EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during ‘Replay’ moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being...
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
“but if we pirate things the singers won’t get anything!”
yeah, fuck the music companies and fuck the movie companies. The moral thing to do is to pirate everything you want to watch, read and listen to.
the actors, writers and singers and everyone working behind the scenes are already getting next to nothing for their hard work compared to what the executives at all those corporations are getting for just sitting on their asses.
…sorry I blacked out, what were we talking about?
You should never pirate anything! that would be bad!
but I don’t want robots to be a thing. And I don’t want autistic people to be viewed as some kind of tool for the billionaires to get richer
A lot of shitty video game companies and other billion dollar corpos are looking for autistic people to hire because they’re less likely to complain about not getting a good wage or about working extortionary long hours under threat of being fired.
I don’t care what your race, gender, disability or whatever is. the minimum wage should be higher than the cost of living and everyone deserves an equal piece of the profits of a company they work for on top of getting a living wage and benefits. For the executives that contribute nothing, that means a lot less money, for the people who actually work at the company, that means a lot more.
If you devote your time to the operation of a business, you deserve to be paid and to be paid well.
Any company that wants to take advantage of autistic people not being informed about their rights as a worker should be broken up and the executives should be put in stockades in a public square.
I don’t use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn’t find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.
Oh no! Our poor sensitive little eyes might be offended by something we see! I need a nanny-state to go through everything I have access to so I don’t get confused!
If I got offered a free vacation? somewhere in Alaska and I’d never post pictures that could potentially lead to revealing my real identity online anyway
Okay…the video game industry is going to crash any day now.
They keep raising prices, lowering quality, abusing their devs and now they’re also making everything more restrictive. And There’s also several games out there that require you to disable your core isolation to install them.
If it won’t run with core isolation enabled, it’s malware. That’s the rule every windows user needs to start following.
Obama pretended that Flint Michigan’s water was fine, Obama opened the arctic to oil drilling twice, Obama allowed fracking to happen, Obama gave the cops military hardware, Obama sent riot police to crack the skulls of Dakota pipeline protestors
Obama started wars in 5 additional countries…at least…on top of breaking his promise to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan
Obama signed a bill into law that allows propaganda to be shown to American citizens.
Or maybe put it on one of those super low-to-the-ground tables that they have in some places in Japan where you kneel at the table instead of sitting at it.
and the pedestrian-emergency-break on tesla cars, and many other cars with that feature will malfunction sometimes causing people behind you to rear-end you.
