You know that there's different depictions of Jesus in many races, right? Like, people in Africa have depictions of a black Jesus, for example.

Yep, that's him. For those who still don't get it: He's the CEO of Epic Games who are also the developers of Unreal Engine.

Personally, I really wish it was as easy to search for Lemmy posts with a search engine as it is with Reddit. Idk, maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Did anyone actually die because of it? I couldn't find any reports on that. Maybe that's just because Google is useless, idk

A lot of it is because Amazon is known for stealing designs from innovative, small companies and running them out of business to sell their stolen designs under the Amazon Basics brand. Usually they do so by decreasing the quality of materials and relying on their own supply chain to keep prices low.

Edit: Also found this Youtube video by Peak Design, who are very well known for their high quality gear. It's about Amazon ripping off their sling bag design.

Because they're a small company producing a niche product, so the scale they produce on is way smaller too. They also don't have a huge B2B branch to cover their other costs with, like HP, for example.

And it is actually sometimes more expensive to make something modular than not, just in manpower and testing alone, not even considering RnD and manufacturing. Also, they make less money in repairs or new devices, if the users can just easily repair the device themselves.

So unless they manage to stay in the business for a while and grow their customer base by quite a big amount, their prices will most likely stay the same. Personally I think that they're on a good path to getting there eventually.

I think Baldur's Gate 3 exceeded expectations for many people.

Ukraine and Taiwan need the help. But does Israel?

There are no women on the internet. Men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

We should also hold their fans accountable for being mindless assholes. If some guy I watch on the internet tells me that he got a bad review, my first thought is not "I should send death threats to this reviewer". Like, that's not how a normal, semi well adjusted person behaves!

It's not even funny how many people still equate "having sex" with something everyone has to do AT LEAST ONCE before they're 18. That's a super dangerous mindset.
