Hey! Don't threaten people! Don't hurt anyone! Just move to Godot. That's it. Abandon ship, peacefully. These people care more about money than employee lives anyway.
I find this and other comments like this hilarious because you're 100% correct and yet at the same time lemmy is a cesspool of people on every post about an owner, or landlord, or millionaire/billionaire about killing them, or beating them, or bringing out the guillotine, or eating them, etc etc.
Again, you're right. It's amazing how tone deaf people are here though to not be aware their behavior reeks of the same extremism.
It's why I'm very much on the fence about continuing here outside of the memes. The people here are disgustingly naive and not healthy quite frankly.
Rich choking and killing the planet knowingly with no regard for human or any other life = unity devs

join a community with your values, lemmy is federated, if you don't like your community join another :)
Where do I find one of those? Most communities with any traffic feel like they're full of the same people with the same axes to grind, just talking about slightly different subjects.
Idk why the downvotes. It's seriously off putting to be surrounded by people that clearly have no idea how the world works. It was funny before Trump. Now I take these meme waves with a grain of salt. Idiots in large numbers are dangerous. At least reddit was easy enough to use that the cesspool was diluted with less intense morons.
Please teach us how the world works.
I'm a landlord. Never evicted anyone. It's a super high risk position to be in. My mortgage isn't free. The upkeep to my property isn't free. Time spent vetting renters so my neighbors don't have to live next to crackheads isn't free. You pay rent so you don't have to think about maintenence costs, mortgage, risking allowing others to live in property you spent money you worked for on. All of that and any other subtly is lost on here. Going to work and enjoying it is possible. The world isn't black and white. Communism doesn't work on a large scale. Etc.
Pretty amazing how a small group on Lemmy can make Reddit look almost sane.
Because companies demanding more money from their customers for the same product is such a rare thing, right? Who could possibly have anticipated it!
Have you actually looked at what they're charging? Nobody is gonna be bankrupted. The pricing structure they announced guarantees the cut Unity takes is a tiny sliver of any developer's revenue unless they're literally only charging like $1 for their product in developing countries.
There are no victims in this story, and even if there were, what I said would not be victim blaming. Seriously, point to where I said developers were asking for it. You can't because I didn't, but you're so high on your own farts you can't read a single sentence without wildly misinterpreting it.
I'm just someone who can read.
If you think I'm so far off, I'm sure you'll have no trouble telling me exactly how much they're planning to charge, right? Right?
Those after school specials were all bullshit.
Nice try Mr. Marijuana Pusher. Thanks to Nancy Reagan I'll "just say no"
