He was a white collar working class guy. His work history is full of positions at various tech companies working as an engineer. It doesn’t appear that he was handed any sort of dynasty.
He was upper class, and he had better opportunities than your average American, but he was still a worker.
Maybe his family did, but judging by his work history, he wasn’t personally wealthy enough to be owning a country club.
If he was “owns a country club” rich, his work history would mostly just say “Owner and CEO of whatever country club”.
There’s no reason to work any sort of normal job if you have that kind of income rolling in.
Here here. I’m poor as shit, got no insurance whatsoever, 60k would be somewhat life changing for me. I would never ever squeal on a comrade like that, even for millions.
No way that he personally had more money than the CEO, from just looking at his work history. Maybe his whole family has more money than the CEO, but if we compared whole families against each other, the CEOs family would still come out on top.
This was my thought process, too. If they got a framed guy here, the actual CEO killer would likely or hopefully do something else to let the public know that they were still out there.
I think you misunderstand how money is made off of these kind of things. Companies like TikTok, and YouTube make money by showing you ads and collecting data on you to sell.
A federated app, like this one we are talking about, is ad free, open source, and does not collect data on it’s users for resale. Video hosting costs a lot of money, so unless users are willing to donate to keep it up and running, it will quickly run out of server space to host videos.
Lawyers will be honest or dishonest, just depending on what’s best for the person who is paying them. Their jobs are dependent on getting good outcomes for their clients, so they can most definitely be trusted if you are the one paying them.
Yea, I’m a millenial, and I remember mostly only interacting with old Macintosh LCs in elementary school, and then Windows 95 and up after that. My uncle had an old Tandy computer running DOS, that I remember at least learning how to run a game on, but by the time I was interacting with a computer, regularly, Windows 95 and AOL were the most common thing.
Usenet is awesome, but the fact that you have to pay for Usenet access defeats the main purpose of pirating for a lot of people.
Don’t get me wrong, it is super cheap(60$-100$/year?) and worth it to pay for Usenet from what I understand, but as a poor kid that discovered torrenting out of necessity, paying for Usenet back then would’ve been out of the question. I imagine a lot of Gen Z kids feel the same about it at this point in their lives.

It’s weird to root for a multi billion dollar corporation, especially Nintendo, even if you think Palworld is in the wrong.
I can agree that IP theft can be dumb in some cases, and Palworld is cutting it pretty close there. Nintendo sues everyone, though, even for the pettiest of reasons, and this kind of behavior shouldn’t be encouraged.
Palworld isn’t actually putting a dent in Nintendo’s bottom line. Nintendo is just litigious against everybody, including their own fans, so of course they are going to sue a competitor.
I don’t why you are so downvoted. Your comment didn’t come off as shilling for Snapchat or anything, and it just clarifies things for people who only read the headline. I appreciate the clarification.
This is still an invasion of privacy, but not quite as egregious as using people’s faces in global advertisements. Obligatory fuck Snapchat, regardless.
They sell these at Walmart, too. It really only requires a chance sighting of it and a couple weeks allowance for a young teen or kid to end up with one of these cheap smartphones.
I should have put a /s because the comment about aesthetic over readability was sarcastic. I was just joking, and I definitely agree with you.
Oh, I see now. I’m dumb. I didn’t realize this just brings up random URLs to web 1.0 pages. Thanks for pointing that out!
I have found that local banks like credit unions, and such, seem to have nicer mobile apps from my experience.
I have worked as a software engineer for a smaller bank like this, and the development was a lot more honest. These kind of banks normally just want a pleasant user experience for their customers, unlike bigger banks that want to deploy all sorts of dark patterns to collect user data and sell extra stuff to their customers.
That white text on gray background. What a design choice.
Aesthetic > readability. The user can just select all on the page if they want to actually read it, right?
Edit: It was pointed out to me that this brings up a random URL every time someone clicks it, so everybody is not seeing the same thing. Whoops.
That’s fair and I can agree. I don’t use Brave, but for everything I’ve heard about it, it sounds pretty competent. The team behind Brave doesn’t deserve to suffer, and the hatred should be to Eich, himself, not Brave as a whole.
Brendan Eich should be blacklisted in the tech world. It’s really too bad that they partnered with a bigot and his shitty company.
When I was younger, I thought Brendan Eich was a god for creating JavaScript and his contributions to web development. Then he started to speak about his personal views, and he instantly went from a god to an evil villain to me.
How can somebody so smart be so dumb and evil at the same time?
Also worked there. There is no McDonald’s that has ever allowed tips. It’s against their corporate rules. I even saw an employee get written up for accepting a tip, once.
