So you see no major and ongoing problems with the leadership of the countries that you’re listing here that would give you pause in fundamentally shifting a world standard to something of their collective design?

Yes. The best projects are proposed by and supported by russia typically. Absolutely nothing glaringly wrong about Russia or its leadership at this point in history. /s

Stay away from open windows, friend.

Putting that trust in Russia, huh? We’ll see how that works out for you…

I’m sure they made $600 million through this breech somehow?

“We’d love to not pay you for labor!!!”

:)

“I’m an idiot who hates myself, and especially hates my real and potential kids and grandkids”

All trump voters interviewed as they leave the polls.

Willy Wonka, I invoke thee… please come express my feelings on this for me.

“Who on earth” doesn’t only speak of quantity, it also speaks of quality.

The amount of decent, quality people with something to say and contribute to the Twitter is down to almost nothing, relative to what it was prior to elon.

You can lose “just” 20% of the cereal in your bowl of lucky charms… Yes, most of the mass is still technically in the bowl, but you can lose all the marshmallows in that equation, meaning you’ve lost all the color, texture and flavor that made the whole thing interesting in the first place - you’re then only left with the mostly flavorless, empty, gray, soggy kibble pieces. You’re mistaking a pulse, for a meaningful quality of life.

So, that’s modern Twitter, it’s the plain gray kibble* disintegrating in warming milk. And for “fun” they’ve actually added dog shit, rat poison and rusted razor blades to the kibble.

They increasingly can’t view those posts though.

And I’d argue that the general public actually does care, you can see this reflected in places like all EV sales rising EXCEPT for tesla, Twitter losing half of its advertising revenue (a reflection of elon/Twitter being toxic to their sales goals and the platform rapidly losing eyeballs) and of course basic meme culture. The public care enough to laugh at and reject him.

So actually a lot of reality in clear opposition of your unsupported opinion there…

Reality is much less people than previous. Careful of the metrics you’re looking at when they originate with elon - he’s notorious for creative accounting with the equivalent of counting a Twitter “impression” as anyone who typed a “t” into their search bar.

I understand your apprehension, sometimes the stubborn folks need to actually feel the pain before they realize they actually will give a little… Hopefully your community can move the person to shift

They use it because you visit

Who the fuck still uses Twitter?

This is like a press release about a random gopher farting in the woods in Prague - this “news” is mildly relevant to a total of 7 people in the entire universe.

Sorry we got caught. Please stop looking at us!

I wish i knew what “HAProxy handling TLS offload” meant.

Do you know how Saudi Arabia was elected to that seat?

They are now trying to standardize reference to “review bombing” to try to frame it some nefarious and coordinated “campaign” instead of what it is… A bunch of actual people pissed off at your recent bullshit and responding in real time to express that disappointment and frustration.

Direct consequences of your actions.

They are a reddish shade of purple, at best.

US Supreme Court justices are, by definition, the highest arbiters of truth in the US… BUT the definition is clearly trailing the reality.

Actions, not words.

“Blue mayor” and “Blue governor” are REALLY stretching the definition here… with a healthy push from the ever shifting Overton window.

Look at actions, not words or badges that people pin to their own lapels without earning them.

“Just business”

Are you seriously trying to make the argument that elon “if you advertisers don’t like my performative bootlicking bullshit then go fuck yourself” musk is doing something for the good of a business and NOT because of his vindictive, forever 13 year-old, ultra-divorced, fermented hair plug influenced personal political positions?

You’re 1000% confusing this coincidentally being a move that might not get him banned in Russia, with that being the core motivation. There’s a disconnect in your comment, last two statements are valid, first is cookoo bananas.
