Pls someone make this reality
  • This is the wrong aporoach.

    You should build a mockup site, use it to raise 2M$ for the startup behind it you just created arguing you're about to collect personal data about the age, education level and place, curiosity, etc. with overinflated numbers on their real values.

    Then you hire a bench of students, or better: launch a competition for the best "fact you were told that turned out wrong" with a 1k$ prize that you eventually give to some biz angel's investrent adviser's child.

    Once data are acquired, claim the company is now worth 10M$ and raise that much in a new round.

    Finally, sell the company for 20M$ either to a tech company that will enshitify, paywall and crater it.

    You still don't have your website, but now you're rich and you no longer care about these things.

  • Sovcit got a response.
  • The beauty of it is they seem to mix a bench of definitions and forms they don't understand and assume they can mean whatever sounds convenient to them.

    They quote dictionaries definitions as if they were legally binding to their interpretation.

    Such a mix of abysmal ignorance and supreme confidence is incredible!

  • A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.
  • That's why you get "don't put living animals in the microwave oven" in the instructions.

    If Tesla didn't explicitely wrote "don't put your f***ing finger in the way on purpose after multiple attempts to close it!" he may have a chance.

    He will plead a trauma from the loss of trust in his beloved car brand and the credibility damage on his Youtube channel and ask for M$.

  • Elon Musk hosted an ‘anti-Biden’ dinner party. Here’s who attended
  • Unfortunately, you need to add this about all of us supporting them: "buying the cheapest product over buying the fairest produced", therefore comforting them exploiting labor to reduce the cost is what we collectively want.

  • Sorry commies, capitalists beat you to landlord hate!
  • Make sense. In its inception, capitalism was putting work as the source of value creation. Rental is about asking money while nothing is produced.

    The message is all confusing today because the people talking about the value of hard work are actually the ones who want to get huge returns from investment while paying as little as possible for the work done. Their end goal is to avoid working themeselves. Smith would despise them just the same.

  • Defeated CEOs are now conceding hybrid working is here to stay
  • They're not "defeated". They got exactly what they wanted. People leaving without having to lay them off through attrition.

    Now that they think they have "right-sized" their workforce at no cost, they nicely offer to concede hybrid working to keep the rest of their employees.

  • Microsoft opens a "high priority" bug ticket in ffmpeg, attempting to leech the free labour of the maintainers
  • Alternative answer: "We understand your issue and will fix it as time and priorities allow. Please note that customers paying for support always get higher priority. Given MS contributions to the project, this ticket was ranked 42nd in our priority list.

    Have a pleasant day! FFMPEG support team"

  • Still Unable to Post Bond, Trump Has Most Crazed Meltdown Yet
  • Was he not describing his fundraising as donations so far? You donate money you don't think you need at all. But you should be able to lend money you don't need in the near future. I would bet some of his "loyal" supporters would start to doubt if they were asked to lend too much of what they own.

  • Still Unable to Post Bond, Trump Has Most Crazed Meltdown Yet
  • He should borrow vast amounts of money from his loyal supporters: "Empty your lifetime savings accounts, I promise I'll pay everything back with interests!".

    Then we'll see how much his followers really trust him when they need to put their own future on the line...

  • DoorDash crash rule
  • The flowers were delivered by Doordash The victim arrived in an Uber ambulance.

    The part-time doctor (student) mentioned that the hospital's rooms are now managed by Airbnb.

    250$ of tips were collected along the process, but now it's not clear who pocketed them.

  • I'm working on a distro recommendation flowchart/ list for newcomers and need your input please! (Post is not only this picture btw and is mainly text)
  • I'm sorry if that's harsh, but my feedback would be: drop that chart!

    It's daunting, it's going to freak out many newbies. Too much choice kills the choice.

    You have one "default" at the bottom, Mint, so stick to that. Tell the newbies they can switch anytime to something else once they're a bit more comfortable with the Linux-world. And if I'm not mistaken, you can install and try the main DEs with Mint also. Or you can recommend Ubuntu, or any other newbie friendly distro. Just pick one and don't lose them over what they could see as an important difficult decision before they even get started.

    Reading material for learners?

    I'm using Duolingo to improve my Mandarin and learn to read, and to learn Spanish.

    Does anyone have some recommendations of texts for learners to practice reading?

    My wife suggested me to use kids books, but I'd like a more motivating content than teddy bear's adventures...

    Match Madness only

    So it's been a while now since the leaderboard's challenge is Match Madness every day except on Saturday, when it's the Ramp Up.

    I don't know if it's just me but that's getting me pretty disengaged. I quickly hit my limit on the Match Madness, then it has no interest to me.

    Previously, I would use these challenges on a daily basis, as a way to review past lessons. Damned, I would use them over and over to score high in the leaderboard too.

    Now I've completely lost interest in the leaderboard, but worse: I'm wondering if I'm moving back by lack of practice on past lessons vocabulary and grammar.

    I don't feel like going through some past lessons and pick some randomly. How do you make sure you do pick randomly?

    Am I the only one who thinks that "all Match Madness" thing is a regression?
