That's some real cognitive dissonance between the anti-Semitic and the racist parts of her brain.

Yup, the entire culture of Google has nearly changed. It used to be coder- and innovation-driven, and open-source was a natural thing to support. Make more money by growing the pie, creating markets with new tech.
Now it seems it's middle managers and MBAs calling the shots, and their strategy is generic business zero-sum mindset - lock down, restrict, extract. They still see the PR value in open-source, but that's it.
Just becoming 1990s Microsoft or 1980s IBM.
You're right, and I hope the people near this guy do that - just like I hope we all, if we confront this situation, act like human beings with empathy, to be better than them.
For this, though, on the internet where this guy will never see it, some schadenfreude is totally in order.
The Xitter post cheering the speech caught my attention, so I clicked through to the X user, "iAnonPatriot" and just have to say, wow.
It starts off with his bio image being literal hands goatse'ing through the virtual Matrix grid, and it only gets worse from that level of basic. Just a red-pill Nazi fever dream in feed form. 610K followers.
Videos of protestors getting abused are his favorite, apparently. One top one is police firing gas into apparently peaceful protestors. The protestor kicks it back, walks back and is just standing there doing nothing threatening, and then apparently gets shot with a rubber(?) bullet and lies motionless for a moment before someone picks him up and he walks off. The caption this guy gave is "HOLY SH*T Perfect shot.. 🤣🤣🤣". Anti-LGBTQ posts feature as well. General concentrated bile into a convenient feed.
So I guess this "influencer" is what Gen Z is getting fed by algorithms and told is normal day-in and day-out?
It's always impressive when the leopard is mid-face-eat, they acknowledge the face eating is happening, and they make sure to say they don't have regrets.
The Tech CEO Bubble is real and one of the most harmful, even if it doesn't get talked about like our respective political bubbles, geographical bubbles, etc. I believe he was actually that deluded that people were as hyped about AI replacing workers as he was.
Never have I saved a GIF so fast.
Stylophone is very nice. The abrasive overtones are an acquired taste, but I've acquired it. It has a nice, rounded sound while not being generic like a sine wave.
Sometimes I do it for comments, and it's just because I don't really like what I wrote. I read it and it's just banal, and I'm like, "you're not moving the discourse forward at all."
What annoys me are people who did that to thousands of their posts after leaving Reddit. They're their posts, they have the right to do it, but I'm like, c'mon, Reddit isn't suffering from it. They're selling the data for the same price with or without, and they have all the backups. No, all the users who are googling a one-place-on-the-Internet solution to their extremely specific problem are suffering.
I think that's like getting angry at your boss and taking it out on your family.
Sure, why not? I hear Russia is extremely drug-use-positive and cultivates oligarchs who don't submit to authority.
Ah, the grand circle of enshittification.
The article says an iOS app was released to testers.
