Loops became Open Source!

Reply in thread

The Loops app certainly feels like it. Not to diminish a solo dev doing something on his own, but it just seems like a standard video player with like, comment, follow. Search feature is only by user; when you type a comment, it doesn't wrap the text, it just moves horizontally until you post it. I think the feed is literally just a chronological list of every video posted, and for some reason, most of the videos I see on it are just like...atmospheric videos. Still camera, nature background, rain in someone's backyard. People love the concept, but I don't see how it's anywhere near ready to compete for users like other options are right now.

Vance tells Musk that DOGE staffer who resigned after posting racist tweets should be rehired

In the same breath, they refer to him as a kid making a mistake, to appeal to us. We've all been in somewhat similar situations, making mistakes as kids. And then seconds later, he's a highly trained professional who is well-equipped to manage poring through Treasury docs and deciding where funding is sent or ceased.

What is he? Is he a kid or is he an adult? Be consistent. Fuck everything about this.

Tesla investors furious at stock’s plunge turn tables on CEO Elon Musk

Reply in thread

There is some kind of shady deal going on, I bet. 0 reason why Tesla is worth more than like the next 12 biggest auto makers combined. The argument previously is that they're a tech company with FSD, but that has become increasingly untrue as the years, missed targets, failed upgrades, and lack of implementation continue to pile up. Add-on Cyber Truck failures and Musk basically abandoning Tesla to play Govt Undertaker, and the company itself looks worse positioned than at any point in time.

How about them eggs?

Don't forget deport immigrants (arguably increasing food costs). BIL sent me an article about 400+ illegals getting deported Tuesday night or something. Weird, I thought there were hundreds of thousands of them. They could only get that many? "The majority were criminals" Aight, cool. Keep those resources going and start processing the years and years of rape kits left waiting for testing. Start getting those citizens too, champ. Or are we only after the brown criminals? Hmm....

Trump Thinks He Has a Mandate to Break the Law

Reply in thread

Meanwhile, anyone who has previously opposed him has stepped down or stepped away from their roles in basically full and utter shame after accomplishing nothing. Years of bluster and screaming about smoking guns, all swept away because they wouldn't do anything. They wanted their role and positions of power, and when it mattered, retreated to be nothing more than a cowardly footnote soon to be deleted from history by the current regime.

A fired federal worker grapples with her vote for Trump in Michigan

It's deeper than the job; she voted also based on the promise that IVF would be free. Yet another promise that Apricot Asshole is likely to walk back. After all, the govt is downsizing; what grounds do they have for making specific kinds of Healthcare free? Who is going to oversee those cases?

It's stupidity in the highest degree. How is he going to make an incredibly expensive procedure free while getting rid of any teeth the govt has in oversight and reducing medical coverage across the board?

God I hope they don't flood Lemmy

I'd imagine they don't, because we're likely lumped in with Bluesky. And if some do make it here, they normally get reported on main instances, and their instances would unlikely remain federated for long.

I guess they're getting mad about arguing with themselves and are looking for the traditional captive audience they thought they had.

And here we see the decline of modern western civilization. What kind of world are we living in when someone won't Google clearly traumatic shit due to peer pressure of not understanding a reference?

All hope is lost.
