A quick Google search will show that they did in fact say these things about the telephone and telegraph

History shows that there is constant, consistent progress no matter what technology people say will ruin everything.

Well I'm not sure why you expected useful interesting content. The whole point of Parler is to be a home for these far-right extremists.

Good moderation is important on platforms where anyone can post anything otherwise misinformation and conspiracy theories will spread.

Handmade in the sense that they don't use frameworks like React or Angular. Just like how technically a box cake mix cake is "homemade" but usually if someone says "homemade cake" they made it from scratch.

Re:Uber cuts 3000 more jobs, closes 45 offices on Tuesday May 19, 2020 @09:41AM (#23234763)
A few years ago I worked at a small-ish company that had to do a mass layoff of about 10% of their employees. The only HR person had to write her own layoff letter. A few days later she had to walk back her own layoff because the company realized they probably shouldn't layoff their only HR person during a mass layoff.

I've also got a 2015 Mazda 3 GT and I absolutely love the system. It boots quickly and works really well. I got the CarPlay upgrade done though. Everyone that gets in thinks my car is brand new.
