  8. @ai6yr Ben, self-driving cars is just another version of TECH WE DO NOT NEED.

    George Jetson would NOT be amused.

  12. "I’m in this really lucky position where I get to wake up every day and help "serve" :joy_minions: more than a billion people. And I feel like I’m not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about my life, so that way I can dedicate all of my energy towards just building the best products and services." - The Zuck

  13. #WDR4 schafft es nicht einmal, die Playlist(en) in einer dem Jahr 2026 angemessenen und nutzbaren Form auf ihrem gruseligen Webauftritt zu präsentieren.

  14. People these days - whining about "not been able to make friends in the internet anymore" and "fediverse is not like discord - no one is talking to each other", etc. - but if you write to them - you will be blocked right away. Who has also experienced that?

  15. I 100% agree with @yefra about the #subvert #cringe gate. A mix of love and hate, that raises questions we would prefer to ignore. It’s like being in couple therapy with the music industry. musique-journal.fr/2026/06/29/ (it is worth translation).
