Another classic example where the upper echelons of a company look at spreadsheets more than they use their own damn product. SMH

RIP to the GOAT

I am embarrassed how long it took me to get this xD

Like I’d fully disengaged from my computer to eat dinner then came running back up the stairs

They are asserting dominance. When in doubt, it’s always that.

Yeah I caught that too. That makes it a pro for personal computers and a con for data centers heheh

I had to really work with it to find a handful that actually showed video. Even then, they’re hit and miss, sometimes requiring pings to remind them that I exist.

Then you get to the throttling…

Totally agree. Sitting there watching in the theatre was the best unexpected cinematic pleasure ever. Just sheer jaw dropping wide eyed fascination.

And if I wasn’t sold on Signal I am now.

LOL I feel called out and seen at the same time. One of us!

I just love that we can sit here in the fediverse and talk about it without one or the other getting banned. I guess I’m old school first amendment.

I applaud you, I really do. You’ve shown an awareness of the world as it is that many young people don’t seem to have; even as they’ve been inundated with information that might inform them that THIS IS A TRAP!

I don’t fault them, though, because much of that inundation also tells them that if they just ‘apply here for $$’ they’ll be fine and as a kid I know which truth I’d like to believe. My own husband, who is frighteningly bright at all matters other than finance, fell for those same lies.

The truth is that a parent needs to help their kids navigate the “D&D full of monsters dungeon” to take advantage of the build that makes one successful… and while it can be done it’s just ‘nightmare difficulty’. If you can play through this, the rest of life gets a hell of a lot easier.

If you can’t, you’re gonna have to rely on politicians to ‘make things right’. What’s the likelihood of that in this day and age?

@Gingeybook I’d like to posit that you could profit from educating others. Just throwing that out there.

It’s Master Blaster!

Now we get the one drive bullshit that means your desktop can be in multiple locations

Well, I’ve started a magazine on kbin that seems parallel in goal if not going to far as tracking Musk’s jet. @eatherich
