IBM sure does suck donkey balls but I really don’t think that particular thing is their fault.

That is true and I have also muted a ton of my less-than-friend-level contacts in regards to stories. But that nag screen to subscribe to channels seems so terribly gauche.

Yep, that counts. And honestly, it counts for a lot more to me than speculative art trading and hoarding.

Can this “feature” be removed or deactivated somehow? I guess not because that would be too convenient.

Realistically? I think it very much is. If you can’t make money with art either by producing or buying/selling/owning it then pretty much no one cares.

When is the last time you genuinely saw someone care about a work of art breaking new ground, or for it delving into truly novel understanding, or due to it invoking feelings in the recipient?

Like the outrage ober the self-shredding Banksy? Oh noes, so much value destroyed how could he!!1

If we picked all of the asshole tyrant heads of state (add billionaire techbros while we’re at it) it would look like Battle Royal back when WWF was still a thing with twenty freaks in the ring at the same time. And for every punch that lands you could cheer because it never hits anyone who didn’t deserve it.

If the tyrant Erdogan (same thing for Orban and those other autocrat dickbags) is unhappy that’s a sign that at least something is going in the right direction.

This kind of headline makes me sick: “Work of art worth X currency” - because of course it’s only the financial speculative aspect that makes art valuable and no one cares about anything else. Disgusting.

Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

From “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”

Yeah that’s really cool for all those Linux phones out there. Oh wait, there are like two and a half models in total and none of them are great? Damn.

“Temporarily suspended” is not the same as “dismissed with extreme prejudice never to hold office ever again”. The latter is what’s called for and what these women deserve to see.

There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.

I really tried hard to persevere - but I’m weak and it was too much.

Agreed! Blobmoji were the best and I’m totally not bitter at all that Google killed them like so many other great services.

It’s very funny for sure and I was just about to share it with the other SWEs in our off-topic chat. But I just can’t listen to it, had to close the tab after like 50 seconds. Perhaps on mute and with CC?

Ew.

He can change the name to Twitler. Not a big change but much more fitting.@Technological_Burger
