Thread: "Imagine rock and roll without the Beatles."

Occam's News reports that Trump et al are selling out the US. Putin can get the US to do what he wants by giving Trump money. Total win-win. And the US is flushed down the toilet. That's all that's going on there. All of the journalistic feigned bafflement is make-believe. It's totally obvious what's going on. And don't forget Musk has the world encircled with satellites. If he doesn't want you communicating, you don't communicate. In other words the selling-out has been going on for some time.

Someday all the pieces will be interchangeable. Then there won't be different brands of social networks, just different brands of the software. All parts replaceable. It won't have all the chaos of the web. And that will be a good thing.

Unlike Tim, I didn’t waste an hour on X …

🔗 I Wasted an Hour on X: Tim Bray

Where I stand · I’m still a happy Fediversian, here’s why. Yeah, there aren’t as many people and it’s kinda geeky and leftist and queer; also unattractive to billionaires and CEOs. I can see why that’s less appealing for some folk out there and, well, OK. But I’m having fun on Fedi. And it’ll be a loooong time before I waste another hour on X. 

Read the whole thing. I stand with Tim - and his list of people who he now has less respect for is worth a little peak.

I’m in. Not sure why - but ‘in’ I am. I’m sure it will all become clear❓

🔗 Satya Nadella and Marc Benioff, Toadies – Pixel Envy

There is no legal or moral requirement to replace the vocabulary of “artificial intelligence” unless one is trying to appease a dumb and unpopular administration. Truly spineless stuff from Nadella and Benioff alike.

The words speak for themselves.
