Yeah, that headline is atrocious. The reality of the situation is sensational enough, I’d argue dialling up the outrage actually diminishes the impact.

I’m not up to speed on the discovery you linked. It appears to be a vulnerability that can’t be exploited remotely? If so, how is this the same as Intel chips causing widespread system instability?
Elon sees himself as a truth teller discovering and interpreting information that is outside the mainstream, using his deep and savvy knowledge of the world to understand what is and isn’t important or relevant and using his platform to promote it. He thinks he’s the only person with the courage to speak the truth.
In reality he’s just the 2024 equivalent of a boomer forwarding stupid email chains from his inbox without the slightest inclination to confirm what he’s posting or ability to tell the real world from obvious fakery.
This got under my skin too.
That parasite constantly refers to user content and comments and as being the property or Reddit, and his schemes to generate profit off the back of that asset are almost always to the detriment of the user base who are keeping him in business.
Like all rich assholes, he’s got this expectation that everyone will deeply respect and admire his mission to enrich himself by exploiting whatever market he has access to.
And legislate content ownership altogether. The idea that Reddit spent more than a decade growing its community just so that it could use our content as its own property is a huge issue. How do we safely and fairly communicate and express our ideas in society where the platforms that enable this automatically claim ownership of our ideas? Social media are middlemen with outsized influence.
*free speech if Elon agrees with you
It’s such bullshit, Reddit could have been so much more. Researching my latest purchase/obsession, and the only way to find anything that isn’t corporate sponsored reviews or AI content farming is to add the word “Reddit” to the end of the search.
As someone with an 11 year old account that I deleted during the TPA debacle, I fully recognise that there’s a huge problem here. Reddit created a place where people wanted to put their thoughts, ideas, and opinions, and now that they are cashing out TOO FUCKING BAD LAME EBD USER.
Edit: /oblig fuck you spez. Slimy little arsehole sold everyone out and thinks he deserves to be rich because his shitty site isn’t absolutely irredeemable.
“Taylor Swift is going to come out in the presidential election and she is going to mobilize her fans,” Kirk warned his viewers on Wednesday, adding, “And we’re going to be like, ‘Oh wow, where did all these young, female voters come from?’ We better have a plan for that.”
Kirk acknowledging a) the party does not attempt to represent young women and b) the current plan is that they hopefully just don’t vote.
One of my favourite youtubers recently quite his job to go full time on his channel. He’s been growing his audience and patreon backers and for a long time using the income from those videos to invest in his equipment and the gear he reviews. Eventually he grew the channel enough to go full independent.
It’d be really hard to do that outside of YT’s monetisation model tbh. I think most YTbers start of making videos for shits and giggles and any money they get is like passive income. Then they catch a viral video of find and audience and start the consider the channel more seriously, and explore other monetisation models and opportunities. I get the hate towards Google and YT but a lot of the oddballs I love on YT might not have a platform otherwise.
Why that is in an executive order, honestly, there is no good reason for it,
You got it right here but nevertheless missed the point pretty hard. What he said and how he said isn’t the point of the article: what he did and why he did it is what is newsworthy.
I just bought a ROG Ally.
There’s a lot of stupid stuff written/on you tube about it, but it’s great and clearly a notch up on the Steam Deck in most ways.
Agree 100%
Relax, you just didn’t read my comment properly.
Only person who doesn’t have to pay his bills is Elon. God, he’s an objectively awful person.
Those preview images look nice! Looking forward to hopefully testing.
I think the Lemmy community at large has been impacted by the actions of Reddit so it’s a fairly normal response that will fade over time.
Also, schadenfreude is a powerful drug!
Twitter no longer has a media relations department. The company responded to a request for comment with a poop emoji.
I’m the opposite too, for a different reason to you. I have Sonos home theatre (soundbar, sub, rear speakers) and Chromecast with Google TV hooked up to the TV. I control music on a pixel phone or pixel tablet through the Chromecast, Sonos kinda just hangs off on the edge of my ecosystem and I don’t think about it. I maybe use the app a few times a year.
But I get why if you just have a few speakers it would be a pain to use the app.
