No, but their website needs an archeologist to sis's our wtf they're doing. Broken links, links to the most uninformative and apammy-looking Pages outide Russia, and obvious bs.

After trying to navigate it, it's obvious that anyone donating money has more money than brains, and couldn't be arsed to do proper research.

There's slashvertisements, and then there's whatever you'd call this.

I'd call it doomed.

Here's a thought - run it on April Fools Day. Maybe withb the pink ponies theme. Then we'll be forewarned not to take it seriously.

Reading from the summary and the submitters profile, botvvery much.

They want some space for an office, to park a bus inside, and a "museum."

2,000 square feet minimum.

In other words, they don't have a real office or anything else, because 2,000 square feet is nothing, and if that's what you're looking to expand into, you're most likely running out of your home.

The museum idea is bs during covid, and probably will remain so afterwards. The bus? Park it outside and stash any crap in a monthly rental storage locker.

Because this is a stupid idea, and if after decades it hasn't gained traction, it never will.

Times have changed, if we want nostalgia we can watch reruns of old tv shows.

They're tracking you without you clicking on an ad. How do you think they sell personalized ads?

By removing the identifier, when your device hits Facebook servers, they can't personalize the af.

When you see a "share with Facebook " icon it's already too late. You've been identified.

To prevent this in Firefox, disable downloading images and disable JavaScript.. It'll never hit the server.

Because the web is the weak point of the internet, web browsers are the weak point of the web, and JavaScript is the biggest security vulnerability of the web browser.

Try telling that to Trump. His latest brain farts this week were seeing if DHS could seize the voting machines where he lost (nope, lack of jurisdiction) and asking if the military could rerun the elections where he lost (too late, no authority to, etc).

Pitiful senile old man who has nobody left to bail him out - not his father, not Douch Bank, not Putin.

They're just reinforcing the message to Apple users that they made the right choice.

Also, iPhone market share in terms of sales seriously underestimates user share, since iPhones get updates for more than 6 years and survive falls from airplanes.

Less than 4 years to go for this iPhone 6 to hit the decade mark.

My Android phone, bought in 2015, died years ago, and only got 2 years of updates. So just as well it died, I guess.

The average Facebook user on Android is so used to being anally proved by google that they don't realize that it's not necessary.

But by pushing ads on IOS they're just going to make iPhone users even more willing to say "look, here's another example why iPhone is better."

Though everyone who saw the video of the guy who was making a video from an airplane and dropped his iPhone 6 out the window - and used "Find my iPhone" to pick it up from where it landed, and it still works just fine, is going to be impressed.

iPhone 6 - 2014, still getting updates last month. Android - nope.

Let us not forget, while Java was trying to force EE Beans into small businesses' throats, the open source community came up with Spring

More stupid, misinformed open-source zealotry. -

Swing was part of Java long before oracle got involved. You'd know that if you had been using the Sun JDK.

And for client-side development, anything beyond sun kjava Se 1.5 is more shit added on top than needed, same as later versions of c++ added crap to the base language that should have been optional libraries.

Creeping featuriris is always wrong. So is lying about the history of swing.

Java is a mess.
