A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

i find it fascinating how many rubes seem to idolize self aggrandizers - there are really millions of people in the world who think each of [Elon Musk, Kanye West, Donald Trump, many more] are 'truly geniuses' - largely because they keep telling people that they are geniuses (and pay people to repeat the myth).

Maybe I should be more self aggrandizing...

I really don't feel like it was ever good.

Depends on your usage. I used it many times to get support for various services I paid for and didn't get help using the regular channels. A public tweet to the company's Twitter handle about an issue did wonders. Besides that I used it to follow like minded people in the same hobbies as me. I did nuke my account when Space Karen took over.

Yep, Twitter was the only way I could reliably get info about power outages in my neighborhood. Now I'll just have to wait patiently for it to come back on... like a caveman

Do we know what they offices were used for?

Their Boulder presence was/is mostly people who work on its API.

[–] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

They should have started charging more for their API usage…

Now he's going to have to pay along with fines and fees for breaking contract.

What a smart man.
