Aw i miss when website tracking was only “xxxx users have visited this page” and it was just a simple counter that counted up.

Unfortunately i think its becoming more a thing, so you have to be careful of future updates as some companies are realising they can put ads on your menu screen now

Happens in other countries too unfortunately, when you hear politicians say “stop buying avacado and toast” or “people are buying too many coffees” and they dont realise theyre talking about the above average income earners not the desperately poor.

Well yeah, but the problem is win 10 isn’t built from the ground up to be able to cater for ads inserted into your welcome bar, explorer bar, settings page, start menu and personalised ads … :( we live in the worse timeline dont we.

From what i understand, it actually is a name he came up with in the early 2000s and have tried pushing it before.

It came from a long time ago. See the power of people like Elon was being rich enough they could throw money at shit with little risk and also be rich enough to get smart people to do all the good shit.

But he was the face of it all for a long time, people legit saw him as the person who brought in electric cars (yeah i know he wasnt) and thinking space x is the rival to NASA.

Many people idolized him as a genius.

Then he ruined it, and you know why? Because he opend his fucking mouth just like the podcast you’re talking about and many people saw him for the idiot he was.

The problem? Elon himself believed the bullshit, he hinself thought he was a genius. And now hes trying to “run” things and its all falling to the ground. Because he never realized the only reason he had anything good was because of the actual smart people employed there.

Dont know about you, but i had to reset my phone and it fixed a lot of the issues i was having.

he sold out too early

I’m actually kind of interested in this point. Going public for many people is about the growth in the company. No one wants to put money in apple because its stocks are expensive. Its because they forsee it going up.

But i thibk youre right he sold out too early. Peope are willing to invest because of the potential outcome of selling api data to ai companies. People are interested to hear the potential financial increase of api prices making more profit. People may be interested of the potential change of nfts or whatever to drive more money.

But all of that has already happened, hes sold out all those items before the ipo. So i feel like a lot of people are like “what growth left is there?” And infact “is that growth negative going forward as users turn away or are hungry to jump ship if possible”

Who knows though what will happen, maybe im entirely wrong.

What pisses me off even more is if you start saving too much stuff in your documents/desktop etc you start getting emails from microsoft that your drive is full and you have to purchase more storage (because your harddrive is likely much bigger then your free drive account).

So I know quite a few elderly people who think they now need to pay money to unlock more memory on their computer to save more stuff.

Reminds me of Tay, the Microsoft chat bot that learned from Twitter and became racist in a day https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-chatbot-racist

It’s up to you, I haven’t touched the Linux community for a long time (only came back last week to fedora) so it may just be that I’m out of touch.

When I was younger though, the biggest reason to change was because I wanted something different. If I was purely looking for playing games and homework I’d stay with Windows because it does work great for that and there would be no point to change.

So the question is, what is it that grabs me onto Linux, and part of that is implied in your your graph, but part could be seen as these aspects.

In saying that, I do get your point too, and for beginners it may be the better recommendation. In fact I may just be the outliner now that I think about it lol and maybe people don’t try to set up Gentoo “just coz the community said it’s hard and I took that personally” lol so an honorable mention may be better.

You forgot “I want those cool socks” for arch Linux :P.

I think it’s also worth noting that not everyone’s coming to Linux for an easy time. Or essentially sometimes people are looking for the full experience like I did when I was younger. So it might be worth including path ways for those who want to compile everything themselves or even run so minimalist they essentially just using a terminal.

I feel like something big is coming soon too. My guess is a recession like that, but i don’t know the economy enough to know. But somehow, someway, all the corporate places are firing and all the grocery stores are adding security layers in my country (expecting more thefts due to a down trend of money?).

Just feels like somethings off and all the rich companies with economic analysis teams are already putting in their action plans.

To add to the other users comment about it not being strictly a tech tool. Many people are using it to keep track of their New Year Resolutions :D. 🎊 Happy New Year

Yeah even api and secret keys!

It’s a kanban board that atlassian a popular company that makes apps for developers bought out.

Not sure if you used a kanban board before but basically you put items that need to be done in columns with typical headers (can be changed) of “to do, doing, blocked, done”. So that one can keep track of work/goals etc.

There’s a lot of different views, many with some truths to it. I’ll try to give an answer but please take into account my answer is quite bias too.

The question, unlike the title of the article, the actual vote is on

whether the Constitution should be changed to include a recognition of the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

The problem is, how exactly or what exactly is an Aboriginal/Torres strait Islander voice. It’s not like Australia is voting to not give these groups voting rights like many articles seem to suggest.

It’s about what does this voice mean, do they have the power over government, can they stop laws, does it even help, whose even in it?

And there is no answer real answer, most answers I see are “it’s about creating a voice” or “we want to see Aus support before putting into action” etc (this may have changed later but that was the initial info I was getting), so you basically asked the Australian people to vote into changing the consitution on a potential something? Which for many feels like a permanent change or an unknown thing.

So all the no side had to do was be like “oh if you don’t know, then best to err on the safe side and vote no”. “Who knows what this could do”. “You can always wait and change it later”.

Imo the votes would have been very different if it instead just asked “would you like to see an Aboriginal / Torres strait Islander voice in government” and not touched the constitution. Or if they just made the voice/team/group and showed Aus how helpful it was before asking them to change the consitution.

And (I’m prob showing more bias here) if the yes side didn’t just call everyone racist who looked at the no vote (which I believe many are swing voters), it couldve provided enough time/listening to make changes to the argument that would change the voters. For example if they made it clear that it would just be used to support better decision making and help understanding etc. Though I can’t be too harsh when many of the no side arguments felt objectively like lies.

Yes, that’s why we should always call it out in all forms about how any person of authority can extort people and the importance in ensuring it doesn’t happen.
