The shareholders probably care, but to the layman, expecting 6.61 billion and only earning 6.49 billion doesn’t amount to much. They’re not going anywhere.

tldr, not sure if it was bullet or shrapnel from the bullet.

Probably this.

They change it all the time for funsies

Who’s Joe

How do we compute pi?

This is what I thought at first too. But after thinking about it more, it kind of falls into cybercrime. I can imagine hearing something like this on darknet diaries.

Dang good catch on the second user, I wouldn’t have noticed since I usually don’t look at people’s profiles.

It’s kind of funny that reddit will become this chamber of advertisers making posts and fake users “engaging” while the real people all migrate to lemmy.

That sounds nice, I’ll try that out

Dang, the shared grocery list and meal planning was the best part of it.

I also quit whisk when it became samsung food. Does CopyMeThat let you have shared lists with other people?

Here I’ll add some context

It is pretty easy not to think about this game, it does not live rent free in my brain. I bought the promise of a space ship over a decade ago when there really was no game. The “game” then was here is your spaceship in a garage, stare at it and marvel. That was the whole game.

Over time i’ve seen bits and pieces of it in my feed, I remember when they added being able to fly the spaceship, idk when that was, but again that was the whole game. You could see pretty space but still no substance.

That was really my last experience with it because I think somewhere around this point is probably where I started working full time and stopped really following game news.

Flash forward to today I see this post to see the game is still a work in progress, I shared my opinion.

So if there is a decent game by now with a plot that would be great, I would give it a shot. But if it’s still just a fancy tech demo where you can run around for a bit but there’s really nothing to “do” then I’ll wait another decade.

I “bought” this game when I was in high school. I’ve graduated high school, college, and I’ve been in the workforce for 7 years. Still no game.

So yes, they should figure out this game is going to be, set a launch date, and work towards that schedule. This forever-in-development thing they have going on is ridiculous.

Edit: Alright, it’s not fair to say “still no game.” There is a game you can download and play, but the question I have is does it have all the bells and whistles you expect from a complete game, or is it a technical demo with some game features? See my other comment in this comment chain for why my opinion is what it is.

Yea I guess I was thinking something like this

1. I earned $100,000 revenue
2. You give me $20,000 donation
3. I make a $20,000 donation
4. I report on taxes I earned $100,000 and donated $20,000, so my taxable income is $80,000 because I wrote off a donation you gave me.

I would have to include the donation either in my earnings or report it some other way.

Dang, not sure I’ve cooked green bacon, but I’ve cooked grayish bacon and it comes out ok. It kind of makes me feel better to know they donate expiring meat. It’d be better if they donated it a little earlier, like no one’s buying the gray bacon, but it’s still edible.

I understand the write off part. The part I don’t understand is if you give me $100, and then I donate the $100 (so cost of donation becomes $80), do I have to report that your $100 donation to me as income? Or did I just use your money to decrease my tax burden?

You don’t make it sound any better

I wouldn’t say it needs serious work, I kind of like the homebrewed look of it, but there’s a lot of wasted space in the form of padding on mobile. I think the list of posts could just take up the full screen width and it’d be good.

Took a look and the article title is misleading. It says nothing about trust in the technology and only talks about not trusting companies collecting our data. So really nothing new.

Personally I want to use the tech more, but I get nervous that it’s going to bullshit me/tell me the wrong thing and I’ll believe it.

You never do
