Because why the fuck not? He built it, it was his to sell, close, whatever.

He owed his users literally nothing.

Don't like it? Build your own, I hear there's a demand for it. Oh, and whatever you do, don't cash out or some AC choad will complain on Slashdot.

Note that they're careful to avoid giving you context.

68000!? That's a lot!

Actually it isn't. An earlier study suggested humans inhale 50 BILLION dust particles per day. Our lungs & systems (when healthy) are designed to cope just fine with this particulate load.

Democrats are famously good at (badly) spending other people's money (cf a candidate who raised $2bn only to end up begging for scraps because she was $20 million in the hole...) so I'm going to guess this is another misguided effort to buy themselves a Joe Rogan... because clearly honesty and authenticity doesn't work for them.

My favorite was the widely reported idea to "trick" young males by buying heavily into male- skewed podcasts and then just before the election have those hosts all start suddenly spewing disingenuous talking points and and how (democratic candidate x) suddenly "makes sense", apparently believing young males are as easily swayed by group think as young white women, (the only remaining liberal demographic).

Here's a hint: Joe was already leaning left, you drove him out.

" It isn't because men are always better at sports than women, "

Yes, it generally is, aside from some very edge cases.

High school boys routinely outperform Olympic-level women in nearly every field.

Oh and the vaunted US Women's Soccer Team? Gets beaten by under-15s boys teams.
Something more recent? Swiss women's team gets annihilated by under 15s boys just this year https://sports.yahoo.com/artic...

....or the empty-head it signals?

I've found it rather useful over the years to measure from the first words out of a person's mouth whether they're worth listening to.

"The remaining emissions are offset by the purchase of carbon credits"

We all recognize that carbon credits are complete bullshit, yeah?

Or they start an Onlyfans.

When did Fox News say that?

Yes, buying. I lived in Cedar City Utah and first encountered Linux in a RedHat 2.0 beige box at a gaming store in Red Cliffs Mall in St George. Probably in 1994 or 5. Came with a couple of manuals, a boot floppy, and a CD. Had the 0.95 kernel. Getting dial-up configured was interesting since the ISP only knew about Trumpet Winsock... Then leaving it running for a few hours in the evening to update everything.

Within a week I was at the local BN buying O'Reilly books.

It takes a special rsilvergun level of stupid to believe someone posting since 2009 is a bot.

You still posting from Indonesia, posing as an American?

Context is important.

A giant chunk of the Slashdot audience rages in torrents against anything ~faintly~ suggesting they go back into the office because, indeed, for them it doesn't matter where they are sitting.

Not everyone on earth is a programmer. There are vast swathes of people who do different things for work where they don't get the option of basically spending the whole day staring at a screen sitting or standing in one place. We found, for example, onboarding remote workers is MUCH harder as just the incidental learning, immediate presence & the ability to basically eavesdrop and step in when it sounds like they're struggling with something are all major contributors to new-employee success.

As the ultimate goal of eco-warriors (when they're being candid) is ultimately fewer humans on Earth, anything that weeds them out faster should be considered good news, right?

But.... But... #Believeallwomen!

(Of course, nobody seems to discuss that the logical consequence of that is there were really witches in Salem.)

Hilarious, when you're replying to a thread that STARTED with exactly that. The op started a fact (that the app was started to doxx and slander men anonymously) and was, in turn, called an incel.

If you buy Intel, you finance American fascism.

Don't buy Intel.
