Sweet. Haven’t really posted anything public since Musk bought Twitter. Everything else has been too much bullshit. Mastodon and other federated nonsense like Nostr are all about trading the networking work so that it’s diffused to users and operators instead of server hosts. And Spoutible and Cohost are both…

lol

It’s hilarious if you actually believe this. So, if you don’t, good show! And if you do, thanks for the laugh!

Cool. And Good.

Threads is what any reasonable company would call “down and out”. Last I had seen, it was doing about a 10th of Twitter’s DAU, and only about 3 minutes per day for each user. It’s a ghost town.

My money is on Sony shutting it down, but my heart is with this dude. Fuck them if they won’t support the product. I’ve long had a mind to do something like this to Konami, but those are the kind of daydreams you’re sure you’ll never actually commit to until you start on them. This bloke really went and put his self…

Ha ha! Yeah, it’s funny how that works. Diametrically opposed politics with tech bros until it comes down to their own ego. Then it’s all “my one idea is so fucking brilliant that it should make money forever, and I or the people I choose should get all of that money”.
They each hide their craven narcissistic hoarding…

Yep. As it has since the establishment of the Mouse dynasty, we are achingly overdue for Intellectual Property reform, and no amount of concern about technology is going to be a replacement for that very real societal change that needs to happen.

That is great to hear! I’ve been wanting to get one for this exact setup. I’m happy to game on the go, but my Switch MOSTLY stays docked. I figured the same would be true for the SteamDeck.

Yeah. Herein lies the problem with Gawker’s form of “journalism”. Doesn’t provide enough details to know where the true complications are, in lieu of making a principled stance apparent throughout the article. It’s fine for most stuff; it just makes complicated subjects like this useless to read on this site.

Personally, I’m going to wager that the “ghost” company, made by VCs to extract value out of a specific market, by targeting that market’s most favored qualities (speed, notoriety, and food familiarity), is going to do fine during discovery, and during the trial. I agree with you that they won’t want to do discovery…

No, don’t you get it? His self-serving acts of performative and de-humanizing kindness cover for all of his otherwise bog-standard YouTube Star personal qualities, like opportunism, disingenuousness, and artificiality.

Elon lies. A lot. That’s not even something he’d deny.

lol

Ah, see, not the anti-vaxxer, just a pathetic bootlicker! Much more dignified, apparently?

Hell yeah! It’s always a troubling sign when publications have to wind down operations, due to how often the cause is moneyed interests deciding to prevent that voice from being heard (however indirectly). But, luckily, that doesn’t seem to be the case here!

The best part about the “misses” is watching people think that jokes they don’t get/like are “misses” and then laughing at how inscrutable or unfunny they think it all is.

Exactly. Glad that he’s suing, but he should face some accountability of his own.

Ah, see, we’ve got a TON of what are colloquially called “hot plate” mexican diners, as well as “rice bowl” chinese places and both of those are pretty similar about not having any online presence other than Uber/DoorDash/Grubhub, but having awesome food that you can only otherwise get as takeaway (have to go into the…

I don’t know about “only”, but I certainly don’t download every tom, dick, and jane’s single-purpose app strictly to order food from. McDonald’s app? Wendys’? Burger king? Popeyes? Chipotle? Fuck outta here. That’s a personal data collection racket that I’m not interested in providing information for.
