lots of mayo

and it is coming. you can hide, but it will find you.

we shall never know

thanks, that really brightened up my day

and steam is the largest game store, but that’s not what i was talking about.

microsoft’s money doesn’t come just from windows, and from seeing how shitty it has (and will) become, they want to get more money from it than they already have. that could be because windows doesnt produce enough money for microsoft or for other reasons.

google’s money comes from advertisements. as google grew to be used everywhere, there needed to be a better way to get money from it, so they started doing more advertising.

just like google’s search engine, firefox doesn’t produce money by itself. but mozilla didn’t have any other means of producing money, so they had to do something else for that, even if it didn’t work.

valve’s money comes from the games and items sold in steam. people aren’t going to stop producing or buying games and in-game items any time soon.

all of the other companies had to change their main way to produce money, because that wasn’t producing enough money. but if valve changes anything they’ll just be shooting themselves in the foot, because steam already produces an almost ulimited amount of money for valve.

oh i thought most languages only had gendered.

also idk about having a gender neutral option in most. afaik the creation of neutral pronouns in languages that have never had them (other than male being the neutral equivalent) is seen basically the same as neopronouns, which means its very hard for people to start using them.

for example, i’m from brazil and i have never seen anyone use neutral pronouns seriously. i wouldn’t be surprised if the other languages in the same situation are going through the same thing

though i guess through jokes people might get used to them and start using them seriously, so things could become better in the future.

doesnt gabe already do basically nothing though? afaik there are other people managing valve and he only acts as valve’s face

also theyd have to be extremely stupid to start enshittification when they already have the best ways to monetize games (skins in cs2, hats in tf2, etc)

im not saying its not possible, im just a very optimistic person

yeah this chart is only for english unfortunately

they weren’t even saying it isn’t a turtle

its probably just lemmy compressing the gif and making the bird have less colors, so it looks a bit weird

i completely agree

yeah its supposed to be a place to share links. the problem is when the post is just a link with no explanation of what the link is.

dang

how long have you had that image

woah what happened to the quality of that gif

its not that they dont like links, its that they dont like having links with no description that you have to click on and open to understand, and most of those are links to proprietary websites like youtube and othed large social media.

nah i still see “i slept with a dude” as “i slept with a man”, sorry
