I’m really hoping for thermite. A lot of thermite.

Honestly, I think almost everything else is worse than Google.
I set my default to duck duck go, and it’s getting better, but I still fall back on google with some regularity
It’s just that in America they realized if they complain enough, they get to rub they’re hands gleefully at the thought of all that electricity they’re going to sell, AND all the public money they’re going to get to upgrade the grid!
Assumedly, to deal with a race condition.
An ipod with a much larger screen (320×240 vs 480x320), a camera, and could take phone calls, browse the internet, and do email.
Oh, he was an absolute asshole. Seems I deleted that sentence. RIP me.
“I have enabled and ushered in a new age of knowledge access like no other, here’s a cool way to eat that goes against all reasonable nutritionists’ advice. Sounds good to me!” - Really seems like a fitting way to kick off this century IMO.
I think people love to hate Steve. The one thing people love more than a great figurehead, is hating one. I think that Steve had a great internal model of how to combine form/function.
iPhone wasn’t the first smartphone, but it may as well have been. It brought the smartphone to the mass market.
Part of it was a great advertising campaign, which unlike the smartphones at the time, pitched it as a luxury good as opposed to an executive enterprise one. You owned a blackberry to answer emails wherever and whenever you were, you owned an iphone so you can check Google Maps. A large part of it was redefining both the form factor, and use case of a smartphone.
Congratulations on being old e ough to buy property when it was cheap.
For the rest of us, we all adapted to the low interest post-08 world. Now, we need to adapt to the higher interest post-21 world.
You need more upvotes.
High interest rates are here, and it’s likely to be some time before we get back down to the 1% interest rates we saw during covid (or even before).
Companies are shifting either to real or imagined pressures of the stick market. And those pressures are less about chasing unlimited growth and want to see some return.
Ergo. Layoffs. Meta producing dividends.
If interest rates stay high, I’d expect to see large megacorps shift more and more to profitability over growth.
Time to donate to the internet archibe.
I do believe he testified recently that he is in good financial standing and has $400m cash. Which means perjury time, baby! Let’s go!
so, we’ve moved from “ots not real” through past “maybe its real, but its not.human caused” all the way to “its real and we can’t do anything about it”/“its too late to do anything about ot”
If Facebook hasn’t had a mas exodus, neither will Reddit.
Facebooks death is slow and ongoing, and I’m pretty sure Reddit’s will be too.
Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
He sold the shares, why should Tesla reimburse him for his folly? If he wants to have those shares back, he can rebuy them on the open market, just like anybody else would do.
I believe in order for that to work, the shares have to be set up for that during IPO. I’m not sure of any company that’s done it mid-flight (but I could be wrong).
To dislike the feature is one thing, to not understand why ithers valued it is a whole pther ball game of ignorance
Ehhhh
Signal lost a lot of my love when they removed SMS support
Brave seems like a superb option.
Opera seems like a reasonable option, I guess, but I’m not sure if it has the market share to actually be seen and controversial if there was something to be controversial about.
I think it’s far more likely there’s some sales goal and or performance indicator at play here.
