EU suggests breaking up Google’s ad business in preliminary antitrust ruling
  • EU and the US need to get together and start breaking up large companies. Pretty much every industry is now a couple large corporations that are large enough to crush any upstarts, which you know if bad for innovation. Also will add a major overhaul on patents and IPs.

  • Full memo transcript of u/Spez to reddit employees
  • The public offering will be a disaster, hopefully. I don't see how investors aren't questioning Spez's leadership after handling this is the worst way possible. Could of been straight or worked with the third party developers to integrate ads and premium. Instead he jacks up API rates to close apps like a coward instead of just telling it how it is. Mindblowly terrible leadership.

  • YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
  • I would rather not watch Youtube again then be exposed to terrible ads. I accidentally went on Youtube on Chrome and one of the ads was a straight up scam. $7.54 Switch! Like maybe if they had humans vet ads like you used to do maybe I would have less of a problem with it.

  • If we all cycled like the Dutch, CO2 emissions would drop by 690 million tonnes
  • But that would require a small amount of effort. Seriously though I get some cities aren't bike friendly (they could be though) but worked in a city that was pretty great for bikes. Small/medium sized manufacturing plant with a bunch of rednecks and almost all of them lived within 5 miles. Of course they were crying like hell when gas skyrocketed and other than me there was 2 people that biked. I think the best part is a good chunk drove gigantic trucks.

  • Cyberpunk’s expansion totally overhauls the original game | VGC
  • Yea going to wait until user reviews start coming in before I purchase it. They promised a ton of shit at launch and it was lies plus the insane amount of bugs. Ended up playing it like a year later even though I bought it at launch.

  • Reddit CEO: We’re sticking with API change, despite subreddits going dark
  • Just saw on Reddit there are 300+ subs going dark indefinitely. That is what needs to happen. Sure Reddit could come in and find new mods but damn might end up being a decent amount of work/chaos. They should screw up their automods and delete the backup logs. Still probably wouldn't be that hard for an admin to rollback but still the more pain the better.

  • Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout “will pass”
  • Still hoping all the mobile developers come together and make a competitor. I like Lemmy but hard to beat how Reddit is structured and the size of the communities is an advantage. Also wouldn't mind seeing Reddit's public offering be a disaster.

  • Stop Doing Discord
  • Maybe try Revolt Chat. Open source and appears to be like the old Discord. I really only use chat to play games with friends though. Consider Discord communities a pain in the ass to navigate and use.

    Edit: Maybe not lol. Haven't been able to get into the account all evening. Sounds like they may have got DDOSed but it was earlier in the day according to their Twitter.

  • Any good detective games you all would recommend?
  • The gaming industry is so consolidated and really needs to be broken up IMO. So many games that could of been but didn't happen because some large corporation bought the rights and just sit on it or fucked it up. Embracer owns a ton of smaller developers and publishing studios as well. Like the publisher for Valheim is owned by Embracer.

  • Here we go, the AMA with /u/spez is live
  • I wonder what he was expecting. Honestly surprised it wasn't heavily curated. Deleted my account but wish I saved it to ask him when he was going to resign.

    Edit: Haha wow. He expectantly is getting hammered. I like to think he was living in some bubble and now his ego is getting a reality check.

  • Gigabyte's response to poorly made GPUs is informative and unfortunate
  • Went team red just because all of nvidias partners seem to have a ton of problems. Back in my high school days Gigabyte and Asus were pretty reliable companies but man I have had nothing but problems with Asus lately.
