To put it another way, the investigators are going to be hired by someone who has an interest in the proceedings. Either the alleged victim, or Christian Horny, or RBR or FIA, or the tabloids. If essteeyou@lemmy.world is that interested there is nothing stopping him hiring his own investigators too. The only difference is the degree of cooperation from the people being investigated your investigators will get based on who hired them.

Any reason not to expect all the others to get reported now? If Unity wants to tear themselves down, might as well speed it up.

Yeah at least going by what's reported in this article, Peter seems pretty neck deep in the scamming. If it's not intentional the most charitable interpretation i can think of is he's gone senile and someone else is using his name to run the scams:

Molyneux has copped to failures with Godus several times, saying he's learned his lesson about overpromising - usually while making grand proclamations about what his next game will be. Godus Wars was followed by 22cans' only other game still available on Steam, The Trail, which Molyneux said would "build on feelings and emotions untapped so far."

Last month, 22cans released their latest game, the business management and invention sim Legacy, which seems to be Molyneux operating in his Theme Park/The Movies mode - except that Legacy is a Web3 blockchain game and they sold £40 million in NFT land two years before launch. 22cans updated Legacy players earlier this month to explain that they'd be ramping up marketing efforts on Legacy soon so as to help attract tenants for its current population of wannabe digital landlords.

Molyneux, meanwhile, began talking about 22cans' next game back in October with launch of a development blog for a fantasy RPG set in Albion, which is also the name of the fantasy Britain where Lionhead's Fable was set.

Oh, I'm not faulting you or the original comment about Jassy, just a general lament about how bad the voting is on polls like this. This thread is full of other brain-dead takes that have nothing to do with tech.

Make them switch directions every year.

Like to clockwise around Monaco one year, but counter clockwise on the same track the next.

Mate you can't just take random Internet comments like this as medical advice. You pet needs medical attention from an actual vet who can examine the patient.

If you can't afford that, ask for donations to help you pay the vet or ask local animal shelters or vets if they have any options to help you. But stuff like giving the cat random ointments or changing their foods without any actual diagnosis is not a way to help a suffering animal.

We are taking the jacket off a couple times a week to let the skin air out and so that she can clean herself naturally, but this one spot is horrendous

The fact that you have your cat in a jacket most of the week preventing her from cleaning herself several times a day as is normal for cats is a whole 'nother red flag. That is extreme and not something you should be subjecting a cat to without a vet telling you to do it anyway.

I dunno, those buttholes get cleaned pretty thoroughly multiple times a day. Probably more thoroughly than most human buttholes. Might actually be cleaner than the window sill.

I don't get people who say things like this. The board in question isn't part of the "for profit" part of OpenAI - they don't have any obligations at all to make the company profitable or to protect the investors money. They're the board of a non-profit who spun of a part of the company explicitly for the purpose of raising money without being accountable to investors.

Microsoft and all the other investors knew that before they gave them their money.

The board is very very stubborn because they apparently would rather see OpenAI shutdown rather than let Altman run it, but they're not ill meaning. They're following their corporate charter.

I think there are fairly good odds none of my gaming friends have ever bought a CoD game.

Not that we all play amazingly refined games, there is plenty of junk and regret-ware, and a lot of other FPS games - just no one ever got into CoD.

Aside from all of that, desktops are also far less constrained. If you have a CPU whose performance scales well with power (ie not an M2 but maybe an M3) you can slap it in a desktop and be able to give it 500 watts of power and a giant ass cooling setup to enable that performance. You can't do this with the physical constraints required of a laptop.

Yeah less savvy people are going to do what they always do, just keep running their old system but now with even more vulnerabilities due to lack of security update availability.

My dad recently asked me to help with his laptop, which turned out to be running windows xp.

After a lot of hair pulliing I got it kind of working but am gonna give him an old windows 10 (upgraded from 7) laptop, but he's probably going to be on that indefinitely.

Much more limited these days. F1 teams all have to stay within a budget cap these days, and while the top ones are still benefitting from the money they poured into R&D before the caps, ongoing investment is much more limited.
