On the internet, nobody knows you are Australian.

also https://lemm.ee/u/MargotRobbie

To tell you the truth, I don't know who I am either. Somebody sincere, perhaps.

But if you ever read this one day, I hope that you are as proud of me, as I am of the person I imagined you to be.

  • Don't get me wrong, I don't like that cars have been getting bigger and bigger either, they are unsafe for everyone but the occupants and they wear out the roads faster, but it is just something that is still actively happening.

  • Still on that acting break, but in the meantime, you can buy a copy of "Barbie" on Blu-ray to tide you over.

  • Even if there are no trade barriers, it would be very unsafe to drive a tiny car like this in the US due to the number of gigantic trucks and SUVs on the streets.

    This is why new cars has been getting bigger and bigger and leading to this "car size arms race".

  • Yeah! Pick somebody who actually knows tech, like esteemed Academy Award nominated lead developer Margot Robbie, for example.

    (Wait, actually, no, getting involved in crypto is generally a bad idea...)

  • Even though this is an obviously AI generated picture (which makes it funnier BTW), this seems like a fun shenanigan to pull on the weekends.

    The best part is that nobody will recognize you with the velociraptor masks on.

  • For your information, "we are not here to fuck spiders" is actually a pretty common Australian (well, QLD) saying.

  • Didn't he openly played video games in the middle of an investor call?

    If he is set up to be the fail guy, they could not have picked a worst person, because everything about him screams "you shouldn't trust this guy with your money".

  • But then what if some particularly clever celebrity shows up on a social media platform where you never expect them to, like that velociraptor in Jurassic Park?

  • That's a nice thing to say.

  • Although the BYDs and GWMs and MGs are getting popular in Australia, I have literally never seen a Chinese EV in the States outside of locally built BYD busses, and BYD cars have distinct designs that are fairly easy to spot. So this feels like posturing to me.

  • Jokes on you, you can't unfollow me on Lemmy because followers aren't a thing here.

    Also, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie is always necessary.

  • If you are absolutely locked in to someone else's service, then there really isn't anything you can do if they do something object able, better to rip off the Band-Aid now than later.

    X Formerly Known As Twitter isn't functionally irreplaceable, and I do hope the higher up at Nintendo will realize the only way that the only way to make sure they have full control of their publishing platform is by owning it and start a Misskey instance or something.

  • The manufacturer has to release the phone's kernel source code before any custom ROM development can happen for the phone most of the time for that reason.

    There is a reason that GrapheneOS only works on a couple of Pixel phones.

    Could be just like windows in that it has every driver for every piece of hardware in the package, just bloating it unnecessarily.

    Google specifically designed the Android kernel so that the driver are excluded, unlike the normal Linux or Windows kernel, because, long story short, Qualcomm did not want it to happen.

  • That's a good point. Cryptocurrency and NFTs are not good things to be involved in.

  • Technically, every Android phone uses a "very bespoke AOSP", because the Android kernel is customized for the hardware of every single phone model, which can include things like hardware drivers and carrier services.

    This is the reason that there is no universal Android ROM that works across every Android phone, unlike Windows or normal GNU/Linux distributions.

  • Plenty of companies pivot when their initial business plan doesn't work out or if the market changes.

    For example, did you know that American Express used to be a shipping company like FedEx and UPS? Or Mattel used to sell picture frames before they started making toys? Or Nintendo started out as a playing card company and still sells them today?

  • Would you expect anything less from esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie?

  • Whenever Kevin O'leary says anything, everything comes into context if you know how he got to be as rich as he is today.

    The short version of the story is Kevin O'leary destroyed the entire educational game industry by buying everyone out and took on massive amount of debt, misrepresented his company's financial condition so Mattel was left holding the bag when they acquired The Learning Company in what was called one of the worst acquisitions in history, was subsequently fired and almost took down Mattel with him, and he has been coasting on that money he took from Mattel ever since.

    This has lead directly to the resignation of then Mattel CEO Jill Barad, the woman who made Barbie what it is today.

    I find it incredibly ironic for him, of all people, to be talking about conducting employment background checks.
