  • Because money.

    When you sell to a big corporation their only goal is to milk every dollar possible.

    And it will keep happening again and again until the system changes or people with more conscience than greed decide not to sell to the highest bidder.

    It’s not good enough to be profitable. It’s good enough when your current workforce is at its breaking point because you can barely get the required work done. Then you announce record profits, the investment banks expect even more growth next quarter, the employees are thanked with a canned letter from the CEO for their hard work, you cut a division in half while increasing their work, hire a consulting firm that will do a crap job on a project but you don’t have to pay benefits, and then give your employees a negative review for poor time management of an impossible workload and do it all again.

    I’m not jaded at all. :(










  • I mean, the non alarmist view here is that they are planning to use data provided by the various stores (Steam, Epic, etc) to determine installation count.

    Not defending Unity, I haven’t done enough research to have an opinion on the change; but this take seems to correlate two things that probably aren’t related. Plus, what’s easier to do: build a system that tracks specific installs of specific games to specific hardware or to ask Steam and Epic for install counts over the last X months.




  • Did you read the article? Pretty clear it’s more than even harassment…

    “These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," a post on a pro-Trump forum read in response to a post including the names of jurors, which was viewed by NBC News.

    Also, Grand Juries are secret, regular juries are not. That’s why these articles are all referring to them as the ‘purported’ jurors.

    If they did somehow actually get the jury members names and release them, that alone could (and should) be seen as a threat considering the secret nature.




  • I know this is ancient history at this point, but I wanted to circle back.

    I was not familiar with FODMAPs at all before reading the article. And since the article starts by calling it a ‘diet’ I made what I thought was the reasonable assumption that it was a traditional diet.

    After you responded I looked it up more generally and now understand that it’s less of a traditional ‘diet’ and instead used to help prevent some medical conditions from flaring up.

    That’s on me for not doing full research, and on the article for assuming everyone knows what FODMAPs are and why they are so important to some people.

    Sorry for my ignorance.
