- Comment on CEOs say generative AI will result in job cuts in 2024 10 months ago:
Well, it was Jack Welch who started the braindead “line goes up” trend of making their share price raise by any means, usually layoffs. Before him, people still had jobs for life and were somwhat looked after by their employers.

We have Jack Welch to thank for this trend. It wasn’t always that way.
- Comment on One year after being bought for $44 billion, X is worth $19 billion 1 year ago:
Hadn’t it already massively dropped in value before the purchase was finalized, and that’s why he wanted to back out? How is everybody overlooking that?
- Comment on Sundar Pichai argues in court that Google isn’t evil, it’s just a business 1 year ago:
Lol, how simplistic do you have to be to believe this means anything? First off, you need to believe in good and evil, which are completely arbitrary. And do you think they thought “hmm, we need to start doing evil things do extract more profit… Change the motto so everybody knows! But then we’ll pretend to not be evil when confronted about this change…”
- Comment on The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet 1 year ago:
I could never find any that worked well, and the translations in chrome were too good.
- Comment on The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet 1 year ago:
This is a game changer for me. I always loved Firefox and tried to use it exclusively, but living in a foreign country is hard when you’re learning the language, and I had to switch to chrome sometimes due to the lack of translation in Firefox. Now I can finally remove Chrome!
- Comment on Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music 1 year ago:
It’s more the principal that Google doesn’t care about their ecosystem or users. There would be uproar if Apple killed their podcasts app, since it has been around for so long. But Android users are just used to this shit now.
- Comment on Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music 1 year ago:
This is why Google will forever be behind Apple. Any app that can’t be monetised gets killed. Why give Android users a stable ecosystem after all? Fuck the users. Google fucking sucks.
- Comment on Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company 1 year ago:
Exactly. Though usually once somebody does, that’s when the authorities get involved.
- Comment on Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company 1 year ago:
Good. There are people out there who ruin all the nice things. Just host your own damn server and download your own content like a normal person.
- Comment on Bruce Willis’ Wife Gives Blunt Update Amid His Dementia Battle: “I’m Not Good” 1 year ago:
Haven’t experienced it with a human family member, but my dog was like that in her last year or so of life. I know it’s not the same, but it really sucked and I did forget parts of her personality over time.
