@diegomagdaleno Welcome! Isn't it int16, though?

@pweisk The thing I don't want anyone to forget is that this guy also tried to weasel out of buying Twitter. History is already getting rewritten to portray him as a chessmaster.

But yeah, the question of whether he is a mad genius is somewhat independent of the danger, and it's important not to lose that thread.

@zkat 100%. I think I chose a poor home instance for the content I want, but all of the fediverse is also not the answer, nor is maintaining a bunch of separate accounts.

What if Elon's overpayment for Twitter is a bargain? He now commands the attention of millions of people, who seem powerless to resist commenting on him, on the platform he owns.

I'm extremely weary of talking about him, but I think the dynamic of mass attention capture is alarming and worthy of comment. What does it mean for society's most connected people to be stuck in a mental vortex?

I'm redoing my kitchen, and I want to have regular tap water, filtered water from an under-sink system, and instant 200 degree water from an Insinkerator. Is there a way to do this without 3 different spigots? Would also need to be kid safe.

Also, 3 days into the Twitter takeover, it already looks like a complete shitshow. It's truly a peak Techbro moment. A lot of damage is going to be done. When it ends, I hope the myth of the Tony Stark techbro genius is put to rest.

Hi, Mastodon!

Admittedly, I'm here not because of a deep interest in the Fediverse, but because I'm repulsed from Twitter by the Elon takeover. But hopefully I'll enjoy it here in its own right!
