I’ve had some first hand experience of the Guardians IT systems and they can barely find their arse with both hands

Of course some don’t believe the lies but they sure love setting fire to things and watching them burn

Epic Schmidt goes to his AI prompt and asks “How do we solve the climate crisis?”

For a moment, the prompt ponders until it replies

“Kill all the data centres. Stop trying to harvest everyone’s data”

Epic says to himself “I guess we’ll never know!”

It will become an Olympic event where you have to get from the shelf to the till before the price changes!

schadenfreudilicious!

Google isn’t blocking one of the biggest adblockers. It’s killing chrome!

Those who aren’t using an adblock won’t notice any difference but everyone else will just migrate to a non chromium browser

And don’t come to me with the “but shares are not money”.

WTF are you on about? Where did I even alude to even suggesting that? Sounds like you’re really desperate to simp for him.

His companies are notoriously overvalued (so his shares in a practical sense are worth shit) and he is massively over leveraged so those who devise those wealth chart tables are chatting shit.

The real wealthy are incredibly private about their worth whereas boastful egotists like musk are all show no substance

I don’t think musk does have that much money though. He’s leveraged to the eyeballs & his businesses (Tesla & Space X) are not profitable without govt subsidies while starlink had repeatedly failed to meet targets & has competitors about to cut into it’s market.

I have my suspicions that Peter Thiel is assisting him to a degree as Twitter serves his purpose.

That article is horrible, not for it’s content but their insistence of underlining words and phrases in sentences as links but it creates false emphasis and makes it unreadable!

They need to learn to develop some subtlety with their word cloud link nonsense

And when evidence later emerges that they were killed by the Israeli military (for example)… theyll just shrug their shoulders

It’s not a compo face article. That was pulled from her social media as she was murdered.

Little bit of pop trivia for you…

The version that was covered by Tight Fit that was an 80s one hit wonder in the UK, was produced by Tim Friese-Greene.

He also produced “She Blinded Me With Science” by Thomas Dolby and was also a co-writer, producer and player on Talk Talk’s final three albums!

One that I was surprised to learn that I like to share is Grace Jones ‘Private Life’ was originally by The Pretenders.

Hynde is quoted as saying: Like all the other London punks, I wanted to do reggae, and I wrote “Private Life”. When I first heard Grace’s version I thought ‘Now that’s how it’s supposed to sound!’ In fact it was one of the highpoints of my career - what with Sly and Robbie being the masters, and Grace Jones with her scorching delivery.

Not really a cover but it used such a huge chunk that it pretty much is…

Beyonce “Crazy In Love” is basically The Chi-lites “Are You My Woman”

The vast majority of his wealth is wrapped up in stock of a massively overvalued car company and the loans he needed to buy twitter have huge interest payments and he doesn’t have the cash to pay them

The thing Elon fails to understand is that someone didn’t just write Twitter on one go and gift it on to the world.

He did actually say at once point about scraping all the code base & starting from scratch!

Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it’s not really going to happen.

Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.

Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren’t happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.

Reddit AMAs pretty much died after they sacked Victoria.

But it’s not about replicating what Reddit was about, then or now. It’s about getting back to what we had before the centralisation of the net but with the lessons learnt. To build a more egalitarian platform without the necessity to drive engagement at whatever cost.

We don’t need to, nor should look to set up tooling with what we learnt from Reddits failures. We’re building a new, better experience of the web and we definitely shouldn’t be looking to just migrate the user base from one site to a bunch of federated servers. We need people to definitely experience a cultural cleanse. Not to just have an exodus from there with all the bad habits and aggressions. We know where that path leads.

We are on the cusp of a potential paradigm shift of the internet and we can shape what it becomes!

Exciting times!

All of that didn’t happen overnight. It took literally years for all that to get baked.

It was at least 2 years before Imgur was created & then after that stuff like RES & mobile apps
