  He made $12000 off each fired employee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What? FF14 is currently running laps around wow’s sub numbers, wow hasn’t been the most active MMO available since before bfa and the bootlicking cratered it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fret, check your spam folder⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In programming, this is called ‘Rubber Duck Debugging.’

  The televangelists, in this case, were the rubber duck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had to read it 3 times to make sure⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep seeing this all over the place and not once has it ever been sourced. Frankly this just screams of more epic games astroturfing to make people think valve bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla faces a privacy complaint over Firefox's tracking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Google is spending a lot of cash to make Firefox look bad so people are unmotivated to change away from Chrome when manifest v3 is fully rolled out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s cheaper than actually implementing working anti heat instead of just stealing control of your computer and leaving gaping vulnerabilities on it.

  After all, why would they care? It’s not their computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla exits the fediverse and will shutter its Mastodon server in December | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Google really wants to make sure you can’t escape their ad-riddled bullshit when they get rid of Manifest v2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exographer is a metroidvania inspired by real science - will be fully Steam Deck playable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad I’m not the only one to immediately think of that.

  What a weird headline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re getting down voted because it’s not 1990 anymore. Working for free just gets you abused, not a foot in the door.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Epic Games is really hoping to turn people against steam any way they can other than actually improving their service or morals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the entire design of it is to mathematically prevent you from having the option to hack or block the ads. THe way to get around it is to… not use chrome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone ever used it⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But how else would I taunt someone after falcon kneeing then off the stage in smash bros?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My mental state⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  looks like a cherry starburst to me, which are pretty common to have the wrapper stick to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, it’s almost like that’s why they said you didn’t need a graphics card, instead of saying you didn’t need a GPU!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  4chan was a bit different in that it was anonymous to begin with- and more to the point, it was self-volunteered verification, not a mod-driven requirement.

  As for reddit, mods were requiring private verification photos LONG before patreon and onlyfans even existed in the first place.

  AMAs, agreed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate to break this to you, but there was in fact subreddits that publically required full-body full-face nudes in poses of the mod’s choice for verification.

  That ain’t me being in bad taste, it’s just me doing basic observation. Some subreddits it was about verification, yes. Some it was about consent. Some of them it was about the mods being horny. And most of them, it was some combination of the three.

  To pretend that it didn’t happen is… well, casual erasure of sexual misconduct of the mods, frankly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure it started because nsfw subreddit mods realized they demand naked pictures of women that nobody else had access to and it made their little mod become a big mod.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The only thing keeping us Millennials going at this point⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey bud, if you’re constantly seeing nothing but assholes everywhere on both reddit and Lemmy, you might want to consider that it’s actually you that are kind of acting like an asshole.

  Just something to consider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨should i??⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s for holding onto while playing, there’s literally stickers on the machine saying to do it. The old machines even advised it during the health/safety prompts. This guy has absolutely zero fuckin idea what he’s talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep seeing this sentiment on these posts, often with a suspicious number of up votes that don’t seem to correlate how many up votes everything else in the topic get.

  Literally the only place I have EVER seen this issue was a state toll road website, which was using a timezones that didn’t actually exist but chrome added (and documented on the Internet to trick people into using it). A simple email to the website with an explanation and the correct timezones name and the problem was fixed.

  Pretty sure a lot of this sentiment is either astroturfing, or people passing on astroturfing trying to be helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You do, in fact, actually redo character models and other stuff for a beta release. This is early alpha, they’re using placeholder models and textures, probably from previous Tribes games, nailing the core gameplay loop before working on graphics.

  This is standard practice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using Fandom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately they just use a bot to revert those. You’re not allowed to truly migrate off fandom, all you can do is fork your own data and try to out-SEO the fandom wiki, because as soon as you put it.on fandom, fandom owns it too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America is so great we privatized taxes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the same chucklefucks that keep pushing to provatise insurance even harder in the US are defunding Canadian health systems so 1. It can’t be used as an argument against privatisation and 2. They can go ‘look at how badly this works, we should provatise Canadian healthcare!’

  They create the problem with Canadian healthcare, and then offer a solution that puts half the money in their own pocket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung joins Google in RCS shaming Apple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll notice Signal backtracked on supporting SMS as soon as they got an ex-Googler as their new leadership.
