  • This app once sparked social changes and political revolutions. People used it to hold the guilty people accountable.

    Then Elon bought it with funding from Saudia Arabia and a few others.

    Then he made all the cartoonishly wrong changes. Now the app is dying.

    It doesn’t feel like incompetence to me. It feels like the app was murdered by the rich and the powerful for whom 44B isn’t that big of a deal.

    I want ad free YouTube but don’t want YouTube music. I don’t want to pay for extra shit that I won’t be using.

    I use Spotify way more than I use YouTube. Spotify does one thing and it does it extremely well.

    If Spotify added unlimited free Uber eats delivery tomorrow and bumped up the price to $20 a month, then sure, it’d be a good deal but I wouldn’t want any of that.





  • That’s not even all of the bullshit.

    In every other mouse the sensor is at the center of the body. On magic mouse the sensor is at the front under your fingers as you can see in the OP thumbnail.

    That makes it very hard to adapt to when you’re coming off of other mice. When you’re moving the mouse you better not slightly rotate it out of habit and ergonomics because the cursor will move weird.

    I really tried giving it a shot because I like apple gestures. They work fabulously well on the trackpad. The magic mouse is garbage in every category really.




  • Feeding the starving is mutually exclusive especially when you can subsidize farmers. Farmers make a terrible wage it wouldn’t even be expensive to pay them off for free grain, cattle etc…

    This is starting to feel like a troll because no one can be this dense or uninformed.

    Farms and crops are heavily subsidized. The reason farmers are in a bind is not because of subsidies, it’s because of conglomerates and predatory business practices by them.

    I won’t even reply to the second paragraph because it’s a word soup written by AI.

    Please, for the love of god, do a bit of reading, learn logic and fallacies before coming into public forums to debate.


  • No one wants a rocket program.
    

    This is why I mentioned the importance of funding education earlier. You have tunnel vision because you either didn’t attend school, didn’t pay attention while there or simply had a very poor curriculum.

    Feeding the starving and doing everything else aren’t mutually exclusive. The reason why we aren’t feeding the hungry is not because we are launching rockets into space.

    Space programs and NASA has contributed a lot of technologies that we use in our everyday life. It made our lives easier, safer and has opened up more economic opportunities. If you are generating more money, more jobs, more services then it’s easier to have extra money for social services.

    $2,000,000,000 to Elon this past year
    

    At this point it feels like you have comprehension issues, because me and several other people have already explained to you in detail that NASA isn’t donating money to Elon.
