Well, they made an offer to John Oliver to become a mod.

One of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord in c/reddit@lemmy.world

Yeah, many users of hardwareswap were not thrilled to hear they'd be moving to Discord.

Soundtrack Show And Tell (lemmy.world)
 

Show off your favorite songs from PlayStation games!

First off, I have The Men of Intelligence from Dynasty Warriors 3's Battle of Hei Fei Castle, on the Wei side. It's my favorite track on an album, and it really sets the tone for one of the final battles in the game that is absolutely brutal on harder difficulties.

Next is Oltanis Orbit - Gemlik Base from Ratchet and Clank (2002). It's a great blend of ambient and funky, and that opening note as you get the overview shot of the level is just perfect.

Finally, I'd like to share Boldan - Silver City from Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. It captures the level's vibe perfectly, and it benefits a lot from headphones. The intro switches sides a few times, which is a cool detail that my mono CRT couldn't show off.

All three of the songs come from albums that I think are full of other great songs, and I highly recommend you check them out if you like what I've posted.

Now it's your turn!

This is a detail that I've always appreciated about the early Ratchet and Clank games and it was cool to find someone giving it some love

What was "The Incident" at work that caused an exodus in the work force? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Company was bought by a VC group with no experience in the industry. They spent their resources in all the wrong places, leading to alienated employees with no morale. They were also behind on office rental payments.

We had no formal IT or standard laptop hardware or software. One team decided they were all done after their director left. The CEO decided that they were colluding and fired them all at once. Nobody else was cleared for that project's SCIF, meaning nobody could contact the customer over secure channels. Additionally, their drives were encrypted with personal passwords that were never turned over as the employees had no proper exit process.

Between that and my team slowly leaving due to morale, they lost 2/3 of the few contracts they had, along with the technical expertise responsible for them.

That's why no one with half a brain downloads the official Reddit app. in c/reddit@lemmy.world

The worst part to me is the people still on Reddit complaining about the blackout because "you can scroll past the ads", which completely misses the point
