Valve is interesting. Enshitification is the standard for something like social media. Corporations are the real customer and users do creative labor to keep it valuable.

Valve flips the script. Developers struggle because they are only expected to labor. Studios don’t get the full value of their labor. They might be a huge corporation but they are a worker to valve

Would hate to be “left behind” in expressing myself?

I know he means exploited workers making Kellogg’s ads or something, but it’s such gremlin mind to think this way about art.

Glad the dev is managing their capacity, hopefully others will maintain it. Unfortunately phone sync is tightly controlled, limited to paid storage services, as offered by the phone makers.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) this appears to be untrue.

Polaris is a cluster of stars formed about 2 billion years ago. Sharks originated about 450 million years ago.

One star of Polaris (Aa) appears to be 50 million years old, but it seems likely due to a collision of stars which added mass to it.

As someone who only uses default kde settings: no!

This is the type of change I wouldn’t notice until a default created UX friction, and not being able to fix that change would drive me away from the DE. Having the option to hack at something means i can use it for much longer without concern.

This is true across tech workers. Having a nice salary kept unionization at bay, but there are no assurances during hard times.

These coordinated layoffs are almost certainly intended drive down labor costs in the long run by flooding the labor pool. Sure in a year we’ll get “not enough developers” stories forgetting to mention the drastically smaller salary…

I haven’t actually noticed this happening before now. My immediate reaction is if it is changes driven by the original creators I’d feel quite positive about it. Love to see personal growth. When driven by the studio though, I’m a bit more skeptical.

Either way, this is why modding should be protected. Let folks play historical/modern/hyper-weird versions of the game they love.

Does anyone know if the mods which currently exists use assets from the Pokemon games, or are community made? That’s the real core of it imo.

Love the spirit, but the DMCA is a mixed bag.

Section 512 may allow for takedowns, but it also ensures web hosts face limited liability and aren’t litigated into hell when a user shares a spongebob meme. Really it’s up to sites to identify and defend fair use when they recieve takedowns, and imo excessive requests on fair use material should be harshly penalized.

Section 1201, which makes it a crime to tamper with DRM however must be destroyed.
