⁊. I grew up speaking Irish fluently (it’s all but gone now) and never knew of this symbol.
50 mad keyboards. I’m a mechanical keyboard weirdo, so this thread was fascinating.
BactoInk. 3d printable bacteria with a wide range of potential uses.
Twitter lays off even more staff. Tech doesn’t die off with the flick of a switch. It slowly drowns in a sea of tech debt and mismanagement.
Train derailment in the US will be a disaster. US politics is so self-serving it’s mind-numbing to read about or consume anything about it. It’s so mind-blowing to think that no one is representing the people. And the people were duped into voting and supporting for measures that would wind up harming them, only to also have voted for the very people that would ensure nothing would ever provide a safety net for them.
China sees Starlink as a threat. We really need to stop allowing private companies to have unfettered access to the skies. We can see with Elon that it’s a bad idea to trust these people.
The economics behind bad cooking. I’ve long argued that my parents (and their generation) cooked terrible fish, despite living on an island. Economics is why.
VC-backed startups will struggle over the next 12-18months. VC money is drying up, and most startups have about a years’ worth of runway. Profitability at all costs will be the message, and most won’t make it. 2008 will look like a dream comparatively.
Noting when a post is old. Good point, well made. People can change their opinions, perspectives and think differently over the course of time. Drudging an old post, even a few months old, to brow-beat someone, just isn’t fair when their thoughts change. This is particularly true of people in the public eye.
Don’t ban TikTok. This is a bit silly, from my perspective. Instead of lobbying for a private companies’ existence, lobby for better data protection laws in the US.
