Owlboy!

The pirate’s code Prime Directive is more what you’d call guidelines, than actual rules.

Hahaha! Finally! I’ve been trying to catch you boys all day!

I want to buy all your Star Trek movies.

I know what you are but what am I?

Exactly, they’re in the “growth” part of the business stage, where they get investors giving them money because of the explosion of user growth. In other words, the explosion of available eyes to put ads in front of. They’re literally investing based on the growth of the user base, which is tied to how much ad-buy can be involved.

They literally owe money to *checks notes… Blockchain Capital. A bunch of fucking cryptobros venture capital firm.

Enshittification is coming, people are stupid for falling for this again. I’m sick of fucking hearing about how all-volunteer created & funded Mastodon isn’t as slick as the fucking venture capital funded Bluesky. “It’s too hard to use!” Wah, go cry about it into a corporate teat some more, sucker.

Love it haha

The fact that they couldn’t figure it the fuck out and delete their accounts on the day that Musk bought Twitter is their own stupid fuck fault.

It’s been painfully obvious which way the wind was blowing with Musk well before he bought it.

The fact that they stayed there as it was painfully fucking clear that Musk was twisting the algorithms to his ends, banning people for saying “cis”, while allowing the most egregious racist bile to stand is all evidence that they cared way more about their social standing and followers than they did about human fucking decency.

I have no sympathy. Y’all helped him elect Trump by sticking around there you fucking nitwits. (“You” as in the prominent Democratic politicians only leaving Twitter now, not “you” as in fellow Lemmy users.) It’s pussy shit, they can’t actually flee the country, so instead they’re fleeing to another fucking corporate service based in the US. They don’t even have the strength to say no the corporate options. AOC ain’t on fuckin Mastodon.

EDIT: Working now! Article is up!

Every other page on Tom’s Hardware is loading for me just fine but this article is just pulling up a completely blank document?

A salient point and having lived through that period and remember how shithouse panicked everyone was about the anthrax attacks because of how quickly they followed 9/11 (just a week later), I can see there being a lot of impetus for them to find someone, anyone to pin it on so they could calm the US public and make them feel at ease.

Ask Bruce Ivins. (Or, well… you can’t…) Five people died from the 2001 anthrax attacks, but they could never find a perpetrator. The prominent people didn’t die, but they came close to being exposed.

Bruce Ivins was railroaded by Robert fucking Meuller no less until he committed suicide and years later it would be proven, without a shadow of a doubt I might add, that the facility Ivins worked in did not have the capability to produce anthrax as pure as that used in the attacks.

When it’s high profile, they will find someone to pin it on. It’s anyone’s guess if that person is the actual culprit or just someone that the cops thought they could pin it on.

If disagreement about strategy was the cause for Intel’s decline you’d have to ask yourself just how effective the board of the company is/was.

There’s also very little evidence that whatever Tan’s strategy may have been was any better. Just evidence that they clashed about strategy. It doesn’t mean his would have done any better at all.

His own strategy could have turned out the same or worse just as much as it could have turned out better, since we have no knowledge of what his actual strategy was.

There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.

I mean, you’d think as a fellow grifter Altman would understand that because he’s the same fucking way.

He started with books3, it was known it was pirated, it was known it DRM had been stripped from ebooks (a federal crime in the US).

He started his company with a dataset of more than questionable provenance and he did not pay a dime for access to it.

books3 is a well known corpus that was built from the entirety of the Bibliotik private tracker for ebooks. It’s a fucking pirate website with piracy as the explicit goal as well as tools to allow you to strip DRM from ebooks.

Now, piracy itself isn’t the issue here, it’s that somehow when it’s a massive corporation doing it, suddenly it’s okay to make obscene amounts of money from piracy. When the rich steal shit and make a mint off of it, it’s fine. But when little people do it? Fuck em, sue em and prosecute them for all they’re worth.

Rules don’t apply to them, and they know it.

Translation: “Pwease don’t buwwy me Mistew Musk.”

There is a non zero chance he may actually be good for the space program in general?

He does nothing but criticize NASA long-term plans as they stand and is fine with the privatization of space?

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that non-zero chance is something like 0.0000001% chance. Sure, it’s not zero, but it still ain’t a real fucking good chance.

Yeah, so all those astronauts who used to say that they needed politicians to go to space so they could be in awe of the Earth and come back feeling like it’s important to protect can be lumped in with all the idiots who say the world would be better if everyone took hallucinogens.

I think this guy and Musk prove both of those things to be fucking fantasies and copium, because for folks like this, nothing can shatter their worldview. They simply don’t see the same earth or the same problems we do.

“Back at home we all have a lot of work to do, but from here, Earth sure looks like a perfect world,” Isaacman said during the spacewalk after emerging from the capsule.
