He’s being handed the keys to a government position allowing him to make decisions that will impact American lives, potentially with impacts to others as well; for the first time ever caring about what he thinks is actually wise.

Yeah this is still true as far as I know. Honestly this is probably what allowed BS to gain a foothold; I like mastodon too but asking new users to pick a server was always going to be a source of adoption friction.

Well we need to Fill The Swamp right?

The Manhattan Project? Really? We’re just openly comparing Trump initiatives to wartime efforts to create weapons of cataclysmic power? An initiative that changed global politics by further pushing it into fear?

Putting all that aside, a project that would have cost $27 BILLION dollars today? That’s “government efficiency”?

It’s so stupid I can’t even find it funny.

I imagine it’s probably part of the x-carriage, but if you download the assembly instructions pdf you can walk through it to find the part and it will label it for you.

No kidding, I had a brief moment where I hated him slightly less but then I remembered all the tangible harm he has done and it went away.

“F*** unity… We have the votes. And they tried to kill Trump,” he said in another expletive-laden post, referring to Democrats.

Is someone going to tell him?

I love this. Full stop.

We need more clean, minimal design like this across the web.

Yeah I’ve been a Kagi subscriber since they opened up. My normal usage is perplexity when I want details about a topic summarized and Kagi when I am looking for a website.

Kagi also has some ethical concerns; like a shitty attitude towards compromises to support human safety (refusing to add suicide prevention links comes to mind) but the perplexity guy just took it to another level.

I assume that they’re still benefiting from your use via analytics and training data.

Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.

The vitriol over this topic is humorous. We charge our phones and watches daily, nobody is losing their minds over that. However, asking for the mouse to be plugged in one night a month is outlandish and absurd.

The best part is that this minor issue overshadows the real issue: the ergonomics are terrible. I have large hands and simply can not hold onto the thing properly. Narrow and flat is poor design for something you need to get a grip on to slide around.

Did I even watch the movie which hasn’t come out yet? I’m pretty sure I know which of us is a bot.

No.

Bring back my hopeful vision of the future Star Trek, I’m all done with this new wave.

You’re welcome.

It’s probably wise to simply ignore the drama. Open source seems to invite this at the “top” for whatever reason, but for the casual user there is usually little to no impact.

Unless you’re trying to be a top contributor to nix, I would just carry on with normal usage and all the current drama will blow over.
