I think eventually storage density will scale beyond data size growth and we will reach a point where even videos are nothing and then distributed video hosting will be possible, but it's probably a ways off. Think about how much it took to just store text files or music like 30 years ago vs now. We aren't there yet but it may happen.
I hate wireless charging too, though. It's inherently less efficient than wired, and you have less range of motion while charging. With a wire, I can still use my phone while it's plugged in. Wireless charging needs to go away imo.
I hope everything just becomes brushed aluminum ffs. I hate all these glass back phones
Yeah this screams GenZ. I respect it.
Nah my bet is on Barry Bama who looks curiously like Obama but with a mustache and glasses on.
Speaking of superstonk, is there a good superstonk or wsb personalfinance lemmy community? I am subbed to the beehaw finance community, but it's really not a tube yet and seems to be a bit more economics leaning than pure personal finance or investing.
The subs I spend a lot of time on were FIRE, financialindependence, wsb, and personal finance and I miss them lol.
Also what hasn't been touched on very much in this thread is the increase in interest rates from the Federal Reserve. The money hose has shut off and expansionary business policy won't work for the foreseeable future even disregarding a recession. All these internet companies have developed and grown in an essentially 0% interest rate environment that rewarded growth beyond all else. With rates increasing, investment in risky companies that may or may not grow is becoming a less attractive option when you can just buy a 5% bond and so I bet a lot of these non-profitable, growth-focused web companies are seeing liquidity dry up and are having to reach profitability to avoid bankruptcy since servicing new debt in this current interest environment is basically impossible without solid cashflow and a clear corporate vision.
This is leading to all these companies suddenly raising prices, cutting staff, choking competition, and cheaping out to try and break even instead of grow. It's a paradigm shift.
Lmao my femdom, math undergrad fiance in a nutshell.
