  • Elon Musk's Twitter takeover being probed by SEC

    Jump

  • Couldn't be happening to a more deserving guy. Between the racism lawsuits, his ex-girlfriend lawsuit, investor lawsuits, former executive suing him, and now the SEC? I hope this is the year we take all of Elon's money.

  • The only way to avoid Grammarly using your data for AI is to pay for 500 accounts

  • There is a second way, legend has it. The ancient ones tell a tale of the one that does not use the service, and does not train someone else's shitty models for free.

  • I feel like all fedi software has problematic devs, Calckey

  • I'm not here to defend racism, phobias, or any other kind of discriminatory behavior. But if you look deep enough into anybody, you're going to find something you or someone you know doesn't like. I can guarantee it. Are some of the original developers of a specific set of software "problematic"? Yup. Have more contributors come forward and added to the software in meaningful ways since then? Yup.

    Do you use Linux? Windows? Mac OS? Do you use Ethernet? Wifi? What about IP, or TCP, or even application protocols like HTTP? Do you enjoy TLS and AES encryption? What about the Internet as a concept? Every single one of these was developed by fallible people, funded by organizations I bet you'd have problems with. The military industrial complex has contributed heavily to every single one of the above technologies.

    And just for the record, a lot of the people that originally designed the ActivityStream and ActivityPub standards were people concerned about marginalized Internet users. Use the software, choose an instance that's like-minded, contribute improvements where you have expertise, and move on. The original developers of the Lemmy software don't matter, nor do their politics or their biases. They simply wrote some Rust and Javascript to run a webserver and interface that saves data to a database. What you do with that tool is what really matters.

  • Was it ever good?

  • Advertising revenue in Twitter crashes by 50%

  • The simpler explanation is he's a dumbass with a big mouth and he screwed himself over with Twitter. Now he doesn't have any lifelines left, and he's failing miserably.
