What about basketball?

Why is he still in office instead of in prison?

That red text on a blue background is atrocious.

JavaScript is used on virtually every website on the planet today though. BASIC hasn’t been used for anything in like 40 years.

Why would an internship train you on an antiquated language that hasn’t been used in decades?

You’re so greedy for not letting me steal your pension.

Google tells lots of lies. They’re no longer a trustworthy company. Actually, they’re explicitly an untrustworthy company.

RCS features just completely stopped working for me one day. I can see people are typing or if they saw my message, but that’s it. I cannot reply to a specific message anymore, and a couple other things are broken too. I’ve signed in and out, cleared the app cache, and even did a hardware reset. Nope! I just doesn’t work anymore. It also won’t let me receive messages from a specific group chat. I can message the people individually, I can participate in other group chats, but a group chat with those two people refuses to work. It’s far from a perfected program.

It’s not a joke. I had similar dreams when I was learning object oriented programming. When you really understand OOP, you see just how accurately it represents the structure of things. It’s pretty brilliant.

Musk himself said there are way more bots than he thought when he was trying to weasel out of buying the site. That was before AI that could solve recaptchas, and respond like a human. Imagine how many bots there are now.

What does he care if a bunch of people that he thinks are losers hate him? He’s sitting on his private yacht, anchored just off his private country club, and eating lobster in the hot tub. He’s a major world player now. He doesn’t give a fuck what reddit users think of him.

What do you think he would learn? He got like $190 million dollars in compensation last year, broke the protest, and only lost a small fraction of users. He doesn’t view the site with the same love that we did. It’s just a business to him, and he’s just a soulless executive.

Spez and his executives do resent the users. He’s on record making statements which make it clear that he sees the user’s resistance to monetization as a roadblock between him and his money. The fact that people built all of the content on the entire site for free, doesn’t matter to him. He actively hates them for not behaving in a way that gets him more money.

And AI. AI is a wet dream to a company like Reddit, Facebook, or Twitter. They can keep the appearance of an active and popular site indefinitely, stealing money from advertisers years before they catch on.

Very well said, and it was the trust violation which finally pushed me off of Facebook and Reddit. Reddit as we know it is dead, it’s obvious to anyone who used to use it. But AI is here, and it’s going to continue pumping semi-believable posts and replies for years, making it look as if the site is still booming. But the posts are vapid, devoid of soul, and almost always written with an ulterior motive to sell something or some idea. The Dead Internet is here.

This is a criminal act of neglect.

Subpar how? That statement definitely doesn’t reflect my own experience.

Linux does allow for extensive customization, way more than Wondows or Mac. They just don’t hold your hand to show you how.

It is a good thing for those of us who don’t want bumper rails on our OS.
