The names of the offending apps on the cards need much more emphasis.

I'm old enough to remember when people actually took the Hatch Act seriously.

Why is every part of this website animated, and part of the text is backwards? Am I the only one who sees it this way?

>This thing also has a "Text the President" button that auto-fills your message with "Greatest President Ever!" and then collects your name and phone number.

when is the onion going to go bankrupt? it has to be soon, i imagine. no way it can compete with reality at this point.

(the rest of the article is a bit too depressing for me to comment on at the moment, other than saying "wow, gross")

It's ming boggling just how....cringe... these billionaires that want to run the world are. Makes you wonder if the personas that seek billions are correlated strongly with mental illnesses.

They are perfectly aware of their own optics and do it because you can't escape it. See Elon with his cringeworthy Twitter takeover that still hasn't collapsed, Larry Ellison buying up the media or Tim Cook gifting the gold trophy to Trump.

Nobody has the guts to boycott them anymore. Billionaires know that you depend on them for news, social media and smartphones too.

> still hasn't collapsed

Which is why he's playing a shell game with xAI "buying" twitter and then SpaceX "buying" xAI

I do not think it is the money that made them terrible. I know all sorts of terrible people that would do the exact same things. The only difference really is they do not have the money to execute on those ideas.

Money does not make you a good or bad person. It just makes you more of who you are already.

Do these posts just get upvoted due to the graphics/animations? I find this site incredibly difficult to read with things re-playing as you scroll up and down and the articles I've read from here are often light on details. The graphics seem very AI-generated (overlapping text and other little issues) which makes me think the whole thing is from an LLM.

While this post does have some interesting information, I have to wade through distracting animations that seem "off" which makes me questions all of it.

You could not pay me to use any of these apps. All of my own devices run some form of Linux (Debian for servers, Arch for desktop/laptop, GrapheneOS on phone). I generally refuse to use non-free software, the main exception being Steam on a dedicated gaming rig.

I really don't understand why everything has to be an "app." My phone only has a handful of apps, including two web browsers, through which other things are accessed. No app gets access to location, sensors, the camera, or the microphone.
