Oh I am very sorry, I think I did not express myself properly. I wasn't particularly referring to you, but rather the typical user who will answer to the "Musk is one of the richest" with the "company value" thing.

I do think tho that whatever your opinion on Musk's companies is, the market clearly thinks otherwise, which banks are part of it.

Also, I strongly dislike Musk. But it's very clear to me that he has enough power to do whatever he wants like wasting lots of money trying new things until something sticks.

He might not be now, but like a year ago he was the richest human ever. I don't think he's fallen from the top 20. And that is just the official numbers. Imagine what might be hidden.

And don't come to me with the "but shares are not money". Shares are basically money, and you can even use them to convince banks to give you more.

That's what happens when you have so much money that you can just do crazy things knowing that statistically something will make money.

I thought he touched some kids, dude.

I wouldn't call it a scandal at all. MKBHD has a company that relies on Apple hardware and software. They will very gladly accept any bribing from them.

What scandal? Search comes out empty.

If you were getting bald (which you might not) you'd have 2 options:

  • hair transplant (if needed) and medication for the rest of your life.
  • shave/trim and move on

I'm generally for team 2. I'd hate medicating (which from internet opinion has various long-lasting unwanted side effects) for the rest of my life for such stupid thing.

I must confess, I have the benefit that I don't look that bad. Also, being fit becomes much more required when bald, 😅, you have to compensate your older look; and side effects from exercise are virtually all positive. So I'll take it.

I see it more like in comicbook stories, where people just love a character so much that they end up bringing them back in the most bizarre way.

This is basically the meta-version of that. And I am in.

This is the most comicbook thing ever, and you guys should chill out.

Yes, Marvel movies are bad lately, but the Infinity Saga is a masterpiece of cinema (with its very-high highs and mediocre-at-worst lows) that no one but MarvelStudios has been able to pull off. Maybe they can do it again.

Also RDJ is an amazing actor and he will very probably do a brutal job at making us all forget Tony Stark even existed.

It wasn't perfect, but definitely not bad. Specially the first season finishes on an amazing high note that made me go "dammit, I want more now".

Before this season 4 I'd be like "dude, it's already getting boring already".

But season 4 was so incredible that now I'll take anything!! I want it!!

  • ISO date and time.
  • Metric system.
  • USB-C.
  • Git.
  • ConventionalCommits.
  • Semantic versioning.
  • XDG Base Directory.
  • OpenDocument.
  • HDR10+.

Also, I would enforce every online shop, transport company, hotels... All of these functioning under a federated market, sort of like the fediverse. Impossible to corrupt. Impossible to monopolize. True choice.

If it's just an image and a song, ask your favourite AI chat for an ffmpeg command that takes an audio file and image and creates a video that keeps the audio quality intact.

This is very probably going to be the simplest way.
