Elon in the meeting:

Apple’s transparency reports are interesting to look at, though I think the last update was June 2024.

Here’s the latest update for the US.

Nah, it would never happen.

We would end up with comprehensive gun control reform before we ran out of our precious billionaires.

In only the most playful and harmless spirit of sarcasm, it kinda reads like, “you are immortal if you make choices which do not kill you”.

And as an extension, “if you choose to survive long enough, that will eventually kill you, as well”.

It sounds like a complicated way of describing an instinctively non-suicidal existence.

Pretty sure heaven is a halfpipe.

I guess Mac does win, interesting.

I’d say I go to see a movie in an actual movie theater once a year, but the truth is I probably go half as often as that.

It isn’t that I am not interested in movies, I just don’t see the value. I am supposed to pay for a ticket, concessions, and whatever goes into travel to the theater to watch a movie with a bunch of (probably annoying) strangers in a fairly gross environment?

My guess is my annual box office contribution is approximately 0.5x the current ticket price.

If, however, there was a $20/month subscription service which would let me watch new releases at home, I would subscribe.

Even if it was relegated to expensive hardware, like an Apple Vision Pro, I would very likely buy the device and sign up for the subscription.

$240/year would be a hell of a lot more revenue than my current $5.50/year—regardless of whether or not it would be exclusive to certain hardware or platforms.

Honestly, my current TV and sound system may not be as impressive as a theater, but they are good and I’d take that experience over the modified bus depot experience of a public movie theater.

It does look like that frog from that one Simpsons episode.

Those who profit from the status quo are the same who could have that information consolidated for review. They also know that maintaining your apathy is central to their business model.

If they have created a system by which they can profit immensely, but that profit could be taken away by the masses at anytime, the last thing they will do is enable you to care.

Your comment shows that they have been successful in tricking you into not only not caring, but actually advocating against your own interests.

I looked up my old character just the other day—my account must had been compromised because all of my gear was gone.

I could totally see myself going back to play again and pick up where I left off (after 18 years), but I don’t think that’s possible anymore.

Did you hide any apps in iOS 18?

I’m wondering if the UI wouldn’t show the name of a hidden app…
