@nicole_clash do engineers who automate away others' jobs ever wonder how those people felt about reduced hours/getting fired? are they surprised when their roles are automated away? this is why big tech made sure to get rid of anyone with aspirations to unionize as well

Yesterday was my last day at Riot Games. It’s been 3 years since I dropped out and joined the company. And despite the way my relationship with Riot ended, this has been the best learning experience I could have asked for. I had the chance to work with an amazing, passionate group of people, and count it among my many blessings. I was fired. I did not leave, and I was not laid off. I’m not going to come on here and pretend otherwise. They flat out fired me, and offered me 15k to keep my mouth shut. Needless to say, I did not take them up on that. The official reason for my termination that I was given was about an Applied AI pitch deck I made. I had put it up as a website with a password protection on it before sharing the site with our execs. They are claiming that I broke confidentiality. While I highly doubt that this was the real reason, I’m not gonna open myself up to libel by saying here what I believe the real reason to be. There has been no proof that anyone outside of Riot has seen the pitch deck, and that the security measures I’ve taken were not enough. What is more absurd, however, is that our CEO and various other execs have read it, told me how much they enjoyed reading it, and further encouraged me to explore the concepts I’ve outlined in the deck. Zero mention of needing me to take it down. If this was the decision of a random middle manager up my chain of command, I would have found that a lot easier to accept. What broke me though was the fact that an exec who I viewed as a role model, one of two people that I shared the deck with originally, who explicitly told me to share it out further, he knew about my termination ahead of time. And he did nothing to stop it. I was sad. Then I was pissed. Then I was sad and pissed. Now though, all I feel is an overwhelming sense of freedom. Normally, posting something like this is a big no no, since it will kill your chances of ever working in corporate. Luckily for me, I have made the decision that I will never work corporate again. Riot, if you’re reading this, I have also made the decision to not legally pursue the case of wrongful termination. We’re cool. I’m taking today off. Tomorrow is my first day as an entrepreneur. This is a step that I’ve thought about taking for a while now, but could never bring myself to leave Riot for. In a twisted way, I’m grateful the decision’s been made for me. I have a few ideas on direction. I will not be raising money. And I cannot wait to build, truly build.

NYPD delayed because they ran out of cuffs at Palantir office where Jews have staged a sit in refusing to leave until it ends deadly ICE contracts.

@NerdInked @RiotPhroxzon someone on balance team has to be a viego main. they want him z tier for his entire existence

@RiotPhroxzon Yoooooo ... Perhaps maybe let Viego R execute at full HP? For real now ... Why in the world would you buff his R? Its a reset ability. Can you chill a bit?

Patch 26.8 Full Preview! Viego - There's some notable discrepancies for specifically Viego's data in our internal data that led us to want to initially buff him - Looking at external data however seems to be notably different - Going to double check this data tomorrow and validate the data pipelines before determining whether or not to proceed with the buff Hwei - In line with the fantasy fulfilment I was talking about yesterday, Hwei changes are leaning into his identity as a combo mage - It is a cool pattern and in particular, this set of changes skews him more towards being effective in mid lane compared to bot lane with the level scaling - We're not opposed to him being viable in bot lane, but pushing him towards midlane - We think this makes Hwei more uniquely satisfying compared to say having his damage come from predominantly single QQ, QW or QE casts Lillia - Lillia's power clearing and movement speed are some of her most defining aspects - We're restoring some of that clear speed to better fulfil her fantasy there Lucian - Lucian in bot lane doesn't have a strong differentiation from Corki as a similarly early game dominant ability focused caster - These changes are trying to put more of Lucian's power into his early mobility and giving him more casts of it - We're going to monitor Lucian in solo lanes Mel - We separated some of Mel's damage output in 26.3 by creating a separation between her first initial hit and the subsequent hits - We're reducing how much value she gets from this initial Q landing and backloading the damage more to give her damage more counterplay - We still think we need to do more work to Mel long term - (ARAM) Another note here is that we've been investigating some ARAM specific changes to Mel, since her reflect can be harder to play against in that mode, given the narrowness of the play area Mundo - Mundo rates very highly on our frustration metrics and our changes here are targeted at average play Jungle - Not much to say here, we think top is in a more reasonable spot

"THE THREAT OF 15 YEARS IN PRISON HANDING OVER MY HEAD" “I wrote in my suicide note that if I died the British state would have yet more blood on its hands to add to all of that of the Palestinians It has abetted Israel in massacring. As a direct result of the state's putative manipulation of the legal process. I very nearly died.” Lottie Head, a former domestic abuse caseworker, describes the impact being incarcerated on wrongful charges had on their mental health, admitting to the fact that “this twisted form of psychological torture. It took its toll. Almost a year to the day of being in prison, I tried to take my own life.” Lottie Head is part of the Filton24, a group of activists across the UK currently facing trial for allegedly breaking into an Israeli-owned weapons factory that produces components to surveil and kill Palestinians.  @VoxUmmah @venanalysis @qiaocollective @ProgIntl @KawsachunNews @OrinocoTribune @blkagendareport @SoberaniaPod

"Our government is in cahoots with Israel, and they're leading us into unprovoked wars." Ex-Marine Brian McGinnis speaks to his supporters after his release from jail. McGinnis was arrested last week for disrupting a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing in a protest against the Iran war. He underwent emergency surgery after Capitol police broke his arm as he was forcefully dragged out of the hearing.

