Does anyone else get confused when someone says “my partner,” and you’re not sure whether it’s their life partner or their partner in venture capital

@LM_Braswell @windsurf_ai Angry clippy is elite

@craighunter_ @WillManidis I mean it’s no Uber :) but publicly traded company, etc

@cyantist

@WillManidis Even this app at one point was a podcast app and at one point one of their investors was so certain the startup was going to fail that they pulled basically all their money when the founders gave them the option to (except $25k)

@Jimmy_S_Yun The Ben Affleck / Liv Tyler scene with the animal crackers taught me so much about life and love that I had to pay it forward

We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month?”

Clearly not everyone can agree on that so do think it's an important distinction, hence the whole TikTok debate we've had as a country for years. To that extent that's obvious to you personally then great. On the model front, I understand your perspective. My whole point that I don't want popular consumer apps that can be used against us to be controlled by a foreign entity. One already has, and it was/is not good.

open source model good app bad If I were the CCP, I would make things open source, get a lot of plaudits about it, and have a trojan horse app where enough usage will lie Basically run a version of the TikTok playbook but modified - and hey our kids have never been more suicidal and had an ability to change opinions en masse by a state actor
