- Comment on TikTok restricts tool used by researchers - and its critics - to assess content on its platform 10 months ago:
Man locks the front door to his house after refusing to answer the question, “Why do you beat your wife?”
Looks like Meta is using some of the stock price increase from the past few months to fund their media marketing campaign again.
It’s an election year. We are going to hear more about this and omg China.
Just remember that unlike Insta and FB the far right doesn’t go viral on TikTok. The platform that supported insurrection, the company that has allowed the far right to fester and led to a direct assault on representative democracy, remains unpunished and is bigger today than 2020.
- Comment on Starbucks accused of manipulating app payments for $900 million profit 10 months ago:
The truth is that a lot of loyal customers are boycotting Starbucks right now over unionization and their stance on Palestine. So Starbucks is trying to bring them back physically into the stores and are using the balance on their cards as leverage. Starbucks has already uncharacteristically been running several promotions to get people back to their stores, with the red cup and the Stanley thing.
If Starbucks has to return the customers’ unused balance without bringing them into the stores, then they may have lost those customers for good.

- Comment on The march towards an all-EV future hit a major roadblock. What went wrong? 10 months ago:
I want a car that runs on free software, that doesn’t spy on me.
Until then, I can bike, or continue driving my now fifteen year old sedan.
