San Francisco police told Polygon that officers responded to Unity’s San Francisco office “regarding a threats incident.” A “reporting party” told police that “an employee made a threat towards his employer using social media.” The employee that made the threat works in an office outside of California, according to the police statement.

    We really need to make this a thing again. Not only for software but for anything. And we need legislature to enable us.

    Don’t like how the banks treat people? Make your own. In the USA you need 12 million capital to even open such a thing. Since 2008, the banks have seemingly no competition from new banks (source https://www.upflip.com/blog/how-to-start-a-bank).

    One could say that you‘re not allowed to take any of your hard earned money out of the company until you reach those 12 mil capitalization.

      Your comment, if thought about critically, doesn’t seem as well informed as you obviously wanted to come across

        I‘d very much appreciate if you didn’t assume what I wanted to achieve with my post.

        To clarify it for you:

        • I think this unity thing is horrendous
        • It obviously is part of the enshittification pattern we see everywhere
        • I feel like this goes far beyond tech
        • I never wanted to „come across“ a certain way. I‘m autistic have a very different perception of things. My goal in a post is to inform or get informed.

        Maybe this helps to clear things up. Feel free to correct things you think are inaccurate.
