The guy has an uncanny knack of accelerating good things, despite trying his darndest to destroy everything good.
Canada was becoming divided before he came along, Tesla was considered a viable brand, and now he’s inadvertently driving the world to renewables.
What’s next? He somehow tries to take Greenland and ends up ridding the world of micro plastics?
Just stumbled on this in search. I have high hopes for a place like this.
My hobbies and side projects are usually based on dreaming up stuff based on the notion that my half-assed knowledge on things might help me think outside the box.
Sometimes it works, sometimes I find out why it can’t be done the hard way. It’s the journey for me.
Because they are one of the few mega companies that hasn’t shrinkflated, enshittified, or otherwise crumbled the quality of their offering. Haven’t sold out the privacy of their customer base to advertising companies, and are generally good to deal with for customers and developers.
It’s not a secret formula that no other company can learn from. It’s as simple as not being dicks IMO.
For some reason, most companies seem to grow too a certain threshold at which they sell their souls to profit and will self destruct to get more of it. Steam thankfully isn’t one of them…… yet.
I’m kinda sad we used “Stupidgate” the last time he was impeached multiple times. This kinda relates to gatekeeping and is muchly stupider.
I guess you are right. The staggering thing for me is the shear apathy required to do what they are doing. It’s revolting and frankly terrifying, but fascinating.
There is a yet to be diagnosed mental illness involved here, for so many people to so callously trumpet and parade toward things that actively and directly hurt them as well, just to prove some imaginary point.
It’s like psychopathy mixed with a side of Stockholm flavoured bias soup.
I mean. You have to give it to them. They are really going all in on destroying anything that actually made America great.
I’m not sure if that was the original goal, or even the intent now, but even with how terrible this news is, if the goal is to systematically dismantle a country, these guys are very very good at it.
The only way this flies this long is that the whole lot of them are corrupt. The investors, the platforms, the regulators, the banks. All of them.
Someone needs to start sleuthing to document all those who are even potentially involved, what they are supposed to do, what they aren’t doing and submit the lot of it to the FB… …
Oh right, never mind…
I disagree. Not in the sense that you are wrong. The similarities to previous grave mistakes is often stunning.
My own personal thoughts are that even though the similarities are there to other historical blunders, the sheer scale and depth of pure stupidity and gross incompetence on full display right now for all the world to see is so mind numbingly unprecedented on so many levels that it shouldn’t be referred to as anything other than a brand new low.
It’s like referring to anything else somehow makes it seem less bad. Even though past conflicts were devastating.
Dude is a legend. A reminder of how the FBI was and should be. If only the core US systems had more like him, maybe this shit show wouldn’t have gone so far
Only if the “D” stands for Dumbassery.
I’d love to see the stats on searches for systemd alternatives when this news dropped. I thought about it as I myself was searching to replace arch with arctix or void.
I personally like systemd for certain things and have grown lazy with how easy most things are with it, but I would go through the pain to switch.
Any distro that bows to this type of overreach will not be apart of my stack. Hilariously pointless or not.
Don’t forget social status!
Except that they didn’t buy in when they should have, which allowed smaller companies to get a head start on the tech, the rights, the advertising. Not instead of admitting they were wrong, they would rather double down, gaslight, lobby Andy try to disenfranchise competition because that always worked for them before.
The only thing that will always out-rank corporate intelligence is greed. They seem to like doing awfully stupid things if the profit line in the chart in the boardroom is green and curls upward on the right.
I read somewhere a while back that the main cause of all these seemingly obvious and mind numbingly dumb corporate decisions isn’t as much a problem with companies not knowing the information, but that they collectively changed their goals, projections and outlook to a much shorter time period.
So, yeah, maybe short circuiting your business model will double your profits within 6 months, but after that you eat quadruple in losses. It all depends on the length of time scale at the bottom of the chart.
Suddenly, so many crazy things I have read and experienced in the corporate world seemed to make so much more sense.
That and his old Epstein co-conspirator Netanyahu got his cronies to whisper sweet nothings into his ear about how it would be easy and he would be a hero.
He didn’t come up with any of this himself. That’s why there is no plan. The whole plan was supposed to be:
Cut the head off the snake -> build golf courses.
I saw ads for this game on FB that were so over hyped it gave me the ick.
Generally speaking, if you are getting an ad for a game on any platform not specifically designed for games, not search for my you, or not owned by the gaming company itself, be very sceptical.
If they are blowing budget on widespread fancy ads, chances are they are doing a bait and switch.
At least that’s my take.
From that height? That would be a poopedo, or maybe a turd missle?
Where does the poop go?
Well. It makes more sense to me now. Not the Israel part, I’ll never figure out why any remotely civilized society would side with them on anything, but at least the Iran thing is just greedy capitalistic corruption.
That’s something we are all used to.
Podman is the way.
