- You try to read the content of the site on 20% of your screen because the rest is padding and headers and useless shit
- You try to understand why your laptop fan has started and your battery is draining at 100% cpu on a text and image on website
- You manage to read something on the website before your battery drops by 30%. You try to figure out if it’s AI generated or not
- You’re hit by a paywall

It’s a funny story because Ford was suspecting them of building a rival car company so he wasn’t doing it entirely out of altruistic pursuits. He wanted to them to get lower profits from their Ford investments. Whenever you think capitalists have reached the peak of greed, they truly innovate.
This only strikes us plebes when we find out about it. It is common knowledge in economist circles:

The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits: a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman_doctrine
This has only been recently challenged as a PR attempt to rebrand it into “stakeholder capitalism”
Also, not related but equally horrifying: in macroeconomics there is a target of unemployment of around 5%, aka full employment is to be avoided: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAIRU
Poe’s law is really confusing me here. It’s funny if it’s a joke, sad if it’s an actual anti-vegan statement.
The article image is great, too bad it’s so cropped

He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the board is just doing what ChatGPT tells them to.
72·2 years agoThis is not a slight nuance, it literally makes touchscreen unusable for me. Touchscreen really helps with carpal tunnel and RSI, which is more important to me than an ideological war against Google.
The deceleration is way too low and it’s hard to get it to focus where I want on the page fast. The deceleration is inconsistent between touchscreen and touchpad, which works fine. I tried looking around for configurations for it but couldn’t find any. Touchscreen support in Chrome is just generally better
Does this apply to all Chromium based browsers? I would like to switch to Firefox, but the touchscreen scroll there is terrible, and that is 90% of what I do in a browser.

Why not use stars in this case?
