Elon is worth over $200B. He has many people on his team that advise him about his wealth and growing it. It's highly unlikely he bumbled his way into $22B of Saudi Arabian money, accidentally withdrew another $22B from his chequing account, accidentally fired over half of the staff at twitter, accidentally changed the name to the asinine "X", and accidentally made the company hemorrhage valuation. It was a calculated move. The only thing he wasn't prepared for was the price tag because he couldn't stop running his mouth. SA invested $22B into the acquisition because they wanted Musk to destroy the platform. Arab Spring and all that. Do you think that SA invested that kind of money directly because they thought they would see ROI? Hardly.

Those DMs must be juicy for Musk to obviously stall for time in order to delete them from the servers.

You own a house. You already won even if you lost the argument.

If anyone was wondering, Florida's government is safely now within the boundaries of "fascist policy making".

A lot of people recommend Plex, which I'm sure is great, but if you want an actual Netflix GUI, Titan Bingie Mod for Kodi is the way to go. From what I understand about Plex, Titan Bingie on Kodi provides all of the same features.

They'll look at it as shedding weight before expanding into new territories.

Fully half eh?

I think the distinction between China and the US is how they directly treat their own citizens. Arguments could be made that they're both equally shitty in that regard, but in different ways.

Aggregate polling has CPC at 37% +/-4% with the LPC at 29% +/-3%.

It's astounding how when the API fiasco happened, it seems that most Reddit users who migrated to Lemmy were predominantly Leftist, leaving a bunch of copycat subs behind that are almost exclusively alt-right shitholes. The difference in discourse over PP is night and day.

Are you using the VPN locally on your device or router level?

Common sense still prevails. Don't install obviously shady freeware. Something like GIMP or Blender or Ubuntu or FreeCAD or ProjectLibre is going to be safe. Large community = most likely safe.

There are no rivals. Despite Trump's legal woes, he is far and away, with a commanding lead, the top pick for GOP presidential candidate.

America has never had a larger population. More people, more credit cards, more credit card debt. Seeing a per capita breakdown, or defaults per 1000 people might be better indicator of economic turmoil.

I can't imagine normal people on Reddit will want to stick around if they're actually going to be hitting you up constantly for NFT MTXs.

They're not NFTs, NFTs are bad, no these token are called Community Points! Totally different than NFTs!

I know these comments are going to be full of people touting the virtues of having backup drives, NAS, or other high level data protection, but am I the crazy one? Knock on wood, I know nothing lasts forever, but I have decade+ old usb drives still going strong. How do they burn through so many externals?

You must be fun at parties. No duh it's evidence. It's cut and dry evidence of conspiracy, so compelling that it's almost like he metaphorically killed someone and is standing over their dead body with a smoking gun. You didn't see the gunshot, but you can be 99% sure of who the shooter was.

If the huge asshole at the top uses their money earned as CEO to fund bigoted causes, yeah, I generally stop patronizing that business. Maybe you don't have the energy to care about things, and that's fine. Last time I checked, the Mozilla Foundation was still fairly ethical.

Well, in 2020 he did make it law that he was dictator for life. So, what's the point of going through the motions anymore?
