This app once sparked social changes and political revolutions. People used it to hold the guilty people accountable.

Then Elon bought it with funding from Saudia Arabia and a few others.

Then he made all the cartoonishly wrong changes. Now the app is dying.

It doesn't feel like incompetence to me. It feels like the app was murdered by the rich and the powerful for whom 44B isn't that big of a deal.

And Twitter wasn't all bad. People used it to spark, spread and fuel several sovial and political changes. It was the modern townsquare.

It's too bad it only amplifies nazis and fascists now, but there was a time when regular people had a voice there.

You need more meaningful things going on in your life.

Gas stoves heat things faster and hotter, I'm fine with a slight trade off for those features.

My M2 air is silent because it has no fans. I've never had any trouble doing any office / photoshop / illustrator work. Battery life lasts hours and hours and hours.

It's not all marketing, there's substance too

When you said 20 years later I genuinely thought you meant like early 90s

On a related note my Brother 2270DW has been working flawlessly since 2012. It survived two moves just fine. Toners are cheap and widely available

I have it hooked up to my wifi and any new pc or mac connected to the wifi can print effortlessly

So why don't they split YouTube and YouTube music subs? It can save people like us money

I want ad free YouTube but don't want YouTube music. I don't want to pay for extra shit that I won't be using.

I use Spotify way more than I use YouTube. Spotify does one thing and it does it extremely well.

If Spotify added unlimited free Uber eats delivery tomorrow and bumped up the price to $20 a month, then sure, it'd be a good deal but I wouldn't want any of that.
