I’m glad you have family members who you are close with.

Blood is thicker than water does not hold true for many people though, sadly. Especially not queer people.

I played and loved all of the Hitman games up until the World of Assassination trilogy because I couldn’t figure out what edition to get and all of the different editions felt like a cash grab.

American here: honestly would not mind if Canada came and did that again at this point. Please help us get the Nazis out of the White House.

Yeah, angrily jabbing a phone screen realllllyyyy does not have the same satisfaction whatsoever.

According to the report, while 54 percent of developers canvassed said there had been no layoffs at their company over the last year, 35 percent said either they or their colleagues had lost their jobs.

Yeah, its 35% of the people canvassed for this report. Even then, not all those people were laid off - some of them are people who know somebody who was impacted.

Really glad to see this. I’m appalled at how little grad students are paid given their very large role in keeping universities afloat (teaching classes and helping with research).

Might just be me looking at the game with rose colored glasses and the game may not have aged well - but I remember having a blast playing Golden Sun as a kid. I think you’d enjoy it if you like JRPGs.

I think Xi is counting on the west to be too distracted by Ukraine and Israel to effectively support Taiwan.

Also, speculation on my part - but this feels like the usual posturing/distraction playbook. China’s economy isn’t doing so hot and the government’s bungling of COVID is still fresh in everyone’s minds, so what better way to make people forget about that than to saber rattle?

Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and preceded by the CIA-operated Radio Free Asia (Committee for a Free Asia), it was established by the US International Broadcasting Act of 1994 with the stated aim of “promoting democratic values and human rights”

Uh wow… TIL. Absolutely not an unbiased source whatsoever.

Maybe it’s just morbid fascination with the slow motion trainwreck that’s Twitter?

Link to tweet.

Yup. That’s been my experience too.

I also get aggressively pushed some conservative news sources in my main feed even though I never subscribed to any of those.

This sucks. I really liked SmartNews but this explains why it’s been so terrible as of late.

What’s funny is Google pushed me to turn off all my targeted ad preferences + watch history on YT. I basically did what you did and they started pushing me PragerU and other weird conservative ads, so I just straight turned everything personalized off. And pretty much stopped using the platform.

Yeah. It’s a joke given their executive comp is higher than the awarded amount.

Keming strikes again!

Gotta collect ‘em all!

The repo still exists. GitHub is just having an outage

That’s why they cut off outbound communications. If you don’t photograph or video them doing war crimes, then they’re not committing them, right?

I was just amazed that it took him so long to roll out a predatory monetization model…
