WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Good game
That's brilliant.
"Alexa, show me THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS, but in a way which is based on a petulant billionaire's fruitless attempts to paint himself as an avatar of munificence, whilst also subverting the maxim so much that the audience roots for the other guy no questions asked. Also, definitely make the petulant billionaire look a dick."
She changed it to "fart" for some reason.Apparently that is actually the real actual Doja Cat though, bit of a twist. (eta: ah, apparently it's a fake screenshot and she did not actually change her name/picture to that).
Let me know how you get on please!I heard today that amongst other staff, Musk has sacked the entire accessibility team.
I'm actually gonna check out Mastodon as 1, I'm curious and 2, part of my job is advising on tech accessibility, - we may well get asked about it.
I wonder how little Musk will end up disposing of Twitter for in a year or so?
Once massive.I reckon we could club together on here and get us a massive media platform.
The day to delete my Twitter account might’ve arrived. Today while using it I was presented with a pop up window telling me it’s time to agree to their “tipping policy” which allows me to send money to anyone on twitter just by clicking some new godawful button they‘ve created.
The dialog box had only one button on it, “agree” and no way of cancelling out of it to get back to browsing Twitter without agreeing, so I quit the app to avoid pressing “agree”.
I have zero interest in sending someone a ”tip” if I like their tweets, and don’t want to agree to their terms and conditions which no doubt mean I can be billed via the App Store if I mistakenly press the wrong button, so I think for me, Twitter is now going to get deleted.

Looks like there was a problem with it overnight which might be connectedSome sort of problem on there. Can't follow anymore
Interesting, how can you tell?Seen a big uptick in accounts with large followings quitting Twitter. I think we are in the palliative phase now.
The Cheyne-Stokes breathing.Interesting, how can you tell?
Just a load of quite big accounts I follow (e.g. Paul Krugman) all saying the same thing - feeds have turned to shit and they don't want to support the abhorrent Musk by allowing him to monetise their content. There is a definite shift from 'I dont like what Musk is doing - considering options' to: 'I'm outta here'.Interesting, how can you tell?
I tried using it and had a list of people who were supposedly worth following, found the format weird to begin with, got much more used to forum type from here so reddit was the more natural addition, downvotes usually hide the worst opinions. Of course they now fucked up all the third party apps for that so swings and roundabouts. This place is about the only forum I have found where its actually reasonable and hasn't done something ridiculously stupid at some point and doesn't have reddits tendency to have some tedious repetitive format for responses to things in amongst useful stuff.I've never joined twitter and don't feel I've missed anything. People share funny or interesting things from there, so I get to see those without having to wade through the shit
Bone them.I tried using it and had a list of people who were supposedly worth following, found the format weird to begin with, got much more used to forum type from here so reddit was the more natural addition, downvotes usually hide the worst opinions.

Guessing this is one I missed lol.Bone them.
It’s a tedious repetitive response this site us prone to.Guessing this is one I missed lol.
