  • The TL;DR of why this happened is there was expected to be a vote of no confidence against him. People of the UK were going to make him go through hell and trials and such and he was expected to leave anyways, so he resigned preemptively.

    This is a win for the people though, it’s good he knew he was going to lose anyways and not have us do the song and dance. What happens now though is a little worrying, the sudden resignation of him and 50+ people in the government means it’s a little confusing who’s going to rule now.

    The Verge fails to mention the main driving force for this decision: Photopea. Someone made a perfectly working photoshop clone that’s good enough for 99% of people. It exploded in popularity a while ago, and they announced Photoshop online shortly after. They don’t want to lose relevance.



  • This post is really overdramatic… How good Reddit is depends on the sub. I frequent /r/linux_gaming for example and it’s a very chill place with good discussion. If you don’t like a sub, don’t use it, but to dismiss and insult everyone who frequents there is dumb…

    The upvote-downvote feature is the worst mechanic to plague social media.

    Okay, suggest a good alternative to filter out trash in social media. Every alternative without voting ends up being like 4chan, a cesspool where people shout the stupidest most insane (and often offensive) things and you’re forced to trudge your way through it to find any decent content. At least when I open something like /r/television, I expect to see stuff people enjoy and articles of interest.

    None of the alternatives in the article are real alternatives too. It just sounds like OP got fed up with social media and decided to do something else in their life, which yeah sure but it sounds like you just need to chill out and be the one to ignore the “drunk loud idiots” and just browse places you like.







  • Was that before or after Microsoft bought them? Does Microsoft have leaks often?

    Microsoft is usually on top of privacy stuff but the companies they buy operate mostly independently from what I hear. I don’t think there’s much correlation.

    The big leak happened last year though, it was a massive fuck up from linkedin. Almost everyone’s data got leaked. https://restoreprivacy.com/linkedin-data-leak-700-million-users/

    There’s Xing.

    First I’ve heard of it. Here’s the thing, there are alternatives but what matters is which is popular. Company presence is the most important thing in these websites, when I attach my LinkedIn profile to a job it increases my chances of being seen by a lot. If I attach something like Xing they’ll probably just ignore me.

    It’s like WhatsApp. Are the great alternatives? For sure. Does it matter? No, because my family and colleagues and normie friends are too resistant of letting it go, so I’m forced to use it. Best I can do is get my inside circle to use something else.




  • I’m a bit cautious about this one. The gameplay looks extremely like No Man’s Sky, which I thought was honestly boring. Also, Bethesda somehow is one of the largest studios ever but they still can’t make gunplay. There is NO reaction or response to shooting people, it just looks really jank. People complained about this in Skyrim, then in fallout 4 and they STILL CAN’T DO IT RIGHT! HOW!? They own the studio that made Doom and Quake, some of the most satisfying gunplay ever, they can just go over and ask how to make gunplay feel good.

    Everything else looks good though. Graphics are gorgeous, dogfighting in space looks good, and I hope the story can be interesting. I’m just really worried the planets are going to be style of substance and it’ll end up being shallow (again, like NMS, because it looks extremely similar and seems to be copying systems from it)
