Pokémon Go’s developer is laying off at least 68 workers.
Niantic Spatial announced the job cuts after it sold its gaming business to the Saudi Arabia-owned developer Scopely last month. But now we know how many employees may be affected, as a California WARN notice filed in March (but spotted now by Game Developer) indicates that Niantic will lay off 68 employees in the state on May 20th, 2025.

The article states that 85 percent to 90 percent of children with gender dysphoria outgrow those feelings. This is not correct. The fact is that only a small percentage of gender dysphoric kids change their gender experience.

Almost the Center of our Galaxy
-----------------------------------------------
I really wanted to get as close as possible to the milky way center as possible for my latitude.
This was as close to the horizon as possible before dawn.

in reply to LiteralGrill • • •Seriously though, there's claims that some .gov emails have been found in the leaks from the website. I can't wait for these fuckers to get exposed. (Edit: Awwww, seems most of the email "leaks" so far aren't real, sadness. Will update again if that changes.)
