In my personal (and therefore, limited) experience, engagement is much harder to get in the fediverse. I hope it improves, but it’s not easy to find people you don’t know in order to follow them, and vice versa.

The article mentions fighting hidden fees,which is good, but they really need to address TicketMaster’s monopoly in the process.

If someone is reading the National Enquirer and thinks it’s actual news, they are already an idiot and nothing revealed in this trial is going to smarten them up.
In the 80s, the National Enquirer had a ‘seance’ to ask the ghost of Marilyn Monroe if someone had murdered her and who the murderer was. They then reported this as if it wad an actual source and named Bobby Kennedy the killer. It’s not like this is a real news source in any way, and it never has been.

“What should we include when we build our humanoid robot?”

“It should stand up in the most unnerving way possible.”

I can only go by the actual numbers I’ve seen, and it seems like most articles are cherry picking, at least so far. Saying ‘popularity is soaring’ isn’t the same as hard numbers.

For example, the NBA could claim their popularity is soaring during the NBA Finals, but their actual numbers are dwarfed the the Super Bowl. A lot of this is spin. But if the WNBA numbers actually do increase, then sure, more money would be coming.

It may go down in the WNBA. Caitlin Clark isn’t the first player who was expected to make the WNBA popular (Maya Moore, Brittany Griner, etc). It’s far too early to tell if she will have any impact on WNBA viewership.

The issue is that NIL money is also a way for boosters to pay players to stay instead of the shadowy back door deals that used to happen. Now NIL just allows boosters to pay players through a legitimate channel.

The article says the women’s college tournament ‘dwarfed the men’s tournament’, but the ratings numbers I’ve seen show the men’s tournament has had 5x the viewership. So someone’s not doing their research. Plus, this is college, not the pros. If the WNBA viewership increases, then,yes, more revenue should come with the next media contract. But that remains to be seen.

Layoffs are always, always, always a sign of an unhealthy company, regardless of how Wall Steet reacts.

I wasn’t aware RFK Jr was even still running.

I heard about the Aaron Roger’s thing but honestly at this point, RFK Jr isn’t a blip on the radar. He’d have to work his way up to blip.

Wow, all I can say after reading that is, Aaron Rodgers is really, really stupid.

The 21,000+ US border agents must love hearing every day that they don’t exist and aren’t aware of massive armies of people streaming across the border. They must be invisible!

Facts never matter, people who have never even been 100 miles of the border just make up wild stories and claim them as truth.

“Why make our food better when we could just charge more?”

Hiring devs with degrees does not guarantee anything quality about the software they write.

This won’t end well.

It’s only not profitable because the CEO and CFO are taking such massive salaries, $193M and $93M, respectively.

They took $286M and the company lost $90M. They could take $90M less - still taking almost $200M - and Reddit would be profitable. That alone should tell investors that this is a bad investment.

I’m more interested in which filament was used.

So, less than 20 truck drivers…driving semis, I guess. What exactly do they think they are going to do, besides discover there’s no army of people coming across the border? Even if there were, they’d have no ability to do anything beyond what the trained border patrol and US Army actually does. These people really are living in a cosplay fantasy land.

This is the same guy trying to build some paradise city in another third world country.

This is going to end with him brutally murdered in his huge paradise office by a race of half human, steroid infused crazed people with implants in their head.

It is worse, and Teams is even worse than Edge.
