Elon wants to be the only dim one in the room

[-] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 27 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.

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

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 111 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 37 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

[-] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 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.

Stop posting and upvoting musk spam.

[-] ilickfrogs@lemmy.world 14 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 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.

[-] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Who doesn't like going to see a circus?

[-] Anders429@lemmy.world 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.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 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 42 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 10 points 1 year ago

Fuck threads.

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 6 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 18 points 1 year ago

Well that needs to change now doesn't it?

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

[-] umbraroze@kbin.social 61 points 1 year ago

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 57 points 1 year ago

I thought changes were going to be voted on.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 47 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 7 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

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 16 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 17 points 1 year ago

"A lot of people"

Translation: "no one, it was me"

[-] Hextic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

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

Fuck twitter and fuck big tech

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

He should get that addiction to chewing wires sorted out

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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

Has he been huffing burning plastic again?

[-] Hextic@lemmy.world 6 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?

[-] _thisdot@infosec.pub 6 points 1 year ago

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