If the domain lapses, and I doubt it will, someone should make Twitter.com a Mastodon instance.

Yeah, he was way too cavalier with the documents he signed while negotiation with Twitter. It would have cost him $1Billion to back out. But that is a bargain compared to what he had to do to come up with the $44B he paid for Twitter.

Not only that, it would have been easier and cheaper to just shut the whole thing down after taking ownership. His very public (mainly by his own tweeting) stewardship of Twitter is damaging to his reputation, and the reputation of his other businesses. The reality is, he just is that dumb.

And just when you have everything setup with USB-C, here comes the new connection standard, USB-D. Eliminating the audio jack is about planned obsolesce.

Thanks for electing a bunch of conspiracy nuts, America.

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just shut it down once he had it? He's burning a lot of operational money to do this slowly. It doesn't make any sense unless he really is that stupid.

He's emotionally stunted and stuck in the 90s.

Ventoy.net or Netboot.xyz?

Recently saw those on Linus Tech Tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EtgwIajVqs

Not at all. They created a great browser, which is what us end users wanted, but they never achieved their ecosystem goals.

Investors aren't great at seeing what makes or breaks a community. They just want to see how Reddit plans on profiting from the community.

The republicans have been brainwashing their base to believe Democrats and Liberals are Satan's minions, just pure evil. They'll believe anything that fits that narrative. Remember the guy that shot up a pizza place because the right wing fronted a conspiracy theory that Hillary was running a pedophile ring in the basement.

Not only that, they had goals beyond just a browser. They wanted to create a whole OS ecosystem integrated with the browser. They released Firefox as a side project to just get a browser in everyone's hands while they worked on Mozilla. Turns out the OS ecosystem in a browser was a bust, and Firefox was a winner. Just the Mozilla devs haven't stopped being bitter about it. The old Netscape motivations around the project have been a boat anchor.

And the plot points they decided to skip earlier in the season stuck out like a sore thumb. If you read the books and knew where they left off, you could see how those elements fit into the ending and made it a ton better.

Bullshit. While it was the most pirated show no doubt, It did drive HBO subscriptions and BluRay sales. The drastic fall off in show quality after season 4 did it in.

Nope. He took Twitter private, so he doesn't have to publicly disclose Twitter's finances.

So this is just an own goal.

Religious nutter says nutty religious stuff.

Going through the process of breaking our gerrymandered voting districts worked wonders.

The problem we've seen since ChatGPT burst onto the scene is that AI detection is abysmal. So many false positives out there.

Might as well, not like Europe will intervene if they find any election corruption.

They've mentioned in the past there will be PvP competition, like races, etc. Just unlikely to be PvP combat. Have to see how that shakes out.
