Musk has moved on from trying to create an ‘internet bank’. Dude now wants to make something like LINE or WeChat, which is absolutely hilarious.

It’s not that easy to break an addiction, but I have faith that Musk can fuck this website up juuuuust enough to chase away a higher percentage.

They’ll just call every one of those inactive accounts ‘bots’ and be done with it

lol no problem, the way this was reported definitely made it seem like this was something new when it was really not.

Uhh just to clear up a misunderstanding, Apple and everyone else already scans your photos in the cloud and compares them to a pre-curated hash of known CSAM. What Apple was trying to do was do the scans on-device instead, for photos outbound to Apple’s iCloud. Supposedly, this was to make sure that your photos weren’t directly scanned by Apple themselves.

Yeah, and the most accessible too; meaning a lot of people who would love to mess around with their cars to get more value for their money.

It uses pull-tab adhesive, which even most Right-to-Repair advocates consider ‘sufficiently repairable’. When it comes to glue, Samsung’s worse by a mile.

Probably yes period

With Apple, people generally let it slide because electronics aren’t as expensive and don’t last as long. Cars, on the other hand, are extraordinarily expensive and they’re supposed to last a lot longer than a phone.

Plus, at least Apple doesn’t (for example) charge you extra just to ‘unlock’ more performance on your phone.

Imagine being able to retrofit these with solid-state batteries when they’re a thing. These hackable 3s might someday go for a premium.

Especially when FSD is still garbage. Seems to me like they just wanted to trigger FOMO.

Finally, the fun kind of schizoposting!

The Sync drama truly is a Reddit moment.

It was bound to happen eventually; these migrations happen in waves, after all. Not to mention, a solid chunk of former Reddit users just stopped using social media entirely.

Yeah, basically the maximization of the ‘glass slab’.

Thankfully, Apple seems to be going back on the ‘less is more’ thing that Jony Ive started; at least when it comes to stuff like their laptops.

Then I can’t do anything to help, since I haven’t used Chrome in years

It’s not 100% guaranteed to work, but you can go with the angle that God left us as the custodians of the planet, and what we’re doing is destroying it; hence breaking our promise and showing God that he was wrong to have faith in us.

That sounds really interesting! I hope future product/UX designers see those kinds of videos and we can see a return of more ‘creative’ designs.

The problem is that very few people have the self-awareness required to understand what’s happening to them, especially when extremes are so…alluring. Nuance requires way too much higher-level thinking, and our monkey brains just love ‘thing good, other thing BAD’.

Also, there’s the comfort in belonging to a group of some sort. When there’s so many people who agree with so many of your beliefs, you see the extreme stuff they say and wonder to yourself ‘hm, but what if they’re right about this too?’
