Now when my doctor says to eat more salads I can point to this and load up on steak and chocolate!

When you’re just shy of a three trillion dollar company big jumps are harder. Plus with the stock up 15% for the month and up 56% for the year people’s, once balanced, portfolios are likely already overly committed to Microsoft based on how it’s performed this year. It’s hard to ignore a stock when it’s performing this well, this consistently, but it puts an investor in a precarious position. If you haven’t already invested based on the AI boom this year has brought, this wouldn’t have been a tipping point. It was a plus, but only a small plus comparatively. The shake up of OpenAI has much more potential for a big sell off for Microsoft than a buying frenzy. This was more silver lining on instability of a big bet Microsoft made.

To be fair, it hit an all time high two trading days before Altman was fired. Luckily the market was closed over the weekend, and the issue resolved in Microsoft’s favor before the market opened. Way cheaper to have the lead and a written intent from 80% of the brains stating desire to follow than having to license an external company.

Does the Tabasco go on the Doritos? Or in the enema funnel?

Maybe a CDN thing? Even viewing the GitHub repo source code I’m not seeing clueless_stoner. Eve…. Oh wait… there you kind of are. If I go to my computer and hover over @AvaddonLFC or view the markdown I see it links to https://lemmy.world/u/clueless_stoner whereas everyone else is a 1:1 mapping.

Maybe it’s how my Lemmy client operates, but I see all your posts as clueless_stoner, even your profile page. The team page is the only occurrence I see of AvaddonLFC

How do you fit in? You’re not listed on team.lemmy.world. At least the mobile view. Or do you fall under ? in community_team on the org chart?

I, on the other hand, do not.

Season 1 Episode 4 - Sex Machina

I saw that episode of Inside Job

Next you’re going to tell me Handsome Major Angus MacZongo Esquire lied to me too??

Today is going to be a weird day… definitely thought that said:

This is a pretty standard curve for a recently discovered thing. Everyone is curious what it is, tries it out then a percentage decides it isn’t for them and goes elsewhere.

I had to be pretty stubborn to get into Lemmy, never received the verification email (likely due to sudden server load) and no way to retrigger it, so had to wait until the new version came out. Apparently that removed the login block. Not to mention the filter on my account defaulting to showing no posts (needed to set language filter to include undetermined and my language), so it was kind of a rough entry.

But this number isn’t total accounts, it’s active accounts. So that means people who have logged in at least once during the last month. The accounts still exist from when people came to check it out, but if they decided it wasn’t for them or ran into issues like I did and didn’t return then they’d fall off the active user list.

New products face this curve all the time. Steady growth, discovery spike then retained user drop back to steady, hopefully accelerated, growth with a higher baseline than before.
