A British software firm, Threads Software Limited, has given Meta a 30-day ultimatum to cease using the name “Threads” in the UK, citing ownership of the trademark.
So it’s just a threat with no actual value or feasible legal repercussions?
Divinity 2 with only 3 characters on Honor Mode is pretty fun too
Lego Fortnite (Minecraft) is super good and their Guitar Hero clone is also pretty decent for groups
Most of the time it’s the echo chamber needs that we all have, we want to see opinions that match our own at the top, and opinions that don’t match, at the bottom.
The issue is that social media is very aggressive on the trends. It’s easier for people to formulate a judgement (when the opinion is somewhat ambiguous, or not very strong) when someone else has done the actual judgement for you and upvoted/downvoted.
If votes where not shown at all, the comments would have wildly distinct amounts of support. It’s a pretty fun subject to study to be fair since it affects all of us very strongly so they are not just fake internet points in that sense. People’s days are sometimes dictated by the amount of validation or hate they get from strangers, we’ve been seeing this since Facebook and it will continue getting more relevant as we move more of our daily lives and activities to the digital world.
I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:
Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.
Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world…
It’s a very common word in other languages (Spanish) but my brain didn’t even process it correctly the first time I saw it in English lol
HN is a news aggregator where users can find and discuss the latest news and submit content on anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity. YC alumni also post engineering, product, and design jobs on HN.
It has pretty interesting discussions most of the time, the comments are usually very technical, but you can find pretty much the average Lemmy/reddit type of stuff there.
I think it’s due to the stereotypes and the bad experiences, I’ve had pretty bad experiences with indians in gaming (racist, annoying, begging) and work (incompetent, corrupt, etc), but I’ve also seen that from other people with different backgrounds, more importantly though is that I’ve also seen some amazing tutorials in YouTube from Indian peeps and I’ve also found some great repos from Indian devs as well.
They had some amazing coupons a few years ago, I remember buying Jedi: Fallen Order for like $4 USD
Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?
I’ve worked in customer support and most of the time these type of tickets just get a copy pasted response basically saying thanks for your feedback, kindly go fuck yourself.
If you want something that could be reviewed I’d suggest contacting their legal department or even their HR department. The other option is to look for individual employees emails and socials and just message them.
I recommend not doing any of these things though, because it can be quite annoying to deal with these types of requests, as you will likely not be the first person to suggest this.
There is quite a lot of organic interactions in most subs although some big subs and niche subs have Astroturfers
