Ugh, why are they quoting that blowhard David Gerard

The Reddit app and site are bloated bullshit. It’s an insult that they want you to use that. Lemmy with Voyager is the experience I like.

Reddit was killed by spez. RIP. Long live Lemmy! Hopefully it’s insulated from meddling by venture capital.

The problem is that this applies to news and information. People are listening to Joe Rogan, who doesn’t try to report the facts, not journalists.

Why the fuck is the media suppressing them?

This is all nice, but overall weak. American tech is on track to dominate the world. We need to step up the quality and incentives to make these services the defacto standard.

I think they were mostly just desperate for people who could do the job and wouldn’t quit within a month. I always got my work done, but I learned I’m not cut out for customer service.

Used to work a chain coffee shop. Had a closing shift by myself, but would randomly get slammed with large groups of people. On occasion when customers were rude to me while I was trying to do everything on my own, I just snapped and swore at them and gave them the finger. I thought I was going to get fired when word got back to my manager, but all I ever got were raises and eventually promoted to assistant manager.

The guy had the option to sell like $1 billion of his ownership stake in Twitter when Musk bought it, but instead left it in. He also supported the Musk takeover. Guy is a fool.

I would love to see a real comparison.

Who would use the Google ecosystem? Yuck. 🤮

Pure evil

Get ironfox?

Like chrome does something different?

Is this after it is banned or before it is banned? Either way, seems ridiculous

I guess I get it. They would not like to set precedent to allow non-consensual AI generated porn on the platform. Seems reasonable. That said, fuck Donny. The video is hilarious. It’s fine if Bluesky doesn’t host it though.

I think you’re missing that we are being deeply manipulated by hoards of foreign influence campaigns. Social media has exploded propaganda in the US and divided the population. Some of this propaganda also comes from internal sources.

Should be protesting the coup

The problem is these people solved some novel problem in the world with their programming skills and it made them really rich. They have been lavished with praise, money, and attention their entire lives. They think they’re smart and that gives them license to invite themselves into other areas that they have no experience in. An example is obviously Elon Musk wading in to government, but even back during Covid he was making predictions about the spread of the disease, even though he has no background in medical science. His predictions were wildly wrong. Marc Andreessen is no different, and it doesn’t help that he literally looks like a cone head.

I won’t lose sleep over it
