It’s the bosses, but it appears to be an industry wide issue instead of just one company.

Nah.

The problem is that AAA gaming hasn’t really innovated that much in the last decade while development costs go up to fund better visuals. Worse, consumers won’t pay for the higher development costs.

I’m surprised that the gaming industry is as large as it is.

A lot of people are like that. It is just that the rich are able to do something about it.

I’m not surprised. Lemmy’s activity has been pretty static. I know some people want Lemmy and federated social media to grow, so these accounts make sense.

The teeth were very valuable.

The Thick of It

A show regarding a random UK ministry and the random cluster fuck off politics. The 12th Doctor is an enforcer from the PM’s office with a prolific use of profanity.

The writer ended up creating Veep in the USA.

This is going to be the weirdest perk for getting gold status on an airline’s frequent flyer program.

No one wants to go back to when first class was effectively the cheapest ticket price.

It won’t reduce jet fuel. It just means commercial planes can carry more cargo.

and he’s really into nightlife and partying.

Everything else I wouldn’t blink at, but I would wonder what kind of places Dad likes to party at.

It is more that there are fewer people who are more like-minded.

If Lemmy were to get larger, moderation would become more required.

It depends on the instance admins.

Also, you’ve had mod abuse, now you can have admin abuse here.

There are only three public universities that offer bachelor’s degrees in Iowa. Community colleges would absolutely increase the competition as community colleges could offer degrees closer to where people live.

The issue with Colbert is that economics is part of the reason why CBS cancelled the Late Show.

I’m sure that getting rid of the show to give Trump a favor was a plus, but late night television has seen audiences drop for decades. It is made even worse as video podcasts are taking up a lot of the role that late night talk shows used to take and are now popular enough that they are giving out awards for them.

I also don’t think that Paramount was as strategic about Colbert as Disney was with Kimmel or NBC is with Fallon. Disney commonly uses Kimmel as a way to promote other Disney IP. NBC now uses the Tonight Show as an extension of SNL to promote writing talent before they move on to different shows. In contrast, Colbert doesn’t really have any big clips with Star Trek actors.

That manhole cover.

Don’t.

I don’t think that the current structure is set up for growth. The devs have stated that they don’t see preparing for growth as a priority and we haven’t seen the kind of mod tools needed for a larger audience.

I also don’t see an onboarding process that has been created to explain to new users how a Federated Lemmy is different from Reddit.

Don’t just go to the city council, but reach out to others in the community. Politicians are a lot more likely to listen to a group of people than an individual.

Large corporations, especially those related to tech, will generally have a research arm of some form performing university level research. Outside of attempting to use the research to argue that their companies aren’t a harm to society, the research is generally legit.

The corporations generally do it to stay competitive. In the near term, research can be used to create patentable technology and new products. In the long term, the research can give an idea on what can be technically achievable in the future, allowing companies to increase their predictive capabilities.

As an engineer, a lot of engineers do a lot of dumb stuff.

Part of it is that a lot of engineers don’t think through the implications of their design. Part of it is that a lot of engineers coast by on the equivalent of copying other people’s code. Part of it is that budgets for projects are so compressed that you need a high performer to get it done on budget and getting that high performer in this case isn’t always viable. Part of it is that you need someone smart enough to do the job and dumb enough to not go for a higher pay position in another field.

Canonically, she is an excellent therapist.

Maybe, but as written she’s a bad therapist. Guinan ends up being a better therapist functionally than Guinan.
