To be fair, if I had more than $1M, I wouldn’t introduce myself to neighbors.

My biggest pet peeve is with HTML 5. There is no reason on Earth that a website should know if I’m using an adblocker; HTML 5 makes it so. No reason a website should be able to find my home address, even through a VPN; again HTML 5. The list goes on.

Everyone gushes over how great open-source is and how it’s going to save everything. HTML 5 is totally open, but it was hijacked by Google. They made it so complex and obfuscated that no one can implement a fully compliant browser without relying on Google code.

I remember when nobody associated with Optimus was a billionaire.

I figured it was. Pretty convincing right down to those annoying black sneakers with white soles that tech billionaires seem to love nowadays.

Their motivation is staying away from open platforms, and protecting their members’ IP rights. Gotta thwart those pirates.

AMD is nearly 100x the size of Valve, and they couldn’t get HDMI 2.1 approval on Linux. Nvidia somewhat has it with their proprietary drivers, but not nouveau.

At least one person got the joke. 😁

“We need to develop a one universal standard that covers everyone’s use cases.”

For me, it’s that he put profits over people. https://decentfoot.com/how-many-people-died-over-michael-jordan-basketball-shoes/

Sneaker related violence was a big deal a few decades ago in the US, and Air Jordans were at the center of it. He apologized plenty for it, but never actually changed anything.

Shaq and Stephon Marbury were big NBA stars, but they sell their shoes for like $25, because they don’t want to fuck people over.

I know, right? I made a typo in my post - that bathroom is right next to where the dining table would be.

I’m a bachelor, and I guess it’s fun having room to walk around, play with RC cars and stuff, but it seems impractical for families.

Fair enough. I do see people install TVs above their fireplace of their own free will. They just see other people doing it and think “that’s what I want!”

What’s bullshit about content creators? I enjoy watching documentaries from The History Channel or The Learning Channel. If someone does a bunch of research and self-publishes a documentary, they’re somehow less valid?

The article isn’t about anybody “making money off the fediverse”. It’s about finding a way to make the fediverse viable, considering that everybody wants to use it, but nobody wants to donate.

Thanks for bringing it up. Nobody likes to talk about money in the Fediverse, but it’s a fact of life.

I’ve stopped making Peertube videos lately mainly because I got tired of donating. We’ve got to come up with a better solution.

Thanks. When I was thinking of it, he was the first one that came to mind.

I can’t verify that it’s original, but I’ve never seen it before.

Yeah, I’ve got my own pump too. Great purchase.

In warm weather, it might last all summer. In the winter, I can go maybe 3 months before the low pressure warning comes on. I’ll get new valve stems next time I get tires. For some reason, that hadn’t really occurred to me.

I hate that. My car has a leaky back tire. It’s been like that since I bought it, and continued after I replaced all the tires.

It’s a lonely life, the life of a meme maker. We stand with you brother(or other).
