  Not only is this showerthoughts, as you pointed out, but the person posting never provided numbers for those that were previously aware of crowdstrike. Any attempt to do so by those responding takes the statement beyond it’s intention.

  That wouldn’t be required for the person’s statement to be true.

  I combat this habit by placing a window over the top of whatever app I’m using for the video call so my eyes stay on the camera. That strategy is foiled the moment screen sharing becomes required, but more often than not I know exactly what they’re talking about. As I’ve never been on the receiving end of this strategy who knows if it makes me look better or like a weirdo…

  Wow! Just, wow. Such a detailed & complete database of interesting knowledge that I fully appreciate, but will never use. I commend you in the highest form.

  Not Google bad. Google app bad. Expanding the statement from a specific app to an entire company is unnecessary & waters down the statement to an ideal. Ideals are fine & all, but they’re based on opinions rather than facts. There’s no reason to make the transition in this case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU warns Musk that X spreading ‘illegal content’ after Hamas attacks on Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That has nothing to do w/ the topic of operating a business in the EU. Essentially, you’re suggesting that people should be educated to avoid devious behavior rather than holding companies accountable to existing laws. Sure, education could make existing laws unnecessary, but that’s not really the question. You either operate a business lawfully or you don’t. Society is irrelevant in that conversation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU warns Musk that X spreading ‘illegal content’ after Hamas attacks on Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sound argument, & ultimately I agree, but doing nothing isn’t, & will never be, the answer. However, in this case, there is a very clear arbiter. It’s the EU. That’s just how it is, right now, for operating a company in their region.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU warns Musk that X spreading ‘illegal content’ after Hamas attacks on Israel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, common & logical belief, but not how major corporations are allowed to operate under various forms of regulator bodies across the globe. You may have an opinion, but your opinion holds 0 value. Welcome to the actual world of global commerce. Glad to meet you!

  I would say it’s about as difficult as golfing. Try doing it a few times & maybe you’ll hit the ball. Keep at it & you can play the game on a course. Is there a learning curve? Yes, of course. Is it worth it? Yes, of course. Only you get the upside of the effort so nobody is going to do it for you. I mean, unless you pay handsomely for it. In the end…do whatever you feel is appropriate, but getting things that only benefit you w/o effort isn’t the world we live in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Money does not make any sense !!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t, nor would anyone choose to return to that paradigm. It may be forced upon society by a critical mass event. I think the more likely result, say 500 years in the future, is that no form of money exists. Think Star Trek. I just think there’s too many people & not enough work to continue w/ paid labor that allows the idea of money to persist.
