I think you call his bluff, play chicken with him. See what he comes up with as his terms to the agreement, read the contract, have lawyers check it for loopholes and it they find one, sign the deal and exploit it.

Then donate the money to another foundation.

At some point I’d be willing to bet he would back down and not follow through, but anybody that is in a position to call him on his bullshit should do it

My problem with all of it is, they’ve built that shit into the browser. That means baked into the browser, it is watching what I’m doing and doing things on its own based on what I do.

It leaves the door open for them to bother me/phone home anytime I do something that isn’t in their interests. Are they going to add in similar things for me looking for windows, office, GitHub, or Xbox alternatives?

I wonder if you could make a context aware sorting system for files. Like if there are a handful of files all similarly named, it could check for sequential numbers and roman numerals and spelled out numbers and just sort them that way.

I think the original quote was something along the lines of, “the customer is always right, in mattera of taste”. Meaning to accommodate the customers wishes, even if it’s ugly or a bad idea or whatever. Like if they want to paint their house pink with green trim, let them

The difference is Twitter is a private company, and Tesla is public. Meaning he is free to run Twitter into the ground because at the end of the day, it’s his to do as he pleases. But with Tesla, he has to ultimately answer to the share holders, if he starts running amok of the company, they can vote to give him the boot and he can’t really do anything about it.

Is it really the sloppiest though?

I’d say its about on par with their past games. It’s clearly their game engine, modified to do space stuff.

If you come at it with the mindset that not every game has to get bigger and more expansive and have more and more realism/mechanics that don’t serve the core gameplay, it achieves it’s goal.

Not saying its game of the year material or anything, but if I was doing an employee review, I’d give it a meets expectations grade.

You do know that thin film clear “plastic” isn’t actually plastic right? Most of that is cellophane, which is made from plants and is biodegradable.

Um, professor umbridge from Harry Potter. She’s basically an asshole just to be one.

The other ones all have some sort of justification to their shittyness. Jenny was abused, Vader was a literal slave that was taken advantage of by both the Jedi and palpatine. The joker has literal mental issues.

Umbridge was straight up a child abuser with no remorse or tragic back story. She harmed kids while enjoying it and drinking tea.

No. The Internet just seems more liberally slanted because people are more liberally slanted overall. Conservatives rely on outdated voting principles to make it seem like they are more widely supported than they actually are. Things like first past the post, electoral college and gerrymandering. This is why you see republicans fighting to either keep the voting process the way it is, or to restrict voting in various ways.

Also, conservatives feel like the Internet is more slanted to the left because they are usually stuck in their little rural community echo chamber. Then come to the internet where they actually have to interact with people outside their local area, like cities and other countries.

Lol, yeah. Everyone I talk to about my car instantly becomes a weekend road tripper, like they are constantly going on thousand mile road trips to the middle of nowhere where there aren’t any charging stations.
