Re:How Long Does Music Stardom Last? A Statistical Analysis on Thursday August 08, 2024 @11:23PM (#41198534)
This is kinda bullshit. He’s basing everything in his “analysis” on having a “hit.” There are many working musicians who sell seats and make a good living, and many stars who have toured their way to success without ever having a Billboard hit.

I went so far as to buy the Carrot premium version which allows you to get pretty close to the DS app with some settings. I don't mind paying for good design. The Apple weather app is laughingly antithetical to usual Apple design standards. Somewhere, Steve is not amused.
“ Ridiculing people on the internet is also a really easy way to get a lot of engagement.”

That’s what you’re doing.

Dark Sky gave me a fast look at what I needed to know. The new Apple weather app is overloaded, too busy, and not particularly great to use. Steve is not amused.
“HAVE” there been. Jesus, grammar
Re:On Second Thought, Just Throw Plastic Away on Saturday November 05, 2022 @11:10AM (#33482211)
Seriously, this guy needs to take the Trump flags off the back of his truck before making what might otherwise be legit arguments: plastic is bad, recycling tech at present is poor, maybe even a bust. BUT, so were other technologies at first. It's a problem that needs solving, and at least recycling keeps some awareness of a problem that needs bright people, not another angry conservative blowhard to just say, "ah, fuck it."
Totally misleading headline

Wait. That logo seal doesn’t even have the circular text aligned properly. It looks like someone is still trying to master “type on a path” in Illustrator. C’mon, man!
