Daniel Ek founded the company. He got to where he’s at by having lots of money. He got that money to found Spotify by being hired into other companies which were acquired. You’re describing “Executive Vice Presidents” that were promoted from within.

Viewing from another instance, it is still pinned. Fediverse, go!
Done? Time to unpin? Are those stupid questions?
A typical Internet scammer would have at least pretended to offer some money before stealing the username.
Yeah I don’t blame Chinese people for their government’s actions. It’s like hating Americans for what Trump says. Simply invite real Chinese people to post on Lemmy and give their honest opinions on GreatFire, and stop hurting their feelings.
A week ago I literally read articles about how .ml was switching to the (Russian-influenced) Mali government in a week, and did not even think about how lemmy.ml would be affected
For my old TV, the RED power LED is very helpful. Sometimes its on the wrong input, and very rarely something has gone wrong and I need to unplug-replug it in to fix the display. LED saves me clicking the power button when it’s already on.
It’s kind of big red dot, but not bright which I’m grateful for.
My Toyota touch-screen stopped responding to my touch after 11 years.
To be fair I’ve got shortcuts I reflexively use and clicked on Google links. It’s like quitting smoking and visiting your relatives who smoke? IDK
I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance 🔰
These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it’ll be fun.
There you are!!
Me too! The world would be worse without free TV/movie/software.
I’ve recently gotten cultist fever, would not have tried Cultist Simulator without the recommendation from Lemmy
Oh yep I see the longer reply. Yes there was at least a month of reading the subreddit and wiki every day before I got to that level, but for me the learning was fun. Would not recommend spending all that time and energy unless it’s part of the fun. For people that watch streams, I’d expect there’s a good educational one, I don’t watch streams though.
More ways to identify is a good example; there’s several methods of explosion to destroy gear that isn’t +1: bombs, explode rune, dungeon trap. Custom rooms will guarantee one of the potions on the same level is the solution to that room. The number of strength potions per dungeon type is fixed (3?). The ? rune is good once you use that meta-info to increase your odds of a good potion guess. Wands are generally safer to ID, just don’t be on something flammable or water.
Wands are pretty overpowered, and you can recharge em by throwing them into an activated electricity trap, or the energy ring. The way rings become overpowered in their own way as you feed upgrades into them is another aspect of replayability.
I really liked SPD because it felt like I could (eventually) approach 100% win rate, and the bad luck just made things more interesting. In that game, it’s not about what you’ve got so much as when you use it; and careful tile movement. Playing each room like a chess game and not a dungeon crawler was a fun way to play.
Ultima 7 was the first game I could build a house from logs in the pre-existing world, before Ultima Online and Minecraft. I had lots of fun exploring their hand-crafted world. Did my best not to steal from people :)
Oh yeah I forgot about StarSector. Purchasing that game was a bit non-standard. I definitely had a blast playing through the main campaign, then set it aside instead of getting into player mods. It’s a nice community and I hope to revisit whenever the “1.0” release comes out.
The coffin of Andy and Leyley on itch.io was uh something special too, a hilarious hour of slightly interactive game demo.
The letters I and C?
