Intro\n

Randy Talks about Twitter, other tech news, and tech hype.

\nFBI was paying off Twitter.\n

\n
• It likely happened. The guy that owns it is presenting the data. Look up Michael Shellenberger on Twitter.
  \nIt was brought up that Apple was originally thinking about removing Twitter from the App store. Elon Must was even talking about Apple potentially removing Twitter. That got squashed really quickly - it came out that Twitter never ever considered removing Twitter. It just feels like yet more toxic information spread by the corrupt news media.
  \n
\n
• People announcing they're leaving Twitter. An example would be the St. Louis Mayor, Tishaura Jones. November 24th was her last Tweet. The media is running with this story that
\n
• Wikipedia called the suspension of some Twitter journalists' accounts "The Thursday Night Massacre"
\n
• "As Elon Musk Logs on as the New Boss of Twitter, Thousands Are Logging Off For Good." - I be the writer of that article really thought they hit a home run with that one...Similar to me making a dad joke.

\nGoogle Chrome Getting Memory and Energy Saver Modes\n

\n
• Not sure if this feature is going to help free up memory when Google tries to prevent you from blocking ads that you don't want to see. Google doesn't care about your internet experience and are using you.Here is the TechCrunch article that talks about only the good parts of Google's shady practices.

\nApple Maps is Better Than Google Maps\n

Apple Maps has come a really long way. It used to be the worst. Now, I think it's the best, since Apple doesn't bank on selling every piece of information about you like Google does. Does it annoy me that Apple Maps is locked to only Apple devices? Yes, that's the main thing that I can't stand about Apple - Their overpriced App Store (for shoppers and authors), and their walled garden concept.
\nI do think that, in the long run, the company that survives by selling it's users, will lose.

\nClosing Remarks\n
