It's a pity that Mastodon's not gonna work out for reasons lots of people have said already; if there was an obvious successor that wasn't fundamentally flawed it'd be a go-er but there's just too many issues with Mastodon's structure for it to become the new twitter.

Rod Hoofhearted posted:There was never going to be a new Twitter because Twitter is a failure. It doesn’t make money, so no one’s going to replicate it. Well it's got incredible value in non-direct-monetary way that are still exploitable, especially if it was controlled by someone both unethical and competent. Fortunately it's only controlled by someone unethical.

If we were in the CIA golden years they'd be launching their own secretly CIA-owned-and-controlled twitter replacement! But they're just a shadow of their former selves now. PFFFFFT. Barely toppling regimes these days.

TwoPair posted:The only thing I can see as a potential bail out is SpaceX, and since that's not riding on the line in this fiasco, I'd say no. That said I wouldn't be surprised if the government and military is quietly very concerned about the best and by far most cost effective launcher that basically has the entire US commercial market being under the control of someone so unstable. It's a good demonstration of why they have the two-launcher policy and have been propping up ULA, but still, ULA's so far behind by comparison and all their future plans depend on stuff from Blue Origin that isn't materialising.

Revins posted:honestly doing more than sending rovers to and probes past/to orbit around mars to gather information, like we've been doing, is loving stupid. there's never going to be a human space colony because space is loving brutal and its approximately an eternity away to the nearest planet that could potentially maybe become habitable if we pour an endless amount of money into it There's a lot of science we can do and is worth doing with human missions, robots are super limited. Colonisation is another thing but manned missions can be worth it.

The first will cover 26 May 2022 to 25 May 2023 and must be completed with 60 days of 25 May 2023 which is sadly a long way off but I have faith is going to be a hilarious clusterfuck of results. Musky's so used to ignoring regulators he's absolutely going to just defy this and treat it with contempt and then be surprised when it turns out the FTC has a lot more teeth than the SEC.

So I know that the US barely has any labour laws and employment contract law, and the 'work from the office NOW NOW NOW' is an attempt to get lots of people to quit without severance, but constructive dismissal is a thing and promissory estoppel is a thing and they've been going 'we have a permanent work from home policy' for three years now and people have made employment decisions and life decisions and moved based on that policy, surely instead of lots of people quitting it's going to be lots of people suing on being forced to quit by the unreasonable sudden employment condition change.

Gomez Chamberlain posted:I have never understood this attitude in this industry. There are three tech workers. Senior Devs who have made themselves irreplaceable by being the only one who knows how something works. They don't want to rock the boat. Senior Devs who have built up skills enough that they can migrate from company to company with better offers all the time, unionising might look bad to a hirer and a union would make it harder to get hired. Junior Devs who are just out of college who are aware of the millions of new grads every year breathing down their neck and how replaceable they are in an industry that's all set up to easily cycle and replace them and they're scared and don't want to risk it when companies could just replace their entire junior dev teams in theory Also every one of these people is antisocial Also half of them think they're geniuses who'll be ceo of the next breakout app they're working on in their spare time Also most of them are vulnerable to Twitter chuds who convince them being anti union is smart MikeJF fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Nov 11, 2022 |

Frank Frank posted:Wasn't it ruled a while ago that social media platforms aren't responsible for what their users post? I remember that being a big talking point/campaign promise when Trump was in office. Yeah but twitter has 'verified' these people, that's what they're calling the checkmark after all. They've engaged in a process where they're claiming the user behind this and the messages they send are 'verified'. I'll bet that may make a major legal difference.
