They seem so directionless lately, and by god is AI the wrong horse to bet on for their users.

I should check out LibreWolf...

OpenOffice was a really solid Microsoft Office rival, and FOSS to boot. Made by Sun Microsystems, of course, and then ruined by Oracle (of course).

Thankfully LibreOffice was forked from it and is still going strong as a very capable suite of document tools. And OpenOffice is basically dead, womp womp.

I mean... yeah this clearly sucks ass, but as a silver lining, maybe it'll rebuild interest in nuclear.

A lot of pro-birth people argue "obviously things are different if the mother's life is in danger", but that ignores that there's often nothing obvious or definite about the line between "safe" and dangerous. Doctors are erring on the side of caution to avoid potential lawsuits and even jail time, and this is the result. People bleeding out in parking lots, suffering irreversible damage to their body, and people dying.

Paradox seemed like the ones to do it, what with publishing Cities Skylines, but unfortunately their life sim was canceled.

Paralives is still going strong in development, though, with a pretty constant stream of updates. Really hoping that one sees the light of day. They've already got a pretty impressive building system working, but they've got some big ambitions, particularly when it comes to adaptive interactions with character heights.

Yes, it's a parody group. Granted, most of the material is pretty bland.

I have all my monitors at maybe 10-20% brightness and still use dark mode for everything. It's the way of the cave dweller.

The most heinous thing is lack of required sick time. And who is it that's least likely to get paid sick time? Customer service, of course, the ones coughing and sneezing all over your clothes and food.

Just make sure you actually do get a payout, had a friend screwed over by that recently.

Honestly I've been getting more into baseball as I've gotten older. Just easy to chill out with.
