He should borrow vast amounts of money from his loyal supporters: "Empty your lifetime savings accounts, I promise I'll pay everything back with interests!".

Then we'll see how much his followers really trust him when they need to put their own future on the line...

If you can afford a 1M$ painting, you can certainly afford to have it appraised once in a while.

Let's be real: who would work hard to make ONLY millions instead of billions? Most people would obviously rather stay poor.

The flowers were delivered by Doordash The victim arrived in an Uber ambulance.

The part-time doctor (student) mentioned that the hospital's rooms are now managed by Airbnb.

250$ of tips were collected along the process, but now it's not clear who pocketed them.

I'm sorry if that's harsh, but my feedback would be: drop that chart!

It's daunting, it's going to freak out many newbies. Too much choice kills the choice.

You have one "default" at the bottom, Mint, so stick to that. Tell the newbies they can switch anytime to something else once they're a bit more comfortable with the Linux-world. And if I'm not mistaken, you can install and try the main DEs with Mint also. Or you can recommend Ubuntu, or any other newbie friendly distro. Just pick one and don't lose them over what they could see as an important difficult decision before they even get started.

I'm more thinking about starting a 5-stars passport business online. Something tells me this pays much more than any sales taxes. The world never seems to get short of idiots.

Mozilla downsizes as it ~~refocuses on Firefox and AI~~ drops multiple products and layoff 60 so that its current budget can accomodate the stratospheric compensation of its new CEO.

The government, of course! Right before giving it to you free of charge because why not?

What's interesting here is they no longer need to hack and crack devices through loopholes and backdoors schemes.

All the data they need are already collected by private corporations with the pro-active collaboratron of the users themselves ("Click here to agree to the terms and conditions").

Now I'm tempted to start an online service to issue visas to all destinations for World Passports owners...

Assume the communication with the app it through Internet. The car must have a 4G chip (too early to see 5G in cars, I think?). So no matter what you pay, it won't work when 4G is retired. With marketing pushing to get new standards always faster, 4G may not last another 20years.

Anyway, bear in mind that once you subscribe, they will most likely collect detailed data about how you use the features and sell that as well...
