Gates could probably walk into most offices and get a free coffee and an impromptu meeting with the CEO if he wants to.

Imagine applying to work on the youtube team because you enjoy watching videos and then you are expected to make it worse for everyone including yourself.

i can see myself at the event, but not in Vegas.

Honestly, i don’t know, but setting up some website that’s vaguely similar to reddit, is not that hard. (Building a community and maintaining tech and community is harder.) Thus, there are probably tons of reddit-like places, some bigger, some smaller.

Before reddit and facebook, there were forums (like bb boards). Some have survived (in niches). Some communities have huge Facebook groups, used with fake accounts for shitposting. Some people use twitter/bluesky/mastodon as a reddit substite.

I guess that Instagram and TikTok have most of the market in many countries. People won’t tell you how much time they spend on tiktok, but they still do.

15€. I was shocked when it went above 10.

Israel or Meta or both?

What’s the reputation of the linked site? Are there other sources?

Sure, this sounds plausible, but you want credible sources and mainstream media attention.

Zuck seems to care what Trump wants.

They are suspiciously labelled vegetarian, not vegan. And contain: beeswax

Yeah. That’s me. Or anyone I know, really. Sure cities are back to pre-pandemic chaos, but those are other people.

I choose to work from the office on most days. I use public transit. I go to the gym. I’m not locked in, but …

• after-work drinks
• meetups
• catch up with a friend at the pub
• date night
• clubs
• partys

That’s a distant past. And i don’t miss it, really.

Ok, I do miss socializing, the good parts: Crack some jokes, have some small-talk, feel part oof a group of friends.

But i don’t miss it enough to endure that bad parts: Forcing oneselves into conversations with strangers, “networking”, drinking a beer alone in a corner of some event, going out to bar where over your overpriced drink you’ll accept that you’d rather be in your living room. Bars and night clubs are a weird concept (unless you are in your twenties and really enjoy the scene): You realistically only talk the person you came with, but they can’t hear what your are saying since it’s loud and crowded. There may be music, but unless you came to dance, you probably have a Spotify play list you’ll enjoy more. In better quality.

What marketing genius uses a mouse upside down.

Good to know

What? I need syncthing-android, where is it going?

Yes, i though this, too, but usually companies address this by issueing vouchers that can be only be used for certain businesses or products. This makes sure, the expense shows up as food on the invoice. Nobody cares if employees find a loophole to buy non-food. The company issued food vouchers. That will do.

And shit-ass is what you have to deal with when babies become teenagers?

And poop butt is good? This poop-butt device mows the lawn in seconds. ???

The bots faking real users’ streaming to gain profit is the questionable part. AI generated cheap content (created en masse for profit) will be the norm soon. If you think about it, quality content is already the exception.

The only reason trains are not self-driving is humans designed the whole system in a too complicated way. Trains had all the ingredients for safe self-driving for decades.

Yes, but it feels longer with all the traffic jams.
