Make Sony continue to pour money into the servers
I work in IT. I can pretty much guarantee that server load for a game like this is nonexistent from a cost perspective. They’re not going to be using cloud services, they’re going to privately host because it’s way cheaper. Early days playercount woes were before they added more nodes to their solution. Whatever cost they had for servers is already paid. Electricity and facilities costs are whatever because they are paying it anyway. They can’t just fire the people maintaining their solution either but that’s also baby bucks compared to the money spent building this thing or marketing it.
Gaming protests of popular games never work unless the objective doesn’t alter the bottom line.
even India and China is getting behind sanctions.
Today this article popped up about sanctioning china because they are supplying russian arms manufacturers with resources: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/26/antony-blinken-beijing-visiit-china-us-relations-foreign-minister-wang-yi
A quick google search pulls up dozens of articles about how China is helping the Russian war effort…
India however doesn’t supply arms, but instead buys them from Russia. Instead India is buying Russia’s oil, funding their war effort in another way. India is buying 13x the amount of oil they would normally buy from Russia pre-war. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/19/europe/russia-oil-india-shadow-fleet-cmd-intl/index.html
I don’t see China truly reducing their war supplies to China, nor do I see India calling off their oil deal. Unless Russia is actually cut off they’re just going to keep getting supplies.
That isn’t how it works though. Nobody is collecting billions in wages. They receive stock which isn’t counted as taxable income until sold.
they’re basically embargo’d by most of the world
A big portion of the world isn’t aligned with the US and has no embargo on Russia. Like we’re talking almost everything except US / Western Europe / Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_sanctions_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#/media/File:Russian-list-of-unfriendly-countries.svg
That’s right lemmy, don’t ever tell anyone anything unless you’re paying them to listen to you.
Just insane that a country can kill hundreds of thousands of it’s neighbors and take their land while being protected by a country decrying the same action by another country.
This isn’t going to solve any problems for the Israelis. They’ll just be a bigger target for the middle east. What happens when the Palestinian kids clinging to life grow up in neighboring countries? Do they think they won’t find more rockets and conduct more attacks? What will Israel do when the attacks come from Jordan or Egypt? invade those countries too?
THEY get something given to them!??!? NO WAY, NOT UNLESS ITS FOR ME TOO
-Sincerely, dumb people who can’t put themselves in anyone elses shoes. The world revolves around their life experience and nothing else.
Have you ever read about subscription services and how people don’t cancel them for years even after they stop using them?
You ever hear about AOL having millions of subs for years and years long after the service was relevant, as recently as 2021?
I cancelled 6 months ago. It just ran out yesterday.
Now I have to put $35 of physical items in my cart for free shipping. Oh no! what ever will I do!?
Does this mean Biden is positioning to enter the Ukraine war? Would probably help his numbers in the upcoming election against Trump.
Offensive wars certainly don’t go over well, now more than ever in the internet age. Israel had a point where what they were doing was understandable but they exceeded that point on day one.
I thought paying adults a hundred bucks a month was enough to live on so they didn’t have to send their kids off to work because “cost of living is lower” ?
This is the cost of wage slavery in poverty stricken nations. The wealthy elite take the wealth of these workers and steal it by paying them nothing and importing their finished goods into the US and other wealthier nations.
You can find out all kinds of information about this on youtube by looking at “Why so expensive?” videos from business insider. We pretend like we outlawed slavery but it’s still effectively alive and well.
You could call these lightning gyoza if you wanted a cool name to entice people to try them. Just saying!
Some of us who lived in that era and who are tech savvy think the privacy paranoia is little more than the equivalent of TSA’s security theater at airports.
There is nothing stopping anyone from finding out exactly who you are, where you are, and what you’re doing. We all carry locator devices today that never existed in the era of the phone book.
Our social security numbers weren’t in databases with internet exposure where financial companies with information “security” could have them leak. Everyone’s has leaked now.
A lot more people than you’d think are easily googled right down to address, family names, current phone number, past addresses… you name it. Leaks happen every single day and big data is everywhere monitoring your everything.
Having your name, address and home phone number in a book that only has regional numbers and isn’t widely distributed beyond the local scope is the the smallest privacy concern.
Seems like the average young person is fine posting photos and videos on all the social media platforms journaling their whereabouts and habits too.

How important are tanks in modern warfare?
I’ve been under the impression that infantry, drones (both recon and attack), mortars, artillery and guided missiles are kind of the thing to focus on in modern war. I think of tanks as big expensive targets.
management and HR will swear up and down they are anonymous. Even on web forums… but the reality is you get a really obvious idea of who said what on what teams because management band together to figure out who would have said something based on their attitude, opinions and perspective.
You can and will be singled out by management for saying negative things. Managers will be required to address the criticism… by choosing strategies behind closed doors, perhaps after having a “group discussion” where they report what they want their boss to hear to their boss, and then tell said boss what the plan is to change to address things is later. It will not be a change that affects the leader except to show they did something worthy of a performance bonus or a promotion though.
All results that ask for more pay are basically ignored. They know why the departments with high turnover have high turnover. It’s a decision to keep those workers paid less because there’s no value to paying them more. Usually the highest turnover roles are treated like commodities. Sales person with strong ethics? Fired! Sales person caught doing illegal stuff to get sales? Fired! Sales person who gets away with selling doctors on drugs for unapproved indications? Big bonuses!
The moment the bosses and the owner decided they wanted to get paid more than the workers was the moment any sense of equity vanished.
