Elon Musk’s X is throttling traffic to news and websites he dislikes | The site formerly known as Twitter has added a five-second delay when a user clicks on a shortened link to the New York Times,…::undefined
it’s just baby throwing his daily “look at meeeee!” tantrum.
it’ll pass when someone changes his diaper and gives him his binkie.
edit: oh, hey, look at that:
I’m sorry but which developer implements such dark patterns? I mean you have something called work ethic, you don’t implement shit like that…
If you’re on a work visa and you don’t want to get deported then you do what daddy Elon tells you.
some with integrity don’t…
It’s easy to talk about integrity when you’re not in that position.
I was in this position, no other job in sight, no safety net, nothing.
I worked as an lead designer for a big german company and was asked by the head of ux/ui to design an interface to actively trick users and I refused to do it and came up with an alternative. I was yelled at for not doing my job and asked again to do “my fucking work”. I went to my laptop, printet out my resignation papers, handed it over to the ceo and left the building…sure the next 1 and half months were pretty fucky but that’s another story.
In that same week a I had a job interview with another company, went there for a get to know day and happily signed my contract a week later and I have been with this company for 4 years now, moved my way up to head of design and I’m just happy.
And then everyone clapped
okay got the meta, you are not allowed to post your story if you were in such a situation.
I think we’re done here then.
(a) survival bias (b) don’t take credit for what you did, you’re not a highly moral hero, it’s just how chemistry in your brain works; it’s perfectly normal to be egoistic, take care of yourself and not quit from the day 1 just because you don’t like what your boss asked you to do.

And they’ve been gone for quite a while now.
Saw someone else make a good point. I hope all these people that shouted about supporting net neutrality back in the day will make noise about how anti net neutrality this is. (I doubt it, but it’d be nice)
I wonder if anyone’s image has crashed from such highs to such pathetic lows. At the end of the day, it was all PR but he still had the admiration of many people just a few years back i.e before the Thai submarine fiasco. Now most people consider him a petulant child man with a massive fortune. The only good outcome of this fall has been a clear understanding that earning wealth is purely based on luck. It doesnt matter if it is millions or billions ,nothing comes due to our own genius. It is a combination of factors that result in wealth but it is mostly determined at your birth. May be this episode will humble others who might have taken a similar path due to their inexplicable wealth.
There’s Elon Musk spam on this community every day. Can we stop doing the billionaire’s PR for him?
Downvote this garbage.
If 1/2 the clowns that endlessly post anti-Twitter/anti-Musk stories would just STOP USING TWITTER, the entire site would collapse. Sick of seeing that asswipe’s name, but I’m not on his goddamn platform. I don’t drive his shitty cars. I won’t fawn over every goddamn thing he does.
How much of an absolute douche do you have to be to make Zuck look good in comparison?!
You claim you hate the guy, but the fact that you have a Twitter account proves that was a lie.
While I agree, it’s good to know these ridiculous actions he takes. It’s not like it’s positive for him
Musk operates on the “There is no such thing as bad publicity model”. He doesn’t care if the news is bad or good so long as his name / businesses are in the 24-hour news cycle. It’s stupid, but he gets idiots to bring him more attention.
This is %100 wrong when your main source of revenue is advertising. Advertisers very much care about bad press.

Elon zucc cagefight bs is pointless muskspam. This is not
This is a person who’s mission, every day, is how to make the world shittier for everyone. He asks himself, over his breakfast of Cap’n Crunch and a juice box, ‘how can I fuck things up today?’

I’m so sorry.
Free speech my ass…
“Free speech for me"
“but not for thee”
Petulant melon husk at it again.
Wow! The genius of the man. It walks the fine line between infantile and stupid.
So some more lawsuits then, I guess. This can’t be legal.
