I definitely agree about the vibe being different in the mid 90s to the early 00s. Lots of passion and energy about the tech. I don’t think it’s all gone but it’s definitely nowhere near as intense.

Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it’s impossible to see it.
I have so many questions.
Thank Jack Welch and Milton Friedman
The thing I find intriguing is what’s going to happen when Trump is no longer around. It’s such a cult of personality and he’s the type of person to suck all the air out of a room. There is no one that will have that kind of impact and it will leave a huge vacuum when he’s no longer around.
Probably defense cross examination
Agreed. M is definitely the sweet spot for tech right now.
I’ve never heard of pigeon management but I have heard something similar described as playing chess with a pigeon as someone who “knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board then struts aroind like they’ve won”.

I don’t know if you’re from Louisiana but the percentage of voters electing these guys is much higher than 20%.
Thanks. I went to get the quote and the article was behind a paywall. This guy probably can’t figure iut why he has high employee turnover.
I can’t get over the quote from the bills author when he says “Give me a break”. In my district in the last election there were 3 candidates running for the state Legislature and they all tried to out conservative eqch other.
Given the makeup of the Legislature and who our current Governor is this is pretty much a done deal.
So would I but good luck getting your average local sheriff or office of emergency preparedness to use RSS. Most of their “IT” staff is the deputy who is “good with computers” meaning they can open a PDF file.
It’s a shame because Twitter is a perfect platform for the kind of one-way communications required by a news agency or local government agency. Maybe Mastodon or Bluesky will fill that void.
It’s only fair.
I think the focus on bots was primarily used in an attempt to back out of the deal. It was never an issue, especially if it inflated his ego by pumping up his account.
I was never active in terms of posting but I followed several news outlets, local government agencies, and a few friends. Shortly after Musk took over I saw nothing but right wing nutjobs and a lot of posts from Musk. I tried unfollowing but nothing worked so I quit logging in. I need to cancel my account but haven’t taken the time.
Most folks who say this don’t realize which side they fall on.
I really don’t understand the hype about AI in it’s current state.
