Not likely. The pirates probably aren’t on the boat, only expendable mules. Once the victims are on the boat they have their cash.

If this is like it is in the US, which I suspect it is, they often don’t know it is illegal. They paid everything they had to a group that promised them legal status and a safe journey. It’s gangs running these operations.

Holy cow that’s trippy. The game could be really fun as a result of that style though. It isn’t exactly like Mario wasn’t weird to begin with.

I never used slide. What do people like about it?

The possibilities here are endless

“Amagi’s toes are interesting” “This penis has an interesting vain”

I can’t wait to get off work, this sounds hilarious.

What’s the status of that project? That’s a lot of work but way nicer than lawns once finished

Obviously just speculation, the past week demonstrated that Spez is disorganized and probably contributing to a hostile working environment. Does his recent AMA or interviews give an impression of a leader that would be easy to excel and create with?

Imagine being the only mod in a large subreddit, leading an army of untrained recruits. What does that mean for the health of that community? The quality of the subjects and posts isn’t going to be very good, particularly if people start birigading or something.

They are getting rid of their best volunteers.

Someone needs to keep those criminals in check!

I suspect a lot of the development time was qa. A game that relies on physics takes a lot of work to get right, and an open world makes it way more open to things that go wrong.

There is a distribution bias. The people commenting are the people who didn’t leave. Those that did might not have come back, or are not checking regularly.

So everyone has to return to office, but they didn’t pay the bills for said office? This sounds about right for today’s Twitter. What an awful place to work now.

Maybe I’m missing something but is there a reason they couldn’t have started addressing all of this with a terms of service agreement for the API? They demonstrated they can make exceptions for some accessibility apps, so if AI is the issue, then why not focus on that? If they wanted to force ads on apps, they can make that happen as part of the agreement too. As much as people wouldn’t like it, this would still be a better posture than now.

The current situation appears so poorly though out to me, but I’m just a guy.

What is Jerboa, if you’ll excuse my ignorance?

I hate using apps, so I use the browser on mobile. From that perspective, Lemmy seems snappier. I don’t know if it actually is or just the perception from a cleaner interface, and not getting bugged about the app.

Same here. It is muscle memory still.

The live thread for Ukraine on r/worldnews was something I checked habitually. I will miss that.
