        Fine, I say we take every single bit of his hundreds of billions in $1 bills and bury it on top of him. I’m sure that weighs quite a bit

    He’s a hypocrite, and a piece of shit. Stop listening to him. Stop reading his tweets. Stop giving him any attention at all. He’s dirt under our boots and deserves nothing more.

      I use a filter on Mastodon so I can limit how much Elon Musk headlines I see. People love to talk about him, I mean here we are…but at least with the filter I can tune out the noise most of the time. It’s blissful. A shame there’s no filters (that I know of) on Lemmy to hide asshats like this. I already know Musk is a POS, I don’t need to see a dozen articles every single day to remind me…

        Some of the Lemmy apps have keyword filters. I’m using Thunder, but I know some others have it too. No clue if there’s anything for desktop though.

        Eternity, Boost, and Connect have a post filter option. Which client are you using? It’s Muted Words on Boost.

    Me: Hates musk.

    Also me: dislikes Apple.

    Still me: See’s this story as Musk doing another stupid thing to kill more business on both ends.

    Finally me: Yessss…this news pleases me.

      Musk banning Apple devices with how popular iPhones are to use twitter would hurt Musk more than it would hurt either Apple or OpenAI so it just sounds like a win win.

      Musk raised $6 billion in a recent funding round for his would-be OpenAI competitor, xAI, whose first product, Grok, is meant to serve as a politically incorrect answer to ChatGPT. In addition to Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk is founder of brain interface startup Neuralink and tunneling venture Boring Company.

      Seems pretty straightforward to me.

      Lemmy seems to hate any new technology, I’ve noticed.

      Personally I’ve found GPT to be extremely useful as a search engine replacement, especially the implementations that cite their sources. That way you can actually fact check instead of wondering if it’s a hallucination. It helps me rely on reddit a lot less to find answers. I love that it’s being integrated with Windows. Makes finding files a lot easier, even easier than using Everything search.

      Lemmy also hates crypto. They call it a scam, despite the fact that it’s now being traded on the stock market (BTC and soon to be ETH). I turned $12k into $36k, just by buying small amounts of BTC every paycheck since COVID started. I buy everything with crypto; there are Visa debit cards you can use to spend it. Crypto gave me enough financial wiggle room that I no longer worry about losing my job. Yet it’s a “scam”. Give me a fucking break.

      Lemmy hates HDR. Every time I mention the reason why I haven’t switched to Linux yet is because of poor HDR support in KDE, I get ridiculed. “Why would you want your monitor brighter and more colorful? Mine’s bright and colorful enough”, failing to realize just how much more realistic “brighter and more colorful” makes an image appear. With a proper 1000 nit OLED display, it feels more like looking out of a window than staring at a monitor. Like going from a black and white to color TV. One of those things that you can’t go back on once you get used to it.

      And although not a new technology, per se don’t even get me started on how much Lemmy hates cars. But I feel like I’ve ranted on long enough so I’m just going to stop talking here before my inbox blows up.

        I think I’ve mentioned the HDR issue in every comment I’ve made about my attempts to daily drive Linux, but I’ve never seen anyone get mad about it. It’s also not the make it or break it issue that’s keeping me from switching full-time though.

      Do people just use the Starlink router without their own firewall behind it?

      Never in my life have I ever used the AP/switch function of the supplied router. That fucking thing can live outside my network, I don’t trust an ISP to wipe their ass after shitting, let alone keep a router updated.

            When I heard about that I thought it was pretty condescending.

            Like give me an Ethernet port so I can plug my shit into it without giving you more money for something that really should be included.

            That’s like not putting door handles on a car.

              I was pretty surprised and pissed off when it showed up and I couldn’t find a way to plug in a cable.

              On the other hand, it’s the best internet I’ve had out in the ass end of nowhere.

    560 BC - Oracle of Delphi: Croesus, if you make war on the Persians, you will destroy a mighty empire.

    2024 AD - Oracle of Delphi: Elon, if you make war on Apple, you will destroy a mighty empire.

    Me: Yes, Elon, do it. Do it now!

        He was technically a founding member, but left the company. Literally all of this is because he’s jealous he can’t pull a Tesla and claim all the credit for another tech company.

    In case anybody is wondering why he’s making a big deal out of it.

    As to why emoji feels the need to make his own “anti-woke” AI, it’s because he thinks that, at some point in the future, our AI overlords will decide to cull white people to meet “forced diversity quotas.” I’m not kidding.

        It’s cause he’s not the one who’s actually making these things. He’s just the guy who provides money to make these things.

        P.S. if someone could invent a predictive text algo that can distinguish between cause and cuz, that would actually be an amazing innovation. /rant
