Nothing says “innovation” like buying a useful, growing product at a distressed valuation, firing the people who built it, hiking subscription prices, crippling the free tier, and calling the resulting rent-extraction machine now “sustainable.”

Bending Spoons claims they're rescuing businesses, but what they really do is fuck anyone who bought into a platform they've purchased.

It’s applying the private-equity model to existing infrastructure: user lock-in, cut labor, reduce service, and monetize the inconvenience of leaving... but they cut out all of the innovation aspect by not even providing the value associated with the initial lock-in. They just skip the first step and buy companies to screw.

Let's call them "Gooboo"

Only idiots would think that the biggest troll on the world stage wouldn't use a Nazi salute.

Hold on, did a journalist make Musk do a seig heil?

A news reporter took over Musk's twitter and called a rescue worker a pedo?

It was totally CNN that forced Musk to mockingly run around with a chainsaw as he was cutting off the livelihoods of countless people!

If it is, then given what the administration's actions have borne out time and again, their intention is to put in their own people, so they can get their cut... no matter how much damage it does.

"Done more for": No
Done more to? Maybe

His entire empire is based of of exploitation of inequality of economic power in the most extreme ways.

U.S. median household income is about $84k. Typical personal savings rate is 4% of income. Modern capitalism regularly wipes out gains entirely every decade or two, so we'll ignore interest for the sake of simplicity. So, the typical American household would save about $3.3k a year. It would take roughly 66 million years to reach Jeff Bezos’s net worth.

So yeah, some people will use billionaire as a "snarl word".

Why are you out here trying to do Bezos' PR for free? He's not going to pick you.

Bullshit. The electoral college in combination with term limits means the presidency is maybe the least democratically representative component of federal government.

Continuing:

Dickhead starts a war which is a plausible reason for continued inflation
Businesses keep prices anchored even higher than the tariff-level highs
Consumers also do not get relief going forward either

10 hour movie would have been awesome! I think it would have made a fantastic prestige-TV type show.

Markdown and YAML are definitely spiritual cousins.

* Simple
* Human-first editing
* Whitespace-significant / Diff-friendly
* Low-ceremony / Huffman-coded

Markdown of course is for freeform idea and narrative capture, whereas YAML is data.

But, they both share the opinion that XML/HTML are cursed for the most common use cases, and they're both mostly right on that account.

1) A.I. is driven by fanciful notions. For example, Hi I am Sam Altman, you should be using A.I. for everything, even if it doesn't work because I want to make trillions and well, basically have it tell me how to live forever and travel the Universe with my Trillions.
2) A.I. is fundamentally anti human, anti life and little too overly SATANIC, right down to its crappy language that forces everyone to use: Python. I will never write a single line of Python. If it isn't C or Java I am not interested. Why should I be?
3) The people pushing this fancy search engine, which they constantly spend millions to convince you otherwise, lie. Not just lie or mislead, they do it on purpose. ANYTHING so that the perception of A.I. IS NOT just a fancy search engine, but yet another stock opportunity.

Liars, cheats and not too terribly bright=A.I.
