The headline makes it sound scarier than it is. They're being replaced by the current second in command, not some partisan nut job. Plus, it's being done by the mayor of Milwaukee, a city that has a history of electing socialist mayor's; he's fairly liberal, especially for a state like Wisconsin.

Well then maybe it's important to note he isn't on trial for treason? The charges are for hacking and espionage.

Wait, so every time I breathe out I'm actually vomiting? TIL.

Article title isn't super clear, but this is for video game developers who have either been laid off themselves OR others on their team have been impacted. It's still bad, but the 35% quoted as impacted in the article is not actually a percentage of layoffs.

Would it blow your mind doubly to find out he's actually in his 50s?

What, you don't normally buy your morning coffee by the quart?

Saying they cited transparency issues is disingenuous. They never mentioned transparency in their announcement. What their reasoning was is that they didn't like having to worry about leaking unreleased features through their repos, and instead of finding a technical solution they decided to just stop maintaining their public repos instead and made the code closed source. It's shitty, but they didn't say it was done for transparency reasons.

Here's the actual announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/6xfyfg/an_update_on_the_state_of_the_redditreddit_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

How exactly would it put them in the line of fire? And how does defederating have anything to do with potentially being sued by Twitter?

Is there any way to block an entire server that's federated to the one you have an account on? I don't want to individually block every single community.
