I’m convinced he doesn’t need any of that, and if he decides to publish another game he can damn well take his time doing so.

He doesn’t owe you shit - he doesn’t need the money - he’s doing this because he loves to make games.

Why the fuck would you impose bureaucracy onto free creative expression? Just for your own selfish enjoyment?

Shame on you

The proactive part is when they shut your account down and report it to the cops but yeah, the cooperating with interpol by providing data that they claimed they didn’t keep is damning.

They’ve been cooperating with law enforcement and handing data to the cops proactively since 2021.

Pay attention.

The writing was on the wall for proton for a while now

As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.

I mean the arguments themselves were fairly cogent, all things considered. The prosecution got grilled pretty damn hard too.

Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.

They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

I mean it doesn’t seem like his sister thinks it’s satire. Poes law etc

NYC has the lowest crime rate of any US major city by a lot.

Yeah I’m speaking from experience here in that about a third of my pay is in stock.

I wouldn’t say my pay is low though, for what it’s worth.

I hate OpenAI but this just seems like parents unable to process their grief.

I’ve seen how hard suicide is for parents to process and how much they blame themselves. Another option, one that doesn’t lead to the painful and repetitive soul searching, would be hard to ignore.

Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.

Corn syrup is no worse for you than any other sugar.

It’s definitely added to a ton of things but that’s because people like sweet shit. The corn syrup doesn’t hurt you - the overconsumption of any refined sugars causes diabetes.

Removing corn syrup and adding white sugar is just as bad.

The equivalent of 81k today is 62k in 2016.

If you graduated in 2016 and entered the workforce 62k would’ve been starvation wages in a lot of cities, but could sit you ok most other places.

You can hit “take screenshot” but it results in a black frame iirc. Same for screen record.

iPhone absolutely has this concept

My theory on why he’s doing that is since he sees it as inevitable he’d rather have it happen on his terms/under his control.
