I’m beginning to think that destroying it was the whole point.
Tesla, too.
don’t ascribe to malice what can be perfectly explained by incompetence.
Yes, that is generally true. But Elon has shown time and time again that he is an inherently malicious individual.
Is it implausible that a jackass like Elon would spend a small fraction of his wealth to destroy a company that hurt his wittle feelwings?
not in a vacuum, but I find it improbable he would willfully want to do it in a way that makes him look stupid.
That’s how you get abused and keep getting abused.
Don’t fall for the glass onion
I’ve never heard that phrase before. What does it mean/reference?
A glass onion is something that appears to have numerous layers and complexity. But in truth, it’s completely transparent. It usually refers to people trying to ascribe meaning and genius to the actions of giblethead billionaires.
I watched that whole movie without a single thought of what glass onion might even mean.
I tried to enter my old twitter account the other day as I needed to check some info that was only in a tweets.
I couldn’t see tweets without login so In. tried to login and they pop-up me with so much shit that I didn’t even tried. They didn’t trusted my login and I couldn’t be bothered to close so many pop-ups to enter the verification code they sent to the email (while of course saying that if I logged in their shitty app or with a google account it all will be easier).
Sum up. I didn’t check the info. And for now onwards if your organization only post on twitter your organization is non-existent to me as I cannot access that info, plain as that.
Made a twitter account about 15yr ago but never really used. Tried to log in recently to delete the account. Can’t remember my username, just the email address used. Can only do a password reset if I know username. but no option to be reminded of username…
As someone who doesn’t speak native English, is $40mm
- 40 millimeters of dollars?
- 40 milliMillion dollars? Or rather, $40k?
- 40 million million dollars? Or rather, 4 trillion?
- 40 milliom dollars?
- 40 morții mă-tii dollars? This one’s a longshot
MM is a common abbreviation for millions in finance and accounting. Not usually used colloquially, but it’s not wrong.
M is roman numerals for thousands, so MM is a thousand thousands = million.
If it were Roman numerals that would be two thousand for the same reason II is two ones…
I’m not a finance bro, just pointing out where it comes from.
https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/fixed-income/mm-millions/
In finance and accounting, MM (or lowercase “mm”) commonly denotes that the units of figures presented are in millions. The Roman numeral M denotes thousands. In this context, MM is the same as writing “M multiplied by M,” which is equal to “1,000 times 1,000,” which equals 1,000,000 (one million).
While Roman numerals are technically additive (MM is really 1,000 plus 1,000 or 2,000), MM is still a fairly common way of abbreviating millions, especially in certain industries like oil and gas. This guide will explore how the notation should be used, as well as alternative symbols that are used in practice.
I think this says that IF MM is to be interpreted as roman numerals, then MM is additive and means two thousand, whereas IF MM is to be interpreted as the ad hoc finance unit, then it denotes millions
As someone who does speak native English, no clue. My best guess is that it is a typo. I think it was supposed to be $40m.
As someone who does speak English, I’m pretty sure it must mean 40 millimeters of dollars.
Dammit. Still larger than what I have.
Million moneys
Deleting X is a violation of his first amendment rights and he’ll sue all of you!
the first ever reverse class-action lawsuit
What is this? Facebook?!
Wait, X is still a thing??
You mean Twitter?
We’ve attempted this twice now… too many people are addicted to twitter and won’t quit, they are addicted to the twitter drama, no matter how bad the disinformation and hate speech get.
I think there will (or could) come a time. There has to be a limit. “Elon Musk sucks and Twitter is full of Nazis” doesn’t seem to be the limit, though.
I figured Twitter trying to dip into everyone’s pockets by paying for checkmarks would have been the limit. But what do I know, apparently.
Twitter being owned by a Nazi isn’t even enough. There is nothing that will ever pry their pathetic fingers from Twitter. Fuckin’ Fanta sipping willfully ignorant pieces of shit.
Solid Boys reference
Never seen it, but given what I know about the show, hell yeah.
