Duolingo keeps doing mass layoffs, so the bird is overworked. You can help him out by switching to a language learning app that actually helps you learn a language instead of endlessly throwing flash cards at you without teaching you anything! Win win.

I look forward to this video every year. An industry animator talks about the best animation found in last year's games. There are always lots of games I've never heard of, and I end up appreciating something about a game that I've never thought about before.

They have one, but you also want information to be where people are. Especially if where people are is full of misinformation and rumours.

It's worth remembering that this guy says anything that's in the current trend because just saying those things helps share prices. Then nothing comes of it.

FF16 wasn't stuffed full of nfts or crypto or even microtransactions even though the president makes comments about this stuff.

These words aren't for you, it's for the market.

I know everyone loves Valve, but it feels super weird to be celebrating a monopoly so much and so ferociously. (I know Steam isn't a technical monopoly. We don't need to have that discussion)

Gaben is old, and he's gonna retire. It'll likely be a lot sooner than anyone here is comfortable with. When Valve gets sold, or even when gaben isn't in total control anymore, things are going to start changing, and there isn't going to be a healthy, diverse marketplace to soften that.

There is a very good chance that the PC platform will be a really horrible place because of the lack of consumer choice in which they can purchase and play games.

  3. People don't know how to pirate

He isn't a "really good business man", everything he's made is built on a foundation of lies. Eventually, it'll collapse or be saved by socialised systems for being too big to fail. Musk is a con man, not a businessman. He's just made a living out of conning investors and the public alike.

It's cool how you can be providing the labor for a company and then that company gets bought by another company and the shareholders who don't actually make the thing get rich and then you get fired because the other company has a bad year even though the thing you labored for is incredibly successful.

I'm going to choose to believe the CEO is actively trying to tank the share price for some reason. This is approaching get fired or sued by shareholders level.

It's E2E, E2E isn't really something you can be sneaky about unless you roll your own encryption and then make claims about it totally being safe bro

They, however, run the app you are using to type everything, the keyboard you are using to type everything and the os you are using to type everything. If they want something, they don't need to look at your in flight messages.
