Legally the product is no longer their priority, maximising shareholder profits is their priority.

Not many companies manage to not get twisted to a worse product for the customers, though their ads get really good

This man out here living the line “kill the rich”

Random thought, do Lemmy posts show up in searches?

I’m pretty sure that’s how I ended up at reddit. After so many google searches lead me to the site, I decided to check it out some more

Thanks for the share. I have been looking for more podcasts that are a bit more short form (less than an hour). This one seems like it could be a good fit.

In art style maybe, otherwise the main gameplay is very different.

Thanks for the share. Just checked out the demo for half an hour. Really nice game, already seems super polished.

I really like the helpful control tips, it does an amazing job of teaching you the controls. Every time I was wondering what the key was, bam there it was on screen.

Looking forward to the full release, I’ll definitely play the demo more when I have time

Tangentially Speaking by Chris Ryan.

He interviews interesting people, some famous, most not. The latest episode was with a guy he happened to meet at a party and thought he had an interesting story.

As the name implies he is very happy to go off on tangents, so the episodes can end up in topics you never would have guessed from the guest description.

Word of warning he does tend to talk for about 30 minutes at the start of every episode. I personally enjoy it but I know others who it annoys.

I feel him selling out turned me off ever wanting to watch it. He didn’t need the money, he was already super well off. So he just showed that he didn’t value his listeners, he knew he would lose some but didn’t care.

Compared to my favorite podcast that offers people to email him if they can’t afford the paid stuff because he just wants people to be able to listen.

Happy to learn what illegal content is on display and discussed about here?

This looks much like much more what I was looking for. Like a Foss replacement for the android keyboard, will keep playing with it to see how it goes. Thanks

capitalism, isn’t the free market so hopeful for the masses?

America can’t afford to lose Taiwan, they make too many semi conductors.

From my understanding they are one of a very few handful of places that can make the chips that are being used in training the current AI. Taiwan is one of the main ones.

Amazing this was posted 4 days after the in person voting… how is an Aussie meant to make an informed choice when the data comes after the voting day?

Quite honestly it was a very confusing referendum. The question seemed simple on the surface but as soon as you ask questions very quickly it was hard to find answers. I think this confusion is the reason the majority voted no, they were scared to choose yes for something they didn’t understand. I tried to understand and still couldn’t find a straight answer of what this referendum was actually about.

Is there an alternative you can recommend that you feel is more honest?

It is hard to move away from maps completely but for pure navigation there are many alternatives. From the FOSS world, there are 2 I would recommend.

Organic Maps - fairly clean and focused app mainly around navigation

OsmAnd~ - a more fleshed out map app. Easily see hiking routes, ski routes, etc. This is the one I am trying to use at the moment.

Still doesn’t help solve the google review for restraunts and shops etc, but it is a step in the right direction.

How does it differ from endless sky?

Amazing thanks for the recommendations and the summaries. Added the ones I couldn’t get to my wish list.

I’ll be sure to checkout Little Brother as well, sounds interesting even more so with the authors dislike of audible.

This took me a while to digest, but thanks for the thorough answer.

I agree that silly subsidies should be abolished and climate friendly subsidies should be enacted worldwide. However looking from the American lens you are talking in the change seems almost impossible. Democracy worldwide has been corrupted America being the largest example of this with “lobbyists”. How are these uneducated, time poor, malnutritioned people meant to make any change? Maybe I just have my doom and gloom face on today.

In Australia we can barely stop our government from cutting down ancient forests to make woodchips. Let alone the 3 new coal mines they opened, and this is the climate concious party.

Looking at all that I feel making personal changes is the only way I can personally stay motivated. At least I am doing what I can in the face of this seemingly impossible task.
