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.

After the election win, I am no longer that certain in how bad of an investment Twitter was for Musk.

It probably helped the Trump campaign somehow, even if not decisive.

And he will probably get billions in AI subsidies which he will partially spend on licensing Twitter content for AI purposes.

This was the point all along, it gave too much power the individuals and now he can manipulate it

He didn’t lose money, he just bought a propaganda machine. His image of being a dumb meme man may be mostly true but it’s also a perfect cover for fuckery

I used to laugh really hard about that shit as well, but I was apparently just not seeing that the guy was buying an election. I guess I just think too small.

Yeah he didn’t buy a social media site, he bought a propaganda platform

and the difference between this one and truth social is you don’t have to advertise it to get people to join, since half the population was already on it anyway and most people are too stubborn to leave

I have a friend that complains about Twitter non stop but refuses to leave. I mock him every time he brings it up.

He did overpay. He could have gotten it for cheaper. Considering how much money he has though, and the other primary investors being the Saudis, it didn’t matter much.
