Ok, this is hilarious. First Zuck makes his own Twitter which made Elon so angry he wanted to fight him in real life (Will never happen cuz he’s a little bitch lol) and now Zuck owns the fucking letter Elon wants to name his app as.

Yeah, for me it’s the various subs like Ukraine, ukrainewarvideoreport, combatfootage, ncd I visited that I miss the most. Here on Lemmy these subs exist but the have maybe 10% of the activity.

It’s him with a 95% probability

I’m this guy in the picture apparently because I “walk to loud” with my morbidly obese 60kg body.

But isn’t it debatable which impact Elon had on his companies? Elon is someone who is reaching for the stars (literally) and that’s the one thing he is good at. Believing he can achieve things so incredible unrealistic no one else would try to achieve them. And yes someone with a vision is important but Musk didn’t invent any of the tech his companies are producing. His employees do the heavy lifting and he doesn’t treat them exactly great for it.

But the thing is all the things I just mentioned don’t even really matter because It’s completely irrelevant wether a person does good things while being an asshole to everyone around him. If someone is an asshole I will call him an asshole. But I admit that some parts of my comment were hyperbolic

In Germany every asshole drives an BMW, but not every BMW driver is an asshole. It’s a German brand so they much cheaper than in America because there are no import costs. Yes, they still are substantially more expensive than a VW but there are much more a car every other German drives than something special. If we only talk about the higher end models - sure.

To be honest I kinda want threads to crush Twitter because I despise Musk so much, a lot more than Zuckerberg. Yes, Meta is a horrible company who steals all your data but if I just look at the person behind it I would know who I would kill if I only can choose one. Threads isn’t a Lemmy competitor anyway, they work so different. I think Mastodon might get an issue because sites like Mastodon/Threads/Twitter are all about getting famous people on your site and let’s be real: Most famous people are not hardcore nerds, some of them might not even heard of Linux. If they can choose between Twitter itself, Twitter by Facebook , or Twitter for nerds (c’mon you know that’s true at the moment) I don’t know what they will choose but I DO know what they will NOT choose. I hope Twitter fails because it turns into a shit hole and threads fails because it never reaches critical mass.

I’ma get hate for this but I’m not pirating out of principle but when I think something it’s to expensive for it’s price. I live in a country with good salaries and have to work less than one hour for one month of endless music. To me that is a good deal but I am aware that it is not to everyone especially those from other countries. I mostly pirate Movies and TV Shows because you would need to pay over 50€/month to get access to all services.
