He’s doing what the Board wants, stock price is up. If there was a worker advocate on the board, maybe things would be different.

5 day RTO is a stealth layoff. This is a feature, not a bug.

Wow I had no idea the subscription was that much. He mentioned it in a video without saying the price and I still wouldn’t do it.

The CEO was just conspicuously spotted with one of these a couple weeks ago, looks like it was a marketing scheme as we suspected.

Reddit is like this too on the app. Some of the worst algorithm recommendations I’ve ever seen. “You like (your local city subreddit), you might also like (some city you don’t live in subreddit).” Why?

The worst is that is has ruined my porn account because it doesn’t recommend NSFW subs so I have to scrape past random unrelated garbage like the Pokémon card valuation subreddit and /r/cement, I counted and it went 40 posts between NSFW posts once. On my account that is exclusively subscribed to NSFW subs.

We have legitimate governments tasked with governing based on the will of the people, it’s not better to just let Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg decide the law.

We don’t dislike government censorship of CSAM. it’s all a spectrum based on the legitimacy of the government order and the legitimacy of the tech billionaire’s refusal to abide.

Here’s the thing about nation state governments. They can pass laws. It’s kind of the main thing they do.

It wasn’t like a law banning X. They were Court ordered to do something and they didn’t do it.

Could that happen in other countries? I mean sure but not the way you’re implying.

I paid $100 for a massive 1TB hard drive when they first came out years ago. Thought a TB was essentially unlimited and wasn’t sure if it could ever be used.

What a crazy advancement to get to 8TB the size of your pinky nail.

Went to my glass door app to check and the first question was “what is your name? First last?”
