Yes, the whole thing is especially frustrating because the app was quite nice. Harriette did a really good job really quickly.

I think governmental organizations should do the same. It’s absurd that FEMA or whoever essentially has to rely of Elon’s goodwill.
Palm Pilots seemed so futuristic back then.
You’re correct of course. How could I have forgotten?
Personally I think it’s just the usual incoherent right-wing worldview. Their concept of “the government” somehow doesn’t include the president, the military, or law enforcement.
Yes, the name of the company, the logo, and the idea of “tweets” are all a charming evocation of a world filled with brief messages. Twitter has problems, but branding isn’t one of them.
I think we are in the midst of a worldwide epidemic of mental illness, and even the wealthiest and most powerful are not immune.
I’m just glad we have an adult at the helm and I don’t have to wake up the next morning to see what bat shit insane thing has just happened.
Exactly. For four years, practically every fucking day it was, “Oh God, what’s he done now?”
I haven’t had live TV in years and it’s quite shocking to see what the average user deals with. Junk TV + ads that play 30% of the time is absolutely insane.
Yeah, I’ve had the same experience. We don’t have live TV, and when we occasionally hang out with friends or family who do I’m always flabbergasted at the frequency and length of ad breaks nowadays, and similarly amazed that despite a nearly endless list of channels there never seems to be anything I actively want to watch.

Personally I suspect that a significant amount of the negativity on Reddit really was was organized by state actors in order to sow division. The constant ageism, for instance, always struck me as suspect. Someone would inevitably bring up how awful boomers were no matter how irrelevant it was to the discussion.
Unfortunately, that’s how it is. The last time I served on a jury we all got free donuts, because a juror on another case earlier in the day had brought in donuts for the court, and the judge and bailiffs weren’t allowed to accept them.
Yeah, 10 or 15 years ago I read an article about how Google brings up new storage modules when they need to expand, and their modules are essentially shipping containers full of hard drives.
Yeah, I’m old enough to have grown up buying vinyl records. I want to buy a physical copy of the music I like.
The idea of depending on a streaming service to keep something available has always mades me uncomfortable, and given the recent removal of content from some of the studios’ services, it looks like my gut feeling was correct.
They don’t really think that. They just want to muddy the waters. Anything that makes actual discussion of issues more difficult is a win for them.
I agree with you that high karma doesn’t indicate anything besides popularity, but someone with negative karma is almost certainly either a troll or a political extremist of some sort. I do find it useful to know when I would be better off not engaging with people like that.
Individual users having some sort of reputation is useful. I always thought it was handy on Reddit to be able to distinguish people I happened to disagree with from actual trolls. The latter always had pretty high negative karma scores, and it was good to know that there was no point in engaging with them.
Life always finds a way.
Are you sure? Even if it’s true, I like the life forms we’ve got right now an awful lot, and they don’t deserve what we’re doing to them.
And why is the area code of Apple’s phone number in single quotes?
