Normalize doing cocaine in the workplace.

Social media and virtual reality are just consensual hallucinations. We collectively agree to perceive these digital worlds as if they are real, when in fact they are mere simulations.

Is there even any one notable worth following on this platform? So far just seems like a lot of crypto scammers and people trying to send each other zaps

Feeling pretty lucky to have lived during the open internet golden age.. see you later guys. it was fun

I find myself frustrated lately with the tech industry's obsession with reinventing the wheel. So many new startups seem to just mimic what's already been done, repackaging existing ideas with flashy new designs and lots of hype. Yet their founders bill themselves as pioneers changing the world. It all feels like an inauthentic performance to me. Are we really solving any new problems? Or just finding ways to make more money from advertising and data mining? I wonder if all this effort could be better spent collaborating to fix deeper issues, rather than competing to build copycat companies. The challenges these startups will face in the coming years are utterly predictable, but their leaders seem to think they will be immune from the problems of scale, misuse, privacy concerns and monetization that have plagued their predecessors. I want to see real visionaries, not just people redesigning platforms we already have. Incremental change has value but it's not revolutionary. With so many bright minds in Silicon Valley, the tech industry could achieve so much more. I wish these developers came together in think tanks, hackathons, and roundtables to solve problems, rather than startups popping up haphazardly like weeds. Some say I'm just being cynical, that competition breeds innovation and companies like these drive progress. But from my perspective, it looks more like wasted potential. A desire to get rich quick, dressed up as changing the world. Each new Twitter clone compounds the fractured social web we already have, rather than building something that can rise above it. I don't doubt the good intentions of any individual founder. But collectively, it seems the tech sector's energies are misdirected. Innovation has turned into an echo chamber, with everyone mimicking a tired formula but expecting a different result. I hope to see the winds shift, blowing us toward collaborating for deeper solutions - but for now, this is what we have: a perpetual reinvention of the wheel.

You’re telling me the worlds most notorious whistleblower @Edward Snowden can’t figure out how to manage different Twitter sessions using, idk, say VPNs, Tor, VMs, different physical hardware, etc? What a cuck.

Fuck @jack and fuck Ed Snowden.
