This isn’t a logo. It’s a cry for help from a severely distressed mind.

I got curious and did the math if $44B was denominated in $100 bills.
That’s 496.85 cubic kilometers of cash. Or a pile of money that covers half of the continental US, stacked 1/4 of the height of Low Earth Orbit.
I honestly don’t think one could physically burn that much cash since May 2022 in real life.
Edit: more mind bogglery!
The earth is ~40,000 km in circumference, so you could stack the bills almost 28m high around the equator (or circle the globe 256,482 times.)
Are you saying “crassholes” or “assholes”
Then why are they even still there?
Sunk cost fallacy or misplaced hope are other options outside of Napoleon complex.
And it feels so good! I hated how breaking in to the mobi files wrecked the formatting.
It’s understandable that they wouldn’t know much about other countries’ history. Sad… but I get it. Public education is slipping worldwide.
What’s bothered me about discussion online for the last 10-15ish years (and it gets worse every year) is that people feel the urgent need to opine strongly on shit they don’t understand - and that bluntly pointing that out is somehow frowned upon.
I long for the days when it was kosher for everyone to just tell them to shut the fuck up until they were ashamed enough to delete or recant.

Anyway… Buongiorno!
Sys admins are already worked to death, so anything that can be done to simplify makes perfect sense.
Appreciate the correction! I haven’t dealt with Amazon for e-books since I got my first Kobo reader 5-6 years ago, so I’m out of the loop.
Especially on mobile. News sites are legit impossible to use, let alone tolerate.
Which is why it boggles my mind that every company I have worked for uses it as the stock alternative to Edge over Firefox.
Kobo consistently makes better products overall, but the ability to avoid Amazon (and the nonsense that comes from their proprietary format) is priceless.
In a lot of ways, the fascism that Italy invented never left. I had hopes 20-30 years ago, but they have been roundly dashed.
Bingo. Enshittification is mostly confined to companies that have gone public or whose sole aspiration is to do so quickly.
It shifts responsibility from satisfying customers/users to satisfying shareholders (who are never satisfied).
You can build the perfect product and ride a gravy train as a private company in relative perpetuity. As a corporation, you’re just going to strive for perpetually increasing profits on a quarterly basis with no real care or focus past that
Agreed. I would much rather see fewer posts than bot content. A human OP is going to engage in conversation, and is also likely able to provide more context on the topic of their OP.
I’ve taken to blocking obvious bots (extremely high post:comment ratio) to keep the same feel as the fediverse had since “rexit”.
Ignore it, friend. Nothing really matters except what matters to you.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I realized a long time ago that worrying about it is a waste of… everything.
Being online makes communication very simple (for good or for ill), but it also grants you magic powers: You can make people disappear forever at the tap of your finger.
You have more important shit to think about. I’m sure of it.
You’re not arguing in good faith. Full stop.
And on which timeline? Nuclear power has come a LONG way since 3MI, let alone Chernobyl.
One human has died from failures of a modern nuclear plant in the last 15 years.
I don’t know the stats, but it’s quite likely that a non-zero number techs have died servicing and installing the wind facilities.
In which case, they’re about even - or wind is worse. But in the grand scheme, it’s a non issue either way.
Can’t just have a royal rumble. You’re going to need to iterate ALL of the flavors into factions if you want a war.
I vote everyone vs Arch (btw)
