slimebot80··on Will Tesla Do a Phone? Yes, Says Morgan Stanley
I really love the gusto from Elon around this.

Jumps right in criticizing Apple Int while clearly demonstrating he didn't listen or read anything at any detail.

Or, more likely, he's fueled by jealousy towards Sam.

So if this drives him to be over confident towards building a phone ... that's funny.

Elon is talking out his arse as usual.
slimebot80··on Everything about Mars is the worst (2017)
The Americas have trees, meat, rivers, oxygen, grasslands, forests, birds.

Your comparison is WAY more terrible than my own.

A mission to a dusty rock while your own beautiful planet is dying is a weird way to help a tech bro claim more tax resources for himself.

That's the ocean, not the lands of abundance they connected us to.

slimebot80··on Starship's Fourth Flight Test [video]
Yes! my point exactly. Amazing how these posts are stifled and disappear quickly. Yet, multiple culture warrior / dogecoin accounts posting a spacex rocket photo gets pumped into my timeline.

Sure both projects have their own potentials and use cases.

My comment is more about how Twitter is misused.

On HN, yes. My point is about Musk's news service that he promotes as vastly superior.
slimebot80··on Starship's Fourth Flight Test [video]
Not my point. Both are relevant to people and only one is considered "news".

This will be crammed into my Twitter feed relentlessly.

Unlike today's successful Boeing launch, which wasn't in the feed or any trending topics whatsoever.

Twitter is only a news source for topics with benefits.

slimebot80··on Boeing Starliner launches first crewed mission
Funny, on Twitter I've clicked through to every "For You", "Trending", "News", etc section.

It's not mentioned once.

I always see majestic rocket photography promoted on Twitter.

Why not today?

I thought Twitter was the worlds #1 news source.

slimebot80··on macOS Bartender Auto-Update Signed by Unknown New Owner
So the issue here is the screen recording?

And that this app is popular with people in tech?

Would a Little Snitch block cover the risk for some?

I sometimes wonder about all the homebrew stuff devs use....

slimebot80··on Merging Remix and React Router
If you are happy with one version you can just stick to it?

You don't have to update your phone and laptop every year, even if you are made to feel so.

WWDC may reveal a new momentum. Or they might reveal exciting new sticker packs for Messages.app
slimebot80··on New iPad pro M4 would make more sense with macOS
WWDC might reveal some innovations to give us a path for iPads to merge into useful laptops.

Or they might reveal exciting new sticker packs for Messages.app

slimebot80··on Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, a.k.a. "Masonry" layout
Is there any examples of server-side rendering that pre-determines a masonary layout for the content?

Like: Given these images, and this window size, here's a calculated layout to make them all look nice...

I figure this would be more performant than any type of JS polyfill

slimebot80··on Tesla starts shipping $3k Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled
His brain didn't do the rocket science or the EV engineering.

He's an investor who knows a bit of science, and is able to inspire people - which translates to money.

Inspiring people is a great skill and it could have been great for everyone to have that central push. But the many years of grifting has been exposed now, so maybe he feels like he's got nothing to loose.

Wordle isn't an original game. The game mechanics pre-existed before the inter webs.
slimebot80··on OpenAI and Elon Musk
Musk is blabbering like a broken fountain on Xitter shrug

Xitter is the #1 source of facts, so - Can't blame them for counter balancing a little.
