All my African friends still buy cases of Bud Light for their parties, because it's cheap, they are used to buying it, and they really don't care if their marketing department made a shout out to a trans influencer. That being said, Bud Light did drop to second most popular beer, Modelo is now the most popular. So... not really a company ending mistake.

I was 100% C=64 before I transitioned to Apple ][ before I went IBM-PC DOS, briefly Windows/OS2 Warp, then MacOS, then 100% linux, and added Android later.

(sprinkle in some brief CP/M, BeOS, and NetBSD sidequests)

I'll deal with the shift to the next phone platform OK, I think.

I should probably dust off my Pine64 and try the latest builds again. It's been a few years since they were unusable as a daily driver.

Folks, this might be a huge opportunity if you correctly pick the successor and are the first developers.

Comment Re:Zero-sum game? (Score 1) 78

My gut tells me that most of the current boom is zero sum game; people are paying too much for too little across the board, and the value ultimately provided just doesn't add up to much more than the sum of the parts.

Indeed. I have a house for sale and it won't sell for more than $200k and yet I can't find a house (similar to mine) to buy that is less than $400k. Weird that.

You can't have a society where if you don't work you don't eat and then start automating the fuck out of everything.

Correct, YOU can't, but THEY can. All you have to do is stop living and your problems are solved. THEY don't care about your problems. YOU are THEIR problem that they desperately want to get rid of. YOU might band together with others like YOU and bring out the guillotines.

Somone quite possibly made a living bitching about the loss of the 3.5" headphone jack, and possibly DB9, parallel, floppy drives, optical drives, firewire, PS2 keyboard and mouse ports, micro USB, VGA, s-video, composite, RJ14, S/PDIF and PCMCIA.

One of these things is not like the others. I wonder if you have the intelligence to figure out which one it is...

Democrats confirmed RFK Jr as a cabinet member. There is no clearer sign that they are just as bought as the Republicans. They also universally voted for PATRIOT, DMCA, etc etc. The Democrats are wearing the same clothes as the Republicans. I am unsure why you are so loyal to them. They are NOT loyal to you. You are being manipulated. Both parties are bought out, even if they "feel" different to you.

On Youtube now, I clicked on something about Charlie Kirk. Feed fills up with more of the same. I read one of those goofy AI generated revenge stories where a man or woman suffers some indignity at work or with their significant other, so takes revenge. So my feed really went nuts. Sometimes I don't get anything that I'm actually interested in, a screen full of revenge stories, and whatever political thing I might have watched.

If you do not login to watch YouTube, when your feed gets all messy like, just wipe out your cookies. It resets the algorithm. If you are logged in though, you are fucked forever as far as I know. There is no way to stop them from tagging you for that crap.
