it's the easiest thing they can do. If you claim someone is racist, everyone will (usually) automatically believe you.

I tend to buy on both Steam and GoG. That way I can have my preferred client but also have downloadable full copies of games.

Yeah, I put on Blinding Lights.

The question isn’t “are they safer than the average human driver?”

How is that not the question? That absolutely is the question. Just because someone is accountable for your death doesn't mean you aren't already dead, it doesn't bring you back to life. If a human driver is actively dangerous and get taken off the road or put in jail, there are very likely already plenty more taking that human drivers place. Plus genuine accidents, even horrific ones, do happen with human drivers. If the death rate for self-driving vehicles is really that much lower, you are risking your life that much more by trusting in human drivers.

But if a human driver is dangerous, and gets put in jail or get taken off the roads, there are likely already more dangerous human drivers taking their place. Not to mention, genuine accidents, even horrific ones, do happen with human drivers. If the rate of accidents and rate of fatal accidents with self-driving vehicles is way down versus human drivers, you are actually risking your life more by trusting in human drivers and taking way more risks that way. Having someone be accountable for your death doesn't matter if you've already died because of them.

Is it any better if you have "Killed by Bill Johnson's SUV" on your headstone?
