  • 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.


  • This is how I know you didn’t read the article.

    BK did cut the supply chain logistics. It’s mentioned in the article.

    Sue the franchisees? Where? In Russia? In the middle of an economic war with the west? Even if the suit proceeded for some reason, who do you expect the court to rule in favor of?

    BK did everything to severe ties. The only thing that remains is to sell their share of the franchise. If they sell now (even if they find a buyer), they likely won’t be paid in anything other than rubles which is useless.






  • 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.
