I may be wrong, but if a CEO lays off critical staff (i.e. invoice fulfillment and payroll) and makes decisions that cuts off main revenue sources, they do have a hand in this. The article also states that this behavior of not paying rent is specifically per the instruction of Musk.

Musk has instructed Twitter employees to pause payments to contractors and vendors to try to decrease the outstanding bills.

Princess Diana is the ultimate pretty white lady who is untouchable because she’s dead, but that still doesn’t change the fact that...

There are many automated tools that run obsolete operating systems. And they will keep running just fine, if they are isolated from the internet.

I’m not sure that would make a difference. My family/extended family is full of teachers and they’ve all noted over the last few years how little parents seem to care about what the teachers say/ask. Not all parents, but more and more. The grades they teach vary from middle school, elementary school, and high school,…

odds are the parents neither know how much damage that social media stes are doing to their children, or just don’t care...the number of parents i see just hand over their electronic devices to placate/distract their children is overwhelming.

How much outreach have these schools done to parents first do discuss limiting of these services to kids? 

Many people want to have children someday. It’s also a feminist issue - though fertility declines with age in everyone, in women, the decline starts sooner and is much steeper - a fair number of women can have trouble conceiving as early as their mid-30s; the prime age to have kids also the time when people are…

if so few people use it, what is the real savings here? The cut doesn’t seem well thought out and fits right in with his other knee jerk changes.

To answer your question:

Fits with some of his other companies. SpaceX, for example, has a reputation for using mostly new aerospace engineers and working them to burn-out in a few years, after which they move on to new companies with a good resume line and presumably more of a normal life. He doesn’t run companies that support much of a…

It’s always a big deal when companies slash benefits for employees, even if the company is a shitty one.

I think it bears mentioning that “birth rate” concerns frequently end up falling into eugenicist, racist or xenophobic areas...

In fairness to the author, it was the first line in the 3rd paragraph

I would beg to differ on one perspective... older generations click on any and everything because they don’t know any better. So they have ad blockers. But they also have the coupon bar. And the search bar from Yahoo!... and Bing. They have it all! And by all, I mean virus, malware and the like.

My understanding was that at the launch of the PS5, the Xbox Adaptive Controller was not compatible with the PS5- does anyone know if this is still the case?

People who aren’t online all the time are the people who need ad blockers the MOST. You and I both know about fake download buttons, blogspam referral links, etc. Our parents don’t.

No one should be running Chrome on Windows 7 in 2023.

Yes - because all parents are busy fiddling with VCRs and trying to figure out what a mouse is.

To be fair, Chrome is about to be a problem on everyone’s PC since it’s doing everything it can to get rid of adblockers.
