Would you care to expand on this? My impression is that he did what he did out of ethical concerns, and has paid a high price for it.

I mean, they made the emoji movie. And fucking battleship. Nothing’s too far-fetched. A family drama based on Connect 4? Why not! How about Dwayne Johnson stars in an action movie based on Hungry Hungry Hippos? It’s all too plausible now.
You wouldn’t download a baby?!
Yeah, I only looked it up because I remembered being charged for dropping off a broken TV at a Texas location.
It looks like they’ll take certain items free, while others (like non-Best Buy branded televisions) you have to pay them to recycle. In California there’s no charge for store drop-off; I imagine because they have a dedicated e-waste recycling fee.
Happy to see that nearly all the biggest Lemmy instances are blocking it, with the glaring exception of lemmy.world, which is the largest by far. lemmy.world is to lemmy as AOL was to the early internet—the default bucket for those who don’t know any better.
Yeah, social media algorithms are doing a lot of damage. I wish there was more general awareness of this. Based on personal experience, I think many people actually like being fed relevant content, and are blind to the consequences. I think Lemmy is great, because you have to curate your own feed, but many people would never use it for that very reason. I don’t know what the solution is.

Yeah, and if Indiana Jones hadn’t stuck his nose in, it never would have happened!
I guess it is just some nerdy dude. At first glance, I took it for Sue Perkins.
There’s no algorithm feeding you content on Lemmy, which I think most of its denizens regard as a good thing. I certainly do. You’ve got to self-curate! Of course, some of the curation occurs at the instance level, with admins defederating other instances. But you’re free to make accounts on any number of instances, or even host your own! I think Lemmy’s really grown on me.
And yeah, there’s lots of furry porn, if you’re into that.
Their later stuff got really meta.
I really don’t see these $3500 VR goggles (or any other goggles) being widely—or hell, even narrowly—adopted as a TV replacement. There are frankly an exhausting number of reasons why not. For one, it would only make sense for those who exclusively use their TV alone. That rules out the vast majority of television owners right off the bat.
It’s because Epic bought the Rocket League devs, Psyonix, in 2019. In 2020, they pulled it from Steam, to drive traffic to the Epic store. And yes, it’s also free to play now, but you still can’t get it on Steam, unless you bought it there before they pulled it. If you did, it still works fine on Steam today.
My wife once stuck her hand out the car window, and a butterfly landed on it. Separately, I witnessed a squirrel waving at her. Some people lead charmed lives.
Literally everyone is hoping that this is something we won’t have to deal with in our lifetimes.
Sure, and when you petition the people they follow, and ask them to drop the platform, they say they have to be where their audience is. It’s an ouroboros of apathy and cowardice.
I imagine the climate is better, though that’s a low bar to clear. We’re in a very narrow band now when I enjoy spending time out of doors. Soon we’ll return to the 10 month summer.
I’m pretty sure it’s a big truck, that you can just dump things on.
