Nowhere in the article does the author pin blame on individual employees. "Tech industry" obviously refers to corporations, not individual contributors. The title isn't clickbait.

I get the sentiment. But to me personally, "redundancy" is pretty clear and doesn't mask the pain that comes with being let go. There's also generally a difference between being "fired" and being "made redundant". Redundancy suggests that their job doesn't need to be done anymore b/c of a restructure, bankruptcy, merger, and the company needs to meet certain obligations for that redundancy not to be considered an "unfair dismissal".

Sure is a videogame

I'd love to, but none of my friends use it unfortunately

Don't tell the furries

I dunno -- I'm sympathetic to the DLC argument, but bad performance isn't something I can forgive on launch day. I'm sure they'll patch it in time, but if I buy a full-priced game, I expect it to run decently well. Anything less makes for a poor user experience. If a publisher truly cares about user experience then they won't release a game in that state, or if they do, they'll make it 100% clear on the storefront that the game has performance issues.

Racism and lack of bipartisan support were likely huge factors as other commenters said. There was also division between Indigenous people regarding the efficacy of the Voice to Parliament. Some saw it as a great step forward, others saw it as toothless or symbolic, others still believed it would delegitimise their sovereignty over the land. The Opposition latched onto this for their own gains I believe. Together with Fair Australia (conservative lobbying group) they dealed in fear, misinformation and distrust. They absolutely dominated over social media and took control of the narrative very quickly. This became a lot easier for them due to the cost of living crisis. Take a White Australian in the outer suburbs or rural areas, tell them to care about this thing they don't understand instead of their rising mortgage payments and cost of groceries, when the Opposition is feeding into their latent ignorance and distrust of First Nations people that all Australians have, and you've lost them already.

Right, I see what you mean, so there'd be a power imbalance there. From my perspective, if drivers buddy-buddied with each other to that degree, customers would just flock back to Uber and the business would tank pretty fast. It would be more beneficial for the drivers to treat their customers well.

Haha, how are those quotes relevant? This just reads like nonsense to me

The author's arguing that BG3 makes Starfield look like a shallow RPG by comparison. Their broader point is that Starfield is behind the times compared to most RPGs released in the last couple decades, even compared to something like Fallout 3.

It's a term for a third gender used by some Native Americans :)

Curious about this, what makes it computationally expensive?
