I’m convinced he doesn’t need any of that, and if he decides to publish another game he can damn well take his time doing so.

He doesn’t owe you shit - he doesn’t need the money - he’s doing this because he loves to make games.

Why the fuck would you impose bureaucracy onto free creative expression? Just for your own selfish enjoyment?

Shame on you

Hey thanks for the correction - my mistake!

It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.

Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That’s not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?

The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it’s consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.

As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.

Truth ain’t bullshit and thee bullshitters don’t stop unless they’re told.

Increasingly sick of people amplifying bullshit mostly

Good thing they had the budget

When the two sides did reach an agreement in November, that money was moved over to the fire department’s pot, according to Mr. Blumenfield’s office, meaning this year’s fire budget is actually $53 million more than last year.

Weird way to cut a budget

Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.

They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

Because it wasn’t defunded you fell for bullshit.

Even more funnily it’s bullshit. People lie on the Internet

It’s not true - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/us/la-fire-department-budget-bass.html

The budget was increased by 53 million.

Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.

You’ve got a financial incentive to have someone watch 30 seconds of video - so ofc you use all the skeeziest shit straight out of the chum bucket days of the early internet.

It’s not about attention span: it’s about manipulation and money.

Not only that but this meme is not about TikTok - they don’t have votes, especially not a downvote. This is almost certainly about Reddit: the only major social media site that has downvoting.

Seems like you could get this shit struck down by challenging it in court based on the ADA
