So long, and thanks for all the fish. https://t.co/9MoqDV0FZC

I wonder how all the rad centrists who think billionaires are somehow neutral entities are responding to all this

[Nikles @Nikles84]

This is how a company loses credibility

[GamesIndustry @GIBiz]

Several developers have voiced concerns following the announcement of Stadia's closure, as they were not given prior notice.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 351-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 21-to-1. Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

[Nikles @Nikles84]

Great. The one good game streaming service I was using. Good job 👏

Google Stadia is dead, the company has announced - it will permanently close on January 18:

As expected, the Trump-loving “post-fascist” Giorgia Meloni has emerged as the winner in Italy’s election, the first Far Right leader since Mussolini. Ally Steve Bannon will be pleased to see this mini-Trump - more rightwing than Marine Le Pen - as Italy’s new prime minister.

[Thomas Altenburger 🐔 @MrHelmut]

If you wish to request something to developers (or to anyone, actually), you might want to avoid using "just" or "simply" in your request.

Even if you feel like it is trivial, assume that it isn't (because it likely isn't).

Otherwise you'll be met with defiance and distance.

Always follow the money.

Russian mercenary Igor Mangushev (Bereg) made a performance with the skull of a Ukrainian soldier killed near Azovstal.

In his speech, Mangushev said that Russia is at war with the Ukrainian idea, so all Ukrainians must be killed.

Still think trading with Russia is a good idea?

The combined profits of the largest energy companies in the first quarter of this year are close to $100 billion.

This grotesque greed of the fossil fuel industry and their financiers is punishing the poorest and most vulnerable people, while destroying our only home.

Climate change is ‘happening at “astonishing speed”, scientists say.
“The world is currently on track for a rise of at least 2.5C. Based on what we have experienced so far, that would deliver death and destruction far greater than already suffered. https://t.co/9CqpbdxXT4

@godotengine idk if this is of any interest to you but Oracle Cloud offers an always free tier with up to 2 AMD VMs and up to 4 instances of ARM Ampere A1 Compute with 24 GB ram. Many don’t know about it. I migrated some websites to it after similar issues and I must say it works pretty well

[Vadym is elsewhere too @YellowAfterlife]

Five months in, "ordinary Russians" in comments cheering for torture and executions is no surprise, although a condemnation from a pro-🇷🇺 politic might be... ah, no, the concern is that "if Slavic people get castrated or killed, there'll be a larger share of others* in future" 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Alan Friedman @alanfriedmanit]

In Italy the extreme rightwing leader of a post-fascist party full of neo-fascists who love Mussolini is trying to restyle herself as a moderate. But she is anti-Europe, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, ultra-nationalist, pro-Trump and in her autobiography she idolizes Vladimir Putin.

Just in case you were on vacation last week and missed it, we're hiring for a new FPS with a major publisher. #gamejobs #hiring #gamedev #programming

Zatoka in #Odesa region is one of the most popular vacation spots in Ukraine. This is how it looks today after russian missile strike.
