I claim that I am now a millionaire.

Doesn’t make it true though…

Ah yes, fire 1,800 employees that bring value to the company. Definitely don’t fire the brain dead, overpaid executives that destroyed the companies credibility with a terrible monetization scheme.

WB execs are currently in the #1 position on the list of dumbest motherfuckers of 2024. And boy are they setting the bar REALLY high.

Honestly that’s more fucking money than they deserve. They spend more time bickering than working it seems.

Well, nobody has ever accused her of being smart…so this makes a lot of sense.

To combat spam and blatant fuckery, absolutely. Openly hateful places have no business on the general internet.

But anything else is better left to user discretion IMO.

At one point in my job I was effectively the translator between English speaking Indian software devs, and American project managers. If I can translate technical information into something understandable to a PM, and vague program specs into actionable technical requirements for the devs I think we’d actually be alright with the aliens.

A shitty economy that has forced people into paying more for less while corporations lie about the reason for inflation and rightfully soured everyday Americans view of the economy.

The value of the stock market and homes increasing does fuck all for people getting screwed at the grocery store.

I’m fortunate enough to get to benefit from both of those things, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to pretend the economy is great now because theoretical net worth has gone up.

Guess I’ll just start downloading that content too because I’m not paying you more for the same shit. I’d get rid of it altogether if it wasn’t just included as part of prime in general.

Spez killed third party apps so he could track people and sell ads. First party apps were bad and getting worse. And the whole way it went down was just dishonest and shitty. I don’t wanna support that.

I also really enjoyed being able to see new content AND comment on it/interact with the community. That was the reason Reddit was cool to me. If I didn’t channel that energy towards something else I’d have ended up back on Reddit.

And the cherry on top, I love the idea of decentralized social networks. It’s better for the internet.

Limiting micro transactions and banning predatory reward schemes in video games is genuinely a good thing. We need this to spread around the world.

I was using that same docker image for a while but somewhat recently migrated to this: https://github.com/favonia/cloudflare-ddns

It handles 5 of my domains all from the single container. Highly recommend it!

The concept of trickle down economics. Anyone with a functioning brain can tell you that it would never work. But somehow people as a whole in the US still think giving corporations and rich cunts extra money, and tax breaks somehow lead to the 99% reaping a benefit.

It has never been true because the basic function of capitalism is to get as much money as possible, while spending the least amount of money to do it. There’s no room for passing on the extra profits to your employees, clients, or vendors.

I mean…technically the suicide was prevented.

If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck then it must be a duck.

You underestimate people’s ability to dismiss pop ups and notifications without retaining any of the information in them.

I expect nothing less. And even if they do make the software stable and usable it will be quickly ruined by micro transactions and subscriptions for basic functionality.

Trash software from a trash company.

How many non-tech people actually know about this? And how many of that small percentage are actually going to toss their computer as a result of it?

Because for the average computer user, they will never wonder why there are no more updates. And as long as their computer still browses the internet they don’t care even if you notify them.

Microsoft tried for years to get people off of fucking internet explorer and barely succeeded.

Now he’s not just morally bankrupt, but legally too.

Johnny Craig, the former lead singer for the band Dance Gavin Dance. Dude has repeatedly fucked up and ripped off fans, but damn did he have a great singing voice.

And for the opposite, T-Pain and Post Malone. Both of them just seem like the coolest, and most chill people but their studio music is just not for me.
