generally speaking i tend to believe people when they talk about abuse in the workplace especially when it’s a woman talking about the abuse she has suffered in a boys club workplace
you do you though. everyone’s free to believe who and what they want
no reason to think it didn’t
i used to love posting on DTG but it’s probably one of the most toxic communities on the internet, full stop
the dictionary definition of evil is “morally reprehensible”. you don’t need to overreact by going straight to a godwin
ruining a prototype product, talking shit about it, and then selling it is a lot worse than being “just an ass”
what they did to billet is goddamn evil
investor brian craig is a moron
idk if i agree with this. apple replaced the 30-pin connector w/ lightning in 2012, when the only other mainstream option would have been micro-usb cables which sucked ass then and suck ass now. lightning was great at the time not just because it was smaller than the 30-pin but also it was symmetrical compared to micro-usb
the first usb-c compatible smartphones didn’t start arriving until like 3 years after that, by which point there were already hundreds of millions of lightning-compatible devices and an entire ecosystem existing in the wild.
standards are great. pissing off your consumers again only a few years after a major transition, maybe not so much. but now after 11 years of lightning and 5+ years of usb-c being commonplace the bandaid is a lot easier to rip off
wasn’t true when lightning was introduced. maybe true now
oh same, if i go half a mile down the road to the next housing development they have cable, fiber, dsl, the works at prices equivalent to or less than what i’m paying for the fixed beam wireless connection.
utterly insane
yeah, i thought about it for a while. ultimately it’s so rarely an issue that i decided not to pursue it, but it’s funny nonetheless
super healthy, very competitive
did i mention that i barely get 5G service at my home but if i walk 100ft down to the street i get service?
where i live my choices are fixed beam wireless internet that caps out at about 75mbps, at&t dsl that caps at 10mbps, satellite or i guess Starlink
i do think there is a (unlikely) scenario where tesla’s value begins to shrink which causes a significant liquidity problem for twitter since there is no way the site is generating meaningful revenue now, but i think that kind of speculation is pointless in the end since who knows what similarly rich doofus he could get to bail him out.
depends on your definition of “die”. it is not going to go offline, but it will certainly cease to be of any moderate utility to most people and will cease to have any meaningful cultural impact within a couple of years at this rate
well the context was about the quality of the game and not how many units they sell, so :/
oh yeah the metacritic scores are good but i was referring to audience reception about characters, narrative, etc
fallout 3 in particular is a fun one because once people started beating it there was a general upswell of “what the fuck was that?” that was loud enough that we got a changed ending in DLC :)
the thing for me about starfield is that most of the game looks like a reskin of games i’ve already played (no man’s sky, elite dangerous) and the parts that don’t look like mainline bethesda fare but In Space, so my general vibe about starfield is pretty dismal
would be absolutely stoked for it to turn out well though. more games in space = good
looks super cool. felt the same way about s21 but still couldn’t bring myself to finish the pass for it though :(
