“Sovereignty over small pockets”… so, like, military bases that we already have?

I’d rather new software versions were only released when there was a solid reason. A slow meaningful, well tested release cadence is generally a sign of more mature and stable software.

I stopped when it became X. However it was full of racist, bigotry and hatred before then as well.

I used it to keep up with some content creators and tech companies but I did so by getting an API key and running a cli that only pulled down messages from who I followed. Made it much more bearable and useful.

Since the Xittification, API keys are expensive and I’ve either followed them elsewhere, or mostly just given up. Some dropped it, but when you have thousands to millions of followers on a platform, from their side, it’s hard to lose that audience.

I used to like Twitter when it started, following people and small companies/communities was super easy and the 140char limit nice and terse for both the posters and the ones following. Then it shat the bed and then it got bought out and while some still post there because of followers, most have left or just disappeared.

Time for a pull request to remove it!

This strangly sounds like exactly what the goal of Trump’s America First policy is.

Already ahead of you there! Cheers, everyone!

Jan 14, 2026 – Looks like SparkFun (Nate) is trying to drag Limor and I on hackernews, here is the post and discussion. And… Paul maker of “teensyduino” for the Arduino-compatible teensy, emailed and said there is “concern” about us saying teensy-compatible for the future unreleased unnamed open source alternative.

That not cool, bro.

Not “Despite”… “Because”

Ah, you sweet summer child! You think the US would talk to you first?

Apparently a large percentage of people buy cars without test driving them… so probably.

I feel like the problem here is that you get people who are curious or like the other features the fridge has and just get what they can when theirs goes out. And while, sure, those people learn not to do that again, by that point the industry used that sales data as a “they must like it, lets do it across the board!” Instead of asking people or taking anything else into account when figuring out what products to continue making.

In 10 yrs when those fridges die and people who “learned their lesson” go to buy a new fridge, there will be zero fridges without AI because marketing thought thats why they bought it and no one has any ability to buy a non-AI fridge anymore.

The great thing is that clearly we already have oil: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCRFPUS2&f=M

And that burning dino juice should drop in mid to long term from here out and not be the boom economic effect anyone thinks it is.

It’ll be a fine, which will be massaged away into a “cost of business expense”.

As long as the people are still subscribing, it doesn’t matter.

Cool, so now he’s just stealing other country’s stuff. Got it.

We can only hope… Needs to be mixed with SLAMS though.

I feel like ever since smartphones with cameras became ubiquitous, desktop software and website support became depreciated and pushed to the side. No one cares about desktop users anymore. Pages don’t flow right or use more than a thin column of space, peripherals don’t work right, Windows itself is turning into a pile of shit, etc… its like if you don’t want to use your phone, good luck.

I don’t want to live my life on a 5" screen…

Anyone have a non-video summary/article?

Someone (the oil companies) greased his palm enough to convince him it was a good idea. “Follow the money” has never been so true or obvious.

On one hand, its not that bad on a Mac… but that’s because the OS is designed in such a way where there’s nothing there and it sorta gets lost. Windows isn’t like that at all.

On the other hand, At least its not right above the keyboard like some of the ones we have at work… the “up the nose” cam is not flattering.
