if they expect you to do a consultant’s work, they should pay you a consultant rate

i don’t know if it will help, but you don’t have to care about achievements even if you haven’t gotten them

if it were (verifiably) on video, it wouldn’t be paranormal, it would be science.

if you want paranormal content that may not be genuine i can recommend the horror section on netflix?

b) this is a remarkable incentive to NOT acknowledge criticism. I mean, if I’m Meta and I see this often, what is the incentive to not just force everybody to EULA away as much as possible?

how incredibly fucking dishonest. profit motive is more than enough incentive for them to continue to do what they’ve already been doing for close to two decades.

“don’t boycott exceptionally shitty companies or you’re responsible when they just get worse” is possibly the worst take i’ve seen so far on lemmy.

do you struggle to play peekaboo? how do you not grasp that they’re feeding into the same software ecosystem and your data is being stored in the same database?

not only did they gut the API for actual people, they carved out exceptions for “low volume users” to keep the bots inflating activity

now they’ve literally stolen from the people who paid to support the site in the first place. absolutely shameless

still, i’m shocked to read that his survival instincts wouldn’t overcome his conditioning. that doesn’t happen by accident, his captor knew what he was doing.

Mr Bin Omran told his rescuers he had at times seen his family from his prison, but claimed he had been unable to call out for help “because of a spell that his captor had cast on him”, local media reported.

i uh… huh.

i don’t know what he had to say about/toward voyager, personally. ‘the record’ as far as anyone who’s paid attention is concerned is pretty clear about who’s in the right and who’s a libelous, manipulative fuckwad.

the short answer is that only a few apps were willing to play ball, and reddit corp was able to walk back their initial (untenable) terms to a point where they could keep those apps afloat.

the long answer is that during the course of these ‘negotiations’, huffman publicly libeled the shit out of christian which forced christian to defend himself against the accusations by releasing recordings, and none of this is conducive to a healthy working relationship. neither christian nor huffman have any desire to work with one another at this point, so they don’t.

we’re still a minute away

just a minute tho
