NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

not even a year after pivoting into AI, you suddenly need a "please come back" ad. I wonder why. I greatly appreciate your work on the engine, but I cannot recommend the stock Firefox. I encourage everyone to study, customize and own their browser. don't trust the trend-blinded companies.

Hello, after using it for years I'm currently *leaving* Firefox for LibreWolf because you embraced "AI", and because your new UI design is bad and unnerving. I think it is deeply dishonest to be talking about the Internet being "worth protecting" after you join with the forces trying to destroy it.

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

imagining that you can slash the cost of making something by 4x-100x and it won't affect the way people assess its value is something i would even bully a child for thinking

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Gotta admit that the painfully necessary USB-C followup to the Mango micro router is one gadget I'm very happy to receive. If you're traveling a lot & handle sensitive files or network configurations, the Mango was a must-have & I've recommended it endlessly. Will let y'all know how the 2 compares.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Not that it's any of my business telling another country's president how to do their job, but I think Lula should immediately start arresting a lot of people.
