THE SHARES! THEY NEED TO BE HELD! ONLY THE HOLDERS OF THE SHARES KNOW WHAT IS BEST!

Or it no longer has anything to do with making a vehicle look cool.

The Lucid Air is equipped with up to 32 on-board sensors, including long range Lidar radar, short-range radar, surround view monitoring cameras.

It’s because musk treats all his businesses like startups, and no matter how successful they get, in the interest of “trimming the fat” he’d like to keep people buying inferior products at a higher profit margin than thinking about better investment and long term growth, just like many companies.

Maybe if they use LIDAR like they should have instead of just cameras it wouldn’t be such an issue, but they’re determined to minimize costs and maximize profits at the expense of consumers as are all publicly traded companies

Also unless you claim to be a member of ICE, I assume

Lol are you telling me that the people that I’ve worked with directly in small 5-10 person discord servers that we set up when I worked with them, are in fact investor imposters, and instead the actual coworkers are secretly using separate slack setups? Or do you just imagine that anecdotally how ever your coworkers have communicated is how all people communicate without exception?

I feel like it should be tacked on as a bell curve to older generations too lol. My grandmother and my parents are absolutely hopelessly addicted to Facebook reels, scrolling them nonstop throughout the day, just connecting those ads and wild algorithm messaging with those little dopamine hits.

I remember spending hours tinkering with Linux in my bedroom as a kid and being yelled at for being antisocial and not spending enough time off the computer.

How the turns have tabled

Palantir has more data on more people in the world likely than any other corporation, and Peter Thiel is trying to wield it to collapse global democracy, so yes

But did you think about the shareholders

Yeah lol the mic is definitely always connected to Palantir on this bad boy

Now how fast until most of these “illegal” children being exploited are handed over to ICE and deported and then the pardons roll out

Unfortunately many of the people I work or have worked with are from all over the world, and many of them share these ideals. I took a big pay cut 5 years ago to move from the ad/ecommerce industry to work at an emergency management SaaS company.

The app I now work on is used to save lives, whereas the customers I was producing work for at my last job would do anything for the extra dollar. Knowing where my time is going towards the general good is very rewarding. Yet many people I spoke to in my industry were confused at my decision.

Late stage capitalism and fascism I think eventually are inseparable. Just the centralization of power and wealth consolidation that fails everyone involved in the system except those at the top

Yup. I’ve worked in tech for nearly 20 years. Most people who work in tech don’t give a shit about the ethics of what they do or where they work if the money is good.

This is a screenshot from one of the discords of current and/or previous coworkers, but the sentiment is everywhere

“My name is no longer Brayden, it’s Tanec Iak, meaning ‘he who mines redstone’”

Yup. For those wanting to learn more

Haha no worries awesome person, I’m also a little intoxicated, had a good work breakthrough this week (lol doing my job working on a mobile app) so I’m celebrating myself. I run the mobile iOS and Android app teams at the company I work for so I appreciate the kind compliments that remind me that maybe I’m not an imposter.

That being said, totally agree. To be honest, the developer experience on Apple/Swift/App Store is like light years above what it’s like for Android/Kotlin/Play Store but I am frequently frustrated by Apple restrictions, so it it’s always “the grass is basically just as green on both sides.”

If only we could adjust the plot of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes to where it’s mostly just cleaning up dead starlink satellites.

In any case, highly recommended as a fantastic anime. And for those that haven’t seen it:

That’s a dubbed trailer, but those of you looking for a Japanese language trailer know where to find it or probably have already watched it lol

Yeah wait until we we have someone in power who gives a shit about science and then re-fund NASA and nationalize SpaceX under the NASA umbrella. (Pipe dreams, I know)

Agreed. For apple I imagine the biggest issue is that a system-wide ad blocker means that all of the AdAttributionKit and StoreKit stuff might get blocked and therefore it’s never an API they’d open to other general apps because it’s less revenue. That being said though, like I said VPNs can filter requests.

And the APIs already exist

https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/web-content-filter-payload-settings-depc77c9609/web

But it’s exclusive to MDM providers which pay apple a boatload of money and are specifically integrating your app with an enterprise deployment scheme. Maybe the EU can rally to get apple to open up these APIs to power users

Edit: Forgot to mention that Firefox is also safari under the hood. Apple does not allow custom browsers. Firefox for iOS is safari with firefox trimmings.
