SoftBank is suing portfolio company IRL after it admitted 95% of its users were fake. VCs are stressing the need for ‘uncomfortable’ due diligence in c/technology@lemmy.world

How is it uncomfortable verifying how many customers you have? As someone who works in the legal sector I am staggered by how many anyone nebulous software companies are bought without the buyer conducting minimal due diligence like a review of the top 20 customers.

This is wild, a significant percentage of Twitter's value was its brand, and this guy has just slapped an X on it and changed the colour scheme to dark mode. Do people actually still use Twitter?

The season 2 finale of Alice in Borderland may be the worst episode I've ever seen (lemmy.world)
 

This was nearing GoT level ass pull, did anyone watch this and enjoy it. I counted 15 minutes Alice was lying on the floor with minimal dialogue. Everyone came back to life after what was a very well made penultimate episode, then we had three fake outs with the final boss, only to end with it was all a dream, but not really as there was a meteorite that hit Tokyo.

Is it normal to not say hello or good morning to your colleagues when you come into the office? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been living here for a few years now and it strikes me as so bizarre not to acknowledge someone's presence as they come into the office. Is it the norm here? I am a Northerner so this could be a reason it is so jarring to me.
