When you say what a word "means", what do you mean by "mean?" It's actually not a trivial question.

The Italian tech holding company Bending Spoons, has developed a reputation for buying tech companies past their peak and aggressively cutting costs.
The firm acquired Evernote in 2022, followed by Meetup and WeTransfer in 2024, and AOL and Eventbrite in 2025.
Layoffs followed many of those deals. In September 2024, just months after being acquired by Bending Spoons, WeTransfer laid off 75% of its staff.
Just months after Bending Spoons bought Vimeo for $1.38 billion last ye…

TFW you notice that your Synology-local-backup to cloud-backup hasn't been working since you moved in October 2024 because you’d stupidly hardwired the Synology DNS to the former residence’s now-wrong 192.168.

Just 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for half the global carbon dioxide emissions driving the climate crisis in 2024,
down from 36 a year earlier, a report has revealed.
Saudi Aramco was the biggest state-controlled polluter
and ExxonMobil was the largest investor-owned polluter.
Critics accused the leading fossil fuel companies of
“sabotaging climate action” and
“being on the wrong side of history”
but said the emissions data was increasing…

Found an old power bill while cleaning up. In the end of 2018 I was paying 9.05 c/kWh for the first 600 kWh and 10.94 above.
Now it's 15.1 and 17.0.
The rate of increase was very much nonlinear though: from October 2018 to October 2024 (six years) the tier 1 rate only climbed by 27%.
It went up 10.5% in 2024 and 20.7% in 2025 alone.
