“But FSD is safer than human drivers!” - Elon Musk

The only solace to watching all my retirement and investments get cratered is the fact that the assholes that brought this all about are taking the bigger hit.

Total capitulation plus a cash bonus for Trump in exchange for extremely shaky overtures of possible military support against Putin, who is the closest thing to a true/consistent Trump ally than virtually anyone else on the planet.

What could go wrong?

Time to fire all the airports for blaming SpaceX for its debris

And we need at least like 7 consecutive launches like this to fuel a moon mission. No wonder he’s talking about Mars again, more time to grift off taxpayer money and not be on the hook to actually deliver any time soon.

Worst fucking timeline.

Such passion and giving. That’s the least offensive thing I’ve seen Trump do.

I know it’s real because I have “common sense”.

I say we handle it like Elon and just say its a real video, boost it to millions of viewers, then remove the article a week later if it turns out fake

At least he doesn’t lie about how awesome he is at playing Diablo and PoE2

Maybe he’ll get a Trump pardon

The World Toddler Wars have begun

And he’s everything she ever dreamed of

Trump getting elected

And all that only a tiny portion of the hate i feel for greedy billionaires who destroy the lives of millions because they want even more wealth and power

It was nothing personal, more of an off-handed commentary on how things usually end up going after 20 years of seeing literally every site/service I’ve used and most of the companies I once considered “the good ones” eventually get shittier in some way when the business side puts on the squeeze.

The one exception I can think of is Wikipedia.

But I don’t have any reason to think badly of these folks, their current owners seem to have their hearts in the right place and indeed have made decisions that avoid lockin and assure users, and I hope they are another Wikipedia that will endure the tides of enshittification.

But I will never again assume that such hopes will remain the reality, even in this case. This is a snapshot in time. Owners change, priorities change, pricing models change, file formats change, common sense statements of basic decency like “don’t be evil” get rescinded, scrappy fun websites created by free-thinkers become tools of fascist oppression.

That doesn’t mean they don’t deserve your business and support currently. Just make sure your off-ramp options remain acceptable if things begin to change.

“…until we have a large enough userbase to start monetizing and enshittifying…”

This nuance would be so utterly disregarded if the tables were turned. Let him eat blame for every event that happens from this point forward.

IRS audits for politically motivated reasons are about to become a thing.

Having distro-specific flatpaks really seems to be defeating the whole purpose

They make it illegal except for Trump loyalists
