No shit Sherlock Holmes
And he’s 100% right.
They’re all lining up to kiss Trump’s stinky ass because they expect him to provide them with an unprecedented opportunity to thoroughly and completely fuck us all, and there’s nothing they want more in the world.
They are disgusted by Trump but also love what he can do for their wallet. It’s all about money.
Fascist country, fascist babyllionaires, fascist businesses = fuck GAFAM.
He’s an opportunistic jackass, but he’s not wrong.
If they’re willing to say and do anything to convince government to advantage large corporations at the expense of workers and consumers I don’t think they’re “pretending” to be republicans.
He’s 100% right. (Still a douche for what he did to Bandcamp though)
What has he done to bandcamp?
He bought the company to bolster his lawsuits against Apple and Google, only to fob it off to Songtradr a few years later in the middle of the staff unionising. Songtradr then sacked half the staff (coincidentally all the ones who were part of the union) and still refuse to recognise the union to this day.
That’s disgusting.
I don’t get it, what’s so “Epic” about this CEO?
I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
“He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”
if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
In other news, business people say whatever they can get away with to make more money.
No shit right.
People need to stop anthropomorphizing corporations. They are not moral and simply respond to incentives.
They earned good will saying black lives matter and now they earn political will by saying trans lives don’t.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” - Kurt Vonnegut
It’s almost like they have cutting edge artificial intelligence that can brief them on meta game theory and how to ensure successful outcomes for their personal interests, regardless of who’s ass they’re kissing.
I reckon we will see the biggest transfer of wealth ever during trumps second term. They are all lining up for the big one. I see them trying to undo Labor laws and deregulate across the board.
I suspect they will push RTO even harder and try to drive down wages but specifically software developers claiming AI can do it while manufacturing the narritibe that its the new normal 🙄.
You’d be surprised to hear that most software devs i talk to think the benefits of ai are overrated. The problem is the bubble keeps growing and growing.
… also leads to worse for all in the meantime.
We’re getting it shoved down our throats too. We get asked to use ai to enhance things… that no one wanted fixed with ai.
I added some more words to clarify, I meant the CEOs will claim it is replacing the developers. I’m a dev myself, we know it has its uses and its very obvious limitations.
Yes they just slap Ai in the marketing and scale up the price.
I don’t see how stating the blindingly obvious makes him “epic”.
I didn’t understand ether. None of the Epic Games were actually Epic…
You shut your mouth; Unreal Tournament’99 and 2004 were both legitimately epic in their day!
Now get off my lawn… *damn kids today*
Kids there days would say Fortnite is very Epic… but for me UT2004 was the last game they made that deserved the title Epic/Unreal.
UT2K4 was bloody fantastic. It, and Q3 are two of my absolute all time favourites.
Everyone who disagrees can either admit they don’t like FPS (which is fine) or get off my lawn.
When the worst person you know made a good point.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
Isn’t “skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors” making them officially conservatives?
