SoftBank is suing portfolio company IRL after it admitted 95% of its users were fake. VCs are stressing the need for ‘uncomfortable’ due diligence

How is it uncomfortable verifying how many customers you have? As someone who works in the legal sector I am staggered by how many anyone nebulous software companies are bought without the buyer conducting minimal due diligence like a review of the top 20 customers.

As a corporate drone the first episode really resonated with me. This anime is pure kino.

Surely a pirate in the Caribbean or the Philippines wouldnt be too awful as you wouldn't be out at sea that much and close to land. For me it's the exploration and discovery that appeals to a life of piracy, but in reality I imagine it would be an absolute dog shit existence, especially compared to that of a samurai (minimal bloodshed unless there's a war) or cowboy (you look after horses on a ranch). However, many pirates just did a stint and then returned back home, so what's 2-3 years of making booty and having PTSD from cannon fire/pillaging.
I feel like now I've played a bit, I can go through the motions and make my character secure within a week i.e survive the helicopter event, find a car, secure a base, have ample food, water and guns. For me, the zombies don't really pose a threat any more knowing that I can just make a racket, round them up and pied Piper the fuckers to the nearest forest. I guess I'm waiting for NPCs to really stir things up but that doesn't seem to be in the near future. What have you guys done to make the game more difficult or entertaining after you got the gameplay loop down?

Twitter is now X as the little blue bird disappears

This is wild, a significant percentage of Twitter's value was its brand, and this guy has just slapped an X on it and changed the colour scheme to dark mode. Do people actually still use Twitter?
This was nearing GoT level ass pull, did anyone watch this and enjoy it. I counted 15 minutes Alice was lying on the floor with minimal dialogue. Everyone came back to life after what was a very well made penultimate episode, then we had three fake outs with the final boss, only to end with it was all a dream, but not really as there was a meteorite that hit Tokyo.

What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play?

Weird I didn't mind the gatcha it's the fucking non-stop talking fairy and unskippable dialogue, I have 30 minutes to an hour of time to PLAY the game and I'm sat smashing A trying to get to the content.
I've been living here for a few years now and it strikes me as so bizarre not to acknowledge someone's presence as they come into the office. Is it the norm here? I am a Northerner so this could be a reason it is so jarring to me.
Ask Lemmy
There's an empty space in the corner if my home screen where RIF used to be. Can someone suggest some Lemmy apps for android?

Currently using wefwef but it's a bit janky or is that because of the influx of users? I also get an error with Jerboa about versions

It's 1:27 am and I need to wake up in 6 hours.
This is a classic Zomboid guide which really helped me in surviving week 1. Hopefully it can help some newbies who wander over to this community.
Bonus if it's 5 minutes into your run and it's the house adjacent to where you started
Looking forward to celebrating the release of DS2 and the upcoming movie on Lemmy with you all.
I didn't see a post here yet but wanted to make sure this Community is up and running. I really liked the community we had over at Reddit and I think we should strive to keep kind to one another during the apocalypse and continue creating fun content to enjoy our favourite indie game. Keep on keeping on, Zomboids.
