A tip

If, for some strange reason, you ever find yourself looking at something on Quora and you come across one of those aggravating "become a Quora+ member to see this answer" bullshit paywall things, here's a tip, if you really want to see it without actually joining Quora+:
  1. Click on the "..." at the bottom right of the paywalled answer.
  2. Select "Copy link."
  3. Open up a new tab to Google Translate.
  4. Select the "Websites" option and set it to "Detect Language."
  5. Drop the copied link in there and click the translate button.
There. You can now see one more nigh-useless, Yahoo! Answers-quality piece of shit thing that was otherwise behind an asinine paywall. Usually, it's not actually worth it to go to even that much trouble, though, because even the paywalled answers are almost invariably terrible.

"X user quits paying for Twitter Blue to protest X commandeering his account."

Yet another reason to never use XTwitter. Elon Musk can just take over your 16 year old account just like that, and there's basically shit all you can do about it.

Also, this guy was paying for Twitter Blue. For some reason.

Full headline, because Dreamwidth's subject field length continues to be substandard: "Flush with the Baldur's Gate 3 vibes, Larian CEO tells acquisitive corporations to take a hike: 'I'm getting older, but I'm certainly not done yet'"

Well... it's nice to see that at least some game devs still have principles. Or, at the very least, the common sense and awareness of history to realize that if you sell out your company to a bigger one like Microsoft or whoever, then your company is as good as dead after that point.
