And? Why take active steps to stop it from working instead of just stopping technical support? Oh yeah, to get more money.

They mean jank:

jan·ky adjective, informal adjective: jank

of extremely poor or unreliable quality.
"the software is pretty janky"

I doubt most people know that country TLDs are different from vanity TLDs. I know when I look up domains, they're usually all smooshed together and then the terms are in a giant block of ToS.

Spent an hour last night moving to 2FAS. Authy doesn't make it easy -- unlike their competitors, they don't offer an export feature.

Reddit expects to finish this year with ad revenue ... slightly over $800 million... Reddit had said two years ago it aimed to exceed $1 billion in ad revenue by 2023...

So they missed their two year goal by 20%. They had forecasted a 2.9x growth and achieved 2.3x

When it comes time to IPO, they'll just blame the economy and ad blockers, while showing how many users they forced into their app where ad blocking is harder.

Most of them are just dumb. Like a guy finds out his mom just died in a bear attack, so he and his coworker have passionate sex for the first time.

While that definition sounds ideal, I think most people with side hustles are still working for someone, just with flexible hours. DoorDash, Uber, transcription, etc.

The actual numbers speak for themselves and the clear motivation for this feature.

About 91% of the victims of rape were riders and about 7% of the victims were drivers. Women made up 81% of the victims while men comprised about 15%

Uber releases safety data: 998 sexual assault incidents including 141 rape reports in 2020

Women Plus were 85% of the victims. This is despite the "ways" Uber has implemented to increase safety.

While I don't disagree with the decision, I do think big tech companies are getting to have their cake and eat it too. They can simultaneously decline to host content, while also not being responsible for the content they do host.

At the very least, I would like them to be responsible for content that was reported by users, reviewed by the company's employees/contractors, and then allowed to stay up.

They're all unpaid and probably classified as power users. So they have no employment protections.

On top of this, they don't care about best practices. They're shit managers who were better at getting promoted than managing people.

Meetings on Zoom suck? Well, you don't use agendas, meeting notes, etc. Your meetings always sucked, you're just missing the dopamine hit from socializing on the way to and from the meeting.

Bad employee relations? Well, your 1:1s are really only status calls. Your relations always sucked, you're just missing talking to Bill about your kids when you corner him at the coffee machine.

Missing team bonding? Well, your team went to happy hour to bitch about you. They always hated trust falls. You just miss hanging out with your yes-chums.

In this case, Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI, so they're the ones subsidizing it. They can also offer at-cost hosting and in-roads into enterprise sales. Probably a better deal at this point than VC cash.
