Revenue at Duolingo in 2024 was up 41% on 23 to $748M. Net income was up by 451% for same period and yet they're firing workers. We've long been at "insatiable greed" point of late stage capitalism. People may feel helpless but there's a very easy way to kick companies like this. Delete their apps.

A lot of us suspected, and Napster confirmed, that the biggest risk to an artist isn't piracy, it's obscurity. Easily sharing work increases visibility, which builds audience, which generates sales. Defeating DRM is trivial, so whenever I have the option, I release my work without it.

the thing about Fetterman is that it doesn’t really matter how much of this is the effect of the stroke and how much is just who he always was either way he is unfit for office and needs to be primaried and replaced

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

Wow. This man, clearly, needs to be kept away from the levers of power. Just a profoundly ignorant statement.

Another timely reminder that what we've been seeing over the past 5 years is a systematic and intentional dismantling of the videogame industry by the executive money-hoarder class.

Once again on this auspicious date of April 23 I feel the need to remind everyone that Shakespeare was born in what is now Turkey, never visited England and almost certainly could not speak or read English.

So weird how this dynamic only applies to Democrats. Republicans can nominate Gunface Taxcuts von Onepercenters cycle after cycle and there’s never a single story about how they’re moving to far right and need to sistersoulja Charlie Kirk or whatever.
