Seems like a nice idea but I’m gonna place a bet here and say that this will be heavily gamefied by those fake Elon Musk streams trying to sell crypto or something similar.

This could also be exploited by those who use info stealers to hijack browser sessions and hype fraudulent streams.

I just wish we could also sort the leaderboard by category. I have no interest in gossip or drama.

Yeah, this left a bad taste.

At least he revoked this section of the decision a couple hours later.

You’re right but IMO that part of the article that you highlighted should be the news, not the “we should make Musk do something”.

Musk is a billionaire that thrives on attention so any form of headline that cites his name is playing his game.

Twitter is a company with investors. They should be accountable to what happens in their domain. And not by having their wrist slapped because – for the nth time – something bad happened. Media should be saying by now that Twitter is a bad place. Like they did with other social networks before.

I’m not sure if Twitter has “responsibilities” to begin with. It has what we - as a society - give it the legitimacy to have.

I genuinely don’t know. Their name was just the first one that came to my mind.

Why are we suddenly selling more NAS grade HDDs?

Since I’ve adopted PowerToys -> PowerToys Run and set a shortcut to open it with “Super (windows key) + Space” I don’t know what a start menu is.

If you take a look into the fitness bubble on YouTube you will see military propaganda too. They’re often competing against real soldiers/SEALS/whatever to demonstrate how well prepared they’re are in the case of war. Back in the subject of engineering, William Osman was also sponsored by the Navy (I think) one time.

Sharing video is such a big problem that even Google couldn’t solve it when it was their time. They just bought their biggest competitor when their own platform didn’t get traction. And then operated at a loss for years and years.

I’d love to see descentralized video platforms as the next guy but there are serious barriers that come with the medium

And they’re still ranking #1 on the Comments per Day category with just 15k comments. I’d imagine they’re way bigger than that

Interestingly those people were (probably) also alive before smartphones were a thing.

A better frontend, basically.

It guaranteed chronological timeline and multiple columns.

But what if someone else makes a bot not to answer things but to rate randomly if an answer is constructive or not?

I bought mine during lockdown and still not encountered this issue but this is good info!

+1 for the Epson Ecotank.

The ink bottles are cheaper than cartridges and it’s basically “dumb”. There’s no DRM that prevents you from squirting any generic type of ink in there.

I did not test it on older hardware but mine is WiFi enabled and it works seamlessly on every device.

It’s not a perfect solution but it’s a good middle ground for me.

Facebook (the page) is dead in the sense that its parent company changed their name to not be the same as their (once powerhouse) product. Facebook trademark is so unbelievably cursed due to what it became that they’re pretending that it does not exist.

Meta is focusing on Instagram for now. They could’ve launched Threads within Facebook (I think it was at some point) but they choose not to. Instagram is how they reach out to the people.

This means that Facebook was enshittified successfully. It does not serve any purpose now.

I don’t think Reddit has the same choice as they don’t really have means to pivot to something else. It will just cease to be… Or not.

The real question is: is there more money to be made in the near future by reversing climate change or by selling solutions for those who have to deal with a broken climate?
