Advertising hasn't been that psychological since cable TV. These days, almost no work is put into advertising creatives. The goal is simply to spam and inundate you with messaging so the product is in your mind at all times. People have incredibly short attention spans thanks to smart phones so advertisements need to be virtually instantaneous in delivering their message.

Its really all about statistics these days. Very little thought or effort is put into advertisements.

He endorsed the republican party. He said we should clean house of democrats. Is that not declaring party loyalty? It was also a completely unnecessary comment, in response to nothing. It was shortly after Trump's election when every CEO went out of their way to kowtow to the new regime. Its transparently a loyalty pledge to the new boss

I fucking hate touch screens personally, and will always prefer a good physical keyboard. Don't like mobile OSs either

I can feel myself hopping off the tech train. Like when I was younger I was "the computer kid", but I don't find myself giving a shit about new technology like LLMs or even new smartphones.

Academia is a universe unlike anything else in the world. Academics will not prepare you for a job in the real world; it will prepare you to climb the academic ladder

Tell me why I'm wrong

Calling this an "us vs them" is disingenuous. Republicans are actively shredding the rule of law in the US by the day. Democrats are weak on some policy points (though not tech policy, by the way). The two are not the same at all

If a person signals loyalty to a criminal government which is violating the rights of its people daily, why would I trust them not to cooperate with that government when they ask for a backdoor to be installed? Conservatives are simply not trustworthy. They're lying, backstabbing, and manipulative. They have no principles at all and will say or do anything to acquire more power and money

Name some policies of Adolf Hitler that you support

The statement he out out was literally pro-republican. He said the Republicans are better on tech policy than democrats, which is straight up retarded

People aren't criticizing him because he criticized the democrats. Liberals and leftists are pretty unhappy with the DNC right now, too. Anybody can criticize the democrats all day if they want, thats not forbidden.

They're criticizing him because the things he said are actually fucking braindead retarded.

He said Republicans are better on tech policy than democrats. Republicans tech policy is motivated entirely by the fact that their racist and conspiratorial views were getting them banned on social media sites from 2015 - 2024

Conservatives have absolutely zero principles. If they say they want to break up big tech, it's because they want to control it in some way. They want the platforms to promote speech that's beneficial to them.

If you believe that Republicans truly are better for tech policy than democrats, then you either whole-heartedly agree that a group of criminals and wannabe dictators should be able to destroy any business that publishes speech against them, or you are extremely gullible. Either way, why would I want to give you my business?

It's not a purity test so much as a fear that publicly signaling loyalty to trump devalued their trustworthiness as private and secure. If their CEO legitimately believes that Republicans are better on tech policy than democrats because conservatives want to weaponize the federal government to control speech online, then I don't really trust him not to cooperate with federal authorities when they want to access someone's emails or vpn traffic. Conservatives are simply not trustworthy to me

I moves to proton because I was paying for a vpn, storage, and password manager and it all came out to like ~$45/mo. Proton gives me all that for $30/mo. This was the 3rd password manager I had my family migrate to so I think I'm gonna stick with them for a bit unless I see some kind of evidence that proton is violating the security of its users for governments. I don't want to have my family have to move to yet ANOTHER password manager

Also, why invest in moving your entire manufacturing side to the US when you can be reasonably sure that the tariff fad will be over in 4 years at minimum, 10 years max?

They were copy pasting most of the boilerplate before

Michelle Rodriguez wouldn't have a career without this woman

If he destroys the DoE, tuition rates will fall because there's no more student loans and universities will have to compete on price

I'll tell you what I'd do, man...

The future is even more bleak. Touch screens only, no desktops. Only tablets everywhere. Everything on the cloud, everything locked down. Sideloading is banned, jailbreaking illegal. Everything runs on iOS or Android. Gen A will love it
