Savor these headlines now. We probably won’t see any more like them for a long time.
Have you gazed into an abyss long enough to have the abyss gaze back into you, without becoming endlessly lost in said abyss? Congrats, you’re now team lead on the abyss project.
Are there any instances of a 3rd party making digital copies of games available and paying some licensing fee back to the copyright holders? Something akin to how book libraries handle ebooks?
Maybe Steam falls in this category a bit, but I’m thinking something more exhaustive and focused on games that are otherwise out of production.
Some of the companies involved that are mentioned in the article:
As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that’d mean Streisand effect is coming into play.
Regarding the topic at hand: I don’t care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the “free” button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.
Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.
Ah yes, that thing that sites mention on those annoying popups before making us sign away our privacy anyway.
Just logged in, just found it, just opted out. Thanks for the heads-up OP.
But fucking fuck. Can we put a stop to this? Legally? We could call it sometime like… The National Opt-out Policy Elimination (NOPE) Act or something.
I guess cuz it sounds enough like the much more common saying “as the crow flies”.
I have also never heard it used to describe direction, only distance.
I hate to post because I have loved and trusted Wikipedia for years, but the fact that there are folks out there who equally trust what AI tools generate just baffles me.
Get a load of this!! Get a load of this!!
I’d say stage 4 is being the keystone attendee: if you don’t go, the whole thing falls apart. Even if you somehow manage to get out of the meeting, it has to get rescheduled because it “needs” your input. The meeting thus becomes inescapable.
Stage 5 is when everyone else realizes you’re in stage 4 and begins to cater to your availability and preferences. Obviously this is mostly theoretical.
Continuing with the analogy, even the honest attempts to fix Mondays are characterized as impractical, idle fantasies.
How about we don’t schedule critical meetings to start first thing Monday morning? Even if that’s the “only” time everyone can meet? And if it’s really the only time everyone has available, doesn’t that warrant questioning a bit?
Or what if we just start later on Mondays? And maybe we consider not offsetting it but working later on other days? 39-hour week? 36-hour week?

Wait, all these baby hippo posts have been a single baby hippo? I thought people were just posting cute baby hippos.
Despite new evidence to the contrary, I will continue to hold this false belief 🦛
To me, this says that your workplace has acknowledged and accepted that the way they do business is leading to burnout, at least for some people. But rather than using that as evidence that their business practices need to change, they’ve instead opted to individualize the problem. Our growth projections aren’t unreasonably ambitious, you just need to do more deep breathing.
It’s like how I’m told to take a vacation to relax, only to return to the same (or an even larger) pile of to-dos that I left behind.
Edit: If this resonates with you, check out the book “McMindfulness” by Ronald Purser.
Does it need to be online and continuous?
Hot take of the day: academia doesn’t need social media.
This thread surprises me. Excel is fine, but I’ve seen people do so many silly things with it that it makes me dread having to use it. It’s like they treat every cell as its own special little canvas… Oh, you wanna randomly change the date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd-Mmm-yy mid-column? With Excel, anything is possible.
Maybe I just don’t work well with others.
I’d like to play Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, but I think I got close to the end of the game and haven’t done all the side quest / collectible stuff. So now I have to decide whether to just finish it and see how it ends, or go back and try to 100% it.
My indecisiveness will probably result in the secret 3rd option of putting it off and playing something else.
