  • My hunch is Zuck is salivating over divestment and was lobbying for this. However I think bytedance won’t divest since the US market only represents under 5% of the user base.

    This is gonna bite Biden in the ass hard with the younger generations if he signs it and then they won’t vote (granted a lot don’t vote anyway). They’ll see it as an out of touch old government trying to silence our voices and give money away for war rather than help people. Will definitely be interesting to see how it unfolds.



  • Other things that irritated me when I recently switched from android to iOS:

    The keyboard doesn’t have the numbers along the top. Didn’t realize how much I used digits when typing stuff out so switching back and forth is annoying.

    When typing long text messages I find it impossible to just click higher or scroll up to reread what I typed

    Speaking of messaging the fact I can only do emoji reactions with such a limited range is really amazing especially in 2023-2024

    The calculator doesn’t show you what you typed in….maybe I’m the idiot but I can’t figure it out

    No ability to do Picture in Picture especially with FaceTime, so everytime I leave the app to look at another window it always blacks the video out

    Printing things from my phone is so difficult now

    Apple Pay for some reason only works when I double click the side button before placing the phone near the reader rather than scan and then double click

    Speaking of wallet I can’t transfer in a local public transit commuter card from android….i need a physical card or number to scan. There is no option to manually enter that I can see

    The action button why can I only do 1 action and not multiple with a click and then a hold option?

    Speaking of action button I have mine set to silent bc if I keep clicking the volume down button it doesn’t automatically put the ringer on vibrate and then silent

    Which leads me to why in gods name can I not turn off send noises from any app? I don’t need to hear the swoosh sound every time.

    The Notification Center in general bothers me

    Also I really miss the back button and menu buttons on the bottom.

    I’m sure there’s more I forgot about but those are little things that have bugged me.


  • Twitter went from like 7000 employees down to 1000. So skeleton crew for sure. There’s also speculation that they didn’t migrate all the data off Google cloud services so they lost a bunch of data as the contract ended June 30th.

    As for the X thing no idea his obsession I’d probably guess he thinks he’s like the modern day iron man or professor Xavier for the gifted with x men.

    I’ll give credit where credit is due he’s really good at being able to raise capital but in terms of actual business execution he falls flat to me.
