Why are you citing a Saudi finance account as a source? Also what the crap is going on today with Twitter and misinformation about this event, because for some reason it's trending again as of this writing and most of what is being pos

Agreed, but just to clarify: which instance did they sample? Because if it's mastodon.social, people can and do migrate off that instance to smaller ones, and that might affect the final figure.

I did a similar thing with my server, akkoma.sandhill.social. It's going to cost me about $5 per month (I am using a different cloud server to host it) but together with the $100 credit I got through a promotion I won't have to pa

> In more recent decades, being a session musician for regional or mid-tier bands has stopped providing a living, following the huge consolidation in radio and music publishing in the 90s and 00s. How is this a problem of recorded music

I honestly don't know how well (or not well) this article has aged. My impression is that 2022 might have brought some new developments (specifically the tech downturn and Musk's Twitter debacle) but I would like to hear what othe

It's such naked clickbait. Thanks for posting!

One issue with this article is that there is nothing preventing a person from having multiple accounts on different servers. I have three I still use because I was uncertain which community to join in 2019. There are many apps for Fediverse

Yep. Twitter and Musk are screwed. The question now is how fast Musk will bring about Twitter's demise, how painful it will be, and where that pain will fall.

This aged like milk before it was even published... Like seriously, between the legal and financial issues Twitter is facing from fleeing advertisers and stiffed vendors and renters preparing to sue over unpaid bills and the recent disaster

Have you considered that many people here actually work in companies and know how they work, meaning they don't need a media source to know that the Twitter files are bogus? In fact, most people here have brains and can think for thems

Big. Freaking. Surprise. I really hope the account is able to find a home elsewhere. EDIT: He has a Facebook page and a website. I am definitely going to be using the latter.

If that's the case, it's still pretty damning.

First, Wallace-Wells has written much since this, and his latest stuff is considerably less grim. Not sunshine and rainbows or even pleasant, mind you, but less grim nonetheless. Second, here's the best summary of Wallace-Well's p

The instance is moderated quite effectively. Freeman is upset because of Rochko giving into a smear campaign by a Nazi who has long been banned from qoto and is spiteful about that fact.

Sorry. I wrote that piece before that fact was known. I'll post a correction later after looking up current sources. EDIT: I have posted a correction at the top of the page.

Sorry to hear that.

Why is it that every time I read an article about modern British politics and culture, I walk away almost feeling happier about the state of the US? It's almost like God, while planning the course of current events, looked at the inhab

I posted this on November 18th, and given what's currently going on at Twitter, I still stand by it. https://mathlover2.neocities.org/twitter.html

This reads like parody at this point.

If I had enough karma, I'd downvote your post. Elon Musk has if anything made Twitter way worse for free speech. He is the most disingenuous, incompetent, narcissistic person I have ever seen head a social media company, and it shows

If by "solve Twitter" you mean "get the hellsite to go away". I do agree that insulin pricing is whack and it going down would be a good thig.

Agreed. This article reads like a cross between crypto bro speak and that project to make Minas Tirith a real city. In short, it looks really dumb and is possibly a scam.

Understood. Thanks for your response! I have never heard of it before either.

I think more than anything else Musk is teaching people to never apply to any company he owns under any circumstances. This isn't going to be treated as a role model for managers. It's going to be a model of exactly what not to

Okay, non-crypto user here. Just how big was AAX?
