If you get addicted to these feeds, you'll just find other ways to them once they're off your phone.

I take a hybrid approach - keep uninstalled by default most of the time, engage a browser extension for web to keep me in place, and failing all that use an app like this as well.

I actively log out of them on my main device and use a second device to access them that I like to use substantially less. The device sits next to me every day, and is accessible at any time.

It has substantially reduced my usage.

There’s no such thing as stealing staff especially when you severely underpay you employees. $100k for sr devs. Pay them what they’re worth and they won’t leave.

They very probably broke non solicitation rules, and stole ip.

At this point, fuck it, do it, I'm here for the laughs now.

Let Claude run on your production servers and delete ld when something doesn't run (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/1mlveoo/help/). Let it nuke your containers and your volumes because why the fuck not (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/5632). Let the vibecoders put out thousands of lines of shit code for their stealth B2B startup that's basically a wrapper around OpenAI and MySQL (5.7, because ChatGPT read online that MERN is a super popular stack but relational databases are gooder), then laugh at them when it inevitably gets "hacked" (the user/pw combo was admin/admin and PHPMyAdmin was open to the internet). Burn through thousands of CPU hours generating dogshit code, organising "agents" that cost you 15 cents to do a curl https://github.com/api/what-did-i-break-in/cba3df677. Have Gemini record all your meetings, then don't read the notes it made, and make another meeting with 5 different people the next week.

It will reveal a bunch of things: which companies are ran by incompetent leaders, which ones are running on incompetent engineers, which ones keep existing because some dumbass VC wants to throw money in the money burning pit.

Stand back, have a laugh. When you're thrust in a circus, don't participate in the clown show.

Can you think of another case where the creators got as rich from a TV production deal?

Not the point, the title has now been changed.

@dang can we change the title on this one, it’s clickbait mixed with an ai generated ramble.

I don't follow your argument. Are you saying eating or smoking to death is like a CEO making bad decisions that causes their company to struggle?
hsbauauvhabzb · 9 days ago
No, it’s that murdering someone doing those things is wrong. Even if the company is clearly circling the drain that doesn’t give apple or anyone else the right to steal their staff and infringe on their ip.

What did they steal? CEO destroyed his own company when he bought a bunch of highend speaker brands. WTF is a medical device company doing buying consumer audio companies?
hsbauauvhabzb · 10 days ago
That’s not for you to decide. It somebody is eating/smoking/drinking themselves to death, does that give you the right to murder them?
hsbauauvhabzb commented on "Privacy preserving age verification" is bullshit   pluralistic.net/2025/08/1... · Posted by u/Refreeze5224

It's even more restrictive than than, for age verification you only get back whether the person is above the age limit or not, it's a boolean response.

So I think from that view the eID works pretty well, it provides the minimal necessary information. The bigger issue with something like this is if you use them to enforce real name policies or stuff like that.

That still results in the government knowing you connected to that website though.

Edit: unless there’s a blind middleman that has tight data policies?

Sounds good for the employees, so go Apple?
hsbauauvhabzb · 10 days ago
They destroyed the founders company and stole their IP in the process though. Let’s not forget there’s actual victims in this story.

hsbauauvhabzb · 10 days ago
I think they basically just gave up. From what I hear VAC is a bit of a joke.
