TempleOS did get forked.

What everyone else is saying, but god do I hate the fortnite art style.

And a Mac client.

Just get a cod piece like respectable humans.

Oh I have been and people aren’t happy with me. I’ve also been calling Hispanic ICE agents modern day Verband nationaldeutscher Juden whenever someone tries telling me that ICE is a diverse org and the protesters are all whities.

I have to use facebook for work every few months. All sandboxed and shit. They seem to think I’m in the market for conceal carry yoga pants. Which I fine with, because that means they have no clue about my gender, hobbies, or political alignment.

British teeth thing is an American stereotype, I’ve never seen it IRL lmao

I’ve seen them making fun of themselves over that on the BBC ads on old Doctor Who DVDs. Their junkfood has even more sugar in it then the American stuff.

Zhang Yiming? I could only find him denying he’s Singaporean. Everything says he’s Chinese. It could be bullshit if he’s cozying up to the PRC, but that only proves my point.

it was open to both left and right contact

I don’t believe that for a minute. The CCP just had more subtle methods for suppressing content critical of them.

There’s an issue with Wild Ramps. Very very difficult to grow in a garden to that point that no one does it. So if you want it, you have to harvest from the wild and the places they grow is limited for the same reason they’re difficult to garden.

Foragers that find a patch growing either keep the spot a secret and harvest responsibility or it gets shared and over harvested to the point of destroying the patch.

Ramps aren’t the same thing as a fruit tree, but I would be worried about randos breaking branches trying to harvest the fruits. You need to pick trees and shrubs that are resistant to that. Raspberry bushes have thorns, so maybe that?

The useful AI is in scientific research and accounts for a fraction of a percentage of electricity used in “AI”. It’s not sexy. It’s not hip. And it’s not going to replace any workers, so the tech bros don’t care.

I don’t think he had a plan in the beginning. These people aren’t pioneers. They got lucky once, get labeled as a trend setter and then you have to try and maintain that image. VR was going the next big thing, so Zuck bought a company without a plan. Tech companies do that all the time. They see themselves falling behind on something and just buy some random company to appease the shareholders/press.

The VR office thing was just the limits of Zuck own creativity and saw covid as an opportunity to keep their product relevant.

Yes and?

Facebook was marketing their virtual office space stuff during covid. In the infinite wisdom of Zuck, that’s the best use of the tech today.

Zuck wasn’t marketing VR to the average consumer or even the tech enthusiast. He was marketing it to middle managers who wanted to regain control of their WFH peons. During covid, those types lost a lot of control while the workers continued without much change. Now that back to the office is being forced, the target demographic isn’t interested.

John Carmack had some choice words when he left Meta.

"We have a ridiculous amount of people and resources, but we constantly self-sabotage and squander effort. There is no way to sugar coat this; I think our organization is operating at half the effectiveness that would make me happy.

“It has been a struggle for me. I have a voice at the highest levels here, so it feels like I should be able to move things, but I’m evidently not persuasive enough. A good fraction of the things I complain about eventually turn my way after a year or two passes and evidence piles up, but I have never been able to kill stupid things before they cause damage, or set a direction and have a team actually stick to it. I think my influence at the margins has been positive, but it has never been a prime mover.”

Imagine getting John Carmack on your project and ignoring him. Like, what was the point? Zuck got lucky in the beginning and was cut throat enough to hold on to it, but he has no entrepreneurial talent.

Oh no, they told a Friend Group B joke around Friend Group A.

They should just become a contributor to Heroic.

No kidding.

Vanity Fair, By Marie Brenner, September 1, 1990, https://archive.is/OQYan

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
