I don't get why Microsoft is killing Skype, all they had to do to make it popular again is shove a ton of random AI features that no one wants nor has any real world application for most average users because the people who lead these companies are so rich they are divorced from reality and don't know what an average person's problem is even if it hit them in the face but irregardless of this fact these mostly unnecessary features are touted as the future because the line must go up at all costs or else a large segment of the tech sector explodes because business is no longer about providing a good product but rather chasing growth at any and all costs. It worked for Windows, everyone loves Windows and has nothing bad to say about it whatsoever. So yeah, rest in pepperoni Skype or something lol.
awesome without wesome, a u found abandoned under a bridge, an r that rolled down a hill near my least favourite toothpaste museum, an i which was seen lying on the pavement near my favourite deli, an extra a (cloned with a futuristic device i have acquired via a time machine i built), an l found loitering near the local tesco metro, and another i (cloned via the aforementioned futuristic device i have acquired via a time machine i built) is me
Mild politics warning
One of the more interesting contradictions I find with Elon Musk is his distain for Wikipedia, not just because he used to like it and understand why it's a valuable website, but also because he literally benefits from how it functions.
If you look at the Community Notes feature on Twitter, it's functions in a similar manner to Wikipedia. On Wikipedia, when someone edits an article and claims something, it can be verified by anyone since Wikipedia requires citations from reliable sources, on top of that, there are “Talk” pages for every article where users can discuss changes and improvements to articles. Now look at Community Notes, when a tweet claims something, users can write notes that add context or fact check the tweet, these notes require a citation to be added from a reliable source, they are then voted upon by other users, and are eventually displayed if it gets voted positively enough from a diverse array of users.
I dunno about you, but these two systems sound kinda similar, both are volunteer driven, push for neutrality by getting diverse groups to come to a decision, and emphasize sourcing from reliable places. Yet Elon complains how Wikipedia is biased, but then touts Community Notes as a perfect system, yet calls it biased when it correct him.
It's funny how Elon hates Wikipedia yet has implemented a system that is essentially a Wikipedia that corrects him directly. Maybe he doesn't like it when folks point out when he lies?
uh oh, this is my 400th post on this account, better make it count!
balls.
its impressive and depressing at the same time that ok computer by radiohead is just as if not more relevant now than when it released in 1997. been relistening recently to it and it’s hitting pretty hard.
Some thoughts on wasteof4 after using it for a few days:
The overall look is vibrant and a lot more visually interesting than wasteof2, and I’d say it builds upon and combines the best elements of wasteof2 and wasteof3.
The more heavy use of users chosen profile colours is a nice addition (especially how links and posts get highlighted with the user’s chosen colour).
It’s stupidly fast.
The new layout for settings is amazing, I had to highlight it specifically just because it is such a step up from wasteof2, it’s easier to understand, and just pleasing to look at.
The little details are nice, like the spinning cog when a page is loading, or how the “X” to close the post composer uses the “𝕏” - which I think is funny. Even the little animation when opening/closing the post composer, or how the text box expands automatically when you start typing in a comment section. It just feels nice.
I did notice emoji are getting rounded when they shouldn’t be, and I think a more clear visual indicator for when you need to scroll to see more of a post when it’s too long would be helpful.
Overall really liking what we’re seeing with wasteof4, daily driving it now on my main account, especially as the Space Grotesk font being used makes it easier to read for me with dyslexia. Excited to see it develop more!
This Valentine’s Day, I’m gonna share with you a song that really fits the vibe, and also because it’s just a wonderful song lol: https://open.spotify.com/track/2ZSDtC0XZnpokAMwRtgqzh
