I was trying to find active users since he took over. But the only numbers I can find are numbers provided by Musk, who is a well known liar.

I know Lemmy and Mastodon are niche communities, and that people put up with a lot of garbage from Big Tech, but I have to believe that a lot of users have left Twitter, or least that usage is down. I also assume bots are way up, because Musk wants his numbers to be up regardless of the source (save for people with an opposing opinion).

Hopefully Musk’s shitty little empire crumbles…soon.

So, this guy had a gun on him, and saw someone else with a gun… And thought person with a gun, danger!?

What an asshole.

A speeding ticket for like .0000000000001% of your daily income.

How about banning them entirely.

I have a friend who bought one 6 years ago. He paid like $6k for the feature and recently traded in for a new one because he could keep the self driving license for free.

He says it never really worked that week and is worse on the new vehicle because cheapskate switched from lidar to cameras to save money. Also, he has 3 of 5 “strikes” toward a ban, because your need to keep you have on the wheel and eyes on the road. That’s right, a creepy camera watches you. He says at least 2 are false positives.

Not exactly “Full self driving,” and Tesla doesn’t exactly look like they’ve been working on it

I have no idea why people still buy anything from Musk.

That’s what I don’t understand. Don’t like Biden? I get that. Undying loyalty to Trump? What? Why? Just listen to him speak. He’s an incoherent idiot.

“Are you don’t yet? Why aren’t you done yet? Help me update infinite plans that will be outdated in a week. Also, I just promised a bunch of stuff… all that stuff we already promised, I think you can do that faster.”

When I was a dev, I once had a PM with no technical skills that decided he would “learn to program to help catch us up”… He did not succeed.

Biden has done much better than I would have guessed, especially considering how fucked everything was when he took office. He’s not a star candidate and I have plenty of criticism, but Biden has done infinitely better than the last 5 Republican presidents.

That said, even if I thought Biden was amazing, he’s basically a walking ghoul at this point. The president (and supreme court justices) should be sharp, at the peak of their game, not in their last dwindling years. I’ll still vote Biden, because the alternative is one of the dumbest and biggest pieces of shit in American history. Maybe some day we’ll have better choices.

Jesus. Why can’t they make whistle blowers anonymous?

I have a malamute, so similar antics. It’s cute- except at 6am for breakfast… and two hours before dinner time…and when it’s time for a walk even when it’s -10 outside.

Not for everyone. But I wouldn’t trade it.

I mean, the rich probably benefit either way… But I’ve definitely seen times get scarier for the rest of us. So…I care.

I didn’t count handhelds. Seems like a different-ish market. Interestingly, I thought the game gear was way better than original game boy… Except it absolutely ate batteries.

I’ve never heard of the N64 DD. The 90’s had so many weird consoles.

Seconded.

Dreamcast was solid. Decent games. Sega just had their collective heads up their assess. No one had confidence in their consoles. Genesis was a surprise smash hit…then Sega just spewed out consoles; 32x, Sega CD, mega drive, Saturn… Probably more. In that same time span Nintendo released…N64.

No one wants to buy a console that is outdated in a year or two. That game library is tiny and none of your friends have it.

Build a winner, milk it. Release another winner right as the previous one is winding down. Nintendo has mastered that formula.

(not) > allowing mergers of companies that are already large enough to be publicly traded at all>

That’s a great way of putting it. I’ve said that once you own X market share or produce X revenue, mergers should not be allowed. No innovation or competition comes from letting giant companies devour their rivals. I like your line in the sand better.

Well that’s terrifying… I might watch the show if it ever comes out

Not sure what changes, but it’s scary how much Google controls. Even if we just broke off YouTube from them, that would be a big deal.

Ideally we would split their search engine, YouTube, and chrome each into two competing companies. (Google A, Google B, Chrome A, Chrome B, YouTube A, YouTube B)

Because Google has so much power they can make changes that will break search results, websites, and browsers if you don’t accept changes that are beneficial to them.

The 2020 incident? Texas failed because they didn’t properly winterize their infrastructure. Not because they were using green energy. It was almost entirely gas that failed.

Also there are a number of ways to store and transfer energy.

The real issue in Texas was unregulated capitalism. Energy prices skyrocketed like 6000% at the time, because they could get away with it.

I live in Minnesota and those idiots are charging me for their lack of preparation.

Thanks for the great write up. I’ll take a look at these. I’ve read a few reviews about keychrons having defective keys, etc. Any issues there?

That’s where I was leaning towards, but I haven’t ever used one.

I was just talking about this. The amount I spend on groceries for a small family is insane. It has doubled in less than five years. My income has not.

Because this asshat isn’t a journalist. He makes shit up and spins it how he’s paid to. He has zero morals, zero integrity, and is less reputable than the boy who cried wolf.

There’s been plenty of leaks of him flat out lying on Fox. Combine that with Putin also being a lying psycho, and there’s really no good or truth that can come from this interview. Only propaganda and misinformation.
