That sentence kind of makes the rest of it moot, though? Everyone knows HEVC and AV1 on bare (unaccelerated hardware) is rough even on modern machines.

What's this company? Do they make anything of use? Or just take refined goods and irreversibly destroy them?

The point Graeber makes is that bullshit jobs are a thin excuse to continue to give people money where otherwise there may not actually be productive labor to be done. Nothing works if people don't have money, things get pretty fucked up if those at the top have it all, so we sort of slid into this situation of people having pointless jobs just to receive some distribution. This keeps things roughly the same and no one really questions what's going on a lot.

This guy seems to hear "bullshit jobs" and simply think "people who I don't think are useful". Graeber's is a critique of the economic order, this guy seems to be beholden to it.

The operators of Anna's know they will go to prison.

"Centrist" in America is just "far-right but doesn't talk about it very loudly"

Are you a plural person? Or is this a team? What's with the plural pronouns? Again, I do wish there were less style here.

This is written with what feels like the peak understanding of my kid's school's IT department: "well, they're just so smart, we can't find any way of stopping them!"

An allowlist might be a good place to start.

I am, thanks. But also Discourse is so terrible that it should be excluded too.

I could spend time looking for a Facebook ad showing this behavior but instead I’m going to scream at you to stop being so dense and do it yourself.

Hey privacy is really important oh by the way subscribe to us, k?

To not know of any is sort of weird. To believe a for-profit enterprise should replace the last is unspeakably dumb.

Who is the CEO, again? What fall did they take? Must’ve been big to avoid naming them.

It’s not, though

Imagine being as stupid as this

This is incredibly mundane; why is this on the front page?

Google is irresponsible (current, not past tense, is and was always).

Everything after that is fair game.

Amphetamines are great, I fail to see your point.

What shelf? A garage? Detached? A shed? How humid? You may want to resurface and oil that saw after a decade. The wood handle may have rotted, or the plastic one may be gummy. Taking care of tools is how they last.

The point is just you don’t understand how your tools work.

Yes. I cringed so hard I’m wearing my endothelial layer as skin.

Thank god the sort of people who mindlessly seek “cool” stuff to work on in the absence of any kind of ethics seldom have the intelligence, skill, or charm to realize any of their dreams.

Driving has some utility.

Why would this matter in the US?

Run-on sentences, use of "woke"… I think this entire person can be ignored.
