Isn't that just because RL went free to play?

You're referring to the tolerance paradox, and I completely agree with that, but I don't think that's what happened here.

Rarely see it spelled out that clearly, I think that's a huge issue with modern "progressivism".

I know some of them/some ex ones. When COVID hit they became a household name where everyone and their grandma knew about them and they thought they would become the next Google. Hired like crazy, employees with old stock grants were millionaires for a while (didn't last) and then the hype died down and everyone realized they could do the same thing for free through one of the various other tech platforms.

I only vaguely remember hearing about these phones, what is so special about them again?

My wife has it and exceedingly rarely I'll ask her to order something for me on it because it'll be the best price/quality/feature ratio I can find or it's just like one small cable and that's the only place I'll get free shipping but that's also extremely rare.

I do have the luck of living somewhere with countless alternatives, and they all deliver next day for free most of the time, maybe a limit of 20€ and over or something.

The people signing up for this suffer from serious illness and probably doing it out of desperation, not some adoration for musk.

Low-background steel, also known as pre-war steel, is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first nuclear bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. Typically sourced from ships (either as part of regular scrapping or shipwrecks) and other steel artifacts of this era, it is often used for modern particle detectors because more modern steel is contaminated with traces of nuclear fallout.[1][2]

Very interesting, today I learned.

Anyone remembers when Chrome was the hot new kid on the block and we all converted the "normies" to it because it was so much better than IE? We're reaping what we sowed.

It's what matrix would've been if the studios didn't think people would too dumb to get it, so we ended with the nonsense about batteries.
