Pebcak. I have a feeling you’re not truly pressing the windows button :)

Doesn’t everyone? Microsoft seems to think so.

But then where will we find out what distant colleagues did 7 weeks ago?

My occupation includes a ton of boomer field techs. Literally all they do on LinkedIn is hit like on every photo the HR/marketing women post of themselves. It’s miserable, I don’t think they realize that like gets shared with me. As in, I would have never seen this random photo of a woman in a booth somewhere if they didn’t hit like. So my feed is a flood of creepy dudes liking pictures of women, and then an ad for Cisco. I could go back to Facebook if I wanted this.

I used to think Elon was just an idiot for buying Twitter and running it into the ground, but now I wonder if he was completely successful in buying a giant megaphone and making sure it only broadcast his pro-Trump propaganda. What does he care if it’s not making as much money?

This is very plausible. And an argument for why we shouldn’t have the ultra rich. No one should be able to do such a thing.

Musk is a useful idiot.

It’s not a coincidence, I feel, as it was once a key hub for journalists and Arab Spring activists.

This is why people flocking to Bluesky and not Fedi boggles my brain. Centralisation in the hands of capital is a precarious position to find yourself in if you ever find yourself ever against the state. They now have all of that data handed to them on a silver platter.

He is going to get so much contracts for his other companies, not to forget in Russia since he managed to put a kompromat in the white house

Musk hedged on turning America into an oligarchy. Will it work? Who knows. However his plan has been to elect a dictator as US president, one that will intentionally crash the US economy so he and his other billionaire buddies can come in and buy every industry for pennies on the dollar.

So thankful for all single issues voters who always fall for the same old shit, over and over again.

Congrat on your signaling. I hope you feel better while begging in bread lines.
