Let me give you a bit of the outside of the story as well.

For sure tiktok and meta and Google want you in their walled Garden for all the obvious reasons. However, and it’s gotten even worse as of late, if you have any kind of computationally expensive but desirable content/data the crawlers/scrapers/scripters will pummel your site. Despite how annoying you find the captchas and bot detection a computer doesn’t give too shits about it and at this point they basically serve as a rate limit or effort to make your content too computationally expensive to scrape and be worth it.

While accounts don’t necessarily solve this problem they do help as another impediment.

I mean they were built to make money, the fact that you can send them a national security letter is just a happy accident that keeps the NSA from having to run more datacenters.

I mean it can.

You’ll just have to go and download your data again from the public disclosure (assuming they disclose all of it)

To comment on the video of course

That actually sounds like it might be an improvement…

If you hold it tense you get a rumble as described but the first time I tense it will make a little click. If I keep applying tension and release eventually it will stop clicking and just I’ll just hear the rumble and it will take a bit to “reset” to where it clicks again.

Humans are weird.

Edit: I quick kagi search turns up a Reddit thread saying the clicking is caused by “Voluntary Opening of the Eustachian Tubes” which is equalizing the pressure in my ears. That sorta explains why it stops clicking after a bit.

I can do this as well, as can one of my siblings and my father so I assume there is a generic component. Used to call it “ear clicking” since it is audible to others if they put their ear to yours in a quiet environment.

I figured out that was the name when googling about it some years ago.

Can’t lock people into some service if you do that. They gotta have that recurring monthly revenue.

The Internet has always been like that even before the AI stuff got up to stream. If you expose anything to the public Internet it takes about 5s for things to start port scanning if they can it try WordPress/Drupal exploits.

Did you not pay your protection money to CloudFlare?

I need to put a SaaS together called vibe VCS

It’s good they put it up front though. There can be a lot of entitlement with oss users sometimes and setting expectations can help alleviate that.

I mean it was a great idea of you wanted to reduce costs while also increasing the price of the vehicle.

That wouldn’t necessarily be bash though

I mean a paint spray gun is basically that…

And yes

I know this might hurt to read but the average reddit user probably is someone who doesn’t know how email works.

I don’t know. I’m not sure I’ve seen or encountered strong pro cyber truck sentiment. Maybe a bit of online excitement for like a day when they were first rolling out but now it’s been a laughing stock.

I mean of course they did. A public company can not be trusted to leave money on the table. The only thing that might slow them down is the bad press that might erode good will. In this climate though they were always going to strap Gemini to a machine gun.

I mean it pretty clearly stated to look more like an escape plan than exploration around when Bezos had his penis rocket

They just started rolling new postal trucks off the line so now seems like a good time to cancel that contract and sign a new one to replace them with Cyber trucks.
