  • Google is on an enshittification speed-run. Close-source Android, combine with ChromeOS. Advertise the crap out of YouTube, draconian login requirements. Wherever their income is coming from now, it isn’t from making products users want. Probably the military “AI” overseas contracts.

    I’ve been de-Googling the last few years casually as functional replacements came along and I’m down to threads now, but the icing on the cake was their injecting an ad into a funeral ceremony stream from a church on YouTube. Sure, software-side, we all know why it happened, but just. No.











  • As if a man who bankrupted a casino

    Oh, not just a casino, multiple!

    Dug up from a previous post and updated:

    Mango Mussolini’s failed businesses:

    • At least four failed building ventures
    • Had a failed “university”
    • Failed vodka business (how hard is that, right?)
    • Failed steak business
    • Failed airline
    • Failed board game
    • Failed casinos in Atlantic City (how do you fail at running multiple businesses that only exist to hoover up money?)
    • Failed magazine
    • Failed luxury travel organization
    • Failed mortgage company
    • Failed presidency that took Pres. Biden’s administration most of their entire term to fix. We’re talking documents that are gone, departments that are deleted, abject chaos that had to be rebuilt from scratch in some cases.
    • And soon, a failed wireless “carrier” on T-Mobile with an “American-made” phone made in “Chyyna”.

    Successes:

    • Had mommy’s money to get him going
    • Had 5 successful buildings built, mostly in the 1980s
      • At least three of them had fraudulent financial statements, inflated valuations, and inflated tax losses
