If it had happened like in the 1980s or something it would have been forgiveable but it was like 2006, at that point we all already knew climate change was real.

I never really forgave them for the original ManBearPig climat change denialism.

users and contributors need to stop feeling entitled to maintainers’ unpaid labor and time

And the rest of us need to stand up for maintainers against bullies.

This article’s compatible with that. The tldr is as usual brother laser, any model.

I too am outraged by the outrage.

WallStreetBets users should really set up an alternate community elsewhere (like here)

Here as in the fediverse, maybe, I don’t think lemmy.ml mods would be too welcoming, seeing as how they are marxist leninists. XD

Seriously though I’m sure WSB guys have a ton of offsite back channels. Aside from short squeezes that sub seems to be running pump and dump schemes.

It would have an impact on their current profit or loss, yes. Stock options are an expense in accounting.

Even without the options though, look at the actual stock they handed out:

Huffman’s compensation package for 2023 was worth $193.2 million, which included salary of $341,346, stock awards worth $98.3 million and stock options valued at $93.8 million. Wong’s total comp of $92.5 million included a base salary of $583,820, stock awards of $45.7 million and stock options worth $45.7 million.

@Dhs92 nope. His salary used to be 300k but last year he got paid $192 million, including stock etc.

They would be in profit if they paid Spez and co normal amounts of money instead of nearly 200 million per year on Spez alone.

Basically Reddit is a scam in terms of investment.

Yeah the fact they’re deliberately targeting individual investors instead of institutional investors kind of underscores that this is a cashout.

Great, if I ever feel like going to a hellscape full of shills and influencers I’ll bear that in mind.

Well that’s annoying. I only ever use it for if I’m trying to buy something off a stranger on one of those facebook market groups. Which only happens a couple of times a year.

So I guess I will have to install their big version and then uninstall it after I buy the thing.

It’s all good, I think I just needed to read more slowly!

I misread that as you describing your dog as succulent.

Thanks, might switch. I’m tired of Adobe running ten tons of crap in the background.

That’s interesting, is this worldwide or just in your country (America?)

I’m out of the loop, I had assumed the sausage factory was churning along ok.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

I guess the silver lining is that academic creative writing is a bit of a pyramid scheme, so if she goes the route of writing “literary” stuff that gets published by her university press, she will probably be able to get work teaching creative writing…

Thanks I hate it.
