Twitters UI confuses me. Where do I start? What's the next one? And where's the end?

[-] BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world 5 points 15 minutes ago

It starts in the middle. It's smaller and indented because it's then being quoted by the Polish minister on top. Then Elon, fuckwit that he is, responds at the bottom.

Was just discussing Eutelsat @ !stocks_eu@lemmy.world which has a big potentional to fill the Starlink gaps but also as a great investing opportunity!

[-] turbulentMagma@lemm.ee 21 points 1 hour ago

Calling someone else a small man really shows what kind of man he is

I wouldnt be suprised if putin beat his ass. They both might be old decrepit fucks but putin has martial arts training at least. This response to one of my countries government officials is also what pushed me over to finally dropping as much american everything as possible.

[-] popsyking@feddit.nl 2 points 1 hour ago

Honestly I think Putin would beat his ass

Scheduled to arrived by 2030, but the EU is developing one and it's sounding pretty sweet: https://defence-industry-space.ec.europa.eu/eu-space/iris2-secure-connectivity_en

There are already alternatives. Use a mixture of them so they compete with each other for your business. https://www.wired.com/story/starlink-replacement-ukraine-eutelsat-oneweb-project-kuiper-amazon-iris2-elon-musk/

As soon as possible ban Starlink for security, spying risk.

Are we really allowing this American man belittle our institutions for his own profit?

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 25 points 3 hours ago

No, we're apparently letting a South African man, who is/was an illegal immigrant in the US, and who's maternal side of the family fled from Canada because his grandfather was a Nazi and was trying to drum up support to make Canada a Techno-feudalistic oligarchy, do those things.

@alxmg @Blaze

I have been boycotting X for years now. I think we should all ignore that ignoramus as much as possible, and boycott his companies. Let's focus on making #Europe stronger and more independent.

[-] alxmg@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 hour ago

I am with you on this, I’ve been boycotting everything American for that matter, and Musk’s services in particular.

[-] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 31 points 4 hours ago

This post was the final straw for me. I deleted all my accounts on non crucial US based services yesterday when I first saw it. I was already angry with what is going on but it was a shallow meme boycott consisting of only drinking kofola now instead of coca cola. It got serious yesterday. Unfortunately I still need to think about the strategy to quit Google since pretty much everything I do is connected to my Gmail.

[-] Kumasousa@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 hours ago

My strategy is to use both Gmail and Proton and I'm slowly moving from one to another.

[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Make sure to leave bad review specifically about those services being bad and poor quality.

[-] cTp@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

But if they are not, it's sad. You should put bad reviews with other real reasons.

[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 2 points 56 minutes ago* (last edited 44 minutes ago)

If you put random political reason unrelated to the app/service, they can remove it. So be extremely critical about their app and services only, have some high standards in what you expect from such services for the free usage data they "steal" from you.

[-] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 12 points 3 hours ago

Isn't it really frightening to let a super rich ketamine infused buffoon get this much power?

[-] Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 47 points 6 hours ago

The irony of elon calling anyone else "small" is hilarious....

[-] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 9 points 4 hours ago

Elon is quite large actually, especially his torso.

[-] vesi@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago

Yup, nothing else of him is either big or medium sized. He has some complexes

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago
[-] Ansis100@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

You don't. What about Ukraine?

[-] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That is a lost cause whether they like it or not.
And this was with the help of those things.
I know it's not popular here to say such controversial things like "a diplomatic resolution" but I don't see the point of sending granddads, kids to the meatgrinder.
There would've been an agreement long time ago but it was sabotaged by Boris Johnson who want the war to continue to the last ukranian.

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 35 points 7 hours ago

Rubio shouted at Musk, so poor Elon took it out on a foreign country's government official and called him "little man"

[-] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 13 points 6 hours ago

Put them down like rabid dogs.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 20 points 8 hours ago

Starlink is just putting up cubesats with basic programming variations. The EU space agency can easily provide a competitive service that values freedom and democracy.

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

The "putting up" is hard to do, especially cheaply.

Oligarchs used to act the part, and have the appearance of being "classy".

Now Oligarchs are just a bunch of 4chan users.

Wtf is: "Be quiet, small man"

That's not an elegant way of speaking.

These people are supposed to be "upper class"?

🤣

[-] umbraroze@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

Nah, Elon thinks it's elegant. As in "Ha ha, I spoke like a big boy. I heard that badass line on TV once, on one of those shows I'm not supposed to watch. Bet that guy is now red on face and is so distraught he won't be able to eat broccoli on supper and his mom will yell at him. Owned."

[-] AreaSIX@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

"Be quiet, small man" sounds like a thing Dennis would scream at Mac in IASIP 😄 THE GOLDEN GOD! Dude is copying a comically psycho character from a show, thinking he's being sooo cool 😎

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

That's how dumb shit argue on the Internet. Ad hominem.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 32 points 9 hours ago

Hubris. This is hubris.

Nemesis will follow, motherfucker, the Moires don't fuck around.

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

BYD is already eating Tesla's lunch and I'm waiting for another to replace SpaceX.
