After watching Trump boost his crypto scams, I absolutely believe that the X wallet or whatever has the means to successfully fleece morons.

(me wishing CVS/Rite aid/Walgreens didn’t destroy all the mom and pop drug stores)

They do. It’s the secret aisle, behind the store. Ask for Kenny.

Damn the downvotes. Where is OP wrong?

1. Wikipedia CEO literally said that’s what he wants. He wants people to debate. He’s done interviews where he doesn’t want a single person to be the source of truth. The chaos is what brings consensus.

2. You have to be stupid if you don’t think companies don’t pay people for this. It’s really not difficult to hire a “Reputation Management” team to sprinkle positive information or at least control it. Im in team meetings about it, where we have staff members who moderate major social groups and lie about endorsements.

Ah, thought you meant though metadata. Like a end user snooping through some obscure meta data method (even after cleaning) let’s you triangulate something.

Ignoring the Seagate part, which makes sense… Is there a reason with 36TB?

I recall IT people losing their minds when we hit the 1TB, when the average hard drive was like 80GB.

So this growth seems right.

How so? Asking out of curiosity.

There are home users of Microsoft 365?

I’m not shaming but I kinda am. Like WTF is wrong with you? You pay for free shit.

Office employees don’t get to choose.

What a twist. In the 90s, the internet forced countries to wake up to the new modern era. It was a combination of American companies wanting both to expand and provide goodwill.

And now, this new era is going to tell American companies to fuck off.

$125k over five years is stupid. That’s $25k a year for five years.

GoDaddy made 4.481B last year.

For math nerds, that’s 179,240 times the penalty.

As an American, I can say fuck America because that’s my god given right.

The right to shit on your country is the most American thing ever.

What a take: learning a language makes you a tankie.

This guy absolutely harasses people in the real world.

Gotta rise up to that Firefly/Serenity lore.

Gateway learning.

I learned Spanish to write love letters in 2nd grade.

And now 30 years later, I know like a dozen languages at a basic level, but still good enough to be sent all over the world on business trips for free.

“Go big or go home!” The CEO says as they fire 70% of their staff and now have to take a vacation to recharge at their summer beach house. His major concern? His severance package is only $3 million when his last place gave him $12 million. But this next coke-fueled idea will absolutely get them back to the top!

I laughed way too hard at this.

Bro I know people like this. The JD Vances who are so obnoxious but only in the room because of some political BS. And we absolutely leave them out of the real discussion.

I wish I could be such a PoS where I join a company, propose a massive investment into something, see it’s failure and firing a bunch of staff, then bounce with a nice severance package to join a new company to repeat that over and over again.

Thank you! Subscribed and will start passing posts over there.

No doubt about it.

The original drama started off on shakey ground like it was about using the WordPress branding and WPEngine not contributing.

Which, okay I can see his perspective even if I disagree.

But then his not one, but TWO “If you hate my direction, then quit”. Then not one, but TWO “Well we might not return to contribute” threats.

Sounds like his for-profit company is slowly sinking and he’s looking for something to blame that isn’t him.

A for-profit CEO controlling the direction of a open-source project is a big fucking problem
