I’m already home, in a functioning democracy with freedom and social welfare. What’s a fash?

Living standards have nothing to do with KGB overthrowing democratic governments.

And I lived in a Soviet-overthrown country, as did my parents and grandparents… you don’t need to convince me of anything.

Not only irrelevant, but also false.

KGB tried the same, but they lost.

Well, ads pay for bills, and most devs have a food and shelter habit…

Lync

I went from outlook and office to Google suite (Gmail and Google docs). So, so much better. Maybe excel has more bells and whistles, but Google docs has everything I need and works so well everywhere. I would consider quitting if they dared to change to Microsoft.

Regarding communication, we use Slack for text and zoom for video, and it’s fine. I also have installed teams and Webex (for customers) and they are all okay-ish. Once I used bluejeans and audio quality was impressively better, but no one seems ot use it.

Ah yes, the 15th standard we’ve been waiting for!

Wrong audience for this message. Most on lemmy are still running with their fingers in their ears yelling la-la-la really loud.

It was kept in Spanish tho, naranja.

ipchains… That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…

Twitter is it’s own entity. Musk is not in debt, Twitter is. And if their coffers are empty they can take more debt, in Twitter’s name. I’m sure a Saudi bank would oblige as long as it’s useful. However Twitter could go bankrupt and Musk would just lose his initial investment, which was a couple of billions max. Saudis, Russians and the Peter Thiels of the world would lose their investments as well, which I’m sure they would see as a small price to pay to kill a platform so inconvenient for them as Twitter was.

Tesla? Last year all tech stocks took a dive. Tesla’s price is based on unicorns and rainbows, so it tracks the tech bubble more than real companies like Ford. Same like OpenAI and others.

This is mostly incorrect.

First he’s not overleveraged from buying Twitter. He bought it with Russian, Saudi, and 400 other investor’s money. There was aist recently published.

Second, he doesn’t need to put any personal money to pay Twitter’s fines, Twitter has its own money/debts and accounting.

Third, even if it was his own money, he would sell stock, he could borrow against it, avoiding selling it.

Fourth, even if all of the above was true (which it isn’t) for a hundred-billionaire, losing tens of millions doesn’t register. It’s like someone with a couple million bucks in the bank losing a few hundred. It’s like a nice dinner.

Skill issue.

Have… you met C?

You’re the one that suggested reading logs helps. Burden of proof and all that.

We have the best commenters. Because of ban.

I don’t see how documenting a user’s deleted comment history helps with abusive mods and admins, or promotes either participation or consumption. Care to enlighten me?

Yes, they need, but for “normies” there’s little reason to, and you have the first mover penalty.
