That's why. Long time users will flip, so they try and spin it in their favor as hard as they can before release.

Most news and social spaces on the Internet pull people's focus to issues they have very little control over. This has been shown to cause a degradation in mental health. Since these places have become a mainstay in society, we've seen a plummet in mental health. Things can't get better if everyone is suffering from depression and anxiety.

Being informed enough to support a few (2-3) issues with real intention, can be helpful. But letting corporations and politicians leverage the idea that being informed about everything is good, just leads to them pointing to everything that can be spun as a problem. Then nobody does anything meaningful to affect change. They just feel defeated.

I love Bitwarden, but goddamn, they need to figure out form filling. They have my cards, passwords, TOTP, address, and name. And I always end up having to flip back and forth.

Worth mentioning: life is a construct created by humans. We decide if it's alive, just like we decided if anything else was alive. There's no definite answer that science can provide on this topic. It can only provide humanity with more facts with which we can contrive a distinction.

Welcome to the internet, where people try their best to find people with the same opinions so they can feel good and get pissed when they can't.

Yeah Tesla is down to 20% because of the massive EV boom THEY started. Saying Starlink is one of the ISP monopolies people can choose from, is an oxymoronic statement. Agreed about SpaceX. Pay your amazing eng team!

I'm not saying Elon is a great leader. But the odds 3 things he owns happened to take off isn't likely a total coincidence. Maybe he's just better than average at predictions. But to act like it isn't what it is because you don't like the guy, kinda undercuts legitimate criticism.

The implication is that this guy's hate is coming from somewhere else ✈️

He's not, real engineers are. That's my point.

Well there are EVs everywhere now, Starlink is breaking ISP regional monopolies and providing rule areas/countries with internet, and SpaceX is the leading frontier of human exploration technology. The ol'Muskrat is a real piece of work, but it sounds kinda ridiculous when you downplay obvious successes.

Yeah this is too accurate LMAO. I use Arch btw.

Hey, go boo the actual bad shit Musk is doing. Starship is an amazing feat of human engineering. One that has already made orbit, btw.

It's SOOOO easy to jump on the mob hate bandwagon. Especially for content creators that have so much content going back so long. People can pull all the worst bits from a decade up and draw all sorts of conclusions that seem totally plausible if you consider that information in a vacuum. Also it's just cathartic, Linus can be really annoying sometimes. His videos are everywhere. He's making tons of money. It feels GOOD to shit on him. Then when the dust clears you realize you were the one being the asshole off the basis of shakey hear-say and anonymous opinions online. Feels bad man. Those are the times in life we really have to remind ourselves of our morals and ethics and only act on what we really know. But it's hard.
