I don’t have access to Twitter’s balance sheet, but I’d wager a guess that they’re on financial life support in the short term, and they’ve got a stage 4 cancer diagnosis in the long term.
The only thing Twitter has going for them over a competitor like Mastodon or Threads, is their name. And Musk has made sure their name is covered in shit and mud.
Twitter was doomed before Musk bought them, and they’re super doomed now.
I agree, never trust the justice system to get things right. But also, don’t let the poor reputation of the justice system get in the way of protecting victims of crime in cases involving minorities.
Minorities are much less likely to get the attention they need from investigators when they’re the victim of a crime. And like everyone, they’re often victimized by someone from their own community.
It’s an incredibly nuanced problem that isn’t easy to sum up in an easily digestible comment.
It’s not that they’re obsessive over social media, they’re just used to being able to simply look up general information about people online through social media sites. And if you don’t present anything for them to find, it often encourages further digging.
But you do you, I’m not trying to change your mind.
Employers and romantic partners can be especially put off if they can’t find any trace of you online. And if they really care, they’ll dig harder to find that time where you declared bankruptcy, or you got arrested for public intoxication, or where someone deep in your past said something negative about you, and that’s all that will stick in your mind when they think of you.
For me personally, having a simple, but relatively barren social media presence is worth it to avoid the persistent diggers, who will find something about you if they don’t see anything public.
And besides, everything about most of us is already stored in Apple or Google’s datacenters. There’s no hiding from the deeply intrusive data collection those companies do. So having some simple information out in the open is likely better for privacy in some ways.
If you disagree with my take, that’s fine, I just wanted to give another perspective.
u/AngryBeaverBeaver : OP, why do you even bother posting here when 90% of replies are bots?
OP : I’m sorry, but as an AI language model…
That’s definitely the smart way to buy laptops.
I just wanted to remind people that Framework’s pricing is competitive in the segment they are targeting.
Personally I’m with you, buying a 1-2 year old premium machine can save up to 75% off the new retail price, while still getting most of the latest features.
It detects if you’re idle and refreshes the page?
That’s some horrible attention hacking bullshit.
I’m 100% going to find another instance if I see any content from that nightmare. I’m not on Twitter, or Facebook, for a reason.
Maybe if you spec them out.
But it’s like $1000 for the midrange model with the latest hardware, which is in line with the competition.
And the first upgrade you do will end up saving money, since you won’t have to replace the whole laptop.
You make a good point.
Under the Castle Doctrine laws in my state, if Zuckerberg walked into my house without being invited then I could start blastin.
I’ll post the legalese mumbo jumbo on my door to keep him out, like he’s a vampire.
I don’t think anyone would even notice next to the garbage that’s already served by default on Reddit.
Diablo 4 looks interesting, but $70 and microtransactions just rubs me the wrong way.
I agree, it seems like they’re doing everything they can to force users into the mindset of “you’re going to have to spend money here.”
However… I don’t think that’s going to work. It’s a tactic that relies solely on Apple not allowing the user to customize their icons, which combines into a double whammy of “give me money to fix the thing that I broke.”
Why do I have to pay when Android users don’t?
Why is Reddit being greedy?
This other site is free and doesn’t make me feel like I’m being taken advantage of every turn.
Reddit is trying to capitalize on goodwill they already spent months ago. And the quality of the site is just going to get worse from here.
