It was more than just managers and redundant positions that were laid off. And it was mostly blizzard employees laid off specifically.

Yeah, if I stopped using/buying a product just because the company behind it did something slightly shitty, I wouldn’t have any belongings, food, etc.
I use Firefox just as much as I use opera gx, I use them on each of my browsers. Opera gx is more primary but yeah…
I dont know what I would replace it with. Brave, I guess?
Currently never, but that’s because i dont go out much. If I went out more, even just for jogging. I would be extremely frustrated that my current phone doesn’t have a jack. Currently I have to have to so everyone around me can hear my phone as I don’t have a converted or a wireless headphone.
Oh I suppose my diseased father’s small channel with a few of his live music performances will be deleted. Lovely.
There is a lot of hidden data, something like a good 70% of my drive is taken up by “pther” and doesn’t tell me what “other” means or to get rid.a factory reset could help.
I do use this tablet still. Mostly for discord, reddit/lemmy before I go to sleep and sometimes when I wake up. The tablet works for those purposes.
Maybe, but as a rule I don’t care for watching videos on my tablet, anyway. I prefer my computer.
My phone is newer and can handle everything that my tablet can’t, but with it being a 2020 model, its probably only a matter of time where I stsrtseeing the crashing issue (despite technically being compatible with the app). The crashing issue has happened with every one of my devices over the years eventually. It’s one of the ways they keep us buying new devices.
Again, my tablet works and it works well. But outside of discord and lemmy/reddit, it’s become largely useless. Yet, because the mobile tech moves so quickly, they would have me see it send it to a landfill already.
Depends how much you care about shit working.
My tablet works and works well, but practically every site and game related app will crash. I can use discord, reddit/lemmy but thats about all my tablet can handle. It seems to handle YouTube fine, but i don’t use it on mobile because of the 50million ads.
My tablet isn’t 10 years old, yet. Again it still works its just…most things don’t work with it.
It still is neutral in that sense, but thst wasn’t the sense I was talking about.
“He/his” used for be acceptable for people/things of unknown gender as well. Point out a random animal on a walk to your parents and there’s a high chance that they will use male pronouns.
In some obscure mmo I played as a kid, someone was referring to a famous mod with male pronouns, going how it is acceptable If you don’t know the gender and it’s more polite than the alternatives. Now this was long, long, long before agender, and other gendered terms were really a known thing. If you were to told someone you were gender fluid or something like that, they would look at you like you just grew a second head. I don’t quite remember what was said, or why it was being talked about, it was around 20 years ago now. Things have changed since then.
I still fall back on the male pronoun default from time to time, but I try not to as much. But it is a learned behavior that is hard to break entirely.
When I first started messing with it, I was kind of neat and fun. I like making characters so I was using it for like story prompts and general outlines. Some were better than others, but it was neat for some inspiration and fleshing out. I never took it’s outputs 1:1.
But when I messed with it again recently. It was a lot worse. Like it ignored parts of my prompt. Like as an example a prompt was about a romance story, but the story was about character A and their family. The love interest character was barely a footnote and could have been removed entirely and nothing would have changed with the story outlines it was giving me.
I thought maybe it doesnt like romance prompts, so I tried less specific and more broad prompts from there, and it was the same thing of just… not outputting what I was asking it to. It got worse and worse and sometimes wouldn’t output anything at all.
The thing is, most of the accounts participating this year were bots made specifically for this. Yes it’s a burst of traffic, but it’s a burst of traffic that will drop off a cliff as soon as it’s over.
The botting was so bad this year that a small community or a single person couldn’t do anything, I tried to mess around with an 8 pixel space and as soon as I put a pixel down, it was undone.
The Germans had something like 50k or more bots set up for this. That’s why there were so many German flags everywhere.
Yeah, I still browse reddit from time to time (mostly when lemme feed is dried up or I’m at my computer. I don’t browse it for hours like I used to, though. And I haven’t made a comment that wasn’t on r/lfg for months.
Most of my feed is about Canada, makes sense, I live there. But a vast majority of it is right wing propaganda. Anti immigration, pro PeePee, anti Trudeau, etc. Every week a new right wing subreddit crops up.
