Powerful Two-Hander posted:lmao at "anonymous teen compliment app" this feels really skeevy quote:tbh had scored 5 million downloads and 2.5 million daily active users in the past nine weeks with its app that lets people anonymously answer kind-hearted multiple-choice questions about friends who then receive the poll results as compliments. You see questions like “Best to bring to a party?,” “Their perseverance is admirable?” and “Could see becoming a poet?” with your uploaded contacts on the app as answer choices. it's the wii Everybody Votes channel, but with sinister targeting of kids for data-gathering

i assume that "anonymous teen complement app" is just marketing spin on those "honesty box" apps they used to have when facebook was popular with young people, which they would use for bullying each other

zucko sent a mealy-mouthed letter out to metas few remaining employees and it included this nicely letting himself off the hook lets not talk about who spent $25bn trying to make second life 2.0 happen, or why we kept hiring for forever hypergrowth even as our growth numbers sputtered and eventually reversed themselves. the important thing is not to lay blame or hold anyone accountable, but to shift the moment

Bloomberg posted:The Chainsmokers have given their haters something else to hold against them: They’ve become venture capitalists, starting Mantis VC, a firm that raised a total of $110 million in the boom years of 2020 and 2021 from investors like TPG Inc. co-founder Jim Coulter and billionaire Mark Cuban. Cuban, in fact, can be seen in one of the duo’s TikTok videos, in which Pall rips the T-shirt off Taggart’s back during a performance and hands it to their benefactor to use as a napkin. “I’ve known them for a while,” Cuban said in an email. “Like them.” …

Trimson Grondag 3 posted:meta slowing becoming the HP or AT&T of the 2020s. It’s AOL. Maybe the slide takes a good long time, but I don’t see how they ever have a real recovery where they start growing and are exciting again. Their user base is stagnant and they have no new ideas. It’s just gonna be annual layoffs and only backfilling certain positions as it just slowly fades into the background.

infernal machines posted:just now reading through the thread and there are some absolutely incredible technical solutions being suggested, this is truly a goon project thread quote:My hot-take inclination for archiving stuff is to set up a bunch of static HTML and images in a local filesystem, then press "SomethingAwful Archive" DVDs. That would get the information out to some number of people, generate some revenue, and, crucially, set up a redundant historical archive. Maybe some crazy goon would host the content at "somethingarchives.com" for a while. But I've only put 60 seconds of thought into this, so. you weren't kidding

Why should we stay at Meta?”

the amount of people you reach with your work is in inverse proportion to the impact of your work. Reach 100 people with a complete application, or reach a billion with a slight performance enhancement for editable textboxes on firefox.
