This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It's funny how Spez idolizes a guy who doesn't pay his bills. It's also funny watching the hate pplatform Twitter get absolutely destroyed by its owner. The internet in 2023 is a wild and crazily changing place.
This morning, I needed to use image search for a bit and basically 4/5 links leading to Twitter wouldn't load for various reasons. That was not on Google, but I imagine, they have (had) similar problems.
Well, and for normal search, Twitter results are completely worthless to me, as I don't have an account. So, at this rate, no results from Twitter would be the optimum.
Musky is probably wondering how to charge search engines indexing his site for free
Blocking users who are not logged in has farther reaching consequences that aren't readily apparent. For example, there was an AMBER Alert a few days ago with a short link to see more info. The link goes back to a Twitter account/tweet. All that time sensitive, useful information was behind a wall where you can't see it unless you log in. Most people aren't going to create an account just to do that.
Using twitter for any kind of emergency communication is a very bad idea in the first place.
Twitter is doing everyone a favor by demonstrating exactly why that is.
Very good. An evil corporation doing evil things to an evil agenda.
Can someone please ELI5 what his end game is? I refuse to pay attention to twitter, but Elon, he's crazy.
shirley this has nothing to do with the massive outstanding bill twitter owes to google cloud
It could be something like that. And stop calling me Shirley.
One of my coworkers absolutely loves Musk and I can't understand why... The guy's a joke. I feel like people think Musk is smart just because he's eccentric and has money, I hope eventually everyone comes to see just how normally intelligent he actually is
I have a friend who defended Musk when I called him (Musk) an asshole. I choose not to bring up anything related to Musk to protect the friendship. Same friend has been showing other signs that he's being pulled to the far-right. Makes me sad.
All it takes is a lack of critical thinking skills to get headed down that road. I've seen a few family and friends get sucked into the far right ideology, but they were already not so bright people to begin with
That post image.
Is it just me, or is Elon looking more and more like a movie villain as time goes by?
I keep seeing it used for media articles because it's fucking perfect and accurately displays his disdain for the poors. The fact that anyone with less than a billion dollars in net value thinks he cares about them is both baffling and hilarious.
his disdain for the poors.
Correction: his disdain for everyone who isn't himself. He doesn't even treat his own kids well. His trans daughter changed her name to not be associated with him.
But he'll gladly suck some Saudi dick if it marginally increases his net value.
Side note; I'm so glad that one of his daughters is trans because it helped expose him for the absolute fucking bigot he is. I stopped being a fanboy after the whole 'pedo guy' incident, and it's been nice to have people finally come to the same realisation I've had and apologise for trying to defend him back then.
For one thing, this is sad because even more of the Internet is no longer reachable. The Internet shrinks, and will continue to get smaller as enshittification continues.
But on the other hand, this is really starting to look like the death knell of Twitter. It's quickly becoming extremely inconvenient to see any tweets on Twitter now.
Ah, that's gonna sting. Google is still most people's gateway to finding stuff.
Obviously, this is political and dangerous, and Musk should send a letter to HQ telling them to, well, go to sleep and just not wake up. Google knows exactly what they're doing. We already know Google has blacklisted Truth and Rumble, and other sites it doesn't like, and they're about to do it to Twitter. They didn't do this to Reddit when it went private. Also, if you don't believe me, use Bing and search for Truth and Rumble and everything is correctly indexed, then look at Google, and it doesn't index hardly anything.
I've been saying for a while now that Google is one of the most dangerous companies in the world, and one of the most partisan if anything.
If you think I'm being dramatic, just look at some leaked footage to understand how this company operates. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6162889/Leaked-Google-conference-video-shows-founder-comparing-Trump-voters-extremists.html
I won't even mention their news tab, advertising business, insanely biased search results or anything like that, but google in its entirety is an insanely dangerous company that takes action based on their political beliefs, and because of the scale of Twitter and Google, it's definitely discrimination and shouldn't be tolerated. I'm just happy that Google is getting less popular every day.
Can I please get this guy's face off my front page? ._.
