Rare - and refreshing - to see a politician stand their ground in the face of US lies and bluster. Not a tactful, softened vague response. Just: "No". Dare I get my hopes up for more plain talking truth in the face of lies?

I hate to say it, but like the other commenter, these aren't layoffs because they want line go up, they're layoffs because they literally don't have the money to pay for that many people. Ubisoft is rightfully circling the drain, it's unavoidable that those people's jobs will be lost.

I think an important fact to keep in mind is that not all Ubisoft offices are unionized, and from what I have seen they are targeting the unionized offices first.

So strike now, sue for union busting later.

Now why would they go and do something perfectly sensible like that?! They don't get filthy rich by doing logical things.

Worth mentioning apparently the CEO did reduce his salary, but like, I’m not convinced? Just cause you dropped the bag doesn’t mean you didn’t rob the bank

(But also just being a bitch about the rich is cathartic)

I mean, if he's still living a life his employees can only dream of, he's still actually being a pile of shit. It's all pandering until they need to move out of their mansions.

Sell their assets, someone else could do a good AC. Youdont get to be shit and hold all the cards, they dont deserve to keep everything they built at the cost of the livelihoods of their staff.

Fuck Ubisoft and all of its higher ups and boardmembers. They're getting what they deserve.

Now, who isn't getting what they deserve are all of the hardworking people that actually do the work for the company. The ones getting shitcanned.

Friends tell me Fediverse is the Esperanto of social media


Fortega korelacio, certe signifas kaŭzecon; mi neniam povus vidi iun alian klarigon.

Yes, servers are located in places with big Internet connections.

FYI: I assume you wanted to list your games in a list format without having each title start a new paragraph. If you end your line in a double space before hitting return, you can do that.
Need for Speed: Porsche UnleashedCnC Tiberian Sun etc. will become:

Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed
CnC Tiberian Sun
Red Alert
Red Alert 2
The Sims

Just fixed it. Thanks for the tip. I was wondering why it didn't show up correcly.





Mindmaps with export to md/tex?


Hey folks

I find myself structuring out much larger documents these days, and I'd really like to make use of some mindmapping software to do it. I used to use kdissert (now semantik) all the time - I'd map out the idea, then add in details to each node, and export to tex for final adjustments. Really nice workflow imo.

Unfortunately, semantik is getting a bit long in the tooth, and while it builds fine on my arch boxes, its a bit of a mess for Debian. Rather than annoy myself with hunting for or making my own builds of the various packages I'd need just for this, I'm hoping that maybe there are some more regularly maintained options out there.

Any ideas? TIA

in reply to buwho

Yeah, I generally don't run software that isn't under an open source license if it can be avoided though



Why has Microsoft been routing example.com traffic to a company in Japan? - Ars Technica - All content (Dan Goodin)


From the Department of Bizarre Anomalies: Microsoft has suppressed an unexplained anomaly on its network that was routing traffic destined to example.com—a domain reserved for testing purposes—to a maker of electronics cables located in Japan.

Under the RFC2606—an official standard maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force—example.com isn’t obtainable by any party. Instead it resolves to IP addresses assigned to Internet Assiged Names Authority. The designation is intended to prevent third parties from being bombarded with traffic when developers, penetration testers, and others need a domain for testing or discussing technical issues. Instead of naming an Internet-routable domain, they are to choose example.com or two others, example.net and example.org.

Output from the terminal command cURL shows that devices inside Azure and other Microsoft networks have been routing some traffic to subdomains of sei.co.jp, a domain belonging to Sumitomo Electric. [...]
