Elon wants to be the only dim one in the room

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

He really dimmed any room he walked in.

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

[–] [email protected] 113 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

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 37 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I can't imagine wanting to use Twitter for anything critical after Elon axed the security and compliance teams. Like finance. You're basically asking for your identity to be stolen.

Anyone actually cares at this point?

[–] [email protected] 28 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.

Who doesn't like going to see a circus?

[–] Anders429 12 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (12 children)

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 43 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 10 points 1 year ago

Fuck threads.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'd much rather have twitter than threads, as bad as it may be

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (6 children)

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
[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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)

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought changes were going to be voted on.

[–] eager_eagle 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 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 49 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (12 children)

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

..or, actually, 𝕏

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.

I literally don't care

[–] realbaconator 29 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 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 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

"A lot of people"

Translation: "no one, it was me"

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

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Fuck twitter and fuck big tech

[–] Hextic 7 points 1 year ago

IME new people in charge gotta "make some changes around here" to justify their position. But if you own it why?

Has he been huffing burning plastic again?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Where the fuck does he get these ideas? Is this a popular opinion?
