I'm about to release a not so smart AR Headset. Super light, It won't generate fake TV screens or give information like the apple vision pro, but it will just be tinted to help bright sunlight be less bright. Still brainstorming what to call this low tech VR/AR technology.

Won't track your health, Won't prevent aids. May make you invisible to the seen realm, and draw the attention of unseen beings.

If I were to guess, and question the existance of standing, my bet is musk was a bidder when infowars was put for sale. My guess is possibly the families themselves objected and asked the court to take a lower bid, that would do what they actually cared about (Create counter messaging to his blowhard conspiracy theories).

I mean obviously depends on the god... but if we are going with the judeo christian god. He does a lot of insane things for very little.

Floods the earth for being evil

Kids mock a bald man... God sends a pack of bears to kill them.

Woman turns around and glances at her home town being destroyed, turned to salt.

Quite simply god of the old testament bible is pretty all over the place on what he'll punish large swaths of people for. Though while I'd note he didn't worry much on collateral damage. He didn't miss his targets (IE... sure I could see the god of the bible letting a hurricane kill millions in the bible belt on it's way to hit LA or New York... but doesn't seem those storms have a great track record of reaching the people they think god wants to punish.

Would be nice if they could at least blame god. They'd rather blame drag queens for upsetting god.

Agreed there, but I'd say wait until there's an actual person discovered. Anonymous notes left by criminals... aren't trustworthy sources. It could be by someone that is protesting isreal.... or it could be by someone that believes all Palestinians are terrorists, and wants everyone else to believe it too.

Course either way, doesn't matter, it's one crazed person or group, and we can't let him speak for anyone of a whole no matter how much we dislike the other side.

Honestly I'm at the point where I just don't know which way minimizes casualties. I feel like it's like trying to calculate if the nukes in WW2 saved more lives than they cost.

Stopping facism seems off the table. If something manages to moderate it, it may kill less per year, but may last decades longer.

Letting it run without rails it may kill millions, may start a war, but it might collapse on itself sooner.

IMO the real mystery is, did the people who had the spine to say no to trump in 2016-2020... part of why he got elected again... if trump had say been allowed to launch a nuke into a hurricane, would he have been able to make his comeback.

We need a bank account check on him.

Because growth... Without the R&D money, Microsoft or Yahoo, or someone else would have figured out how to do what they do faster/better, waited until google was a forgotten name and then enshittified.

Public trading... it's capitalism. By law you have to try and extort every penny.

Quite true... I suppose that's also the problem of the networks that are focused at privacy/control nerds first, and trying to get more mainstream users second.

The suggested follow is the types of features we are afraid of... The developers came to these places because they don't want to be told what to do... IE literally that's the exact problem with twitter right now, is Musk is personally shoving his right wing crap in our faces whether we want to look at it or not. But what regular people want... is to have crap shoved in their faces that they like and agree with.

Which I suppose development of mastadon and the like just hadn't reached the point, we go at minimum viable, and get what you specifically are looking for... with a lack of excitement for trying to use algorythms to tell people what they like.

Was going to say, why wouldn't it be the USA.

Competition is... well about competitive. A unilateral Tariff hurts everyone equally.

So if China was selling batteries to the US at $4

Taiwan was selling them at $3.90

You slap a $2 tarrif on both countries.

China raises the price to $6 to compensate, Taiwan to $5.90, Both countries make the same profit per battery sold. Unless there happens to be a US company that can make the batteries at $5 (not likely as we don't currently have the infrastructure, and a lot of products are dependent on natural resources that we just don't have).
