A capitalist would say ‘The market will correct this.’

Bluesky app also seems to require this for some features.

How many turds can you buy for a billion dollars. . ?

Yeah, they messaged all my accounts asking if I wanted to buy in. I actually considered it for an instant, then thought nah, fuck that.

Yeah I made the jump a while back with the API thing, welcome

Yeah this is one of the obvious faults in capitalism.

You know it was the French revolution that popularised the guillotine as a means of dealing with wealthy elites?

But yeah I don’t see how Tesla is going to ever repair the damage to their image, unless they can kick musk out and that doesn’t seem likely.

Damn, why’d you have to bring up the sun again?

They were already shitheads.

Yeah, I’ve been avoiding this stuff the past few months by only letting my laptop online for quick essentials things. It’s windows, I can’t replace it with a mac so it’s gotta be linux. Most online stuff I can do on my phone. But I can’t put it off forever; I’m going to have to try the linux dual boot thing sooner or later. I’ve been putting it off because I’ve not used linux since the 90s and I really don’t have time to re-learn. Gotta be done tho.

Edit - your semicolon inspired me to try one of my own!

TBF I know only one militant vegan and she’s been outspoken about it for years. I eat meat, I either just tell her to fuck off or ask if all her cocaine is ethically sourced. She’s used to it.

But yeah, all the other vegans I’ve known are really chill.

Maybe trump is beginning to think he might not win the presidency so he’s got to grift as much as possible while he can.

Yeah, it did this to me a few months back. Got the files back local eventually but it was a big pain in my arse. If I had time to learn another os I’d already be gone. Seems like Microsoft is determined to asset-strip whatever good reputation their product had left.

Isn’t this just voice recognition software?

That makes sense, but I guess the problem is that they take up a lot of space.

Yeah, it feels like a much improved version of an Eliza. Much improved, but still software. It doesn’t understand what it’s saying. TBF though I know a few humans like that.

Yeah I’ve been thinking that too. Not sure I have time to learn it though so I keep sticking with windows. But I really have to make the effort to switch.

Thanks I’ll check it out

Isn’t it invite only?

I had just started to appreciate twitter when musk bought it and it turned to shit. The big advantage of it was that it seemed like pretty much everyone was on there to some extent. Mastodon doesn’t have anything like that user base, though it feels like it’s growing and I much prefer the UI.
