Last time I paid attention to this game like 15 years ago it had a bunch of unfathomably wealthy digital landlords who possessed the only "master" copies of blueprints of all the components and weapons in the game, and if people wanted to manufacture those things for sale they had to pay the master copy holders for a copy blueprint that was limited to a certain number of uses.

Their business model differs from most defense giants because they develop the "product" (mass murder machine) first before selling it to the government, all the others do it on contract according to requirements. So it makes sense they would do ads like this I guess.

I didn't know anybody actually used Java Springboot by choice, I thought it was just the sort of thing that is put in recruiter spam for the most dead-end jobs imaginable
Mastodon is not bad although it is Going Through It right now about how if you’re a person of color the platform is absolutely terrible because it doesn’t have any safety features.