The solution is to call anyone who uses Twitter a Nazi apologist. And it’s the truth. Anyone who uses Twitter thinks there’s a valid excuse for supporting Nazis, and a level of Nazism by the company owner that isn’t bad enough to leave over. The solution is shame.
The solution is to call anyone who uses Twitter a Nazi apologist.
The solution is shame.
At first I thought, “Good idea.” But I worry that it might start to dilute the stigma of the term ‘Nazi.’ People might start thinking, “They call everyone a nazi sympathizer. It’s not a big deal.”
If bad words only have a limited number of uses before they’re worthless, then we should be using them up against Nazis as quick as possible. Not saving our words while the Nazis grow exponentially more normalised. If we keep the Nazis down, they’ll remain a small threat and our words will have time to recharge. But if we let the Nazis gather strength, then they’ll overwhelm us faster than our words can recharge.
i wouldnt be using twitter but if i want to see don trump jr say that tim walz drinks horse cum, i need to be using twitter with an account unfortunately.
I don’t have a X/Twitter account anymore but can still read tweets or whatever they’re called these days
They’re called “xeets.” In my head anyway.
you can still read some tweets of some accounts, it blocks most of the new tweets and visible replies, plus if you wanna see anything spicy, you literally need an account.
technically the web archive gets around this but then you need a direct tweet link, and finding that shit is too much effort.
Read that sentence again and rethink your choices.
i would like to be able to do that, but unfortunately i’m not a republican so these things don’t have an insignificant effect on my life.
I guess I don’t get the joke here.
idk apparently people think i’m joking. Personally i prefer to know what the political parties are getting up to on the internet, and elon musk the cunt himself thinks i shouldnt be able to without an account so thats cool.
The choice of headline you went with made the whole thing read like an inside out sarcasm.
oh yeah no that original tweet is real. It’s not sarcastic at all.
I mean, I’ve never had a twitter account but I’ve heard it plenty. Just peek over at /r/conservative once a week or so.
I finally got around to deleting Facebook this year too when I found out they’ll cross post your Instagram stuff to Facebook if you don’t click a box somewhere.
I get a lot more stuff done without the doomscrolling.
yeah idk i find i dont really have a problem with doomscrolling, it’s easy enough to just hit the close button and do something else for me, other than that i like to see the stupid shit people are posting.
also its nice to verify certain posts as “real”
Just peek over at /r/conservative
is that somewhere on lemmy?
Fair, but if the excuse is that you can’t get the information elsewhere, that’s just not true. I’d rather give reddit the page views and clicks over Facebook or Twitter.
At least over there, Nazi content actually earns you a ban.
reddit ironically has a worse front page, and worse business practices, arguably.
I mean I agree, I didn’t like what they were getting up to, that’s why I’m here, but as bad as Twitter? Comon. Have you heard Elon lately?
i mean spez was head mod of jailbait…
They’re both pretty bad/
If a liberal does the right things for the right reasons, are they still a liberal?
Doing the right thing for the right reason is the definition of being a liberal.
🤣
That is literally not the definition of liberal though. Liberalism is a political ethos based on a number of tenets surrounding individual rights, private ownership of property and capital, governing consent via democracy, and an equal application of the law. There is plenty of room for those things to go very awry, and become what most would consider the wrong thing, for the wrong reason.
Does a leftists shit in the gulags?
What if we all uploaded extremely high bitrate, high resolution videos of white noise to break their encoding servers and skyrocket their storage costs?
you guys are paying for twitter???
You guys are going on shitter?
unfortunately yes, that’s where all the idiots i like laughing at exist, as well as mostly bots.
I quit both twitter and facebook 8 years ago as I could see the rise of fascism. I feel good about my choice.
if only we could get them to use mastodon and not pay that “x” lover a 10
Never used shitter, never will. People addicted to attention have doomed us.
How do I delete X? I’d love to, but I don’t think I have the access or permissions to delete an entire company.
Have you learned nothing from GTA?
Steal a tank
I thought that sort of corporate warfare was more Saints Row and involved septic trucks.
My thoughts exactly
It’s a matter of perspective. Delete it from your personal universe by uninstalling the app and blocking the website.
