Freebasing that fedi

What's awful is- I can find this news in other places using RSS. Not nearly as quick but... Who cares? Like wtf difference does it make?

It's the fascists who SHOULD go, but that's not often how it works in reality. And LOTS of people are trying to flee. Not everyone can or should fight. It's going to be a long and hard, but necessary, road to fascists being held to account.

I just mean that trying to apply the Nazi bar meme to an entire country because people are not immediately surrendering and fleeing the fascists seems kind of counter productive.

And does Grok's 'output' include its waste emissions in Memphis?

Like what the fuck is possibly on there that justifies using that piece of shit platform?

People. Lots of people. Including Doctor Cory Doctorow and Molly White.

Heh, that kinda reminds me of Microsoft Tay.

But she’ll never wash that stanky musk off her upper lip.

In response (or so it seems) to her tweeted resignation, someone managed to get Grok to sexually harass her

she was just a standin for trump, who was still the actual chairman/ceo, she is put there to take the blame for X's criticism.

AKA a GLASS cliff situation.

she has to make musk happy, i wonder if musk tried to get her pregnant, since thats his fetish

2 foreign parties have interest in keeping it up. MSB and putin.

half of the users are probably porn OF accounts, i wonder if any of them actually divested from x. we know meta doesnt allow porn of any kind.

The Nazi looked up to the US. They loved how we slaughtered the Native Americans and based their Holocaust on our policies. Wealthy people from the US were integral to funding the Nazi party.

You do the math.

In possible defense of this woman...

So initially, she's a woman brought on for a top leadership position to a problematic company. This is her chance to make some money and turn things around... And woman having top roles in business is a great thing. 100 years ago, that simply did not happen. Although there's still a fight for gay rights, trans rights, and the right of marginalized people, and there's still people being genocided and with no human rights, and people being tortured, that doesn't mean the struggle for woman's rights is over and that there's not some value to women taking top positions at large corporations.

And she made some progress on making that company less unappealing to advertisers, and did some good things...

AND THEN came the Elon Musk Hitler salute. And she probably had invested a lot of time and energy into the role, was being paid well, and was frustrated. Is she, as a woman in business, required to walk away from her efforts just because Elon Musk is a PR disaster and prejudiced person?

And then THIS finally happened. Her whole thing was just to be a businesswoman, be professional, and help make things profitable for this business unit, and this new AI change (which she almost certainly had nothing to do with and completely sucker punched her out of nowhere) completely undermined her.

So she did the smart thing and walked away. It was too much, it was undercutting her effort, she's moving on. Her last tweet was also very professional and corporate. She's a businesswoman.

Should she have left sooner? Should she have taken a stand against transphobia and some of the awful things on Xitter earlier? Yes, but also she had a boss, she had worked hard to get to where she was, and perhaps she wanted to make more money before exiting.

Does anyone know if she personally has done anything that indicates bigotry or prejudice towards trans people or Jewish people or anyone being genocided or tortured? I think her situation is somewhat understandable.

Even if we want to work toward a more egalitarian world in which all people have rights and are respected, woman will still be in organizations, most likely (if global warming doesn't kill us all), and so shouldn't woman be able to succeed?

Time or technical challenge are not the issue. The issue is that the utility of a social network is a function of the number of individuals in that network.

That's why Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit all still have dominant positions in their regimes. If you want to see what your friends are saying you need to be on the same network they are on. And if they are on Twitter, signing up for Bluesky doesn't magically get you their content. I'm off twitter, never really used insta, I have my FB account, but I only log in now when I need to check on specific things (like seeing if people were OK after the wildfires swept through the town I used to live in), and I guiltily admit I still use reddit, largely because a lot of the niche subs I frequent aren't here. I know the solution to that last problem is for someone like me to step up and make them, but... I'm tired boss. I can either be a volunteer firefighter, or I can admin a firefighter com on Lemmy. I can't do both.

She knew exactly what she was going to be defending. She used all the code words and dog whistles from the start.

Her presence on a project will raise my eyebrows.

So I'm assuming she will head to Mozilla or Ubuntu.

Naa I get it, I think I'm more annoyed at how the big guys (bands/nfl teams/companies/ect.) haven't moved. Because if they do, they're going to drag a ton of people with them and it'll kickoff the migration.

The dog?

Cory Doctorow is on mastodon, just like Molly White
