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.

He looks like Jim Carrey in The Mask after a kid need with the colors on the TV.

My guess would be the PSU as well. It could be dead, or not plugged in right, or underpowered. Pulling out the GPU is a great idea. At least if it boots that provides some direction.

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 Help me update infinite plans that will be outdated in a week.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.

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.

Messages went from $.05, to $.10, to $.20 to send and receive. That was in the span of three years. All of the companies said it wasn’t collision. They just happened to arrive upon massive increases separately.

If I recall, one of the CEOs said “We’re raising the prices to save customers money. This way they’ll be an unlimited plan”

The telcos should have been broken up then. Instead we’ve seen even more mergers.

• Edit: forgot to include the years. This was in the U.S. circa 2005-2008. Telcos have moved onto other sleezy practices now.*

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.

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.

I see your point, but Forbes methodology for verification isn’t flawless.

If the 4.8 billion dollar value is based on truth social, that number is crashing. If it’s based on his other assets, I don’t have much faith in that value either.

To say Trump exaggerates about the value of his assets would be an understatement. He makes up huge numbers that are nowhere close to reality. The big numbers are used to his advantage when it suits him, and much smaller numbers are reported to the IRS.

A quick search on golf courses came up with this story, though there are many more.

The point is, his actual net worth is a bit of a mystery. If the truth came out, I very much doubt it would be anywhere close to 4.8 billion.

Wow, just looked that up, and people are spending ~11% of their income on groceries. I was just saying that groceries have gone from a part of my budget that I don’t really think about, to the #2 expense, behind my mortgage.

Outside of not allowing mergers for large companies, I would like stronger restrictions on deceptive packaging/marketing. Off the top of my head, shrinkflation items should be required to have a big ugly warning on the label.

"In any angry mob, there are leaders and there are followers. Mr. Johnatakis was a leader. He knew what he was doing that day. On January 5, he posted on social media: “[B]urn the city down. What the British did to DC will be nothing . . .”

This guy is a real piece of shit. 7 years for leading an attempted coup is a joke. This moron doesn’t regret what he did. He regrets that it didn’t succeed.
