  What are the gamers angry about this time? Did they let one of those pesky women into the game? Is one of them women maybe a little plain and not a 10/10 waifu for them to jerk themselves into a coma over? Oh no! Gaming is dead. So is satire.

  That’s what they claim, but they are liars. We know from the Cambridge Analytica settlement that they let them have direct access to user data, including private messages. And they did that for over a decade. And now they say they’ve changed, cross my heart, and you believe them?

  The article says Meta already tried to buy them out four times. So this company is waiting for a bigger payout or they don’t plan to sell. With a court decision on their side they will have much more leverage to force Meta’s hand.

  Nah, he didn’t. He started a company that later merged with the company that started Paypal. Paypal launched before he even joined up.

  What would later become PayPal was originally established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in December 1998 as Fieldlink, later renamed Confinity,[8] a company that developed security software for hand-held devices.[9] Having had no success with that business model, however, it switched its focus to a digital wallet.[10] The first version of the PayPal electronic payments system was launched in 1999.[11]

  In March 2000, Confinity merged with x.com, an online financial services company founded in March 1999 by Elon Musk, Harris Fricker, Christopher Payne, and Ed Ho.[12] Musk was optimistic about the future success of the money transfer business Confinity was developing.[13]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tiktok's most popular painter sends followers after art critic for negative review of gallery exhibit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but this guy only usually gets adoring tik tok fans and puff pieces in the media. This is the first time an established art magazine reviewed his work and it obviously pissed him off that this was criticism he and his ad agency had no control over. He should just enjoy his success instead of worrying about the art establishment, because he’s a viral sensation, not a critical darling. He’ll always be a Thomas Kinkade, never a Basquiat. And there’s not really anything wrong with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Utah sues TikTok, alleging it lures children into addictive and destructive social media habits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this seems more to do with the content available on tiktok (like pro-gay messaging) rather than anything else. They want it banned so they can create a little fundie safe space. It’s the same reason they want to ban any books from libraries with even a hint of pro-lgbt content.