Palestinians — and the Palestinian-led global BDS movement — must and shall prevail, says BDS movement co-founder Omar Barghouti at the People's Congress for The Hague Group in Amsterdam.

This morning: full page ad in @Haaretz by @PeacePartners24 signed by 58 Israeli and Palestinian human rights and peace organizations titled "Stop The War". "This war too will not bring us security. We, the organizations of the “Peace Partnership,” call for an immediate end to the war. This is a war of choice that endangers us all. Our government chooses again and again endless war that causes loss of human life, destruction, and pain with no future and no political solutions. Only eight months ago they declared that the “Iranian threat” had been eliminated for generations. They lied to us then, and they are lying to us now. This attack and the crimes against the Palestinian people that continue under its cover will not bring security. In Israel, Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine there are frightened parents and children who only want to live. Only a joint struggle for a just peace, based on the rights of peoples, can bring real security to all the inhabitants of the region."

@WyllytheEGOIST @LoLMidorima yeah fuck all those nonsense podcasts

@LoLMidorima Most young men nowadays fill that time by getting really into some crappy podcast

What is even fulfilling to do these days? I wake up, go for a walk, study for 2 hours, then sleep. Games arent fun, my attention span too lazy to watch shows, and until I can take my certification exam in 2 months im just lost.

Full statement: “No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression. Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan. And it will not happen in Iran either. We are fed up with our rights, our bodies, and the violence women suffer being used as excuses to justify illegal bombings and imperialist aggression. All year long they call us ‘woke’ and blame us for everything. But when they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for money, their colonial and imperialist wars — suddenly they use women’s rights as their justification.”

It’s driving me crazy that no one is mentioning that Brian McGinnis- who had his arm snapped for saying ‘no war for Isra*l is a Green candidate for senate. There is one viable opposition party in the US- and it ain’t the Dems. brianmcginnis4ussenatenc.org

@JE66062 @Ki11ersix @ayekeeno and on top of that, their own hosting is "subsidized" is amazon owns aws which run like 1/3 of the servers in america anyway

@JE66062 @Ki11ersix @ayekeeno to support the streamer... they already make enough money, they just want to make MORE money on top, also, all corporations want people to watch ads because ads helps people stay as consumers, and theyre owned by amazon

Doja Cat was left disappointed with Twitch after attempting to turn off ads so her chat could watch ad-free, only to learn that verified creators can’t fully disable them 😭💔 x.com/icanafforditt/…

Actress and activist @Janefonda joined hundreds in Downtown LA today at an emergency demonstration protesting the US and Israeli attacks on Iran conducted in the past day. In her speech, she drew parallels with the Vietnam war and urged Americans to hit the streets - the people's movement put an end to that war, and it can stop this one as well. We don't want our money being used to murder middle eastern children to create profit for billionaires. We want healthcare, housing and education for working people at home. NO WAR ON IRAN!

@haru_nemuri giving your music a listen now, it's awesome, keep it up!!!!!!!!

@haru_nemuri are definitely leftist on the average, the platform itself doesn't have a lot of visibility and i think it could use a lot of improvements, but they are certainly interested in decoupling from the current capitalistic mechanisms of the music industry when possible i think

I just visited Okinawa, where most of the U.S. military bases in Japan are concentrated. With the war on Iran by the U.S. and Israel on my mind, I find myself thinking about all the people I met there. Every nation-state seems to exist on the premise of war. That’s one of the reasons I call myself an anarchist. Fuck imperialism. Fuck nationalism. Fuck war. 最近、日本にある米軍基地の大半が集中している沖縄を訪れていた。アメリカとイスラエルによるイランへの戦争のことを思いながら、そこで出会ったひとたちのことを考えている。 あらゆる国家は、戦争を前提として存在しているように思える。それは、ぼくが自分をアナーキストと呼ぶことになった理由のひとつだ。 帝国主義なんてクソだ。 ナショナリズムなんてクソだ。 戦争なんてクソだ。

I built a free scouting tool for professional LoL games. A lot of orgs & coaches in the ERLs have no dedicated analyst and no budget. I took something I’d already built, repackaged it up with Claude, and made it open source. Drop your Grid export files into a folder and get an instant minimap replay in your browser. Useful for scouting: - level 1 positioning - early trinket & pink rotations - jungle pathing - gank/kill patterns in the first 5 minutes Very simple to use for coaches with no coding experience, runs locally on your pc, no API key needed. 🔗 github.com/Boch-dev-98/lo…
