- Comment on Biden expected to sign the TikTok ban on Wed. 6 months ago:
Based take. Seemed we learned nothing from Trump and What-aboutism. Just because Facebook does it and doesn’t get in trouble doesn’t mean Facebook is in the right. It means you should get mean and demand change from them too.
Also I might have missed this, but didn’t everyone get mad at tiktok last or a couple of years ago for circumventing Android and Apple app policies and collecting data they shouldn’t? I though Facebook and Twitter obeyed those policies, they just had other means to collect that data.
- Comment on Music Piracy Is Back, Baby 9 months ago:
I’m curious about where you find your music. When I looked into an indexer for music ~3 years ago, it was slim pickings. I recently found that there a method to download from Spotify, but haven’t had a chance to try it out
- Comment on If Trump and Biden both died today, what would happen? 10 months ago:
Never really thought it like this before, but would the entire chain move up? Like Speaker comes VP or would Harris get to select a new VP?
- Comment on Boeing 737 Max planes are grounded after a hole blew in one mid-flight 10 months ago:
Talk out my ass here, but I thought it was due to the economics. Companies only want to buy the 737s because it’s a fairly known factor. Pilots don’t need to be retrained and, at this point, can be produced cheaper and/or faster.
- Comment on Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023) 11 months ago:
Didn’t Facebook build infrastructure and give out free phones in India and other developing nations to get them online? I’m sure it was more to harvest their data, but I’m sure that counts pretty solidly for them
- Comment on Google announces April 2024 shutdown date for Google Podcasts 11 months ago:
Google seems to be caught in an awful feedback loop. I feel like at this point, most tech savy people are weary to try new Google services for fear of liking them, but eventually getting shutdown. In turn causing those tech savy users to not recommend it to their friends/family that actually might cause it to grow.
Honestly don’t know how they get out it without either losing tons of money on maybe side projects or happening across the one things that’s so good it’s impossible to not use. The latter seems more unlikely by the day
