Robert Downey Jr Speaks Out About Elon Musk "Cosplay" Of Tony Stark-The Tech Billionaire
  • I wanted to read it. I did.
    But seriously! How much work would it take for somone, anyone! Even the writer! Just read over the article once before before pushing the send button!

    The very first letter of the very first word (only a two letter word) is wrong.

    "Un an interview that's"

    I can't do it.

  • RFK Jr. wants federal health data so he can show vaccines are unsafe, Trump transition co-chair says
  • Yes. I think so. I'd need more details about exactly what he's looking for to be sure. What specific vaccines, years, populations, to really be sure.

  • AP sources: White House altered record of Biden’s ‘garbage’ remarks despite stenographer concerns
  • If there is one thing Democrats can learn from Republicans, it's to shamelessly own your beliefs. Don't try to cover them up, walk them back, or deny them.

    When they called Harris a DEI hire, should have said "Fuck yah she is! And should be!"

    Trump calls lefty liberals the enemy within? Biden can call Trump supporters trash. Personally I'd call them American Taliban.

  • How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?
  • I didn't realize their own promotional emails still reference Twitter. That's intereating.

  • Google Nexus 6 at 10: Shamu still has a place in our hearts
  • Nexus 5 is my all time favorite hardware design. With the soft touch plastic back, and lip around the flat screen, I never bothered with a case. All I ever wanted from a new phone since is a version scaled up to a 6in screen.

  • if you looking for a good alternative for google search, try "SearXNG"
  • API index access is an important difference.
    If it was only that, without public facing ad driven search, I'd be more impressed.

    Maybe if you removed the adds, and severely rate limited your own public facing search, so it's more of a demo than an actual service. This would force you to solely make money off the API access, without directly competing against those customers.

    That would be an honest buisness model. One that doesn't turn users into eyeballs for advertising. Which seems to me, to be the most insidious problem of the modern internet.

  • pebbling - giving people tiny bits of info you think they'll like.
  • I'm aware of pebbling.
    But I'm wondering what "boys" was supposed to be before the autocorrect.

  • How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?
  • Prince changed his name to a literally unpronounceable logo. So in that case, there was no real other option.

  • How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?
  • In that case Comcast is still the company name. Xfinity is just a branding of the consumer services division.

  • How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?

    I'm genuinely curious about peoples thoughts on this.

    It made sense for a while. But the branding change was 16 months ago. The URI change was 3 months ago. Everybody knows now what X is. Yet for some reason, I still see in news stories today: "... on X — formerly known as Twitter — and said ..." I really don't think that's needed anymore. But I'm always one to want changes as fast and painless as possible.

    So what do you think would be an appropriate amount of time to keep reminding everyone that Twitter is now X? Months? Years? How many?

  • For all their talk of doing things different with their own index and rankings. Mojeek is following exactly what Google did. It's still an ad based business model that makes users into products to be sold to advertisers. They're good now, while still trying to build market share. But once their investors get hungry, the enshitification will commence.

  • AMD's AI GPU business has barely been going for a year but it's already as big as its entire CPU operation
  • And the share price gets punished for it.
    It's as if the average trader doesn't know anything about the tech industry.

  • TIL "This is Spinal Tap" has a 7.9/11 rating on IMDB
  • They're about general critic and public sentiment.
    And for that, no movie should ever get a perfect 10. No movie could ever get a perfect 10.
    They are useful for evaluating a movie's actual quality. But quality has nothing to do with any individuals enjoyment of a movie.

  • If anyone knows about evolving, it's Jeffrey Combs.
  • I've always thought it was weird, the wife changes her name.
    But in your situation? That's the perfect reason to do it.
    You could also wear matching outfits every day! Like Jean and Gene from The Umbrella Academy season 4

  • TIL "This is Spinal Tap" has a 7.9/11 rating on IMDB
  • Rotten Tomato ratings are stupid.
    With every review being either a 👍 or 👎, the most simple meh movie that nobody hates (or loves), gets a 100% fresh.

    IMDb and Metacritic are much better.

    It's hard throw a flag through a windshield.

  • Regular enough bidirectional foot traffic would make it work.

  • How do I tell Pennsylvania I no longer live there?
  • I'd expect this would be the place.
    That's as far as I got since I'm not in PA.

    Cards Against Humanity sues SpaceX, alleges “invasion” of land on US/Mexico border

    Kagi AI summery: Cards Against Humanity (CAH) is suing SpaceX for allegedly taking over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that CAH purchased in 2017 to prevent the construction of Trump's border wall. CAH claims it maintained the land but SpaceX later moved construction equipment and materials onto the property without permission. The lawsuit seeks up to $15 million in damages to restore the land and cover losses, and also requests punitive damages. CAH says SpaceX never asked for permission to use the property and never apologized for the damage. The lawsuit includes before and after photos purporting to show SpaceX's use of the land.

    And CAH's website all about it

    Dawn of a new era in Search: Balancing innovation, competition, and public good | Kagi Blog

    Kagi AI Summary: The document discusses the recent court ruling that Google's search business is a monopoly. It explains Google's search architecture, including the search index, search engine, and advertising business, and how this has created a powerful self-reinforcing cycle. While Google has innovated and provided valuable services, the document argues the ad-based model has led to misaligned incentives and harm to users through biased and low-quality search results. To address this, the document proposes treating Google's search index as an essential facility, allowing fair access and enabling more diverse search experiences and business models. This could foster innovation, competition, and better outcomes for consumers without attacking Google's core business.
