Thank you. Stated goals and actual goals for these people are always entirely independent, if they align it’s just coincidence / convenience. People need to stop being so credible and debating this shit on its stated terms, fascists don’t debate in good faith.
That, plus it seems very likely that he and friends are just manipulating the market to trade on the predictable moves he’s causing. Ya know, the kinda stuff that earned Musk some mild hand slaps and theatrical pearl clutching (in addition to giant financial benefits) in recent years.
Pretty sure the cryptocurrency comment is referring to Brave, not Chrome.
God DAMN, when your executive leadership sounds like part of some biblical scourge lol
“…and asunder shall be cast 10,000 seasons of thy most learned men, and…”
Not to mention every ladder-climbing prick who changes positions in those orgs’ mid to upper levels has to make some big splash in their new role, so they can scheme their way to the next one. AKA each of these decision-making dickheads are incentivized to blow shit up with each new role, and with the express intention of not being there when the chickens come to roost. Seen it quite often, firsthand.
Such an idiotic way to run the biggest coordinations of human effort on the planet, but HEY what the fuck do I know? Stolid, predictable leadership with a commitment to improving outcomes for all stakeholders? Wouldn’t that mean shareholders would do a little less well? Those gaudy yachts and mansions don’t buy themselves…
Thanks for the optimism. I sure hope you’re right, this does feel at least plausible to me.
Oof, have to agree, it’s terrible. Just this slow trudge toward mediocrity, always still so far on the horizon.
Thank you, protist. With all sincerity, I will remember this moment we shared.
This is ruining my night lol. WHERE IS THE DICKBUTT
You seem knowledgeable so I’ll ask what is probably an embarrassingly naive question!
What stops Ukraine from identifying and using drones to destroy all such facilities? Is it an issue of being close enough to pilot drones, difficulty in identifying facilities, other factors? Using drones to blow up weapons manufacturing plants just seems like a very effective tactic.
Yeah, until we get a micro black hole that’s piloted by a competent Katamari player, then it’s over!
Feel like saying more? I have a touchscreen laptop and have never built such a habit. Being honest I have trouble imagining how moving my hands off the trackpad and keys can feel efficient. What kinda stuff feels better?
@[email protected] I’d just like to say thanks for all the great content. Realizing recently that you probably have a bigger positive impact on my Lemmy feed than any other single poster, and I’m always glad to see your posts. Place wouldn’t be the same without you, cheers!
Would you say more? DM if that’s better.
Do you have any idea how much greater the harm across the globe will be, the more power these fascists get?
Cheers, glad to hear it resonated with you! Small automated donations to things I find important and unambiguously good (mostly food banks and human knowledge projects in my case) really help me feel more connected to the world and its current state. And in a productive, prosocial way - it helps to counteract the doom and gloom a bit.
Wait those are distinct?! Holy shit. And since Microsoft owns GitHub, that’s even less clear. Unbelievable.
Seconding this request, I donate monthly to the Internet Archive, but I think it’s time to start archiving more individually too.
Doing this exact thing, right at the moment I’m reading this. Oof. Time to get my shit together lol.
Uh, sure sounds like only/overwhelmingly his supporters watched it and were polled. It’s almost impossible to find anything that 76% percent of all Americans approve of.
Edit: if I would have read even a little, I’d have seen that others made this point. Apologies.
