TLDR: “we should be able to steal other people’s work, or we’ll go crying to daddy Trump. But DeepSeek shouldn’t be able to steal from the stuff we stole, because China and open source”

Funny enough, Digg is making a comeback

Thanks, I’ve been trying to remember this term and where I saw this concept for like 2 weeks!

Also, a related concept is recuperation:

The process by which ideas and actions deemed ‘radical’ or oppositional become commodified or absorbed into mainstream society and culture.

Think of the sterile critique of capitalism from the Fallout series (produced by Amazon).

Yes, it is. Probably a few phrases written by a human and then a summary of the article with AI.

These damn liberals!

Scopely games are just a bunch of mixed dark patterns reskinned with some popular IP

I know the perfect cure: a vacation to Mars on a Starship. It would remove any depression and drug addiction.

Third option: Blame Soros or Biden

These are the same billionaires that donated millions to the inauguration. How’s that RoI on bribery going techbros?

It’s nice to see Bezos getting some hate too for his role in enabling right wing propaganda. Musk has been getting all of the attention lately.

True. I’ve had plenty of games where the native version didn’t work, but the Proton version worked flawlessly. Small devs can get more value for their time by aiming for Proton compatibility

They did release an official statement later in the day to explain the rejection: https://adevarul.ro/stiri-interne/evenimente/de-ce-a-respins-bec-candidatura-lui-georgescu-2427400.html

Unfortunately, it’s still kind of abstract and legalese, with not further proof of interference. And it’s mostly self referencing the previous annulment as the cause.

Călin Georgescu’s candidacy does not meet the conditions of legality, as he “by failing to respect the rules of the electoral procedure, violated the very obligation to defend democracy”, which is based on “fair, honest and impartial” elections.

While it’s good avoid another Putin lapdog, the way in which this was done might come back to bite them in the ass.

Where’s a lightning strike when you need it?

Fair enough. The engineering is pretty impressive. It would be even more impressive if it was owned by the public rather than a MEGAlomaniac high on ketamine

SpaceX can still pivot to a fireworks company and let decades old soviet rockets take people to the ISS. I’m sure that DOGE will cut the wasteful government grants this company gets.

I’ve been saying this for years, but the general mood still hasn’t shifted against Discord. People were actually amazed back when it added… forums. But now if the company is going public the enshittification is imminent.

Yeah, sorry that we exist. Kinda hard to ignore when your shit politics drag us into it.

Clearly not 100%, since somebody is explaining it
