Someone should tell these people about gasoline (or electricity) if they think "having to pay to use your car" is an insane notion.

Tgis is what gets called out, and not equating disabilities with illness?

You treat an illness. It's something you try to eliminate. A disability isn't something that has a cure, and often needs accomodations rather than treatment.

It's fascinating rhetoric if he is talking about the trade deficit. It really speaks to his habitual refusal to pay for products and services rendered.

He thinks paying for shit is for suckers.

Carney was a big deal back in the day. He might have the name value.

The charisma? No. But then, I don't think the most charismatic person alive could pull the Liberals out of their current spiral in the next 3 months.

But, it’s been mostly the AAA studios that produced massive, massive high-budget flops, and then they laid off a bunch of their staff.

Those are still failures on the publisher's part. This isn't 30 years ago. Most game studios are not independent, they're owned by the publishers, and the publishers have immense creative control.

No, but when developers and the rest of the teams see that it’s “live-service schlock”, they should start looking at their resumes, instead of thinking “well, my job is safe because it’s a large corporation”.

Really easy to say, but, believe it or not, during a time where the tech industry is actively shedding 10s of thousands of jobs, looking at your resume doesn't actually do anything for you.

Honestly, you seem to be saying "it's developers fault because I refuse to understand power dynamics". You may as well just scream "bootstraps" over and over.

Sites do not know about remote communities by default. Someone on your local site need to search their whole group address (group@remotehost) to make it known.

The fediverse, despite appearances, is local-first. Lemmy requires legwork to work with remote sites.

Is this the same guy who was hiring for web devs just a few weeks ago?

Well, you see, the combination of mayonnaise and melted cheese creates a chemical chain reaction in my brain that makes me feel good.

Nah. They just believe it will make stock values increase (or that not doing thr AI thing will cause stock values to decrease).

Remember, a publically traded company produces shareholder value. How they do it doesn't matter.

"Don't disrupt anything with your protest. Be small, and unseen."

"Also, don't interfere with the operation of your boss's business when striking. It's really shitty when they lose revenue, and when I don't get my doodads in a timely manner!"

Remember when forums would be super active with, like, 500 users?

"Millions of users" is a vanity stat. The critical mass needed to keep a discussion group alive is actually quite small -- assuming you're interested in, you know, discussing things. So, how active "Lemmy" is is entirely dependent on which topics you're interested in.

Bannon is an anger salesmen. Anger salesmen don't sell you somene else's anger, though -- they can't. Instead, they package up your own anger, and sell it back to you.

Bannon sees the the reaction people are habing to CEOs right now, slapping a big ol' bow on it, and selling it back to people.
