Meta gave 6 executives options worth up to $921M each, then cut 8,000 jobs after a record $56.3B quarter
If every employee earns 250k/y, thata 22k employees a year. Holy cow

Congress is getting ready to remove the requirement that shell companies register their real owners. This is a gift to Mexican cartels and Russian oligarchs.

JD Vance 'humiliated' by Iranian negotiators in stunning spectacle: 'Never looked weaker'
Except for Iran's reps not shaking hands I didn't really understand what was so humiliating. Doesn't seem to mention the points that "made it clear who's desperate and who's not"

During a talk at the Stanford Graduate School of Business in April, he said: “I say to everybody: ‘Move to California. Don’t leave.’ It’s the highest taxes in the world, but it’s OK.”

Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app
Reply in thread
Opinion: I think painting in Signal in such negative light is more harmful in the practical sense. Having fragmented messaging towards the public that does not care about many of these aspects just makes them a lot more hesitant to change, from my perspective.
We as a community should, in my opinion, pick a "good enough" solution for the majority of the people we interact with. That in itself is a market force to show interest and demand for private solutions. Most people I know don't have the tools or knowledge or time to understand nuances and all they'll hear are conflicting messages.
For us more technically inclined people: hell yeah, let's figure out the ideal model and bring it up to maturity so others can join when it's fleshed out. E.g. when lemmy came to my attention in the reddit 3rd party app fiasco, I was really confused on how to sign up and use it. And I'm no stranger to tech.

They don't use a personal laptop, and I've never heard of such thing for any company that has more than 10 employees. The security risk is huge

If you're asking in general and not as a way to feed AI: it writes a ton of text unnecessarily. Ever seen generated PR descriptions? They just basically quote the diff without adding any value
