To broaden it back up again, let look at a similar marketing miracle that happened during hurricane Katrina with Tesla. Tesla remotely enabled extended driving range as a "favor" to help people get out of the path of hurricane Katrina and turned into a marketing win.

Neat trick. Katrina in 2005 and Tesla first model year release in 2008. Extended driving range AND time travel! What a marketing miracle!

Their marketing is clueless, starting with the name. "Displace" carries a negative connotation, right away presenting itself as something you want nothing to do with.

their website pretends to be having technical issues.

Can confirm. The site pretends to allow the user to cancel, but then presents a "oops, technical problems" error. I just cancelled SXM after having been a subscriber since 2008. Had to call to do it and was surprised they didn't pitch me. They asked why, told them SXM was redundant and that was it. The fake technical problems bit on the website is greasy as fuck though.

Mac owners use Android phones?

Yeah, sure. At home, I am Mac on the workstation, linux or bsd on the servers, windows in a VM or 2, Android on mobile. At work, Windows for the workstation, iPhone for mobile, Google Workspace for collaboration.

So my experience is very different from what you describe.

That's because the parent poster is just making shit up while you are drawing upon real-world experience.

They just want a tool that works.

The enlightenment may come when they realize they *are* the tool and they are working just fine and as designed.

X removed the NYT verification tick because they (and also CBS, MSNBC, CNN) were caught quoting in verbatim press releases by the Hamass terrorists that were blatant lies; NYT didn't even attempt to verify the statements.

So your boy Musk removed the verification out of spite then? Or what? Because the verification state of any entity on Twitter has got nothing to do with what they post. It is either the NYT or it isn't. So why remove it? Because fuck you, that's why. Musk is a bitch.

Let's be honest, the abuse dynamic is very real and the GP's advice is spot on. There's no real reason for you to marginalize it.

None of whom will be able to afford any of the 1,100 condos or apartments described in the article. And please don't give me that shit about these 1,100 units opening up 1,100 lower tier units. San Francisco's homeless population cannot afford to live there, period. They are there because the social services climate is favorable to them, among other similar practical considerations. And drugs. Drugs are easy.
