  • sure nvidia is being a shitty and greedy public corp capitalizing on a massive tech bubble… stock price has to go up forever. nothing surprising here…

    but jensen huang has been at the helm of nvidia for a long time the entire existence of nvidia and is undeniably a smart MF’er… and i’m not even some kind of nvidia fanboy.

    AMD for life… and dr. lisa su is even smarter than cousin jensen. i just hope she doesn’t come out as a trump bootlicker as well






  • I’m simply sharing my own experience. It’s not a “shot in the dark”

    There would likely be fewer signal users because a lot of normies only installed signal because one or two of their friends convinced them to. Once they figure out that interOp exists, why would they keep using signal (where only 2 or 3 of their paranoid weirdo friends hang out) when they could just use whatsapp to talk with their signal friends?

    Ive had multiple people tell me that they only keep signal around because of me… While i’m flattered, it doesnt bode well for signal.


  • People trying Signal because it’s compatible with WhatsApp that everybody uses would lead to more Signal-to-Signal chats, and that’s a good thing.

    75% of my signal contacts would delete signal and just use whatsapp if interOp happened… I’ve already slowly lost 1 or 2 contacts a year because i’m the only one they know on signal and they either gave up or forgot to reinstall when they got a new phone




  • Private entities have the right to decide what is or is not acceptable content on their platforms

    Exactly. Not sure why people have this expectation that facebook is some kind of serious platform that should be held to some high journalistic standard

    It was a website for rating girls. It’s always been a joke website. People should be free to post whatever offensive and non-factual nonsense they want there (and its related subsidiaries)

    If your entire life is so deeply entwined with facebook that you cant leave, and you demand that they only allow nice content, that’s a YOU problem.

    This is not a defense of facebook. This is me saying facebook is shit, it’s ALWAYS been shit. Just walk away

    serious question. is it pretentious to use the “real” name of a place instead of it’s english name? i’m not talking about pronunciation, but when english people decide to come up with a completely different, name for foreign places

    like, “i visited milano, torino, and firenze this summer” instead of “milan, turin, and florence”
