Valve is interesting. Enshitification is the standard for something like social media. Corporations are the real customer and users do creative labor to keep it valuable.

Valve flips the script. Developers struggle because they are only expected to labor. Studios don't get the full value of their labor. They might be a huge corporation but they are a worker to valve

Would hate to be "left behind" in expressing myself?

I know he means exploited workers making Kellogg's ads or something, but it's such gremlin mind to think this way about art.

Glad the dev is managing their capacity, hopefully others will maintain it. Unfortunately phone sync is tightly controlled, limited to paid storage services, as offered by the phone makers.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) this appears to be untrue.

Polaris is a cluster of stars formed about 2 billion years ago. Sharks originated about 450 million years ago.

One star of Polaris (Aa) appears to be 50 million years old, but it seems likely due to a collision of stars which added mass to it.

As someone who only uses default kde settings: no!

This is the type of change I wouldn't notice until a default created UX friction, and not being able to fix that change would drive me away from the DE. Having the option to hack at something means i can use it for much longer without concern.

Food identified from the research (not listed in the article):

fish/seafood, eggs, coffee, and white rice

Whatsapp CANNOT read messages when e2ee is enabled, this client-side snooping was discussed when the protocol was first implemented. Whatsapp collects a ton of metadata and social graph info, but not message content.

Another case of Dems preemptively giving up a win. This move is prevent a full repeal, but ...looks like backtracking which gives the repeal movement plenty of ammo

Those people are in for a rude awakening when it turns out an erased person can still give them a wack across the head.

VR hype/doom really tends to downplay the importance of material reality. VR offers no shelter, no food, no sex, no true impact in the world. It is only a platform for media.

This is true across tech workers. Having a nice salary kept unionization at bay, but there are no assurances during hard times.

These coordinated layoffs are almost certainly intended drive down labor costs in the long run by flooding the labor pool. Sure in a year we'll get "not enough developers" stories forgetting to mention the drastically smaller salary...

I haven't actually noticed this happening before now. My immediate reaction is if it is changes driven by the original creators I'd feel quite positive about it. Love to see personal growth. When driven by the studio though, I'm a bit more skeptical.

Either way, this is why modding should be protected. Let folks play historical/modern/hyper-weird versions of the game they love.

Does anyone know if the mods which currently exists use assets from the Pokemon games, or are community made? That's the real core of it imo.
