Sounds like a change of employer is in order.

Most of them are already 13+, so really this is only extending that by 1 year. It's performative. Also he's going to make everyone under 14 want to create accounts now just in hopes that the company doesn't delete it and they can sue for their $10k.
I wonder what qualifies as 'social media'. Is a Steam account 'social media'? Its social features tick most of the boxes.

Sounds like he'd be better than Trump by a mile.
As long as the advertisers and corporate bullshit stays on the for-profit solutions and doesn't start bleeding into everything else, this is fine. Hopefully they'll act as a wick and draw the corporate interests to themselves.
It sounds like if he hadn't tried to push the envelope, and had just taken his free room and left it at that, he might have gotten away with it for longer, or at least wouldn't be facing jail time now. This is a wild story!
They spent $11.25 BILLION on stock buybacks in 2022, from their $235.7 BILLION in revenue. But yeah, I'm sure a $13 million fine is really going to show them!
Not to mention that even backing it in the first place is just going to give republican media more talking points to galvanize people against Biden/Harris in the 2024 election. Poorly thought out and poor timing. I'm personally in favor of stricter gun laws, but I don't think this one has much chance of taking effect, so I'd rather they hold off until 2025 at least before trying to push it.
To add to that, the DLC thing really pisses me off particularly because I bought the game last night, and there was no DLC. The DLC didn't show up until a few hours later, and by that point it was too late to refund it. Kind of felt like a bait and switch, because normally I wouldn't buy a game at launch if they did that shit.
For better or for worse capcom is doing this shit in nearly every one of their games so i kinda expected this shit
And if we stop shitting on them for doing it, we let it become normalized.
Denuvo is a cancer
This pretty much sums up the topic.
Optimisation. It is poor apparently. Nothing new really as far as pc games go.
It's actually a lot worse than that. It's been a while since I played something that had this level of problems. The fact that it's CPU-based performance is actually the bigger issue because it doesn't matter how beefy your graphics card is, you're still dropping a ton of frames in that city specifically. I can run the game at 144 FPS until I go to that city, then it drops to 40, which is just outrageous. Gaming PC build logic has for a long time been to prioritize a great graphics card over a great processor (assuming you're building with a budget and not a 'money is no object' type build), because that's what matters for games, but suddenly with this one specific game, the processor is the bottleneck.
1 of 17 bus companies sued by NYC agrees to temporarily stop transporting migrants, Mayor Adams says
It's very easy for NY to go after the bus companies when they have a law on the books to use, and very difficult for a state to go after another state. It's the fastest way for them to get results - if the bus companies think there's more potential risk for doing it than they stand to gain, they'll stop, it's just business for them. It's politics for Texas.
Did you even read the article we're discussing, or are you just reading the comments and getting mad?
- No decision has been made. This is simply a judge denying the companies' motion to have this thrown out before going to trial.
- This is very much different than "the gun market" being indirectly responsible. This is the equivalent of "the gun market" constantly sending a person pamphlets, calling them, emailing them, whatever else, with propaganda until they ultimately decided to act on it. If that was happening, I think we'd be having the same conversation about that, and whether they should be held accountable.
- Whether they're actually responsible or not (or whether any group is) can be determined in court following all the usual methods. A company getting to say "That's ridiculous, we're above scrutiny" is dangerous, and that's effectively what they were trying to do (which was denied by this judge.)
In many states, being forced back to the office after working from home for a long period allows you to collect unemployment if you quit on those grounds. Check your state's requirements. IIRC it has to be demonstrable to be a significant burden but it can count as constructive dismissal.
