does birdsite have saved payments ?? (or does it do the thing where they go through the google / apple app stores?) also again Musk is dancing on the 3rd rail of pissing off all the Big 4 Processors.

The Question IRL posted:Irish Comedian Dara O'Brien discovered he got a Blue Tick over night. Seems like Elon is handing them out at random. It looks like any account with over 1 million followers is being given the bluecheck automatically now. Hence all the dead celebs getting branded with the mark of the beast.

Obviously the first step to revenue sharing is automatically spending your first portion on blue.

Considering how few people trusted shopping online back in 1995. I think asking if the internet would be used for online shopping is a legitimate question. No idea when the interview occurred but the first recorded secure online transaction wasn’t until like august 1994. Like it’s so obvious now but back then most people just naturally assumed you’d get immediately hacked if you tried to buy something online.

And also institute a policy where if you aren’t subscribed to you can’t block anyone who is, or maybe they just institute a block limit, where as a pleb you can’t block more than 100 of those motherfuckers.He WANTS to do these things. He doesn’t NEED them, but the difference has not stopped him before and I want him to go all-in now e: I want him to get to the expected conclusion, where everybody’s feed is filled with bazingas and white supremacists and when you open the app, it’s a blue-checked 100 followers account saying “kill all trans!” and “1776!” and then right below that is an ad for apple or Microsoft or Netflix MrMojok fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Apr 23, 2023 |

He’s saying “Hey that thing all you people who massage my ego and prostate pay $8 per month for? We’re using it as a punitive measure now” and he feels like he’s WINNING by doing this, and all the Musksuckers and his millions-strong bot army are tweeting “Epic Ownage, Sir! 🤣🤣🤣” six times every ten seconds

What I found especially funny or "funny" about it (this was in 1999 or so that I ran into it) was that Gates responded to the question with a bunch of rambling mealy-mouthed empty nonsense about how phenoooomenal an opportunity the broader acceptance of the Internet/Web was, and then he/MS proceeded to contribute nothing to actually bringing that about (and arguably stood in its way as much as possible). That's what feels so familiar about now and Musk

It's amazing how quickly Elon ruined the value of something and made it all but worthless, when before it was a thing most people wanted and paid for. Takes a special kind of person to achieve that.

I'm not saying it was the most dominant opinion in 95. But it was a thing. The simpsons was still making fun of e-commerce being a do-nothing get rich quick scheme in 1998. compu global hyper mega net
