- Comment on Reddit seeks to launch IPO in March 9 months ago:
Huffman was fucking pissed about how good Alien Blue and Apollo were. He bought and absolutely fucking ruined AB and when he couldn’t buy Apollo (he tried) he crushed it under his boot heel.

How do they explain the lag other places outside their Official App on mobile?

A decision on Apple’s request for a permanent stay on the U.S. ban during its appeal is expected in the coming days.
An Apple spokeswoman said that the blood-oxygen feature would continue to be available on the watches for now.

Ah the year 2020. What a shiteshow it was.
I was hoping BlueLeaks had been added to since originally being posted in 2020. I was excited there for a bit but alas…
- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
Not orgs,…exactly.
There was a huge push by well, a lot of IT and tech based people to get behind and push promotion of Chrome over Firefox and IE. FF had its issues at the time and seemingly everyone trusted Google to no end (ashamedly myself included).
I’m gonna say this happened ~2010 or so.

This has been rampant for years now.
There was a massive movement years ago to get every user on Chrome. Even going so far as to replace all instances of IE with Chrome, then change the Chrome desktop icon to the IE icon.

There was a massive PR campaign to wash his image. Similar to Bill Gates; a massive amount of money and influence spent washing that complete prick squeaky clean for years. Him and his cronies actively holding back the planets technology for over a decade will never be forgotten.
I’m trying to think of other examples of world figures that have had their images washed and am coming up with nothing so far.
- Comment on Eminem concert 10 months ago:
Right? Someone I knew wasn’t that much into gaming; took them through something really simple like one of the horror/haunted houses; running around like Scooby Doo; we had fun and got to hang out for a bit and just voice chat.
- Comment on Eminem concert 10 months ago:
Rocket League drifting, boosting, racing on the walls and ceilings, rocket jumping over gaps and each other; it’s pretty fucking wild and can get intense. Whatever team they had working on it internally really did a helluva job.
And No Build in Fortnite is the only way to play imho; stripped down and back to the basics.
- Comment on Eminem concert 10 months ago:
I tend to agree. Taking the car physics from their acquisition of Rocket League and putting it into a racing game was a bit of genius. It is the most fun I’ve had in a casual racing game since MarioKart.
And,…that’s kind of my point. Epic/Unreal is acquiring gaming IP (Rockband, Rocket League, etc) and putting all of that into their own Metaverse/OASIS garden.
It’s an interesting Facebook-like strategy they seem to have.
- Comment on Eminem concert 10 months ago:
Epic is trying to make their own ‘Metaverse’— just wait until Fortnite VR comes out in the near future.
It’s already a place for people to hang out with friends socially and just voice chat, or go to concerts, or go to Escape Rooms, or play music together in Rockband, etc etc.
Epic/Unreal will just keep adding and adding things to their ‘Ready Player One’ universe.

Ha I’m glad someone picked up what I was putting down there.
I didn’t wanna have to go back and look at the video of the turds falling out of Bush’s mouth again, but I finally did:
"There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once,…shame on— shame on you— fool me can’t get fooled again’
- Comment on Inspired by Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, Google wrote a ‘Robot Constitution’ to make sure its new AI droids won’t kill us 10 months ago:
It was sort of a play on the old quote:
"There’s an old saying in Tennessee—I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, ‘Fool me once,…shame on— shame on you— fool me can’t get fooled again’
—Bush
And a mixing of Who lyrics.
basically implying that I am a fool, we are fools, we will fool ourselves, and get fooled again.
Me: Spending hours upon hours with me and my friends playing around on what was then called “GOOG-411”, training early language models that would then eventually years later become part of the reason Google Assistant was so ahead of its time.
Looking upon with shame years later; the massive push by everyone half-way familiar with a computer pushed everyone else to switch to Google Chrome Browser.

Yeah, I’ve heard this one before.
‘We Promise To Not Be Evil’,…unless it gets in the way of profit some years from now…
Embrace Goodness, Extend Goodness,… Extinguish Goodness
Fooled us once… We won’t get fooled again.

Right after that he said some other bullshit about Reddit being ‘open’. Just complete BS from this guy non-stop.
- Comment on WhatsApp continues working on Instagram integration behind closed doors 11 months ago:
Wait,…you thought that when Facebook bought WhatsApp that it wouldn’t wrap it up into one product?
Since the day FB bought WhatsApp it’s been breaking the rules of the agreements made when the acquisition went down.
There should be a massive movement and a call to forcibly break WhatsApp off from Meta again and maintain strict boundaries between the companies.
- Comment on Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android Authority 11 months ago:
I wish this kind of thing was more spotlighted when Palm and Windows Phone developers were trying to use Google API’s to make apps for their OS’s and got shut down at every turn, eventually killing off the Palm and WP because of device lock-in.
I still miss what Palm could have been before Google bent them over a barrel with their massively anti-competitive bs.
- Comment on Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma 11 months ago:
Figma is the future, really. It does so many things for designers across many spectrums. It’s no wonder Adobe wanted to scoop it up and shelve it all. It’s going to eat their lunch and they know it.
- Comment on Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma 11 months ago:
That’s where it’s at… an “all draw” and paste and collab. It’s really quite nice.
- Comment on Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma 11 months ago:
End of an era for sure. I agree, Adobe Flash had to go. Macromedia Flash was brilliant tho.
