My contempt for Big Telecom has risen another notch with its foul -- and successful -- smear campaign against FCC nominee Gigi Sohn. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/03/bidens-fcc-pick-withdraws-regrets-that-isps-get-to-choose-their-regulators/
As Gigi said in withdrawing, the American people are the losers to a cartel that defines everything wrong with business and politics.
The way people keep looking for a reason behind The Great Twitfuckening that isnât âElon Musk is a narcissistic jerkâ blows my mind.
Heâs not playing 5-dimension chess. Heâs just a banal self-absorbed asshole.
Every action heâs taken at twitter can, and should be, completely explained by âElon Musk is an idiotic jerk.â
There, I wrote the core of every upcoming âWhy is ElonâŚâ article yâall will ever right.
Heâs a bully. Period. Not that deep.

I think this statement could go far beyond cars. No device should need to "phone home" and ask if it still allowed to turn on.
I am worried about how everything needs to be connected and companies desire to continue to make money after the product is sold.
Imagine the story of the HP printer which disabled itself because the user ended their replacement ink problem. Now think about connected kitchen appliances like stove, fridge, or micro. Oh, you want to make ice? Pay an extra $300 and we can enable your ice maker. Want to use the broil feature in your oven? Pay some more. And you'll need to pay monthly or per use.
It's getting out of hand I think and we need to get governments that realize this to step in and tell them to knock it off.
So, we already noted that Wednesdayâs House Oversight Committeeâs grandstanding hearing about Twitter revealed how Trumpâs White House asked Twitter to remove a tweet from ChrissyâŚ
Amusing to compare Musk's grandiose "everything app" and "Product X" with the practical effect of nuking the free API, e.g., sites dropping the ability to login with Twitter.
Google understands how to weave itself into the web's fabric. Musk does not.
