I cancelled my sub after I kept getting bombarded by some Michelle Obama podcast/book thing. Popped up so many times over the course of a week that I just yolo’d out and went with Youtube Premium (which gives Youtube Music as part of the deal).
Hide for 30 days is not the option I want YouTube. I blocked them on desktop and have trained my brain to ignore them as I use the iOS app.
I both do and do not want to check that out.
Reading through the article it sounds like not a great study, not asking enough questions and not tracking key information, such as cause of death.
Sounds like one of those things where people are going to headline what they want out of it and use it to champion their bias. “Being overweight doesn’t kill you, yay!” Nah, it’s way more complicated than that. People with cancer and other diseases often lose weight, a lot of it, and studies like this don’t do a good job of tracking this info.
I did web design in the 90’s and remember one customer reviewing the site that I’d designed her. She said she liked it, but asked if I could add something like that neat little paper clip she has when she opens up Word, so it can help people navigate her site.
Note: Javascript was in its early days around this time so the idea of a dynamic/interactive site like this was not on the cards.
Needs a shocked looking face in the corner like something explosive just went off downstairs.
That’s not food. That’s sadness in polystyrene.
Also free on https://www.gog.com/en/game/crusader_kings_ii if you want a DRM free version.
Running the Memmy update today with dark mode and I had moments where my brain thought I was scrolling through Apollo. Gonna be very happy with the app if it continues down this route.
Non directly, they own a lot of companies and IP. A LOT.
Gearbox, Coffee Stain, Deep Silver, Warhorse, Aspyr, Saber, THQ Nordic, Dark Horse Comics, 3D Realms, Volition, Ghost Ship Games.
You can put them in the same sphere as Microsoft with all their owned companies as both were out scooping them up over the last few years.
Gonna presume the reason why they haven’t announced which studios are being hit is because they haven’t yet told them. So there’s now 15k+ people sat that their desks worrying if they’ll have a pay check in a few weeks time. That sucks.
Sure looks like a Ubisoft game.
This was last year, and they did buy them.
I cancelled back on the first price hike they did. Just wasn’t enough for the handful of times I used it per year. They had me at the point where I kinda didn’t care I was paying, but the price hike gave me a wake up call. Since then they’ve continued to up the prices and I’ve continued to not give a shit. Netflix originally won me back from bothering to pirate stuff cause it was so good and easy, now the opposite is true in the streaming space.
