even then, "he used to make games"… was he alone? did he not have a team with him? where are their billions?
valve is an alright company all things considered, but it’s baffling to me how many people act like they’re the second coming… people should know better. valve is a corporation operating under capitalism. they’re not above doing shady stuff for profit.
that moment when the One Good Billionaire™ casually orders a boat that costs several times more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes 🙃
i get that there's worse out there but i'm tired of people acting like newell is a saint... he's just another billionaire.
please
même si on va pas se mentir, le français a déjà eu les mêmes ambitions impérialistes que l’anglais (et reste une langue coloniale dans bien des parties du monde, incluant là où je vis)
on a pas les mains propres non plus…
toxic working conditions and sexual harassment (this article also mentions them doing sloppy reviewing that led to misleading videos, which is bad but imo nowhere near as bad as the rest, i kinda wish the article didn’t focus so much on it)
i also remember linus saying he’d refuse to let his workers unionize, saying it would "make him feel like a bad boss"
and he’s also said that floatplane (their video streaming app) would let anyone join no matter their politics, up to and including nazis, because "free speech"
they don't even run their servers anymore, it's not like the fan servers are competing with them...
is sony turning into another nintendo/disney? flexing their copyright muscle just because they can?
reports have indicated that he’s looking to join the seattle polycule 👀
i would be honored if you used this version but ultimately im just using a tumblr meme 😅
yeah this is funny
hold on, gotta duckduckgo something
finding ways to breach the containment of webviews inside of apps has to be one of my favourite pointless hobbies.

does anyone know what would cause this precisely? why would anti-fingerprinting mess with the colors i use to edit an image in the browser?
i'd be tempted to brush this off as the website being malicious and lying to get me to deactivate fingerprinting protection, but the website is fully open-source and what they describe happened to me on Piskel (a pixel art editor, which would constantly mess up my colors in subtle but annoying ways)
"single-handedly" lmao, as if newell is the guy doing all the work and not the valve employees who work for him… or, yknow, the contributors to all the open-source projects steamos is built on
proton and steamos would be nowhere today without the decades of work by the WINE/DXVK contributors, and the myriad of other open-source projects that make Linux into what it is. all valve did was add their proprietary client on top of that (as well as fund the development of proton, tbf, i'm thankful for them on that one… but again, that work was done by valve employees and contributors, not the billionaire CEO)
