  • X is all atwitter after Musk announces buyout! Since Elon Musk has taken over as the head of Twitter, he's led the company into uncharted territory. He has transformed one of the world's most popular social media platforms with an open API and a limited spam problem into a bastion of online free speech. What was once a proverbial town square of public discourse has become a platform littered with bots promoting Russian propaganda, gore, and other not-safe-for-work.

    I blame tired brain for this, someone had just mentioned falling for an April Fools joke at work before watching this video. So when I started watching the video and heard the announcement, I knew it was joke, but didn't think about it being an 4-1 joke. So when it kept going on, my tired brain is like "wait what?"and then realized we weren't getting any steam deck news....

    It took me all of a second to understand what day it was since I literally just woke up and the moment you said your company, it clicked. Well played. Very funny video.
    I look forward to the latest steam os build that adds doge mining background tasks and does away with the silly linux distribution that replaces it with the far superior joint venture between EA and Ubisoft called doors OS. Finally, a true competitor to windows. Remember, at EA and Ubisoft, we own your games so you don’t have to.
    Happy April 1st lol

    Musk made some big mistakes, like hiring a former WEF-woman as the CEO. But we can't deny that Twitter now does less censorship (not no censorship) than before Musk owned it, that is a good thing.

    • @gardiner_bryant
      @gardiner_bryant  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Three things: if a corporation talks about freedom, then run as fast as you can. It's a marketing line used to sell dangerous products (tobacco, cars, social media).
      Musk is a corporation.
      He "censors" even more than Twitter did. And there's an argument to be made that his "censorship" is actually classifiable as censorship where Twitter's was not.
