…for maybe two months. Dude is laughing his ass off.

He’s literally running for his freedom. If he loses, he could be jailed.

Thanks. I was wondering—isn’t this backwards. It is! It’s backwards as all get out.

But is it filled with the people that many want to follow and interact with? Twitter was popular for this reason, and people will tolerate being advertised to and sold on if it recreates that experience.

I had brief conversations on Twitter with Ice-T and John Carmack. Twitter’s nature enabled that remarkable connection. Could it happen on Mastodon? Absolutely, but those celebrities and geniuses need to embrace it. If it’s Bluesky, it’s better than X if only for a time.

What a tool.

Is he up for election? Usually that’s when they try to appeal to their base the most.

We’re really understating the Hungry Hungry part.

I just started playing it.

This is how Russia is today. No one knows what the truth is, so they accept whatever they want and ignore the rest.

People go where they think the people are. X is still the closest thing to Twitter since Elon came along. I deleted my account, but feel like I’m in the minority.

I don’t want Harris, but she is a significant step up from Biden in terms of age and representing the people of the USA. Also, I’d vote for a flaming dumpster floating down river over Trump so Harris is just a bonus.

Whitmer/Bootyjudge 2024

I was supportive of Biden until that debate. It was devastating to watch, and made me sad for our country. I don’t know if Biden should stay or go, but he should definitely stay out of any future debates if not the spotlight until the election is over. Americans have extremely short memories.

We all can’t be l337 like…looks at username…wait a SECOND—

“Imagine people paying for Windows.” You had me up to the point that you explained why Microsoft might want to get rid of local accounts. You’re doing the thing that gives executives the idea of forcing online connectivity.

Just saying people don’t complain about ads in podcasts because they’re skippable.

I feel like that’s where it’s headed. Doesn’t matter what we’re talking about. A shining exception is private company Valve, which has proven time and again that it’s a model for how to treat customers.

I can skip through podcast ads with ease.

It’s also a way to pay for providing a service. We hate it, but short of everyone paying for YouTube, it’s how they make their money.

Now double dipping is where things get questionable. If you pay for a video service AND they run ads. /Ripley flaming eggsacs
