A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Is advertising revenue so important to them they're willing to sacrifice literally everything else for it?

The same people who hooted and hollered about Netflix ending password sharing and then went ahead and made their own account anyway because they can't be arsed to read a book or find something else to do to fill their sad little lives.

The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it's genuinely there.

It's not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it's not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren't even needed!

This is so dumb it must be out of context.

I assume he will still have the block button though.

It's unclear if he's distinguishing posts from the users that make them.

Blocking users is important, but posts less so (but I still loved to block posts if they were obnoxious and kept getting shared)

Isn't this because he doesn't want to pay Google's bill that they already signed a deal with? I hope Twitter implodes and Elon loses millions

This is fan service for his troglodytes.

Who else would give them such opportunities?
