Due to Jenner calling her own project and memecoin a ‘scam,’ $JENNER’s market capitalization rapidly plunged to $5 million as confusion ensued and Jenner issued no concrete explanation,” the complaint says. “Investor holdings began losing the majority of their value very rapidly.” But Jenner wasn’t done with $JENNER: she minted another memecoin with the same name on the Ethereum blockchain, and investors–including the plaintiffs–followed her there, too.

There’s an old saying in Tennessee… I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee… that says fool me once, shame on… shame on you.

If it wasn’t fair use I’m sure they would have gone after Kurzweil (popular assistive technology program designed explicitly for scanning books) a long time ago

In Canada we already have Power Corporation (what a name), they’ve owned our Prime Ministers for decades

Rented this a few times from Blockbuster and played it at the demo that was always set up at Costco, it was a really solid system with actual potential. Blockbuster had a program back in the day where for $40 or something like that you could rent a system with 2 controllers and 2 games for 7 days. Did the same with the Sega Saturn with similar feelings, eventually ended up owning a N64 and that was not a disappointment in the end.

The ballistic hard shell cases with foam inserts Blockbuster rented out consoles in were seriously cool I wonder if any exist still

Exactly this. It was a very boring job, pretty much just filling out a form for people who couldn’t /didn’t want to do it themselves online… not sure what about it was worth sharing to begin with, would have been terrible content lol

Someone at a no-paper, no-phones call centre I worked at had their buddy film them taking a call then they posted it to YouTube, both of them got fired when someone in management apparently saw it online.

I always liked the translucent purple N64 and the controller that came with it. If they made a GameCube that way it would probably be my favourite.

I had no idea lemmy.today was that sparsely used. I appreciate their hands-off approach and the reliability is pretty solid. Just wanted to say I like what they’re doing here.

When I saw the commercial for this movie all I could think of was that King of the Hill episode where Peggy tries selling houses by staging cheesy family plays about the house

This has been news in Canada for about a year, story after story about people getting sucked in and losing tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. When it’s not Musk it’s Justin Trudeau, same M.O.

You’d think if these people read the news outlets they share their stories with that they would have seen one of the articles already because they’re so common. But then again people still take Sunwing package vacations then complain to the news when it’s subpar so idk.

Edit to add I blame big tech more than the scam victims, they have no protections in place and are profiting off the scammers immorally as well. They should have to manually review these things or at least be responsive to user reports and they’re doing neither. I actually know someone who got banned from Meta products for reporting too many scam ads.

Article also says it needs an app on your phone running to function, could they not have just developed an app that lets you use your phone camera to take a picture of your dook (meaning the device is useless)?

I had this happen last night, did the reset sound devices but had to refresh the active tab playing video to get the sound working.

You can also get straight to Volume Mixer in the start menu by typing Mixer, I use it multiple times a day for workflow

Amazing pictures from everyone, where I am in Northeastern Ontario, Canada it’s much less pronounced and barely visible unassisted, but Night Sight took a nice picture

2011 AMD Graphics MacBook Pro all over again

they started taking orders from presales in Canada and they went through the entire list, I’m not sure if any have been delivered here yet though

Honestly, I wanna see you be racist*🎶

When I comment that Twitter is trash and I’d never use it, the response I often get is ‘it’s actually pretty good after you block all the trolls and bots and corporate accounts and politicians and blue checks’… 🙄
