Sometimes I’m guessing, but my guesses are more informed than yours and I’m only suggesting giving it a try because it will be faster than this argument we’re now having about it.

Sure, but we’re in a job interview, right?

Would you please be the boss of me now?

I was a senior project manager at Twitter

Yes, you need to say more. I have absolutely no idea what that is and I don’t want to Google it if it’s really that horrifying.

Looks like you just missed the frog with a wizard hat who definitely hangs out there

If they can’t vibe with that I don’t want them ever coming over again

The path of a bullet is parabolic. You ain’t hitting shit with that math, yo.

Pretty worthless feature considering 99% of calls from unknown numbers are spoofed anyway

It matches my Stanley

To be fair to Apple, I don’t think they’re referring to rice dust getting past seals. They’re likely referring to bits of rice getting stuck in lightning or USB ports, starch on camera lenses, or a small particle working its way into a button. All of that could be solved by putting the phone in a paper wrapping or envelope and putting that in a real desiccant instead of chucking the phone in a bag of rice.

Not on my phone, and it’s pretty shitty to need add-ons just to make content readable, so whatever

Still can’t read the content without pop-up ads. Hella enshitified.

You just have to make a post on your Facebook profile saying that you don’t consent and that you retain all rights. Bonus points for working in some sovcit stuff.

Nah, Google was a thing by the time Napster was around. If you were hip enough to know about one you probably knew about the other. You’d get an idea by figuring out what genre the artist was, reading reviews, just seeing where discussion was taking place. Not by listening to it, you’d have to queue it up to download and wait while hoping your source didn’t go offline before it downloaded. And yes, even at 56k you could load and read text while downloading MP3s, it was just slow.

Once you found the song and started downloading it you had plenty of time to browse the rest of the library of the person you were downloading from. That could lead to finding stuff you never heard of that you would like. The only catch was that you couldn’t listen to it immediately, but you could Google what you found to get an idea of what it was and go from there.

Over 20 years ago, the internet was revolutionized through free music file sharing. Today, Napster’s legacy lives on through websites that rip YouTube’s audio.

Is this guy a boomer or a zoomer? It sure seems like he doesn’t know that what made Napster great wasn’t really the downloading so much as how it facilitated discovering new music. Looking through other people’s collections while the thing you came for downloaded was amazing.

Edit: I looked it up, Zoomer

Comparing market cap to earnings just shows you have no clue

Dude’s delusional thinking he’s going to crush Mayo Clinic while his employees pass COVID back and forth. Straight goofball thinking.
