She’s even sighted in the wikipedia article “In 2023, Linda Yaccarino was appointed as the CEO of Twitter while the company was facing an uncertain future and a number of challenges, including outages, user discontent and advertiser skepticism. The company lost more than half of its value since its acquisition by Elon Musk six months prior.”

7·1 year agoGreat article, what a historic time for SF. I used to love The Dead Kennedys. They were such a great band and I used to love visiting SF in the 90s but I doubt it’s anything like what it was back then. I had a good friend who’s parents were part of the Jim Jones Church that decided to not go to Guyana. It’s interesting how much what Jim Jones would say sounds just like Trump. I don’t know much about Feinstein but it almost seems like she ran as a Dem purely to get elected, maybe? Jello has always been pretty hilarious watching him run for mayor is almost as funny as his Nardware interviews.
It would probably be cheaper for me to drive up to White Rock or Abbotsford BC then go see a doctor in Seattle even with my insurance. But when you get sick it’s kind of hard to shop around.
The crime rate and especially the murder rate compared the the US is shockingly different.
5·1 year agoA lot of the pay and benefit increases come with an expectation that the worker will increase their productivity. US workers have been conditioned to blame themselves if they don’t meet these expectations and it has become baked into the work culture. We can not maintain the current imbalance in pay disparity and 1% wealth without structural changes but it’s culturally forbidden to even talk about this without being accused of being a communist. This paradigm has been created after decades of messaging from the system that supports the existing oligarchy - IMO.
It’s not as refined as reddit but the content is better and the community can improve the UI/UX over time… At first it was a little awkward for me coming from reddit but it didn’t take long for me to adjust and the diversity of people and ideas I’ve found on here is well worth it.
1·1 year agore-builder in Emacs works really good for this because I’ll usually have the text in a buffer already that I want to match or replace or adjust or select - I’m constantly using it.
I’m interested in finding ways to use it but when if I’m writing code I really like the spectrum of different answers on stack overflow with comment’s on WHY they did it that way. Might use it for boring emails though.
0·1 year agoRodriguez what an awesome human being…just watched this interview with him.
“And what about all the those years of back breaking labor, was that hard on you? … well physically it was hard but there is no shame in hard work…There is no shame in being poor. Poor doesn’t mean dirty. Poor doesn’t mean stupid and poor doesn’t mean, mean”
I think that also happened…and maybe the royalties issue wasn’t as black and white as I thought.
What Likely Happened to the Royalties for “Sugar Man”?
It’s a tuff biz. I don’t think you were wrong, luck has a lot to do with it and the bootlegging certainly helped.

3·1 year agoI never posted on reddit…but luked for a very long time but I want this place to be better the reddit so bad and so…
Based on my memory, like a lot of musicians in the “good old days”, the record label cut him out of everything and actively hid royalties from him. The documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” goes into more details. As i recall they find the producer but can’t find the money. Great Doc check it out. Also found this " One of the dramatic highlights of the film is when the interviewer confronts Clarence Avant, the label’s owner. “What happened to all of the royalties?” the interviewer asks. Avant becomes visibly agitated and is unable to offer a satisfactory answer to the question. "
Classic tail of an great artist who got fucked by the music industry…
Wasn’t sure I’d listen to this whole thing but half way threw it starts to really get weird. Damn, kind of feel bad for her…it most be hell working for Elon.
