- Comment on EU disease agency considers quitting Elon Musk’s X over disinfo 1 week ago:
At this point Musk might greet all your health-related updates with a 1000x boost of anti-vax nonsense from RFK Jr and an army of anti-vax bots spewing Nazi rhetoric, then you getting sued and your account banned if you suggest something “fishy” is happening
Fuck this absolute steaming pile of a website and the nutjob that smeared his shit all over it. No government agency should even this of using it for anything regarding public communications

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Because we are largely ignorant and easily manipulated by news and social media and there are zero policies in place to address that in any way whatsoever.
People can hear endless disgusting things about someone like Gaetz and a hand-wavy “fake news!” is all it takes for them to ignore all common sense.
It’s a disease, it’s terminal, and we have no cure in sight. Don’t be like us. Information warfare is real, it’s effective, and it does require very serious conversations about what is “free speech” is vs. blatant dishonest manipulation of the public.
We’re not the first nation, nor will we be the last to have our system poisoned and irreparably destroyed endless assaultd

- Comment on X Payments delayed after Musk’s X weirdly withdrew application for NY license 5 weeks ago:
I ain’t linking any bank accounts to that dystopian cesspool and its tyrant CEO with no regard for rule of law who constantly steps on legal landmines and skirts all regulations and precautions.
Like…PayPal had some bad practices, but nothing like the incompetence and complete disdain for his own users/customers that Musk brings to the table
- Comment on X Payments delayed after Musk’s X weirdly withdrew application for NY license 5 weeks ago:
PayPal was a service provided by a different company founded by Peter Thiel and others.
Musk didn’t really have anything to do with it. He, with others, founded X.com, that was meant to be an online banking system, and sort of became a competitor to PayPal.
Eventually they merged and Musk because CEO and highest shareholder. 6 months later the board of directors replaced him with Thiel while he was out if the country, but Musk still made a fortune with his shares.

- Comment on Amazon Says It Has a First Amendment Right to Union Bust 5 weeks ago:
Amazon found a cheat code where they can avoid all brick and mortar fees and employees and leases and store inventory, made Bezos the richest man in the world…
And somehow they just can’t fucking stomach the idea of treating their employees with enough respect to not jam propaganda in their faces all day to stop them from asking for the slightest bit more.

- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 2 months ago:
Yes, he gets a raging fascist boner every time some fails to assassinate Trump because he thinks it’s the cue to go full Nazi but really he just keeps jumping the gun and making it far to obvious deeply part of Trump’s ongoing fascist takeover schemes.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price 2 months ago:

- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 2 months ago:
Both major companies I worked for sold their commercial real estate and leased it back as one of their very first measures when cost cuts were needed. What we have here is essentially the reverse where tech companies scare off their workforce and industry knowledge so their can impart some secondary effect on the commercial real estate market so yes i remain confused about the priorities in play here.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 2 months ago:
So sell it
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 2 months ago:
Why should they care though? It’s not commercial real estate sells more computers. Staff still needs desktops, infrastructure still needs datacenters.

- Comment on How to make the Threadiverse a nice place and effectively make it grow 3 months ago:
Comments help. I feel like there are a lot of lurkers who’d engage more but a lot of posts never get any sort of comments so people are less likely to read/participate and it makes the place feel more empty than it actually is.
But I think back to posting on web forums and whatnot and it was always a fairly familiar set if folks and that’s not a bad thing so long as people are engaging.
