Okay, that explains a lot. Oh my goodness, this explains everything!

Biff from Back to the Future is based on Donald Trump.

MAGA can use GenAI as much as they want to portray Trump as a hero, but if there is a real hero, they complain about him not wearing a suit.

@giantspecks No, it was originally always black and white. I’m not sure about the origin of this remaster or the colorization technique they used.

When it comes to science fiction, Raumpatrouille Orion is seriously underrated. Launched in 1966, it could never compete with big-budget productions like Star Trek, but it’s still amazing what they accomplished in that era.

After this shitshow, I find myself questioning my own identity. Having grown up immersed in American culture, from Back to the Future and Star Trek to Music, I've always considered it a part of who I am.

Now, I'm confronted with the uncomfortable reality that the U.S. might no longer be our friends.

If that's the case, what remains of my identity?

@veronica "Profit and Lace" completely killed the Ferengi Arc which was awesome up to this point.

Personally "Far Beyond the Stars" is my favorite episode. Probably because I'm PoC and my family got a history with mental illness. I always got some tears in my eyes, when I watch it.

That escalated quickly.

The constant complaints about Obama, Biden, or Hillary were already hard to tolerate. What a small man.

Jeff Bezos's Amazon acquired MGM a while ago. I wonder when they will remove the James Bond movie, „Tomorrow Never Dies“, where a tech billionaire who controls media aims to take over the world.

It's somewhat surprising how Microsoft messed up with the Skype acquisition.
“Skyping” had become synonymous with video calling, yet Microsoft couldn't sustain the brand's momentum and popularity despite Videocalls getting more and more relevant.

@konstantin Its the Outie version of Teams.

Now, they’re killing Skype to replace it with the worst possible replacement.

LinkedIn is full of people building the same stock/crypto app.

It's a bit frustrating that they're leveraging my nostalgia, and it's actually working.
This does look quite cool, though 😭

Adding this small App Action to help you find your next vinyl record.

I'm a little bit worried about the discoverability of Actions. Anything to improve?

@nick I read somewhere that the US needs more German-like "Mittelstand" companies.
These are small to medium-sized companies that are not listed on the stock market. Valve, for example, is doing great with this model.

Initially, there was a lot of excitement when the Ladybird Browser Project announced its move to Swift.

Fast forward to now. Swift makes up only 0.3% of the repository, and there is a list of Swift blockers.

RIP Monolith. One of the greatest and underrated video game companies ever existed.

There goes my hope of a return of Cate Archer and No one lives Forever.
