That’s the Cheesecake Factory.
I don’t want a bio.
That’s the Cheesecake Factory.
I hope they get a slew of new moderators who make every subreddit unbearable by deleting every good post and leaving only bullshit ones.
You want to give Reddit bad press? Stop posting links to Lemmy. Start posting links to fetish porn.
It isn’t meaningful. It’s just picking one fall guy for your ire, and not coincidentally it’s the only Reddit executive anyone knows. Just leave the site if you don’t like the direction the Board is taking the company. Otherwise you’re still driving their user engagement numbers.
That Nautilus Terminal says it no longer works on the GitHub page. https://github.com/flozz/nautilus-terminal
Which sucks because that sounds great.
Can’t live without the terminal? Embed it directly in the file manager.
How?

Reddit isn’t looking for immediate ad revenue from Place users. Reddit is looking for the extreme engagement of Place to have great stats to show investors and advertisers.
If you’re going to protest, do it in a way that will upset Reddit’s ability to sell ads and stock. Put goatse on there. Drop hateful racism and misogyny. Link to The Flash torrents. Post hentai.
Reddit absolutely expected it. Wanted it, even. Reddit is going to show prospective investors its usage and engagement statistics for the duration of Place to demonstrate its continuing viability even after the API controversy.
Reddit is doing Place to demonstrate continued engagement despite protests. People should stay logged out. But if they’re going in, people should hit them where it hurts:
“Reddit ads support Child Porn”
“Short Reddit Stock”
“Reddit Fakes Views”
Meh. From my antitrust course in law school (which was admittedly a long time ago), nothing about this screams antitrust. I don’t see that this deal gives Microsoft monopoly power over any defined market, and Microsoft definitely hasn’t flexed any existing monopoly power over the gaming space.
Certainly Microsoft has a history of anticompetitive action and flouting monopoly power whenever it has the chance in a sector. But I don’t see this deal as giving Microsoft a vertical or horizontal monopoly. It’s just typical consolidation within the industry. It’s not for consumers, but it isn’t the result of illegal price fixing type arrangements between competitors or using an existing dominant market share to overpower the market. That isn’t illegal. That’s just a shitty industry with shitty practices.
The best argument against allowing the deal to close, under US law, is likely targeted towards the cloud and subscription models. Microsoft really does seem to have a huge edge there. But I’m not sure anyone in the industry (except Epic Games) wants to challenge the subscription practices on another player’s hardware.
So telling that Sony waited until the weekend after the Ninth Circuit denied the temporary injunction appeal. This is the same deal Microsoft proposed months ago as a means to offset anticompetitive concerns. Sony waited to give the FTC ammo for the case, but otherwise was ready and willing to ink the contract.
I’m not a fan of massive consolidation of media companies (though I think that goes without saying for most fediverse users). But using Call of Duty as a rallying cry was a false alarm from the get go. Microsoft recognized from the outset that would have been a dealbreaker. Microsoft offered great terms to Nintendo and Sony to guarantee continued access on all current platforms.
For me personally as a consumer, Zenimax and Activision are about the only viable options I can see to give Microsoft decent single player games. Microsoft has been so far behind Sony and Nintendo for so long. Microsoft has tried to build a stable by adding smaller developers, but they just can’t match Sony and Nintendo AAA products.
Yeah, this is actually called Pretend Ego Drop Online, or “PEDOing.”
I only see Chromium and Chrome on the speedometer for Linux, not Firefox. Am I missing something?
