@burger_jaap sobering but also deeply funny Elon's "X" being used as a metaphor for species extinction here
Great social media campaign by WWF Germany over on the dark site:
@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @gpk @nohillside now imagine the scenario where the CEOs are no longer in charge of how the task is performed; instead, the people who actually perform the task are the ones who decide the procedures, design the tools, build the equipment
the task becomes more efficient when profit is no longer the motive, but instead public good
people say "capitalism fosters innovation and competition" but it does neither; the pursuit of profit engenders only ossification and monopoly
@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social @gpk @nohillside here's a thing to consider
say there is an onerous task which must be performed in order to keep the lights running
under capitalism there is no impetus to make the task less onerous; it is assumed that 1. human labor is functionally infinite and 2. this is because people can always be coerced with the threat of starvation and death into performing difficult labor
the money that could go into making the task easier instead goes straight into CEOs' pockets

Here's one of my fav, in Zelda: A Link Between Worlds because a true top-down view in 3D would have perspective issues, they purposely tilt the objects, so the perspective looks good to the player from top. #GameDev

@RoseExotico @ActionRetro the Ouya controller is weird because (like everything else about the system) it's not actually a BAD controller, it's just whoever designed it fundamentally misunderstood the assignment
like leaving off Start and Select-type buttons cripples it for the vaunted "you can run all your favorite retro games via emulation" selling point they liked to hammer
it's amazing how leaving off all of two buttons makes it only marginally more usable than a Fisher-Price toy
@RoseExotico @ActionRetro still a better controller (and more sensible labels) than Ouya
@ActionRetro @mos_8502 it might actually be worse than the D-Pad on my old beloved Gravis Gamepad USB, which would be a feat
