Out of the loop

Title says it all

I have seen this man before but I do not know who he is

Whats the final outcome of Unity's changes to their license. Also, do the changes apply to previously released games?

I keep seeing posts of some drama with typescript. What happened?

What changes are they making, and how to prevent them affecting users?

Also, does Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, or a VPN with ad-blocking and anti-tracking prevent the new data collection through Chrome?

Was he arrested or something?

I have heard the usual "commie" bullshit and that they deny Uyghur genocide / stalin's crimes etc. I don't have a negative opinion of them, in fact they are one of the most kind and emphatic people on lemmy so I wanted a bit of background. Thanks!

Back in 2017 the story broke that Trump and his goons tried to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton from a Russian government official. The emails were clear solicitation of foreign interference with a presidential election. You know, the whole “if it is what you say, we love it” thing, which must be illegal.

Now he’s getting indicted for some of the other blatantly illegal things he did while president. So what’s going on with that one?

I get that there were probably hundreds of illegal things he did, and some will never get prosecuted, but this seemed like one of the worst, and most red-handed of them all.

Is it just being forgotten or did I miss something?

I've been seeing a few posts about this, and judging by comments I've seen on posts related to this, there's been bad sentiment building up with LMG for some time now that has culminated in this recent dispute. Anyone have a brief catch-up of events?

I'm just so confused, what on earth happened?

I've seen a number of posts mention it, but none of them links to an explanation.

Title says it all I actually browsed reddit for the first time in months and their news is still better then ours and it kind of pissed me off.

I am hesitant to Google because of all the absolute garbage that will come up, I don't want to sift through. Can anyone give me a little sparks notes on the shit he stands for? What has everyone whipped up into a frenzy?

Is Musk competing with Zuck for the worst branding ever?

Posts referencing some things happening or not happening in small towns are all over lemmy & mastodon, sometimes with a picture of some country singer (?) with a cowboy hat (but never with a name do I can't just google what's going on).

Apparently it has something to do with threatening violence?

There's been a lot of controversy lately surrounding the protest actions over on r/place but having never been there myself I don't understand what the purpose of the subreddit was originally, or why protesting users chose that specific subreddit to utilize, a breif explanation would be much appreciated ✌️

I've seen headlines about actors/actresses protesting about stuff. The same goes for other creative talent in the entertainment industry. What's going on there? What are their demands? What fueled these protests all of a sudden?

Since yesterday the FMHY instance, lemmy.fmhy.ml, is seemingly offline. My main account is registered there amd I haven't been able to access it all day.

The admins made a Calckey account to help communicate during server downtimes but nothing is posted there at all.

Anybody know whats going on?
