A shocking development considering they took a submersible with a viewport rated for 1,300 meters to the Titanic which is at 4,000 meters. 🤔

The critiques from Mr. Lochridge and the experts who signed the 2018 letter to Mr. Rush were focused in part on what they characterized as Mr. Rush’s refusal to have the Titan inspected and certified by one of the leading agencies that do such work.

Mr. Lochridge reported in court records that he had urged the company to do so, but that he had been told that OceanGate was “unwilling to pay” for such an assessment.

Hence why capitalism* sucks.

*Not to be confused with commerce.

Meta is a cesspool. Financial success ≠ good for end users.

Facebook is a repository for aging, red-cap-wearing boomers. Meanwhile, Meta is focusing all efforts on Instagram, which becomes shittier by the day as they attempt to transform it into whatever competing service is most successful—currently TikTok.

And the underlying problem is capitalism itself. There's nothing wrong with making money. But capitalism is based on the pursuit of infinite growth and profit, which of course is impossible, which means that every capitalist enterprise is doomed to follow the same predicable path of enshittification and eventually collapse.

Capitalism is a plague on society—a malignant cancer on humanity.

I don't think it's appropriate to refer to Selig as a "fan boy". I assume this wasn't intended in a derogatory way, but that's how that term is typically perceived.

I'm done with Reddit. 10 year old account, all content overwritten and then deleted.

I considered that but made the conscious decision that I was unwilling to let Reddit continue to benefit from my content. Even if viewed from a purely altruistic standpoint, it's clear that Reddit's days are numbered (at least what we thought of Reddit.) It won't vanish overnight, but will suffer a slow death a la Digg.

Huffman has gone full Space Karen. He's now banning users who post links/instructions on how to migrate to alternative sites and is a/b testing the blocking of mobile visitors unless they're using the official Reddit app.
