It's a bit like asking people "Would you rather buy a beautiful apple that is imported from the other end of the world and been treated with insecticides or an apple from a local organic farm that has a few blemishes?"
Most people would say they'd take the second one. But when they go to the supermarket and buy some apples, most of those people still take the beautiful insecticide apple.
Seeing how much people moving from twitter to here complain about minor inconveniences really sheds some light on why IT corporations spend millions on UX and then milions again on advertising their UX.
I'm a slut for complex decentralised networks.
@tortoc Bin da auch nicht drin aber von dem was ich mitbekommen habe, ist es ganz gut, am Anfang als NSC mit zu machen. Da braucht man noch kein fancy Kostüm und kriegt je nach Veranstalter evtl. sogar nochwas gestellt.
Und die Videos von Orkenspalter sind auch ganz informativ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgolK6vNz6c

Ultimatum bei Twitter: Hunderte Angestellte kündigen, Musk schließt die Büros
Nach dem abgelaufenen Ultimatum hat Twitter offenbar Hunderte weitere Angestellte verloren. Zuletzt hat Musk versucht, einige zum Bleiben zu überreden.
But it's kinda ironic: Twitter's mainstream impact has largely been based around people gossiping and squabbling and calling it "news" and "discourse". And now the same tendencies turn back on the platform itself, amplifying the turbulences like a giant digital tacoma narrows bridge.
Honestly, at this point I just ignore the whole twitter drama. People are stumbling over each other trying to make the "funniest" Elon Musk joke, Twittter introduces/reverts changes and everything is a dumpster fire.
Call me when it has either settled or blown up beyond repair, otherwise I'm couldn't care less about the drama
Going from 3D printing and programming stuff to PCB development is such a cluture shock. It really shows how spoiled from rapid iteration you are.
If you make one mistake or miss one edge case, you're screwed and it can take weeks to find the mistake, fix it and make a new prototype.
Huge respect to anyone who does this professionally

@tortoc Ich meine, wie "eIonmusk" mit einem großen I statt einem kleinen L zeigt, ist das auch auf Twitter ein Problem.
Abgesehen davon sehe ich das eher als Vorteil, weil man halt seinen eigenen Namen "mitnehmen" kann, wenn man auf einen anderen Server umzieht.
Hey there! I lost my old login and with recent events in mind, it seemed like a good idea to get used to this place sooner rather than later.
