I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.

Didn’t he already do this same sort of fuckery with Solar City and Tesla?

I stopped smoking cigarettes. I’ve moved on to cigars.

Peanut farm.

Alexis Ohanian is an untrustworthy piece of shit because he’s a crypto scam promoter.

Not sure why any developer who isn’t a self-loathing masochist would work for these clowns ever again. Rose was a brittle little bitch who threw his own dev team under the bus when Digg 4 bombed. Somehow I doubt that years of fattening up while marinating in venture capital and crypto wealth have matured that shallow tea-sucking fucker in any meaningful way.

I think that this company needs to be burned to the ground.

Well, this thing isn’t going to just enshitify itself, now is it.

There was a time when Apple was able to infuse some level of class into its products relative to competitors. I suppose they were able to do that because their growth was driven by exciting products. With their now listless and moribund product strategy, they have to cash in the equity they built up in customer experience to fund shareholder value.

Let me get this straight. This is the “free speech absolutist” doing this, right?

A couple weeks ago I drove past a Tesla dealership in Northern California. They must have had a dozen of these dumpsters lined up out front.

The lesson here is to never start advertising on that platform. You’re less likely to be sued by Musk if you never start advertising in the first place. Advertising on his platform is an unnecessary risk for your business:

Are you un-ironically suggesting that impeachment is actually a viable check on a US president?

I would be shocked if the company was actually breaking even.

Facebook needs to be burned to the ground. I’ll let you decide if that means in a business or physical sense. It is a cancer consuming us from the inside out.

I hope that some of the coders losing their jobs to AI find a way to poisoning the well somehow and create tools to undermine the technology, the companies paying for it, and the oligarchs that want it.

Given that we are going full authoritarian fascist now, perhaps the EU should ban Google, given the US tik tok precedent.

20 years ago, a piece of shit like Mark Zuckerberg would have used a similarly meaningless term like “political correctness” instead. Made no sense then and makes no sense now. What is the problem exactly? Is there something wrong with having an ethical framework and applying it consistently? Or, having standards? Using this framing, any ideological viewpoint is inherently bad, including the nihilistic and hypocritical one that Zuckerberg himself is expressing here. It’s all just nonsense, and further evidence that the economy that plied this asshole with so much wealth is anything but a meritocracy.

It’s not a crime to make people afraid. It’s provocative, perhaps rude, usually inappropriate, but not a crime. Your paraphrase is exactly the meaning of what she said. There is so much misplaced outrage in this country and this thread. There are people and organizations actively killing and hurting people, and that’s all acceptable to the prevailing culture here. It is appropriate to call them out for their awfulness. If that scares them, that’s a good thing.

Peasant brain mentality.

If she said, “I’m going to come kill you.” That would be a threat. Her saying, “actions like what you are doing have gotten people like you killed” or even “you deserve to be killed” are just observations, warnings at most, but not threats.

Imagine having moral standards that you apply consistently, ha ha ha ha!
