So it’s not something completely controversial that Twitter management broke third party platforms, those that might cut into their advertising and data collection machinery. Incidentally, this is the Tragedy of the Commons that keeps brea

A few, just off the top of my head: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias_Döpfner Who apparently texted Musk during the Twitter transaction. He’s a media magnate too eh! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik

Pretty much. He’s been that kind of “magnate does strange things” since long, but since he publicly joined the political conversation, he hasn’t done anything to undo that framing. Look, some of his points have some standing but the points

I’d argue the problem isn’t really with the Linux kernel or the command line. The UI experience is unfortunately the same coherence of design horror story it has been since forever. Windows is of a terrible of it's own, but wayland, gt

Sure, also Musk’s behavior on Twitter is bringing a lot of negative press, and the fact he liquidated a ton ton of host TSLA stock to finance the operation. But indeed markets are not exclusively driven by rational thinking, just look up “h

Q1 sales will be great, some subsidies are coming to boost EVs. But the Q4 are driven to be somber by the subsidy start date; so they’re anticipating some of that windfall to avoid negative press, smooth operations and keep customers from s

I guess so, but just because some sweet subsidies are coming January 1 so everyone is procrastinating orders to that date. In practice it’s just Tesla “chipping in” a bit of the profit boost it will get next year, to avoid ruining their qua

And the response is: _This aircraft (xxx) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator._ Which proves my point. A motivated stalker will dig in and research but that’s inevitable, but the other 99.999% loser

Thanks. I prefer this comment, where your considerations are reasonably articulated and "on the record" rather than letting the reader project their own assumptions. I don't think Musk's behavior is capricious, but rathe

Well, it won’t stop a dedicated stalker but having to plan an execute is already a significant barrier of entry for 99% of the bored, drunk, unstable minds that would come up with the idea of walking up to someone.

Yes, thank you for reminding this forum, although I’m sure everyone here remembers or has already been made aware of this contradiction. Can you argument this point further or is it enough to imagine it with a trollface meme? Me personally
