Yeah, he was always that bad. There is a an excellent example in Eric Berger’s book about SpaceX early days(Lift off). I don’t remember the exact details, but there is a critical failure with one of the rockets, and Elon blames it on one of the best engineers. Later is found out it was not his fault, but Elon never apologised which just leaves vibes in the company.

And overall feel of reading the book that Elon treats everyone kinda bad, it is just not directly stated.

If ChatGPT somehow ends up being the death of social media, i guess it is a win-win for the human race.

yes, same. I am way north of being teenager, but after reddit crapped out, my social media usage is like 80% tiktok and the rest lemmy.

Also have lost any trust i had left in the BBC, with their targeted hate campaigns against minorities and constant right wing grift. So i rather follow few serious creators on TikTok than any professional journalist from the mainstream British press.

yeah, being able quickly check something on a new device, without tedious logging process is a must for successful social media.

At some point i stopped complaining to my friend that the facebook links he sends me always end up in error and don’t show anything.

it is a development machine with highly specialised tools - Altium Designer, SolidWorks, IDA Pro, Altera Quartus, etc.

Upgrading the OS is not a trivial thing as would be on a phone or tablet. Also when upgrading the OS it would make sense to upgrade the HW as well, and that is a major investment. And Signal is just not important really to warrant that.

I would still use it on my phone though, but on the PC is just Viber unfortunately (whatsapp dropped as well).

Signal, Firefox and Eclipse.

Too bad Signal are dropping support for Windows 7 ;(

unfortunately it sounds like this in the cinema too. Dialogue is barely understandable and 80% of the scenes are so dark, it looks like shot with an iPhone under moon light.

Just compare with any movie from the 80’s or early 90’s.

I personally reached a point where don’t even bother to pirate those movies anymore.

and yet, i go to threads.net and there is a blank page with get the app icon. Twitter, with all it’s downfalls at least it behaved like normal public website, not a weird walled garden.
