The concept of speaking freely is not exclusive to legislation. Musk specifically bought this platform because, according to himself, he saw it as an important place for human discourse and the freedom to speak your mind was being inhibited by the policies around moderation. Which is ironic because he implements policies that ban you for speaking out over arbitrary topics while the previous policies simply banned hate speech.

Musk couldn’t care less about free speech. He has implemented a policy that bans you for using the word “cisgender” while he responds to nazi propaganda with personal admiration.

Pretty much. Meanwhile other stores engage in actual behaviour that deserves an anti-trust lawsuit like buying up developer studio’s and making their games exclusive to their own platforms. Or paying devs to make games exclusive to their store temporarily. You know, things that actually screw the consumer over.

Valve has been the market leader for years and still hasn’t let the consumer down. Their business strategy comes down to offering us the best possible service. Meanwhile crappy stores like Epic Games try to lure you in with free games and timed exclusives and I still gave up on their featureless mess of a platform.

Civilians? Never heard of 'em!

It’s more than odd, it’s deception. He has been talking to his donators as if the money has been going to charities for years. He has named specific charities that haven’t received a single dime from them.

He’s already caught in a lie. Even if his unbelievable story that he, the director of the charity, was unaware the charity never did anything charitable for as long as it has existed (this already makes him guilty of failing the donators by incompetence), he still lied about knowing where the money went for all those years to the donators and CONTINUED TO DO SO AFTER HE ADMITTED HE KNEW ABOUT IT.

Now he claims that he has been looking for worthy charities for over a year while he could easily just donate the money to the charities he has been talking about for years already.

You were commiting fraud. He did nothing wrong by reporting you. Don’t want to get reported? Don’t commit fraud.

I’d agree if they were colleagues/strangers. I would never report a friend for that. I’d voice my opinion at the most but reporting them is effectively nuking the friendship.

Are you sure you were ever friends? I wouldn’t treat my worst enemy that way.

I’d just straight up tell him to leave you the fuck alone.

As if they’ll lower the price once they’ve recouped the R&D costs ten times over.

Jokes on you, I’m into that shit.

I don’t trust some billionaire with a direct interface into my neural abilities. I know Musk had no problems using his satilites to sabotage Ukraine’s army to appease Putin.

A brain implant could be a solution for people with brain damage or born deficits that help them regain lost abilities.

I would never have one implanted as a luxury gadget though.

If you look at the peer review file, you’ll see that they spent a year improving the paper after sever critical criticisms were made by the reviewers. They’ve collected more data and entirely redid the analysis. It’s a different paper now compared to their first manuscript of 2021.

The Netherlands had a recent court ruling that established that if the employer is satisfied with your performance, then it doesn’t matter how much time you spent doing your job. This was in a case recarding a man secretly working multiple jobs.

He made a thousand dollar donation in support of proposition 8, a constitutional amendment in California that strips gay people of the right to marry. He then proceeded to argue that such a donation does not make him a bigot or an enemy of LGBTQ+ people, because he’s a delusional piece of filth.

This effectively prevented gay people from marrying in California from 2008 to 2013 until the fascists that supported it were finally done trying to argue how this doesn’t violate the US constitution.

So yeah, may he, his browser, and any pathethic excuse that pretends to be human being who supported this abomination rot in the deepest depths forever.

The fact that their founder wants to ban gay marriage is enough reason for me to avoid it like the plague.

Calm down, no one’s getting exploited. Many people like trying out new features that aren’t available yet for stable releases.

Tea

I just can’t. I can play it during weekends and hollidays but after a day’s work my brain is too fried to design factories.
