taphead Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Personally if I saw some soldier making puppy dog eyes at me looking in thru my window while I eat a big turkey dinner, I'd feel pretty shitty.

ignatius Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 of course. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/08/15/twitter-x-links-delayed/ The company formerly known as Twitter has been slowing the speed with which users could access links to the New York Times, Facebook and other news organizations and online competitors, a move that appeared targeted at companies that have drawn the ire of owner Elon Musk. On Tuesday afternoon, hours after this story was first published, X began reversing the throttling on some of the sites, dropping the delay times back to zero. It was unknown if all the throttled websites had normal service restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

may be rude Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) wild that the dude is rebranding twitter as X. what? replace the major global brand name with some new stupid bullshit? what possible marketing sense does that make? who the fuck wants to use X? seriously, WHAT? i swear this dude just wanted to destroy twitter for shady reasons and botch the roll out? (half of presence is still twitter and half is X) just the latest in a series of massive "wtf" decisions that are consistent with someone trying to destroy twitter and not consistent with someone trying to make the platform successful and LOL at just taking his old idea and renaming twitter as that. rather than build X, just buy twitter and name it that. someone get this guy a horse coincidentally, this move permanently fucks twitter, so that even if he sells it, it's fucked from returning to its former state Edited August 19, 2023 by trying to be less rude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know enough about financial cat and mouse games to make sense of it. it really does come across as an ego thing. baby Elon got mad during the months of will he / won't he buy it negotiations last year, wanted to screw the place up to stick it to the libs, or something like that. he may have been thinking to turn it into a maga stronghold, but then donnie boy un-friended him, so now he's left with a sinking ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
