politics @lemmy.world•US edges closer to popular vote deciding winner of presidential elections
2·5 天前Interstate compacts require congressional approval. This one doesn’t have that. There’s also a good argument that a state giving all it’s votes to someone the state didn’t vote for in the majority violates the rights of it’s citizens to a republican form of government.

21·5 天前It’s not just battles trying to delay it. There’s very good legal arguments that congressional approval is required at a minimum in addition to states signing on.

128·5 天前This compact is extremely unlikely to ever be enforceable. The ensuing court cases would make 2000 seem minor.

Games@lemmy.world•AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20English
72·6 天前This article seems to be lumping mobile and PC into the same bucket which is probably more of a red flag for the analysis they are doing here. Of course revenue is going to be more split when you add in tons of mobile games that are very effective at taking lots of money with minimal interaction.

4·7 天前I’m not looking to pull 7 Gs anytime soon. That’s more than going to space.
For a while (maybe still) Russian rockets even had a shotgun on board after wolves got to a landing first.

1·8 天前If you consider insurance payouts a windfall there’s probably fraud involved. Insurance generally doesn’t pay more than a thing is worth because of fraud. It’s a little more loose with things that can’t easily be valued, like art or a life.

21·8 天前Insurance is all mostly the same regardless of type. You aren’t going to find a company willing to take the counter party risk of you losing a claimed retail value of a product, especially a commodity. If it was collectables or bespoke crafts then it would likely be different.

7·8 天前Assuming it wasn’t a company owned warehouse, the landlord will probably be making an argument that their disgruntled employee makes the fire their fault.

20·9 天前They probably didn’t make money. Insurance won’t cover the retail value of unsold product, just the cost to make it. The building owner can get replacement cost for the building, but still loses out on rent.
The insurance company will raise rates to compensate for the payment, but it’s probably enough to hurt them for a quarter too.
If they’re lucky they might understand kubernetes though.

7·11 天前I doubt anyone was ever shamed for not using Latinx, the problem there was more a mass amount of people that felt it was a way to erase their culture. It’s a very wasp thing to create a term for a people and declare the most inclusive term without actually consulting anyone it addresses.

1·11 天前There’s literally a personal examples of “wokeness” pushing away the people that were intended to be helped on their discussion. If you want to pretend it’s not a thing that happened or it’s not a real movement then don’t expect much change.

The top 20 appears to be play time, but it would be nice if it was ever really mentioned.
