Elon wants to be the only dim one in the room

[-] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 year ago

Well, that's easy, he can just walk into literally any room.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

He really dimmed any room he walked in.

[-] yote_zip@pawb.social 156 points 1 year ago

Maintaining existing CSS is hard. Luckily, usurping all of social media as an "everything app" will be trivial by comparison.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 110 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Step 1: Fire 80% of your programmers

Step 2: Promise new features including getting into banking and ecommerce and literally doing "everything"

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit(?)

Seems like step 3 might involve stopping doing even the basics of keeping your existing client base happy.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

In step 3 is “lose 50% of your advertisers” and “completely destroy a well known brand that’s made its way into common nomenclature” among others

Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?

[-] Cybermass@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Step 3 is using chatGTP to break.. I mean to build your site

Stop posting and upvoting musk spam.

[-] ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Better yet, Lemmy should get the much asked for ability to filter out keywords from our feeds. Musk, Twitter and reddit would be blocked immediately. I'm so sick of them.

Anyone actually cares at this point?

[-] tekchic@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don't think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.

[-] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Who doesn't like going to see a circus?

[-] Anders429@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm guessing that no one here does. If you're on Lemmy, you're probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.

[-] SkyeStarfall 9 points 1 year ago

I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for.. god knows what reason

I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.

[-] RealThunderhop@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.

[-] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

Fuck threads.

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.

  1. Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
  2. Almost none of the people that follow me are on those other sites
[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Well that needs to change now doesn't it?

Elon: "I'm going to delete this thing."

Everyone else: "NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?"

Elon: "O-o-okay! B-b-but I'm going to delete something today! That other thing, then!"

(Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert's Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 56 points 1 year ago

I thought changes were going to be voted on.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

That gimmick lasted all of a day or two until Elon decided democracy was cringe when Twitter voted to oust him.

[-] Tygr@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

I’ve learned more about Twitter/Ten coming to Lemmy then I ever have anywhere else. I’m amazing so many people care about it.

[-] esty@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

it’s not a Roman numeral it’s actually called X as in the letter

..or, actually, 𝕏

[-] DeusHircus@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 year ago

Woooosh. We all know what it's supposed to be called. Anyone calling it Ten is doing it purposefully to further sabotage the already self-sabotaged brand of Twitter/Ten

[-] esty@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

God this wooosh shit is annoying you didnt see the other 2 comments first? can we leave that on Reddit?

[-] tyrefyre@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Woosh is way older than Reddit.

Twitter's going save money by hosting their website on Geocities. The new plan only comes with 250mb of storage and that dancing baby gif is like 3mb easy. Gotta clean up somewhere.

Imo so he can bring it back as part of the paid features, the dude is looking for ways to make money in literally everything

[-] Unaware7013@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

And he's so shit at it, especially on Twitter. Let's not forget about the dumb idiot going full fash and chasing a significant amount of advertisers away, I'm sure that helps his financial situation a lot.

[-] new_guy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You mean pay for a CSS re-skin? To enable light mode??

What is he going to Musk up next?

[-] inge@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 year ago

"A lot of people"

Translation: "no one, it was me"

He doesn't like competition, especially at being fucking dim.

*spits out water WHAT THE FUCK

[-] quortez@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

He just needs to chew on bigger, thicker wires. The kinds with beefier plugs on the end of them.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/KMER4ULvUx8

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

[-] Jaysyn@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Such a moron.

[-] MariaRomanov@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago

Fuck twitter and fuck big tech

[-] Naich@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Has he been huffing burning plastic again?
