But in the US, colloquially every 4 year school is a college. People say “I’m going to college.” People don’t say “I’m going to university.”

Napoleon was 5’ 6”, but again, average for the time. https://www.history.com/news/napoleon-complex-short#

He was short. But so was everyone else then.

That’s the Cheesecake Factory.

That Nautilus Terminal says it no longer works on the GitHub page. https://github.com/flozz/nautilus-terminal

Which sucks because that sounds great.

Can’t live without the terminal? Embed it directly in the file manager.

How?

The irony of trying to link Lemmy on Reddit… by spamming Reddit links all over Lemmy.

“Oh no! Our engagement is up right when we’re prepping for an IPO.”

We’re handling this breakup about as well as a woman faking a pregnancy.

Ok Malcolm.

Place gives Reddit exactly what it needs most - user engagement. By going, you’re feeding Reddit stats they can show prospective investors and advertisers on unique users, time on site, and clicks even after the protests.

Reddit was very crafty in relaunching Place right now. They can show a material post-API uptick exactly as Spez promised.

Also looks like the article was written by a bot, repeating itself and including doozies like:

fans can experience the masterpiece on their iOS and Android devices

Just throwing out “masterpiece” - for a mobile game. That hasn’t even be released yet.

Meh. From my antitrust course in law school (which was admittedly a long time ago), nothing about this screams antitrust. I don’t see that this deal gives Microsoft monopoly power over any defined market, and Microsoft definitely hasn’t flexed any existing monopoly power over the gaming space.

Certainly Microsoft has a history of anticompetitive action and flouting monopoly power whenever it has the chance in a sector. But I don’t see this deal as giving Microsoft a vertical or horizontal monopoly. It’s just typical consolidation within the industry. It’s not for consumers, but it isn’t the result of illegal price fixing type arrangements between competitors or using an existing dominant market share to overpower the market. That isn’t illegal. That’s just a shitty industry with shitty practices.

The best argument against allowing the deal to close, under US law, is likely targeted towards the cloud and subscription models. Microsoft really does seem to have a huge edge there. But I’m not sure anyone in the industry (except Epic Games) wants to challenge the subscription practices on another player’s hardware.
