But that’s not sufficient. It takes years to build up a community to have enough people for meaningful discussion to happen
It literally takes as few as 2 people to have a meaningful discussion, so the idea it needs to be some kind of massively large site is already a false premise.
Jag fick en CHECK idag från en amerikansk bank, som kompensation för ökade och sedan sänkta tariffer för en grej jag köpte 2025? Wtf

Une étude portant sur près d'un million de vidéos publiques sur les mobilisations, cumulant 16 milliards de vues et 4,5 millions de commentaires sur TikTok entre le 1er septembre et le 29 octobre déglingue les arguments du gouvernement. Qui aurait pu prédire ?
@stux right, funny like he really will be in need of a job to live 🙄

Encore une fois, les politiques avaient tout faux à propos la jeunesse (et les réseaux sociaux. De De Gaulle à Emmanuel Macron, en passant par Robert Pandraud, une continuité

@jalefkowit Et tu, Denny's?
Jag kollar iofs väldigt sällan på film och TV pga alla mina hobbies och åtaganden
@doktorzjivago I genomsnitt ser jag nog sisådär 3-8 filmer per vecka, minst. Mitt rekord är 27 filmer på en vecka, under Göteborgs filmfestival, det var en smått fantastisk upplevelse.
Film är en rolig konstform. Och det jag gillar mest är att filmer som numera är över hundra år gamla kan fortfarande vara ypperligt relevanta och underhållande.
It's going to be a real problem for the AI industry if a huge chunk of the pot of money that gets passed around in a circle between them turns out to have come from illegally circumventing export restrictions

@jalefkowit Do they not divide up and blend the money with money from other sources in order to get triple-a grade credit default swaps ...
Sorry, somewhere there I slipped back in time to the noughties sub-prime mortgage musical chairs game, but I'm sure this time it's all going to be completely different!

Great, now we're breaking you up, and your investors are getting *fucked*. Maybe next time they'll fire the board when they announce another stupid, anti-competitive merger.
Microsoft is too big in every way. Too big to fail, too big to jail and too big to care. Too big to trust. Too big to rely upon. Too big to foster a corporate culture that cares about reliability, a decent workplace, or product quality.

There's a straight line from GW Bush's decision to let Microsoft skate in 2001 and the situation a quarter century later, where Microsoft is a load-bearing piece of the world's most important firms and government agencies, and where this means that Microsoft knows that it can throw away tens of thousands of workers and hundreds of billions of dollars, crash the planet, and wake up tomorrow unscathed, ready to do it all over again.

I'm wondering what the roots of "shellacking" are in terms of politics, and if it's related to painting. 🤔 i.e. applying shellac to a piece of wood?
@ai6yr A while back, there was a murder in Maine where a guy wrapped his wife up and then covered the wrapping with fiberglass resin. They were saying that he "glassed" her. It's kind of what I imagine shellacking to be.
Both companies are demonstrably underinvesting in quality in order to divert R&D and product maintenance capital to their shareholders. They are too big to care. In this age of nonstop mergers and acquisitions, we can't afford to make merger approval turn on fact-intensive questions, but we can sure as hell create this administrable, bright-line test for whether a merger should be unwound after the fact. Did your company buy another company and then enshittify both products?

@stux Best part about this was how Denny’s had a drive-thru and the car decided to drive head on at the drive-thru window
@BmeBenji Haha exactly! AI doesn't have a clue it seems 
Google pays Apple an annual bribe of more than *$20b* to stay out of the search market. Judge Amit Mehta decided to let Google continue paying this bribe to Apple so that Apple would have the capital it needed to deliver excellent products. Apple promptly went on to have a string of catastrophically bad product launches - while throwing away $170b manipulating its share-price with stock buybacks:
