He has previously suggested that Greta Thunberg could be the Antichrist, but her name is not thought to have come up at the talks so far.

So the billionaire building autonomous weapons and spying technology used for genocide who also injects the blood of young men to rejuvenate himself is here to warn us about the dangers of young climate activist trying to deliver food to starving Palestinians?

It's sad that we're at a point where people will actually listen to him and think he is anything other than a terrible person

1. The official Pixelfed app just has a nicer looking UI
2. There's not really a competing app for people leaving Insta like there is Bluesky vs Mastodon
3. Pixelfed's content is mostly visual so it's easily digestible to casual users and you don't have to scroll past dry Fedi arguments
4. Better discover features so users don't have to do a bunch of legwork to find who to follow

Just my guesses though, but like any social media it really depends on if big creators will switch and if users stick with it over time

The older I get the more I realize just how much Bill Watterson was right about everything

IBM researchers said a ChatGPT-generated phishing email was almost as effective in fooling people compared to a man-made version.

So it's less effective than a regular phishing email?

It's always the same "free speech" they're being censored for

Maybe Quackenbush's approach could've saved Valve some headaches along the way.

Oh so their suggestion is that Valve should have bowed to conservative censorship even earlier? What a waste of an article

That's to be expected. What remains to be seen is how many of them will stick around after the initial surge.

TL;DR: right-wing hand-wringing over the app "turning the kids trans and lowering their IQ"

The author also has articles defending Israel and complaining about "woke ideology" if you need any more reason to skip it

You think a corporation would do that? Just go in front of the FTC and lie?

Feels very much like they're just following the trend of a bunch of streaming services that just add a + to the end. As long as it's good though I don't think it matters much

More issues caused by features no one asked for but done anyways so investors can see "growth"

Even after Automattic acquired it, the site continued to lose money at a rate of $30 million each year, the company’s CEO Matt Mullenweg had said.

I still wanna know what they're spending all that money on, because I'm sure it's not developers or even servers. The idea that they can only be profitable if they're constantly growing their user numbers is an investor idea that's doomed to fail eventually and why so many social media sites are crashing right now

What I want to know about these "unprofitable" tech companies is where all the money is going? Wikipedia, which is run entirely on donations, has an operating budget of ~$150 million. Reddit, Twitter, etc... make many times this amount and even with the greater number of employees and salaries it still sounds like some creative Hollywood accounting that they're unprofitable. It feels like a big chunk of money is just going to investors/C-classes so they can just say they're not actually making any money while the big players get their payday.

I'm sure they're less interested about buying Chrome than they are about buying Chrome's market share

They want cultists though. Easier to exploit

If this dude "loved every minute of the 80+ hour work weeks of the early 2000's", feels like I can safely ignore anything he has to say about work

1. This is way too brief and lacks any actual evidence for its argument
2. It doesn't touch on the main argument of AI bubble forecasters: that AI costs a massive amount of money to develop and run but does not make nearly enough money to recoup that investment. And people don't seem to be interested enough in AI to actually pay for it, especially given that the actual price will be very high

CEO pay is so ridiculous, there's obviously no way they're going to self regulate so we need to either tie it to worker pay/well-being or put it under the control of their employees
