People actually voted for that guy

Ha!

Yes, capitalism is horrible bullshit that we all must suffer through (for now). No argument there.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but I believe that within the next decade, car companies are just going to have to deal with the fact that a lot of very intelligent (and independent) software developers are able to work around their proprietary crap. Currently, they’re fighting it rather a lot, but that fight can only be sustained for so long before it becomes unprofitable for the corporations.

I give it another 10 years before car makers just fucking give up on fighting this kind of thing.

It’s gonna be a rough 10 years though

Oh, I remember that! It was inside the little packet

One does not

K, bye

Well, at least we know who has a gigantic amount of shares and OpenAI

Fun on a bun

Calling out bullshit as bullshit is always the most appropriate response.

There is no such thing as invisible sky wizards who grant wishes. “Magic” isn’t real. If you think you can hear supernatural creatures speaking to you, consult the nearest psychiatrist.

I’m not a bot

It’s all ridiculous and silly make belief. I don’t see the problem here. As long as Bethesda paid the necessary, licensing fees to origin.

Just imagine if actual people thought this sort of bullshit was real in this Day and age… Lol…

Threat? To whom?

People did that? Lol

Save these comments. In 10 years, you’ll be glad you did.

My goodness, I really hope you feel better. That was quite the blood letting!

Of course, I feel the same way.

But, for me, my quitting point was the mistreatment of Christian Selig, the Apollo developer. That whole crazy bullshit was just so bad for me. I left about that and the whole API thing.

I’d been on Reddit since 2005 or so, and I’d already been through a few “upheavals”, but this was my breaking point. What Reddit had become, at that point, was something I wanted no part of.

I can’t really argue with anything you said. But I will say that in the grand scheme of things that are bad for society and bad for kids, social media is merely one in 1000 different things. You were right about that, too, but I just wanted to clarify my point earlier that I wasn’t just using the “for the kids“ argument. Social media is, indeed, very bad for everyone. Just, particularly, kids.

Of course, I also believe that these things could be improved about social media. It’s just that the profit motive behind social media means that the sorts of improvements to the betterment of society will likely never be explored unless they are the most profitable option.

Devs that are punching above their class, however, probably get great benefit from it. I would think it’s also an OK learning tool, except for how inaccurate it can be sometimes.

That’s particularly scummy of the New Yorker, what I used to think was a pretty great publication.

Although it is true that social media is not good for children, I’m sure it’s not actually killing them.
