This is one of those situations where it once again shows that:

1. Private equity stakes in companies are bullshit and at the very least need to be utterly regulated to hell and back.
2. More specifically, it should not be allowed to buy a company “on debt”. If you want to buy somebody, you need cash-on-hand to do that. That’s the only allowed form.

That is amazing!

Uuuh, what is that example supposed to show me exactly? That the chat got moved to a new one?

It’s also important to consider that not only isn’t this about quitting entirely, it’s also specifically about beef (or other comparable meat). White meats in particular are still not good for the environment, but already like an order of magnitude better.

It’s just that beef in particular - also a type of meat that is frankly not even that good if I’m being honest, we’re all just used to considering it the best 🤷 - is absolutely horrible for the environment.

That’s meee! ✋

I still eat meat, but quite little, and quite rarely. There’s the odd salami at home, or every few months some ham for carbonara when I get guests over, or something like that. But it’s such a small percentage of what I consume now, I feel like I’m effectively vegetarian, anyways.

And yeah for most things I use alternatives because it turns out they’re often easier to handle. The Barista This Isn’t Milk is nice because it foams more reliably than actual milk and lasts much longer which is important as a single household.

That’s a bit of a shame, but tbh I was not expecting another re-implementation like for System Shock 1, anyways.

Which, if anyone here is still on the fence, is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended!

Yeah that’s how I understand it, too. They’ll do turn-based, but probably not in their “biggest” outings as they know action-based tends to (usually) sell better.

I wouldn’t exactly call it an MMO? I mean I get it for marketing purposes, sure, but it feels more like Valheim or so to me?

I mean that guy was a dickcheese even before he tried to torpedo this initiative. But wow did he add to his pile of stink.

Good riddance I say.

WTF.

Matt and Nicole are huge losses already, Nicole’s investigate stuff for example was amazing. Did you not read Polygun much in years?

Not bad for an early engine test demo for a game to be released in 2005. Impressive in fact!

I mean to be fair that’s a niche event in a niche sports form in one backwards country that can’t even get their gov in order. 😛

Jokes aside, it’s sad how far these agents/helpers have degraded. From the comparatively glorious Google Now that was black magic and would pull out tickets as you approached the starting point, recommend clothes and gear for weather at your destination and if you wandered around a few seconds told you where you parked your car, to nowadays being some AI slop that hallucinates shit constantly.

Plus it’s an actual straight upgrade, what with backwards compatibility and all.

People who genuinely think like this (as in, that users going to Bluesky is somehow bad, surprising or something only stupid people do) are the very reason systems such as Mastodon cannot work. And sadly they naturally pervade such systems, at a development, administration and user level.

Because the mastodon evangelists are horrible.

Yeah that’s another thing, Mastodon is kinda nice, except for its userbase. :P

In fact, the very reality of there being a three hour video of someone talking (as in, in written text this’d be a maximum of 10 minutes of reading, for a slow reader) about a supposed onboarding problem with the fediverse is irony at its finest.

Yeah… sure… if you always expand 10 minutes of content into 180 minutes using a wrong format, you might fuck up getting anybody to do anything. You seem to not want them to get what you’re trying to teach, maybe.

Did the fax go down from CrowdStrike? No. The superior communication medium!

I wish Germany would bring its sugar tax that we abolished in 1973 back. To be fair a lot of people are agreeing it has to come back by now, so chances are good that we’ll soon have one again.

For me it’s less positive, but still quite impressive!

That’s because it’s your username. To you it shows normal, all I see is hunter12. See?
