Golf isn’t that expensive. Not more expensive than any other hobby to be fair. He makes it expensive because he only plays in his own courses and overcharges the hell out of The White House. What they spend on renting golf carts alone is a fortune. He’s a crook, but he’s so open about it that it really doesn’t affect him. Any other president would be torn to pieces about this, because they likely have shame and would try to hide actions like this. Trump normalizes depravity.

What a fucking shill. I’m downloading this right now.

Yep. Edge for work, Safari for personal.

Look they just don’t actually know how to make money out of it.

My intuition is that they should simply charge $3-5 per month and most users would probably choose it over every else if they prioritize privacy as a part of the sub. But I guess they are too afraid to charge for a browser.

Everything Arc does, Edge does as well. Is just not as pretty .

This is so cyberpunk.

This is probably in preparation for the handheld and the new Xbox which supposedly will be a literal PC. If MS can sell me a PC that performs like the series X and runs Steam for $500 I’m buying it no questions asked.

Damn she didn’t get her tubes tied after plopping out two gremlins? Yeesh.

Edit: simmer down guys, it was a fucking joke.

It’s not a mode of thinking it’s a fact. As of this moment there’s no one who is even close to being a competitor to them. I’m not saying there can’t be one, but there isn’t one right now.

I don’t know, the man is hard to read. I’m extremely cynical and I don’t believe he’s genuine ever, but he gave an interview recently and he did choke up when asked how he was managing to run his companies. I don’t think he’s as good an actor to fake that.

The best conclusion I have arrived is that the man may well be completely self deluded and he might really believe himself the savior of mankind so he needs to get us to mars by any means necessary. Maybe because of the heavy drug use and obvious sleep deprivation, his sense of reality is probably warped. Or maybe the pressure from the Twitter purchase got to him and he broke because that’s when he absolutely went bonkers. He had to overleverage himself in order to do that and he even took money from the saudis.

All in all I don’t expect things to end well for him.

SpaceX and Starlink have no competitors. They’re so far ahead that it’s not even funny. I really wish Elon had just kept his mouth shut and kept working on it without sullying its image. I bet he wishes that too sometimes.

I mean, the rules say that encouraging violence is not accepted. Whether the violence is justified or not does not factor here, it still is encouraging violence so the ban is appropriate.

Great point. Hadn’t thought about that. Maybe that’s why ads don’t bother me? But then again if a website has an rss feeeed that means they consent to serving their content ads free, so I don’t think it contradicts my stance.

But I never said I was against ad blockers anyways, I just said I didn’t use them because I feel it’s a little unfair. I have no intention of passing judgement on those who do use it, it’s up them, and like someone else at the individual level it makes little difference.

I just use Safari and private relay for that. But yeah I can understand that particular point. I mean I’m not against ad blockers, it’s just that I don’t use them for the reasons I stated.

Might I recommend an RSS reader? I use feeeds on iOS, it’s fantastic and 100% percent free.

It’s common knowledge, but here ya go

As far as I can tell it’s correct. It just failed to disclose the sale of PayPal.

If enough people block the ads then that’s a significant hit for publications.

It doesn’t really annoy me though. I guess I have high tolerance. Maybe it’s also because I rarely use YouTube, thats the only place ads have annoyed me and only because they are constant and impossible to ignore.

Thiel, Elon & Co. sold PayPal almost two decades ago. That’s from where they got the money for SpaceX (Thiel is an early investor in SpaceX too).

Ima be honest. I don’t run ad blockers. The way I see it, if I’m consuming content from a given source and that source invested time and/or money into said content then they deserve to be compensated for it. I am not willing to pay a subscription for every website out there, so ads are an acceptable compromise.
