LinkedIn has become a dumping ground for AI slop. You can avoid it by not visiting the site, but there will always be people sending you links to their AI ‘posts’.

It’s unfortunate that WhatsApp is the most popular app among acquaintances, friends, and family. It seems like new features keep popping up that encourage misuse: - Voice messages: People sending podcasts that are 5 minutes or longer. Or group chats that sound like mall security guards with brand-new walkie-talkies. - Stickers: I use them, but some people overuse them. - Calls to the entire group: It took WhatsApp months to add the option to mute them. - Anyone can add you to a group without asking. They’ve fixed this now, but it also took them a long time to restrict this feature. - Now they’ve added the @all feature, and there are already people abusing it. In the end, it feels like an app designed to show you which of your contacts are taking advantage of any loophole to abuse the system.

When SpaceX’s IPO was announced, I was hit by FOMO. But after calming down, I decided not to sell anything and to stick with the investment strategy I’d adopted a couple of days earlier. Today, the news shows it skyrocketing. Before FOMO hits me again. I still think it’s overvalued; it was priced too high from the start, and now it’s even more expensive without showing how it will grow as promised.

Everyone's talking about Gaspi and Oliver Tree as if they've known them their whole lives. Maybe they have, but I hadn't heard of them until yesterday. As usual, I'm completely out of the loop.

Many celebrities have died in aircraft accidents in Brazil. This helicopter crash is just the latest in a long line of such accidents.

Recibir el CAE (crédito con aval del Estado) es un beneficio, no pagarlo no lo es, y perjudica al que viene después, tanto porque no podrá acceder a él, o bien porque tendrá que pagar la deuda estatal con impuestos. image

Would it be possible to reserve a spot at the top for promoted posts in a horizontal carousel, rather than having them appear one after another before reaching the rest of the "regular" posts? I'm not an UI expert, so this is just a question.
