    Meta, x alphabet… All these renamings and they all suck donkey balls. Not one cool name. And all 3 have gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse.

      Nah, they’d fit pretty good to the dystopia you’ll be / you’re already living in. Don’t tell me the acronyms of GAFAM (Google (Alphabet), Apple, Facebook (Meta), Amazon and Microsoft ) and FAANG ( Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google ) don’t sound like some end-of-world ushering big corps à la umbrella corporation.

        MAMAA (Meta Alphabet Microsoft Amazon Apple) also fits our cyberpunk dystopia quite well.

          If you switch Meta and Microsoft, and Alphabet and Apple, you almost have it sorted by market cap.

            Intel and we just need Qualcomm to change their name.

            LOL! That seems like a natural evolution of Carl’s Jr’s weird, male oriented marketing.

              It’s from the movie Idiocracy, for those unaware. Their slogan used to be “Don’t bother me, I’m eating!”

                Ah, I started that movie, but I never finished it. I really should watch it again. Although I guess I can just read the news for the prequel.
