This is the only correct answer.

It’s easy to get on and it works just like Twitter. People don’t even need to understand what Federation is to get up and running on the platform.

I’ve had one for years, use it often and honestly didn’t know it had an app until today.

I honestly didn’t know there was an app and use mine a few times a month.

He offered Twitter more money than the company was worth with no due diligence.

The leadership of the board could have been sued by shareholders if they didn’t push Elon to actually pay over market value.

The end goal of any for profit leadership is to make as much money as possible and exit.

Any recommendations for PoE cameras?

They’re just going to order whatever they like anyways.

It requires personally identifying information to login. That’s a hard pass for menu people.

Still might be. It’s a $3500 device. Just because it’s getting press doesn’t mean it’s going to be successful.

There’s a great NPR podcast about this.

The Gecko effect.

I much prefer the trickle of releases to a lump season dump.

It allows time to digest, discuss and catch up throughout the release schedule if you’re invested in the story. You can convince your friends to watch a few episodes to catch up and then watch the end of the season together. You can read fan theories online, formulate your own, and overall each weekly episode can result in a lot of engaging fun interactions.

With a series dump you have to binge it and wait for others to do the same in order to talk about it. The whole time you’re actively avoiding spoilers from friends/coworkers and avoiding reading about it online. The end result is you disengage from the fandoms/communities while you are getting through the show, which to me takes a lot of the fun out of a big show.

I compare the difference between Stranger Things and GoT. To me these are probably two of the most significant pop-culture releases in the last decade or so.

Game of Thrones resulted in hundreds of thousands of theories every week online and in public. T-Shirts were made based on popular online theories that never panned out in season. You would rag on friends who guessed the plot twist wrong and deify those who got their predictions spot on. Especially in my demographic the two months GoT was on was all about GoT.

Stranger Things on the other hand, while still wildly popular hits differently. It’s much more of a build up to release, a week or two of “man that was awesome” followed by “I hope they make the next season soon.” Retroactive discussions happen for a while, but the discussions and the hype fizzles much more quickly.

If I want to watch a trickle release show in one dump, I still can, I just wait until the whole season out, reactivate the subscription. Then I binge it.

For me it’s much more fun to have an episode or two a week and build momentum through a season than it is to set off a one time firework.

Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.

Right!? Palworld is just the game players have been begging for for a decade.

They tore down most of the mall. It’d be nice for them to do something on the abandoned lot of rubble.

Sports media all around is still heavily invested in Twitter and has shown no signs of even looking at alternate platforms.

Pranks can 100% be harmless and fun, but if you’re ever questioning whether or not a prank is harmless don’t do it.

Basically everything Just for Laughs does is gold. You can spend hours watching their videos.

I go for a variation of this if a coworker leaves their computer unlocked when they leave for lunch or the day.

Screenshot their whole desktop, hide all icons and the toolbar. Set the background to the screenshot. Boom a computer that looks exactly the same as before but doesn’t work.

Quick, non permanent, takes a few minutes to work out, lesson learned to not leave your machine unlocked.

Especially because he could have bought it for so much less.

Never ascribe to malice what can be ascribed to stupidity.

It also wasn’t really successful before he came in either. It rarely was profitable and usually operated at a loss.

I mean Musk has seemingly made every bad move imaginable, I can only imagine the ideas he’s been talked out of.
