TechCrunch has a new owner, again. Yahoo has sold the tech news site to the private equity firm Regent for an undisclosed sum, according to an announcement on Friday.
Regent is the same company that snapped up Foundry, the firm behind outlets like PCWorld, Macworld, and TechAdvisor on Thursday. Founded in 2005, TechCrunchhas experienced many shakeups in ownership after AOL acquired the site in 2010.
Yahoo was owned by Verizon up until 2021, so it shouldn’t too surprising it’s still around.
You might be surprised to learn that people still pay AOL (which was also part of the Verizon purchase/sale) and is part of Yahoo…
Just because the imaginary friends are passing fiat around to each other doesn’t make any of it less delusional. You may as well learn such trivia about Magic the Gathering or the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
You don’t need to be a dick just because they conveyed the reality of the situation to you.
Your handle leads me to believe “Magic the Gathering” or “The Catechism” struck a nerve but search me which… or both?
It didn’t strike a nerve at all. It just seems to me you’re being kind of rude and dismissive to somebody who’s just telling you how things currently are. For instance, I think crypto is a complete fucking waste of time and resources. But if somebody explains why people value it I don’t call the person expounding on the topic delusional
Like your catechism dig. Religious studies is a very important field regardless of whether or not somebody believes in that religion. So knowing about the catechism isn’t useless trivia. That’s a really shitty way to describe someone’s academic pursuit.
You need to think beyond your personal hatred of people who believe these things
Yeah I’m dismissive of it because cultural hegemony matters and that culture is really trashy and founded on delusion. I didn’t ask for commentary. I was trashing fiat culture.
You’re attacking someone for conveying information about a thing that exists.
Openly. You have accurately described my position, despite your requests that I vacate it. 🥰
This kind of behavior is antithetical to Beehaw’s ethos. It’s fine to be dismissive of systems, but ever user here is a person who should be treated with kindness and respect. Please do better in the future.
That’s a bizarre way to operate. Have a good one.
