To train Google/Cloudflare’s AI tools, and to double check against DDOS. That’s it.

Since when?

“They’re working on a ceasefire!!!”

+100 points each for hitting them, Deathrace 2000 style.

Meanwhile I can just use the same shortcuts every other program made in the last 40 years uses. Ctrl+Q to quit, Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Z for undo. If I wanted to consult a cheatsheet to relearn keyboard shortcuts, I’ll use vim and emacs.

Nano isn’t even that simple. Ctrl+X to quit? I guess if you use phonetic sounds to figure out how to exit a program. At least Vim uses the idea of “use what the words start with.”

I personally use micro in the terminal, and Kate if I want a GUI to write. Vim and Emacs are fine for those who want it, I have no stakes in the editor wars beyond “I just want my program to do what I want, and I want it to be simple to learn.”

A rare Aging Wheels enjoyer in the wild! That dude has single-handedly gotten me more interested in automobile history and just how cars do things in general.

Oligarchs are only for the rich outside of the Thirteen Eyes. American oligarchs are called lobbyists and job creators.

The fact that most people assume Arch is a broken mess because of a meme is wild. Same people would think Linux is impossible to use if they used Windows still.

If one person he is insanely focused on made a joke about him breathing too much, and they saw people laughing at it, he would. Instantly without second thought, because he never had a first thought.

Can’t wait until he just dies from his own incompetence.

Blueray/HDDvd was out before the majority of people stopped using their vhs collections.

Do you have a citation on this? Personally I was DVD only until I got an Xbox One, which could play Blurays.

And we got DVDs because my brother marketed getting a PS2 to my family as a DVD player and a Video Game system, as one of those alone cost the same as a PS2 at the time.

And we gave up VHS tapes long before, as space is at a premium for us. Worse quality, worse features, more work to rewatch something, bigger format, etc.

America only has bipartisan support for hurting minorities.

No? It downloads the videos. Your video player is the “frontend”.

There are legal complications with silencing a sitting US president. Before Elon, Twitter struggled to contextualize and mitigate the damage.

It’s not a 1st Amendment violation, and every president has the ability to communicate tot the public 24/7. At least when Windrow Wilson had his 3 AM racist thoughts it wasn’t able to get out fast enough for the press secretary to try and bury the lead.

Not to deflect blame from Musk, but Jack was just as bad. He openly let Trump ignore the rules and TOS of the website because it got more ad revenue into the site. Trump said the most asinine, racist, sexist, queerphobic, ablest bullshit, but who gives a shit when he’s the President?! He got suspended when he made Jan 6th happen. Everything before then was cool because it never got enough bad press.

Musk made it worse, but Jack is why it was possible in the first place. Jack banned leftists saying queer rights are more important than cishet feelings. Jack banned BIPOC from commenting on white people being openly racist and using slurs, but you called them a cracker once, you get perma-banned.

Fuck Twitter, Fuck Musk, Fuck Jack.

Mesopotamia has fallen, billions must die.

Bernie, I love you. But I’m way way more excited for a 2024 Ticket with Harris as the front runner. You’re older too man. Please retire soon and get a new similar person in.

Fuck Twitter for doing this shit. Musk should just jump in a hole with all his money as we bury him with it, Sunset Riders style.

Okay Grandpa, let’s get you to the nursing home.
